Managing Director's report 
30 June 2018 

Dear Shareholders 

FY2018 was a year of significant change for the Company.  

We shifted our focus away from lower margin sales that supported revenue growth in previous years to higher margin and 
more attractive market sectors. While we achieved a lower turnover for the year, our sales were at higher margins, leading 
to an improvement to our EBITDA result. 

Although we did not achieve our goal of positive EBITDA, I can report the following: 

  Revenue decreased to $17.4M from $21.5M 
  Gross margin improved to 51% from 46% 
  EBITDA improved to negative $2.6M from negative $2.9M  
  Operating cash outflows decreased to $3.5M from $7.6M 

In September 2017, a restructure of the Board led to the resignations of Kenneth Ting and Paul Casey; Mark Bouris moving 
to  a  non-executive  Chairman  role  and  announcing  his  intention  to  resign  at  the  conclusion  of  the  2018  AGM;  and  the 
appointment  of  new  Directors,  John  Wilson  as  Managing  Director  and  Graham  Lenzner  (Non-Executive  Director).  Thierry 
Denis  (Non-Executive  Director)  and  Mario  Vecchio  (Non-Executive  Director)  joined  the  Board  in  May  2018.  Significantly, 
these changes represent a major shift in Company operation from an executive board to a more traditional board structure 
of independent non-executive Directors and a Managing Director.  

I would like to thank Kenneth Ting and Paul Casey for their contributions to the Company during their tenures as Directors. 
Working  with  the  Board,  our  year  has  been  focused  on  putting  in  place  the  right  foundations  for  a  sustainable  business 
model, one with greater levels of accountability, stronger governance and cost management, a focus on profitable business 
growth and a commitment to expanding the potential of the Company’s Smart Device technology. 

Our  vision  is  to  become  a  world  class  technology  company,  specifically  a  world  leader  in  smart  locking  and  fastening 
devices, capable of being networked and controlled over the internet and managed by TZ proprietary software. The pace of 
technology innovation continues to accelerate and the core enablers that underpin our technology offering are more relevant 
and  importantly,  more  readily  deployable  today  than  in  past  years.  We  need  to  position  ourselves  as  a  true  technology 
company and leverage the track record of performance demonstrated in our Data Centre and Smart Locker businesses to 
spring board into new application areas and business opportunities.  

Existing business streams 
Over 90% of our business today is through TZ Smart Locker sales. In fiscal year 2017, 40% of those Smart Locker sales 
were to the postal and logistics sectors at an average gross margin below 20%. Today, postal sales only represent 25% of 
our sales mix with the majority of sales directed at the attractive corporate, educational and retail sectors.  

We  have  improved  our  margins  to  postal  sector  customers  by  moving  to  service-based  offerings  such  as  annuity  hosting 
and  software-as-a-service  options.  Importantly,  we’ve  continued  to  be  able  to  attract  new  and  large  corporate  customers 
demonstrating that demand exists for our differentiated high-end offerings. As a consequence, our Smart Locker business is 
in a healthier position today with sales spread across an extensive range of large retained corporate customers in multiple 
application sectors and an increasing acceptance of subscription based hosted software offerings. 

Our efforts to market our offering to the large addressable US University sector has seen strong growth in sales, particularly 
to  the  private  university  sector  with  major  deployments  at  Rutgers,  Princeton,  Virginia  Tech,  Regis  University  and  tender 
wins with the University of Charlestown, University of Maine, Villanova and several others. With each University sale in the 
range  of  US$200,000  to  US$600,000,  penetrating  this  segment  and  winning  market  share  is  important  for  the  continued 
growth of the US business.  

We  have  also  established  a  new  business  stream  by  successfully  retrofitting  our  electronics  and  deploying  software  to  a 
competitor’s system. The industry has seen some Locker manufacturers retract from their existing Locker supply businesses 
leaving  customers  with  large  installed  systems  that  no  longer  can  be  supported  and  maintained.  The  ability  for  TZ  to 
upgrade these existing networks provides a profitable revenue that fully leverages TZ’s technology capability and provide an 
opportunity for further system sales. 

Click and collect is continuing to gain traction with major retailers as they consider the value of offering a range of new e-
commerce services to their customer that require new last mile delivery options. TZ has been engaged by several consumer 
and industrial retailers who are looking to TZ to help them establish Retail Locker networks which are fully integrated with 
their on-line platforms.

TZ Limited 
Managing Director's report 
30 June 2018 

All markets are showing positive signs for Smart Locker business growth. Europe delivered $3M in sales from a standing 
start and Asia is emerging from the dominant Sing Post and Pos Malaysia Postal Locker contracts to build new business 
opportunities with major Singapore based property developers with End-of-Trip and Day Locker offerings. 

While  our  PAD  sales  continue  to  develop  strongly,  we  still  have  opportunities  to  reduce  our  deployment  costs  and  to 
improve the consistency of the overall service experience for our customers. We are continuing to proactively address our 
service performance and are implementing changes that should make a difference in the coming twelve months. 

This year, our data centre rack locking sales showed nominal growth, maintaining last years’ sales levels. The business has 
always been heavily dependent on new data centre builds and therefore sales have consistently been impacted by delays in 
project  starts  or  in  building  programs.  Looking  forward,  retained  TZ  customers  such  as  NextDC  and  Macquarie  Telecom 
have announced major expansion programs over the next three years and we hope to continue to work with them. Both the 
Australian and US businesses expect to see stronger growth rates in fiscal year 2019.  

