CEO’S 
REVIEW

THE IDEA OF PROTECTING SURFACES FROM INFECTION AND CROSS 
CONTAMINATION WAS NOVEL WHEN I STARTED THIS COMPANY.  OTHER 
TECHNOLOGIES WERE DESIGNED TO BE USED CONSTANTLY AND 
CONSISTENTLY ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.  THE IDEA OF SOMETHING THAT WAS 
LONG LASTING WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND IMMEDIATELY CAPTURED MY 
IMAGINATION AND IN 2007, ZOONO GROUP WAS BORN.

In 2019, the Board made a strategic 
decision to focus on the development of 
a core group of B2B potential customers 
in the key geographic regions (North 
America, Europe, China and India) with 
the capacity to drive sales growth for 
the Company through consistent (and 
repeated) orders for the Company’s 
products.  

The Company also made the decision 
to defer all further pursuit of retail (B2C) 
business (other than on-line sales).  In 
large part, the decision to change focus 
was a recognition of the fact that the 
Company simply did not have either the 
funding necessary to build a retail brand 
or, with its limited human resources, the 
capacity to build a global retail business.  

Consistent with the above approach, 
the Company opened its UK/EU office 
(located in the UK) in 2018.  In FY19, it 
reviewed its distribution arrangements in 
many countries (including China) and, in 
recent months has now opened an office 
in Shanghai.  We have also opened an 
office in Dubai with Dennis Montgomery 
heading up this region and we purchased 
back the USA distributorship, which is 
now running as a branch, similar to the 
UK/EU office.

During the first six months of 2020 a lot 
of work went into the animal health sector 
through the Company’s partnership 
with Zoono Animal Health and Apiam 
Animal Health Limited (ASX:AHX).  The 
Partnership completed numerous tests; 

collected large quantities of data and 
gained global approvals, driving sales in 
this sector.

And then along came COVID-19.  Zoono 
moved quickly to get international testing 
completed to show our efficacy against 
the virus surrogate, for both the hand 
and surface product. The Australian 
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) 
subsequently agreed to add Zoono’s Z-71 
surface sanitiser to the approved list.

We also moved quickly to increase raw 
material and plastic bottles globally, even 
chartering an aircraft to fly bottles in from 
China.

Through this period the Company 
received a lot of publicity and sales 
exploded, both in B2B and B2C markets.  
After a record month for sales in April 
2020, things have settled into a more 
orderly sales pattern.

Zoono has now partnered with many 
recognised household name multinational 
companies, like Initial Rentokil, Atalian 
Servest, First Group, Bunzl, Qantas 
Airlines and many others some who wish 
to remain confidential.

We had already been knocking on the 
doors of a lot of these companies over 
several years, so it was gratifying to get 
them over the line.

We have had huge success in 
transportation, particularly in trains 
and buses, including the London

profitability continue to grow for years to 
come.

We value our shareholder base, which is 
now extensive, with many shareholders 
also being customers. Your board and 
management team are committed to 
commercialising our range of products 
across as many trade sectors as we can, 
and appointing distributor partners who 
have the infrastructure, business links 
and skills in each of our chosen markets.

We would like to thank all shareholders, 
staff and stakeholders in our business 
and confirm that we are working hard to 
maximise the potential of our products 
and returns to shareholders.

PAUL HYSLOP 
MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO

Underground and UK Land Trains.

Zoono also entered into many new sales 
and distribution agreements globally.

Zoono also moved very early to sort out 
supply chain issues, moving to making 
our own plastic moulds for bottles so 
we can make our own bottles and also 
commissioning a new chemical reactor so 
we can manufacture our own raw material 
to alleviate any future supply issues.

Zoono is now on a global growth curve, 
opening strategic offices and warehouses 
and employing key people globally to 
manage the growth.

Importantly, the Company is adequately 
funded to execute its strategic growth 
plan in FY21 and beyond.  At the 
end of the year, the Company had 
NZ$10,323,216 cash at bank, stock 
of NZ$13,202,029 and receivables of 
NZ$9,229,419.

Zoono is also in a position to pay a 
maiden dividend of 3c per share ($AUD) 
for the 2020 financial year.