Building Awareness 
Communication to the market is an area where we need to improve how our product offering is viewed by customers. Most 
of our customers see us as a Locker manufacturer rather than a technology provider. 

The opportunities for state-of-the-art smart locking solutions are emerging and we need to be seen as the provider of choice 
for these complex applications. Our aim is for new business lead generation to be driven by structured market awareness. 
Repositioning the business in the eyes of our customers and the market remains a most important priority. Work is currently 
being  done  to  develop  new  web  sites  that  better  communicate  our  offerings  and  capabilities.  As  competitive  intensity 
increases across our segments and products, we need to be clearly differentiated as the technology provider we are. 

New business streams 
Expanding our business application focus is designed to help us realise new opportunities that leverage our core technology 
platform.  We  are  working  on  building  new  integrated  end-to-end  hardware,  firmware  and  application  software  innovations 
that can create opportunities and new possibilities for our business. We see a range of sectors where our technology could 
be applied including the consumer residential market, healthcare, workplace and retail sectors. These opportunities will take 
time to nurture but we have a number of opportunities that are currently being pursued.  

This  year  we  announced  the  co-development  agreement  with  a  global  automotive  manufacturer  to  develop  a  new  utility 
vehicle that will integrate TZ Smart Device Technology. The project has been funded by our partner and we have completed 
a  functional  prototype  which  is  currently  undergoing  extensive  testing  and  evaluation.  We  are  hopeful  that  the  project 
progresses and that the collaboration is announced publicly before the end of the calendar year. 

This  year  we  completed  the  sale  of  our  Infinity  Design  business.  Our  internal  engineering  capabilities  have  developed 
strongly under the stewardship of our CTO, Adam Forsyth. Accordingly, we believe that the time was right for us to focus our 
energies solely on internal TZ projects instead of the distraction of running a fee-for-service design consultancy. 

Looking forward 
We have a clear strategy and are focusing on the things that will make a difference. Momentum is building and we need to 
continue to expand our current customer base and to continue to improve our service levels.  

Building awareness of our Company will not only increase our market profile but present ourselves in a different light to our 
customers and expand the horizons of each engagement.  

Finally, we need to build our path towards future, long term and sustainable revenue growth through technology licensing 
and development partnerships. 

In summary we need to do three things well:  

1.  Drive value and growth from our existing business streams; 
2.  Build awareness amongst our excellent corporate customer base of our potential breadth of offerings and capability; 

and 

3.  Build new high growth businesses founded on technology licensing and commercialisation partnering.

TZ Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as 
the 'consolidated entity') consisting of TZ Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it 
controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2018. 

Directors 
The following persons were directors of TZ Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, 
unless otherwise stated: 

Mark Bouris - Chairman 
John Wilson (appointed on 4 September 2017) 
Graham Lenzner (appointed on 8 September 2017)
Thierry Denis (appointed on 1 May 2018) 
Mario Vecchio (appointed on 1 May 2018) 
Kenneth Ting (resigned on 4 September 2017) 
Paul Casey (resigned on 29 November 2017) 

Principal activities 
During  the  financial  year  the  principal  continuing  activities  of  the  consolidated  entity  consisted  of  the  development  of 
intelligent devices and smart device systems that enable the commercialisation of hardware and software solutions for the 
management, control and monitoring of business assets and the provision of associated value added services through its 
subsidiaries globally. 

Currently  this  technology  is  monetised  through  the  sale  of  its IXP  and  PAD  product  lines.  Infrastructure Protection  (IXP) 
offers a  cost effective,  cabinet  level  locking solution that  delivers physical security,  environmental  monitoring,  authorised 
access  control  and  real-time  compliance  reporting  for  the  data  centre  market.  Package  Asset  Delivery  (PAD)  solutions 
feature state-of-the-art system of modular lockers that integrate a network of TZ SMArt™ locking devices and proprietary 
system software. PAD solutions are used in the postal / logistics sector and for accountable mail and corporate day lockers 
in the commercial market. 

All  of  the  operations  of  the  consolidated  entity  are  based  in  Australia,  the  United  States  of  America,  Singapore  and  the 
United Kingdom. 

Dividends 
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Review of operations 
The  consolidated  entity  recorded  operating  revenue  of  $17.4M  for  the  year  (30  June  2017:  $21.5M). Improved  gross 
margins of 51.1% (30 June 2017: 46.0%) and tighter control of overhead expenses resulted in improved Earnings Before 
Interest  Tax  Depreciation  and  Amortisation  ('EBITDA')  loss  of  $2.6M  (30  June  2017:  EBITDA  loss  of  $2.9M). The 
impairment of the consolidated entity’s intangible assets valued at $7.4M resulted in a net loss after tax of $11.7m (30 June 
2017: net loss after tax $6.5m).

Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Revenue 
The consolidated entity's operating revenue recovered strongly from a weaker than expected first half result of $6.0M to 
post a second half result of $11.4M. Full year revenue was $17.4M which is 19% lower than the financial year ended 30 
June  2017  ('FY17').  The  lower  revenue  during  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018  ('FY18')  is  reflective  of  the 
consolidated entity’s shift towards a more sustainable mix of sales to a broader customer base in new high value Smart 
Locker sectors, and away from lower margin sales to the postal sector. This shift has improved the consolidated entity’s 
gross margin from 46.0% last year to 51.1% in FY18. This trend will be instrumental to the consolidated entity achieving its 
profitable growth ambitions. 

This trend was very evident in the USA business unit. Although total USA revenue was 23.2% lower at $10.3M in FY18, 
revenue in the important USA corporate Locker market rose by 25.5% compared to last year which resulted in an improved 
gross profit result of $5.8M (FY17: $5.6M). The overall gross margin of the USA business unit improved from 41.8% last 
year to 55.8% this year.   

The  increased  commitment  to  the  Europe/Middle  East/Africa  market  ('EMEA')  through  the  appointment  of  a  General 
Manager in the United Kingdom at the start of FY18 has produced immediate results with the signing of a large logistics 
customer  in South  Africa. This  new  business  generated  revenues of  $2.6M  in South  Africa this  year (FY17:  Nil)  and  the 
prospects are strong that further opportunities will materialise in this market in FY19. 

Overheads 
The consolidated entity implemented a number of cost saving initiatives this year which resulted in overheads of $11.6M, 
which was $1.2M lower than the $12.8M spent last year. 

Impairment 
At the half year point in December 2017, following a weaker than expected first half revenue result, the Board decided to 
impair in full the intellectual property assets associated with the IXP and PAD products. These property assets were mainly 
comprised  of  capitalised  patent  costs  and  hardware  and  software  development  costs. The  value  of  the  impairment  was 
$7.4M (FY17: $1.3M). 

Despite  the  full  impairment  in  December,  the  Board  is  firmly  convinced  of  the  value  of  the  PAD  IP  assets  and  the 
consolidated  entity  continued  to  capitalise  PAD  development  costs  in  the  second  half  of  the  year. At  30  June  2018,  the 
value of capitalised PAD development costs was $0.6M. 

Financial Position 
Following the impairment of the intangible assets of $7.4M, the net assets of the consolidated entity decreased from $7.3M 
at 30 June 2017 to $1.0M at 30 June 2018.  

On  8  November  2017,  the  company  completed  a  two  for  five  rights  issue  which  raised  $5.5M. The  company  then 
restructured its capital by way of a 10:1 share consolidation, reducing the number of shares on issue to 70.6 million. 

The strong revenue result in the second half of the year, including in the final month of the year, resulted in a significant 
amount  of  revenue  being  accrued  by  year  end  for  completed  and  partially  completed  projects  that  were  invoiced  to 
customers after year end. This led to accrued revenue at 30 June 2018 being $3.3M (30 June 2017: $1.8M). 

At  the  end  of  the  year,  the  consolidated  entity  had  an  available  debt  facility  of  $1M,  unchanged  from  the  end  of  the 
previous year. After year end, the debt facility was extended by an additional $2M to improve TZ’s working capital position 
ahead of the new financial year. 

Operating cash flow 
The  consolidated  entity  achieved  a  significant  improvement  in  operating cash flows  this  year,  down  to  a  cash  outflow  of 
$3.5M in FY18 from $7.6M in FY17. 

Investment in product development 
The consolidated entity continued its investment in product development and manufacturing improvements with a $1.5M 
spend  supporting  development  of  the  consolidated  entity’s  next  generation  SMArt  Devices,  TZ  Software  platform  and 
licensing initiatives. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
On  7  August  2018,  the  consolidated  entity  increased  its  borrowing  facility  with  First  Samuel  Limited  by  an  additional 
$2,000,000, increasing the total facility to $7,000,000. The increase comprises two revolving tranches of $1,000,000 which 
can be repaid and redrawn if repayments are made before the end of the term. The interest rate applicable to the additional 
facility is 90 day BBSW plus 9% per annum, payable 6 monthly in arrears. Under the revised facility, $3,000,000 of the total 
loan  facility  matures  on  13  December  2019  and  $4,000,000  matures  on  5  May  2020.  The  facilities  are  secured  by  first 
ranking security interest over the assets of the consolidated entity.  

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2018 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the  consolidated  entity's  operations,  the  results  of  those  operations,  or  the  consolidated  entity's  state  of  affairs  in  future 
financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
Further information on the future strategies is detailed in the review of operations which precedes the Directors' Report and

Remuneration report (audited) 
The  remuneration  report,  which  has  been  audited,  outlines  the  director  and  key  management  personnel  remuneration 
arrangements for the consolidated entity and the company, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
●

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The objective of the consolidated entity's and company's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance 
is  competitive  and  appropriate  for  the results  delivered.  The  framework aligns executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of 
strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms with the market best practice for delivery of 
reward.  The  Board  of  Directors  ('the  Board')  ensures  that  executive  reward  satisfies  the  following  key  criteria  for  good 
reward governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 

 set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees; 
 link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and
 establish appropriate demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration. 