The Company will continue to invest in 
and test its products against various 
pathogens and complete trials with 
other potential customers across various 
industries, including childcare, transport, 
animal health, facilities management and 
consumer goods globally.  Again, this is 
being done with the clear expectation 
of signing further long-term distribution 
agreements which will see the Company’s

ENTITIES (TOGETHER CALLED THE ‘GROUP’ OR THE ‘CONSOLIDATED ENTITY’) FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 
JUNE 2020. ALL NUMBERS STATED IN THIS REPORT ARE IN NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED 
OR CONVERTED AT THE EXCHANGE RATES PROVIDED.

are: 

MR. PAUL HYSLOP 
Managing Director

10

MR. DON CLARKE 
Non-Executive Director

MS. ELISSA HANSEN 
Non-Executive Director

MR. JON LAMB 
Chairman (resigned 9 July 2019)

Directors have been in office for all of the 
reporting period and to the date of this 
report unless otherwise stated.

COMPANY SECRETARY  
Ms. Elissa Hansen 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 
The principal activities of the 
consolidated entity during the year 
were to develop and sell a range of 
antimicrobial products in multiple 
countries.

OPERATING RESULT 
The Group recorded an after-tax 
profit of NZ$16,641,700 (2019: Loss 
NZ$2,418,984) for the financial year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 
FY20 has been a year of two distinctive 
halves for the Zoono Group. Having 
made the decision to focus on B2B and 
defer pursuit of retail, the company was 
able to focus on putting the building 
blocks into place, even though sales 
suffered somewhat initially.

Agreements with Microsonic and Turtle 
Wax Inc. for the car wash, automotive 
and cruise industries, and The Z Factor 
Limited for the supply of its proprietary 
poultry formulation utilising Zoono Z71 
Microbe Shield, were the catalyst for 
growth into the B2B market.

These were followed by onboarding 
Midas Pharma GmbH in Europe and 
new distributor and supply agreements 
in multiple countries including Denmark, 
Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
Germany, UK, South Africa, New 
Zealand, Australia, and USA.  

With increased enquiry and product 
demand originating from the UK and 
Europe, opening an office in the UK to 
service these markets proved to be a 
strategic move.

Zoono Poultry (previously known as 
The Z Factor) made significant progress 
following successful trials with African 
Swine Flu in China and subsequently 
became Zoono Animal Health Limited 
as it became clear applications in the 
veterinary market are wide and varied. 
They entered a distribution agreement 
with Apiam Animal Health Limited (ASX: 
AHX), which covers veterinary markets in 
Australia and USA.

Early 2020 saw the emergence in China 

of Covid-19, and the well-publicised 
impacts of that virus on human health. As 
a result the Company was inundated by 
public and shareholder enquiry.

With the efficacy of Zoono’s technology 
and products against viruses and 
bacteria proven, the major issue facing 
the Company this year was how to cope 
with the influx of orders.

To keep ahead of the game the Company: 
ramped up production; relocated to a 
substantially larger warehouse and office 
facility; ordered 4 million bottles to keep 
up with demand; increased raw material 
supplies to make 3 million litres of 
products; and hired more staff.

As New Zealand went into lockdown 
in late March, Zoono continued as an 
essential service supplying local and 
international businesses in healthcare, 
aged care, food production, government 
and personal health and hygiene.

Increased demand necessitated the 
commencement of manufacturing 
significant quantities of product in the UK 
and USA.  

Zoono signed a number of new 
distribution agreements in the UK and 
Europe, including with UK based, global 
distribution companies operating in 
the hygiene and sanitisation markets:  
Rentokil Initial plc; Bunzl Health and 
Hygiene; and Atalian Servest Ltd.  

In addition, UK Police, London 
Underground, and UK and German 
mainline trains and stations started using 
Zoono products in the fight against 
Covid-19. The UK team continues 
to work closely with major global 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
11

channel partners across the facilities 
management, transport, and healthcare 
sectors, and have now moved to larger 
premises to support the bulk activities for 
the UK and Europe.

In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods 
Administration (TGA) approved an 
amendment to allow Zoono to claim 
that Zoono Z-71 Microbe Shied Surface 
Sanitiser is an effective disinfectant for 
hard surfaces against germs, bacteria 
and Covid-19.  

Zoono individual wipes became part of 
the Qantas “Fly Well” programme and 
significant sales (via Zoono’s channel 
partner, WINC) were made into the 
childcare / education sectors, with more 
sectors, including aged care and public 
transport, also being targeted.