The  Board  reviews  and  is  responsible  for  the  consolidated  entity’s  remuneration  policies,  procedures  and  practices.  A 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  has  been  established  and  it  will  be  responsible  for  the  remuneration  policies 
commencing from the financial year ended 30 June 2019 

The  consolidated  entity  established  a  Director  and  Executive  Equity  Plan  in  2009  to  attract,  retain,  motivate  and  reward 
senior  executives  and  directors  (including  non-executive  directors)  of  the  company  (collectively  the  'Participants')  by 
issuing  either  or  both  rights  and  options  to  the  Participants  to  allow  the  Participants  to  acquire  fully  paid  ordinary  class 
shares  in  the  company  upon  exercising  the  rights  or  options,  as  the  case  may  be.  The  exercise  of  each  right  or  option 
entitles the holder of that right or option, as the case may be, to acquire one fully paid ordinary class share in the capital of 
the company. 

Under the Director and Executive Equity Plan, the number of rights and options that may be issued to a Participant and the 
performance criteria and hurdles to be met prior to the issue or exercise of such Rights and Options is to be set by the 
board of directors of the company.

Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Non-executive directors remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  which  are  made  on,  and  the  responsibilities  of,  the 
directors.  Non-executive  directors'  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board.  The  Board  considers  advice 
from  shareholders,  and  takes  into  account  the  fees  paid  to  non–executive  directors  of  comparable  companies,  when 
undertaking the annual review process. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives. 

ASX  listing  rules  require  that  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors  remuneration  shall  be  determined  periodically  by  a 
general meeting. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which 
it  is  apportioned  amongst  directors  is  reviewed  annually.  The  most  recent  determination  was  at  the  AGM  held  on  30 
November 2006, where the shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000. 

Executive remuneration 
The  consolidated  entity  and  company  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  based  on  their 
position and responsibility, which is both fixed and variable. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 base pay and non-monetary benefits 
 short-term performance incentives 
 share-based payments 
 other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the 
Board,  based  on  individual  and  business  unit  performance,  the  overall  performance  of  the  consolidated  entity  and 
comparable market remunerations. 

Executives  can  receive  their  fixed  remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  fringe  benefits  (for  example  motor  vehicle 
benefits)  where  it  does  not  create  any  additional  costs  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  adds  additional  value  for  the 
executive. 

The  short-term  incentives  ('STI')  program  is  designed  to  align  the  targets  of  the  business  units  with  the  targets  of  those 
executives in charge of meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets 
and key performance indicators ('KPI') being achieved. KPI’s include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership 
contribution and product management. 

The  long-term  incentives ('LTI')  includes  long  service  leave  and  share-based  payments.  As  noted  above,  a  Director and 
Executive Equity Plan has been set up to reward executives based on long term incentive measures in the form of options 
and rights. These include increase in shareholders' value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the 
consolidated entity's direct competitors. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration 
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. Executives and other 
employees  can  be  issued  with  options  and  rights  to  acquire  shares  in  the  company.  The  number  and  the  terms  of  the 
options  and  rights  issued  are  determined  by  the  directors  after  consideration  of  the  employee's  performance  and  their 
ability to contribute to the achievement of the consolidated entity's objectives. Refer to the additional information section of 
the remuneration report for details of the last five years earnings and total shareholders return ('TSR'). 

Use of remuneration consultants 
During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018,  the  consolidated  entity  engaged  Remuneration  Strategies  Group, 
remuneration  consultants,  to  advise  on  an  employee  equity  plan.  Remuneration  Strategies  Group  was  paid  $4,510  for 
these services. 

The Board is also required to make inquiries of the consultant's processes at the conclusion of the engagement to ensure 
that they are satisfied that any recommendations made have been free from undue influence. The Board is satisfied that 
these protocols were followed and as such there was no undue influence. 

Voting and comments made at the company's 2017 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the last AGM 93.2% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The 
company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

TZ Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
●

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity
of the auditor; and 
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company,
acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

●

Officers of the company who are former partners of Grant Thornton 
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of Grant Thornton. 

Rounding of amounts 
The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) 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 directors' report. 

Auditor 
Grant Thornton continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

This  report  is  made  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  directors,  pursuant  to  section  298(2)(a)  of  the  Corporations  Act 
2001.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies 

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

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  all  of  the  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  that  are  mandatory  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  adoption  of  these 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of 
the consolidated entity. 

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

Going concern 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

While the consolidated entity incurred losses for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, in assessing the appropriateness 
of the going concern concept the following factors have been taken into consideration by the Directors: 
● 

 The Directors are of the view the consolidated entity is on track to meet revenue targets for the 30 June 2019 financial
year. It is expected that, as the monthly revenue levels increase, the consolidated entity’s operating business units will
be in a position to contribute positive cash to the bottom line; and
 The  Directors  maintain  a  positive  outlook  on  achieving  profitability  and  positive  cash  flows  in  the  30  June  2019
financial year based on the strength of the sales pipeline.

● 

In  making  their  assessment,  the  Directors  acknowledge  that  the  ability  of  the  consolidated  entity  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern  is  dependent  on  meeting  sales  and  profitability  forecasts,  the  generation  of  positive  cash  flows,  the  continued 
support of shareholders and the raising of additional share capital as and when required in the future. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis for the above reasons. Accordingly, the financial 
statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  assets  or  to  the 
amounts  and  classification  of  liabilities  that  might  be  necessary  should  the  consolidated  entity  not  continue  as  a  going 
concern. 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for  derivative  financial 
instruments at fair value. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 27. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of TZ Limited ('company' or 
'parent  entity')  as  at  30  June  2018  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  TZ  Limited  and  its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

TZ Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control 
ceases. 

Special purpose entities ('SPEs') are those entities where the consolidated entity, in substance, controls the SPE so as to 
obtain the majority of benefits without having any ownership interest. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in  equity.  The 
consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any  investment  retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information  presented  is  on  the  same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is TZ Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

Sale of goods 
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the 
risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net of sales returns and trade discounts. 

Project revenue 
Project revenues are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Stage of completion is measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of costs for each contract. Where 
the  contract  outcome  cannot  be  reliably  estimated,  revenue  is  only  recognised  to  the  extent  of  the  recoverable  costs 
incurred to date. 

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. 

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  that  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted, 
except for: 
● 

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
nor taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the
foreseeable future. 

● 

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. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets 
against  current  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets  against  deferred  tax  liabilities;  and  they  relate  to  the  same  taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

Reclassification 
Comparative figures in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and in the statement of financial 
position have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the entity's 
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the 
reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  due  to  be  settled  within  12  months  after  the  reporting  period;  or  there  is  no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Cash and cash equivalents 
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. 

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

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written 
off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.  A  provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables  is  raised  when  there  is 
objective evidence that the consolidated entity 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  60  days  overdue)  are  considered  indicators  that  the 
trade receivable may be 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. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 

Inventories 
Finished  goods  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value  on  a  'first  in  first  out'  basis.  Cost  comprises  of 
purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  are  included  as  part  of  the 
initial  measurement,  except  for  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  They  are  subsequently  measured  at 
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of 
the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. 

Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  financial assets  have expired  or  have 
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

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 carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised 
in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The  consolidated  entity  assesses  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  whether  there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  a 
financial  asset  or  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  Objective  evidence  includes  significant  financial  difficulty  of  the 
issuer  or  obligor;  a  breach  of  contract  such  as  default  or  delinquency  in  payments;  the  lender  granting  to  a  borrower 
concessions  due  to  economic  or  legal  reasons  that  the  lender  would  not  otherwise  do;  it  becomes  probable  that  the 
borrower  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  other  financial  reorganisation;  the  disappearance  of  an  active  market  for  the  financial 
asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows. 

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost 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. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised 
had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment  
over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Office equipment 

20 - 33%
20%
15 - 35%

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date. 

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
consolidated entity.  

Leases 
Lease payments under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged 
as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability 
and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. 

Where assets are acquired by means of finance leases, the present value of minimum lease payments is established as an 
asset  at  the  beginning  of  the  lease  term  and  amortised  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  expected  economic  life.  A 
corresponding liability is also established and each lease payment is allocated between such liability and interest expense. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. 

Patents 
Expenditure directly attributable to the registration of patents is capitalised at cost and is amortised over the useful life of 15 
years. 

Research and development costs 
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is capitalised if the 
product or service is technically feasible, adequate resources are available to complete the project, it is probable that future 
economic  benefits  will  be  generated  and  expenditure  attributable  to  the  project  can  be  measured  reliably.  Expenditure 
capitalised comprises costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate portion of overheads. 

Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses, and are 
amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related projects which vary from 3 to 5 years.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill  and  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  non-financial  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. 

Trade and other payables 
These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  consolidated  entity  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 days of recognition. 

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the 
loans or borrowings are classified as non-current. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries and other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date 
are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
Employee benefits not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of 
expected  future  payments  to  be  made  in  respect  of  services  provided  by  employees  up  to  the  reporting  date  using  the 
projected  unit  credit  method.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on 
high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible. 

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

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services.  

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured at  fair  value on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact 
of dilution, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the 
risk  free  interest  rate  for  the  term  of  the  option,  together  with  non-vesting  conditions  that  do  not  determine  whether  the 
consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other 
vesting conditions.

TZ Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best  estimate  of  the  number  of  awards  that  are  likely  to  vest  and  the  expired  portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

Market  conditions  are  taken  into  consideration  in  determining  fair  value.  Therefore,  any  awards  subject  to  market 
conditions  are  considered  to  vest  irrespective  of  whether  or  not  that  market  condition  has  been  met,  provided  all  other 
conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification had not been made. 
An  additional  expense  is  recognised,  over  the  remaining  vesting period,  for  any  modification  that  increases  the  total  fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is 
treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied 
during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the 
award is forfeited. 

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, they are treated as if they had vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award are treated as if they were a modification. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date;  and  assumes  that  the  transaction  will  take  place  either:  in  the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its 
highest  and  best  use.  Valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are 
available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used,  maximising  the  use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimising  the  use  of 
unobservable inputs. 

Issued capital 
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. 

Business combinations 
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  to 
profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for 
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated 
entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  consolidated  entity  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity 
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying 
amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity. 

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The  measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of TZ Limited, 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 financial year. 

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  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Rounding of amounts 
The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) 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. 