The company signed a distribution 
agreement with Johns Lyng Group (ASX: 
JLG) and Zoono Channel partner, Clear 
Facilities, reported strong growth in the 
food manufacturing/processing and 
corporate sectors.

After earlier closing the online NZ store 
due to unprecedented demand, the 
Company re-opened this in late April.  
Packing and shipping of consumer orders 
were outsourced to a third-party logistics 
company (3PL) in New Zealand, and the 
same strategy has since been employed 
for the Australian market.

Production and order fulfilment capabilities 
were increased to meet demand and 
raw material supplies were been secured 
for well into the future.  Zoono is now 
blending and packaging across multiple 
facilities in NZ, USA and UK.

Packaging manufacturing has been 
established in New Zealand to reduce 
the Company’s dependency on imports. 
It also introduced recyclable refill packs 
in the UK and further innovations along 
these lines are planned.

In China, Zoono has reshaped its 
business taking direct control of 
its China business and building a 
business development team to focus 
on relationships with channel partners 
rather than utilising distributors, with 
consequent expected benefits in the form 
of reduced costs and better margins.

A direct deal with Ali Baba in China and 
will see the opening of an international 
online store on Ali Baba to be followed 
later by a TMall flagship store.  Zoono 
has also made in-roads into the hospital 
and school market in China.  It has also 
picked up significant business in Hong 
Kong, including Hong Kong airport, 
through a channel partners.

Zoono has bought out its US distributor 
and is now selling directly in the USA 
through a newly established, wholly 
owned subsidiary, Zoono Holdings USA 

LLC.  Growing Zoono’s North American 
business over the next 2 to 3 years is the 
primary goal, with increased resources 
being allocated to support this strategic 
initiative from H1 of FY21 onwards. 

Replicating the success of the UK 
operation in the North American market 
(and Mexico) is the initial aim.  Expansion 
into South America is on the agenda when 
resources and business permit.  Several 
new distribution agreements have already 
been signed with US based partners.

The Company has appointed its former 
Middle East agent, Dennis Montgomery, 
as its Regional Manager with 
responsibility for the Middle East, Africa, 
Turkey, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.  
Based in the UAE, the Company intends 
to build a business development team 
around him to grow its business in 
the region. Several new distribution 
agreements have already been signed.

Significant business is also underway in 
the veterinary and animal health sector, 
through Zoono’s channel partners, Zoono 
Animal Health and Apiam (ASX: AHX), 
particularly in New Zealand, Australia, 
USA, UK, Ireland, Portugal, Hungary and 
Germany.  Pig and poultry are forming 
the core of this business, where Zoono 
products have already been shown to be 
very effective against several viral and 
bacterial groups affecting this sector, 
including African swine fever.

The Company continues negotiations 
with new customers and distributors 
internationally as it builds its global 
antimicrobial protection business.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 
In the 12 months to 30 June 2020, 
the Group experienced an increase in 
revenue of NZ$36,552,213 (2056.8% 
increase) to NZ$38,329,369 over the 
FY19 year.

Gross Profit achieved was 
NZ$28,333,608 (73.9% of revenue) in the 
current year compared to NZ$816,693 
(46.0% of revenue) in the previous year. 
The increase in Gross Profit was due 
to increased revenues, and the mix of 
products sold which positively affected 
the margins.

dividend will be paid on 21st September 
2020 with a record date of entitlement of 
7th September 2020.

No other matters or circumstances have 
arisen since the end of the financial 
year which significantly affected or may 
significantly affect the operations of the 
consolidated group, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the 
consolidated group in future financial 
years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS 
AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES 
The consolidated entity will continue 
its strategy to focus on the progressive 
expansion of the sale and marketing of its 
product line.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 
The Group’s operations are minimally 
affected by environmental regulations. 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 
IMPLEMENTED 
The Group has implemented one new 
Accounting Standard that is applicable 
for the current reporting period.

AASB 16: Leases has been applied 
retrospectively, with the cumulative 
effect of initially applying the Standard 
recognised as an adjustment to the 
opening balance of retained earnings at 
1 July 2019. Therefore, the comparative 
information has not been restated and 
continues to be reported under AASB 
117: Leases.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR 
APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS 
The AASB has issued a number of new 
and amended Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations that have mandatory 
application dates for future reporting 
periods, some of which are relevant 
to the Group.  The Group has decided 
not to early adopt any of the new and 
amended pronouncement as the Group 
assessed that the new and amended 
pronouncements have no material impact 
on the Group.

The second half FY20 revenues achieved 
was NZ$36,614,389 with Gross Profit for 
the second half at NZ$27,440,165 (74.9% 
of revenue) and Net Profit before tax for 
the second half at NZ$21,139,993 (57.7% 
of revenue). 

Operating costs increased by 
NZ$4,720,518 (140.0% increase) 
compared to FY19 primarily as a result of 
the increase in revenues with additional 
staff taken on board to cope with the 
demand and commissions paid to 
distributors and agents to accelerate 
revenues.

NZ$7,197,888 despite substantially 
increasing stock levels during the year to 
anticipate future demand (movement of 
NZ$12,698,904 over FY19).

DIVIDENDS 
No dividends were paid since the start  
of the financial year. 

FINANCIAL REVIEW 
Zoono Group Limited made significant 
strategic, operational and financial 
progress during the year.

On a consolidated basis, the Group 
delivered:

The consolidated Group net profit after 
tax for the year was NZ$16,659,442 
compared to a loss of NZ$2,418,984 in 
the previous year (a turnaround in net 
profit after tax of NZ$19,078,426).

CASH GENERATION  
AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 
Operating cash flow was achieved 
with a net cash inflow of NZ$8,091,196 
in the current year, an increase of 
NZ$10,972,743 on the previous year. 
This was predominately due to higher 
revenues resulting in higher receipts 
from customers and distributors being 
achieved coupled with strong financial 
management and credit control.

The increase in cash received from 
customers and distributors was also 
as a result of cash received from our 
distributors in the current and prior 
years for pre-paid stock. This meant 
we had sales during the financial year 
for which cash was received in the 
current and prior years. Our Income in 
advance account in the balance sheet 
as a result of these sales increased 
from NZ$323,661 to NZ$1,319,723 – a 
movement of NZ$996,062.

The Consolidated Group issued 200,000 
fully paid ordinary shares in the Company 
at a deemed    price of A$1.77 per share 
for a total consideration of NZ$378,628 
to the UK/EU Regional Manager as part 
of his remuneration package and also 
issued 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares 
in the Company at a deemed price of 
A$2.45 per share for a total consideration 
of NZ$262,032 to the UAE Regional 
Manager as part of his remuneration 
package.

The Group ended the year solidly 
with NZ$10,323,216 in cash reserves 
compared to NZ$3,125,328 in 
the previous year, an increase of 

• Revenue: NZ$38.3m +2,056.8% (FY19:             
NZ$1.8m)

• EBITDA: NZ$20.6m +944.5% (FY19: 
NZ$(2.4)m))

BALANCE SHEET 
The Group continues to maintain a strong 
balance sheet position with net assets 
of NZ$21.0m representing an annual 
increase of NZ$17.1m.

The increased net asset position is 
materially due to the Group’s trading 
profits during the year.

EMPLOYEE OPTIONS 
During the year, the Company issued 
the following options to non-director 
employees:

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND AUDITOR 
The Group has entered into an agreement to indemnify directors and officers during 
the financial year and has taken out an insurance policy to insure each of the directors 
and officers or former directors and officers against liabilities for costs and expenses 
incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while 
acting in the capacity of director or officer of the Group, other than conduct involving 
a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Group. Indemnity has not been provided for 
auditors. Insurance premiums of NZ$120,607 have been paid or accrued by the Group.

REGULATION 
Zoono and it proposed products are subject to various laws and regulations including 
but not limited to accounting standards, tax laws, environmental laws, product 
content requirement, labelling/packaging, regulations and customs regulations. 
Changes in these laws and regulations (including interpretation and enforcement) 
could adversely affect the Group financial performance. Laws and regulations are 
specific to each geographic location. In this regard, there is a risk that a certain 
product may not be able to be supplied in another jurisdiction because it fails to meet 
that jurisdictions regulatory requirements (e.g. product registration requirements). 
Failure of the Group to remain up to date with these various regulatory requirements, 
could adversely affect the Group financial performance.
There were no regulatory issues that arose during the 12 months to 30 June 2020.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP 
Qingdao Zoono Biotech Company Limited instigated legal proceedings against Zoono 
on 20 May 2019 citing breach of contract under a distribution agreement entered into 
on 29 May 2013.  Zoono lodged a counter claim which stated; Qingdao breached 
the distribution agreement by not meeting the minimum annual volumes under the 
agreement and making disparaging comments about Zoono and its products.  The 
Group’s insurers have accepted the claim against Paul Hyslop but will only meet 50% 
of the claim against the Company, less any insurance excess payable. 