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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. 
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
This  standard  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018.  The  standard  replaces  all 
previous  versions  of  AASB  9  and  completes  the  project  to  replace  IAS  39  'Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall 
be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect 
contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets 
are  to  be  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an  irrevocable  election  on 
initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive 
income  ('OCI').  For  financial  liabilities,  the  standard  requires  the  portion  of  the  change  in  fair  value  that  relates  to  the 
entity's  own  credit  risk  to  be  presented  in  OCI  (unless  it  would  create  an  accounting  mismatch).  New  simpler  hedge 
accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of 
the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  will  use  an  'expected  credit  loss'  ('ECL')  model  to  recognise  an  allowance. 
Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased 
significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional 
new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. It is not expected to significantly impact 
the  financial  statements  on  the  basis  that  the  main  financial  assets  recognised  represent  cash  and  cash  equivalent  and 
trade  receivables  that  do  not  carry  a  significant  financing  component  and  involve  a  single  cash  flow  representing  the 
repayment of principal, which in the case of trade receivables is the transaction price. Both asset classes will continue to 
be measured at face value. Other financial asset classes are not material to the consolidated entity. Financial liabilities of 
the consolidated entity are not impacted as the consolidated entity does not carry them at fair value. 

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 core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict 
the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or 
implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction 
price,  adjusted  for  the  time  value  of  money  excluding  credit  risk;  allocation  of  the  transaction  price  to  the  separate 
performance  obligations  on  a  basis  of  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each  distinct  good  or  service,  or  estimation 
approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. 
Credit  risk  will  be  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.  For  goods,  the  performance 
obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is 
satisfied  when  the  service  has  been  provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to  customers.  For  performance 
obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue 
should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. 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. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required 
to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to 
those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated 
entity  will  adopt  this  standard  from  1  July  2018,  resulting  in  an  expected  decrease  in  accrued  revenue  of  $314,000,  an 
increase in work in progress of $142,000 and an overall decrease in net assets of $172,000.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

AASB 16 Leases 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 
117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, 
a  'right-of-use'  asset  will  be  capitalised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position,  measured  as  the  present  value  of  the 
unavoidable  future  lease  payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term.  The  exceptions  relate  to  short-term  leases  of  12 
months  or  less  and  leases  of  low-value  assets  (such  as  personal  computers  and  small  office  furniture)  where  an 
accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit 
or  loss  as  incurred.  A  liability  corresponding  to  the  capitalised  lease  will  also  be  recognised,  adjusted  for  lease 
prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or 
dismantling  costs.  Straight-line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  will  be  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the 
leased  asset  (included  in  operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liability  (included  in  finance 
costs).  In  the  earlier  periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when 
compared  to  lease  expenses  under  AASB  117.  However  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and 
Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit 
or  loss  under  AASB  16.  For  classification  within  the  statement  of  cash  flows,  the  lease  payments  will  be  separated  into 
both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, 
the  standard  does  not  substantially  change  how  a  lessor  accounts  for  leases.  The  consolidated  entity  will  adopt  this 
standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. 

IASB revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  has  been  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('IASB'),  but  the 
Australian equivalent has yet to be published. The revised framework is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning 
on  or  after  1  January  2020  and  the  application  of  the  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  may  result  in  future 
amendments to several accounting standards. Furthermore, entities who rely on the conceptual framework in determining 
their accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting 
Standards may need to revisit such policies. The consolidated entity will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 
July 2020 and is yet to assess its impact. 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its  judgements,  estimates 
and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will 
seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing 
a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes)  within  the  next 
financial year are discussed below. 

Capitalised development costs 
Distinguishing  the  research  and  development  phases  of  a  new  project  and  determining  whether  the  recognition 
requirements  for  the  capitalisation  of  development  costs  are  met  requires  judgement.  After  capitalisation,  management 
monitors  whether  the  recognition  requirements  continue  to  be  met  and  whether  there  are  any  indicators  that  capitalised 
costs may be impaired. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  consolidated  entity  tests  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  impairment, 
whether  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  have  suffered  any  impairment,  in  accordance  with  the 
accounting  policy  stated  in  note  1.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on 
value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on 
the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets at  each  reporting date  by  evaluating  conditions specific  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  to  the  particular asset  that 
may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves 
fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  or  value-in-use  calculations,  which  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates  and 
assumptions.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Note 3. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The consolidated entity operates in one segment being the development and commercialisation of hardware and software 
products  primarily  in  the  US,  Australian  and  Asian  markets.  This  is  based  on  the  internal  reports  that  are  reviewed  and 
used  by  the  Board  of  Directors  (being  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Makers  ('CODM'))  in  assessing  performance  and  in 
determining the allocation of resources. 

The information reported to the CODM, on at least a monthly basis, is profit or loss and adjusted earnings before interest, 
tax, depreciation and amortisation and other one off-items ('Adjusted EBITDA'). 

Intersegment transactions 
Transactions between segments are carried out at arm’s length and are eliminated on consolidation. 

Major customers 
During the year ended 30 June 2018 3 customers (2017: 4 customers) each contributed more than 10% to the external 
revenue  of  the  consolidated  entity.  These  3  customers  contributed  46%  (2017:  4  customers  contributed  56%)  of  the 
consolidated entity's external revenue.

Impairment of goodwill 
As a consequence of the sale of the Infinity Design business during the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the $85,133 of 
goodwill remaining within the Infinity Design CGU after the disposal was written off.  

For the purpose of impairment testing of re-acquired rights and other intangibles the following CGUs are determined to be 
those that benefit from the core patented technology and product development costs. The net carrying values of intangible 
assets (excluding goodwill) allocated to those CGUs is as follows: 

Infrastructure Protection - IXP  
Package Asset Delivery - PAD

The recoverable amounts of the CGU's were determined based on value-in-use calculations covering a detailed five year 
forecast  and  followed  by  an  extrapolation  of  expected  cash  flows  using  the  growth  rates  noted  below.  Management 
consider  the  CGU's  operate  in  the  global  markets  for  IXP  and  PAD  products.  The  growth  rates  reflect  conservative 
estimates for each CGU noting current contracts and expansion of the same and general market growth over the forecast 
period. 

The key assumptions used are as follows: 

IXP  
Revenue growth (average) 17% (2017: 14%) 
Margins (average) 48% (2017: 48.1%) 
Discount rate 14% (2017: 12.6%) 

PAD  
Revenue growth (average) 14% (2017: 14.8%) 
Margins (average) 53% (2017: 46.5%) 
Discount rate 14% (2017: 12.6%) 

Impairment test results - IXP CGU 
Based  on  the  testing  performed  an  impairment  of  $425,000  (2017:  $1,320,000)  was  recognized  for  internally  developed 
hardware  &  software  and  re-acquired  rights  that  support  the  IXP  CGU.  The  recoverable  amount  for  the  IXP  CGU  was 
determined on a value-in-use basis. The directors considered the requirements of AASB 136 “Impairment of Assets” and 
the irregular nature of project-based IXP revenues and have assessed that the carrying value exceeded the recoverable 
amount. The impairment charge represents the excess carrying value of the IXP assets at 31 December 2017, the date at 
which the respective assets were fully impaired. The company continues to invest in the ongoing development of the IXP 
product, however, the associated costs are not being capitalised as they are not assessed to meet the conditions of AASB 
138 Intangible Assets.

Note 13. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Impairment test results - PAD CGU 
Based  on  the  testing  performed  an  impairment  of  $6,901,000  (2017:  $nil)  was  recognized  for  internally  developed 
hardware  &  software  and  reacquired  rights  that  support  the  PAD  CGU.  The  recoverable  amount  for  the  PAD  CGU  was 
determined on a value-in-use basis. The directors considered the requirements of AASB 136 “Impairment of Assets” and 
the  irregular  nature  of  project-based  PAD  revenues  and  assessed  that  the  carrying  value  exceeded  the  recoverable 
amount. The impairment charge represents the excess carrying value of the PAD assets at 31 December 2017, the date at 
which the respective assets were fully impaired. The net carrying value of the PAD CGU at 30 June 2018, represents all 
expenditure capitalised from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2018. 

Impairment test sensitivity  
A reasonable possible change in the key assumptions above would not cause the remaining carrying value of the CGU to 
exceed its recoverable amount.

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary  shares  entitle  the  holder  to  participate  in  dividends  and  the  proceeds  on  the  winding  up  of  the  company  in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the 
company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote. 

Share buy-back 
There is no current on-market share buy-back. 

Unquoted options 
At 30 June 2018 there were 1,000,000 (2017: 16,750,000) options on issue. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for 
one fully paid share in the company at the exercise price per share at any time from the date of issue until expiry of the 
options subject to various vesting dates. 

Capital risk management 
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  consolidated  entity  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The  consolidated  entity  would  look  to  raise  capital  when  an  opportunity  to  invest  in  a  business  or  company  or  invest  in 
growth was seen as value adding. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2017 Annual Report. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Note 20. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price 
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity'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  consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  uses  different  methods  to  measure  different  types  of  risk  to  which  it  is 
exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and ageing analysis for 
credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the  Board').  These  policies  include  identification  and  analysis  of  the  risk  exposure  of  the  consolidated  entity  and 
appropriate  procedures,  controls  and  risk  limits.  Finance  identifies,  evaluates  and  hedges  financial  risks  within  the 
consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The  consolidated  entity  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

The  consolidated  entity's  foreign  exchange  risk  is  managed  to  ensure  sufficient  funds  are  available  to  meet  foreign 
currency commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. The consolidated entity will continually monitor this risk and 
consider  entering  into  forward  foreign  exchange,  foreign  currency  swap  and  foreign  currency  option  contracts  if 
appropriate. 

Creditors and debtors as at 30 June 2018 were reviewed to assess currency risk at year end. The value of transactions 
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective subsidiary was insignificant and therefore 
the risk was determined as immaterial.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 20. Financial instruments (continued) 

Price risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The  consolidated  entity's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  long-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  issued  at  variable  rates 
expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the consolidated entity to fair 
value interest rate risk. 

The  consolidated  entity  invests surplus  cash  in  term  deposits with  fixed  returns.  The  Board  makes  investment  decisions 
after considering advice received from professional advisors. 

The consolidated entity monitors its interest rate exposure continuously. 

As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate exposures:

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in 'liquidity and interest rate risk management' below. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  a  net  cash  deficit  totalling  $2,997,000  (2017:  net  cash  deficit  $3,331,000).  An  official 
increase/decrease in interest rates of one (2017: one) percentage point would have an adverse/favourable effect on profit 
before tax of $30,000 (2017: adverse/favourable $33,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected 
volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts' forecasts. 

Credit risk 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to the 
consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate 
to  mitigate  credit  risk.  The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting  date  to  recognised  financial  assets  is  the 
carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position 
and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral. 

The consolidated entity has a concentration of credit risk exposure with 3 customers, which as at 30 June 2018 owed the 
consolidated entity $1,718,000 (2017: $3,468,000) representing 39.5% ( 2017: 88%) of trade receivables. Of this balance, 
$187,000  (2017:  $720,000)  was  outside  the  customers'  respective  terms  of  trade,  however  management  is  confident  of 
collection  and  no  impairment  was  made  as  at  30  June  2018.  There  are  no  guarantees  against  these  receivables  but 
management  closely  monitors  the  receivable  balance  on  a  monthly  basis  and  is  in  regular  contact  with  this  customer  to 
mitigate risk. 

There is a concentration of credit risk for cash at bank and cash on deposit as most monies in Australia are held with one 
financial institution, St George Bank. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Note 21. Fair value measurement 

Unless  otherwise  stated,  the  carrying  amounts  of  financial  instruments  reflect  their  fair  value.  The  carrying  amounts  of 
trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair 
value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest 
rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

Director and Executive Equity Plan 
The Director and Executive Equity Plan ('DEEP') was approved by shareholders at 2009 Annual General Meeting that was 
held on 26 February 2010. It gives directors and senior executives the opportunity to participate in the plan. There were 
three tranches of options and two tranches of rights granted to the directors in 2010 and three tranches of options granted 
to the directors in 2014. Details of unexpired options that remain on issue are set out below. 

Each  tranche  of  options  had  a  fixed  number  granted  with  vesting  periods  from  one  to  three  years.  Each  option,  when 
validly exercised, entitles the holder to receive one fully paid share in the company.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of TZ Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report

comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, and notes to the consolidated 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: 

a  Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its performance for the year 

ended on that date; 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 and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Material uncertainty related to going concern 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss after tax of 
$11,688,000 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,539,000 during the year ended 30 June 2018. As stated in 
Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists 
that may cast 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.  

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the 
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Revenue recognition (Note 1 and Note 4) 

The Group offers products and services to customers that require 
varied revenue recognition accounting policies given different 
performance obligations. In accordance with AASB 118 Revenues, 
revenue from services is recognised in the accounting period in which 
the services are rendered, by reference to the stage of completion of 
the specific transaction. 

Revenue for Packaged Asset Delivery and Postal projects is 
recognised under the percentage of completion method. This method 
requires a significant amount of management judgement.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the degree of estimation and 
management judgement required to determine the appropriate 
amount of revenue to recognise. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 

  considering the appropriateness of the Group’s revenue 

recognition accounting policies, placing particular focus on those 
products and services for which revenue is recognised under the 
percentage of completion method; 

  holding discussions with key management personnel and project 

managers to understand and evaluate management’s assessment 
and associated assumptions in determining the percentage of 
completion;  

  evaluating the stage of completion calculation for a sample of 

Packaged Asset Delivery and Postal projects to assess whether 
the Group’s accounting policy had been correctly applied; 

  agreeing key terms of individually significant projects to underlying 

 

contracts and purchase orders; 
recalculating and assessing management’s estimate of percentage 
complete by agreeing a sample of costs incurred for projects in 
progress at period end and comparing to the total estimated project 
costs;  

  assessing management’s ability to accurately estimate project 
costs by comparing actual project costs to prior estimates; and 
  assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial 

statements. 

Intangible assets (Note 1 and Note 13) 

The Group capitalises costs incurred in the development and 
enhancement of its proprietary technology.  The Group capitalised 
$626,000 of development costs during the year ended 30 June 2018. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  obtaining a list of additions to intangible assets and agreeing to the 

general ledger; 

AASB 138 Intangible Assets sets out the specific requirements to be 
met in order to capitalise development costs. The process to measure 
the amount of development costs to capitalise involves significant 
management judgement in assessing whether costs meet the

Impairment testing of assets (Note 1 and Note 13) 
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires that an entity shall assess at 
the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that 
an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the entity shall 
estimate the recoverable amount of the asset.  

Forecasting future cash flows and applying an appropriate discount 
rate involves a high degree of estimation and judgement by 
management.    

We have determined this is a key audit matter due to the judgement 
required by management in assessing if impairment indicators are 
present and in preparing an impairment assessment to meet the 
requirements of AASB 136. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  assessing management’s determination of the Group’s cash 

generating units (CGUs) based on our understanding of the nature 
of the Group’s business; 

  assessing management’s allocation of goodwill and other assets to 

the identified CGUs;  

  obtaining the impairment assessment prepared by management 
and assessing the reasonableness of the key assumptions in the 
impairment model including:  

o  checking mathematical accuracy, challenging forecast 

future cash flows and the appropriateness of discount and 
growth rates; and 

o  considering the risk of management bias in the preparation 
of the financial information making up the forecast future 
cash flows;  

  performing sensitivity analysis over key assumptions; and  
  assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial 

statements. 

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 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial report  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