The Company took the plaintiff to Court and were awarded costs and the plaintiff was 
ordered to pay costs and has failed to do so.  

The Directors do not believe the outcome of the proceedings will have a material 
effect on the financial statements as Zoono’s counter claim exceeds Qingadao’s 
claim.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
The directors are responsible for the corporate governance practices of the Group. 
The main corporate governance practices that were in operation during the financial 
year are set out in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at 
http://zoono.com/corporate-governance/.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is 
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below 
did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the full board prior to  
  commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity  
  of the auditor; and

•  the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles  

relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for  
  Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards  
  Board.
There were Nil non-audit services rendered during the year ended 30 June 2020.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
An independence declaration has been provided by the Group’s auditor, Hall Chadwick. A copy of this declaration is attached to, 
and forms part of, the financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

REMUNERATION 
REPORT (AUDITED)

3. 

4. 

PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION

DETAILS OF REMUNERATION

SERVICES AGREEMENTS

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

THE INFORMATION PROVIDED UNDER HEADINGS 1 TO 4 INCLUDES REMUNERATION DISCLOSURES THAT ARE 
REQUIRED UNDER ACCOUNTING STANDARD AASB 124 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES. THESE DISCLOSURES  
HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM THE FINANCIAL REPORT AND HAVE BEEN AUDITED.

1. PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF 
REMUNERATION

The performance of the consolidated group depends upon the quality and 
commitment of the directors and executives. The philosophy of the directors in 
determining remuneration levels is to:

16

•  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.

Given the small size of the Group’s board, and the current development stage of the 
Company, a separate Remuneration Committee has not been established to review 
and make recommendations to the full Board on the Group’s remuneration policies, 
procedures and practices. As the Company develops, the Group may establish a 
Remuneration Committee to undertake this role.

The full Board oversees the Group remuneration policies, procedures and practices 
and defines the individual packages offered to executive directors and key 
management personal.

The board may consider engaging an independent remuneration consultant, to advise 
the board on appropriate levels of remuneration relative to its industry peer group.

In accordance with Corporate Governance best practice (Recommendation 8.2), 
the structure of non- executive director and executive remuneration is separate and 
distinct as follows.

A. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION FIXED REMUNERATION:

The Board seeks to set non-executive directors’ remuneration at a level that provides 
the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of a high calibre, whilst 
incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive 
directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The amount of 
aggregate remuneration and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors 
is reviewed annually. 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.

 
 
 
 
 
Directors’ remuneration is inclusive of committee fees. The following net annual fees 
paid to non- executive directors are:

FIXED FEES  
(NZ$)

1 JULY 2019 - 30 JUNE 2020 
 $

1 JULY 2018 - 30 JUNE 2019  
$

Chairman’s Fee
Base Fee
Non-executive directors

-

$65,2312

$144,0001

$63,9832

NOTES: 
1. The net annual fee paid was Nil (2019: AU$60,000) to each director and 
  has been converted at an average exchange rate of 1.0664 for 2019. An additional  
  Executive Chairman’s fee of AU$75,035 which has also been converted at an    
  average exchange rate of 1.0664 was also paid in the prior year.

2. The net annual fee was AU$61,667 (2019: AU$60,000) to each director and has  
  been converted at an average exchange rate of 1.0578 (2019: 1.0664).

B. COMPANY EXECUTIVE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION 
Remuneration for executives and executive directors consists of fixed remuneration, 
short-term incentive payments and options issued.

FIXED REMUNERATION: 
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the directors. The process consists of a 
review of relevant comparative remuneration in the employment market and within the 
Group. The Group may engage an independent remuneration consultant, to advise 
the board on appropriate levels of remuneration for the Group’s Executive Directors 
relative to its industry peer group.

2. DETAILS OF REMUNERATION 
Details of the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel (as defined in AASB 
124 Related Party Disclosures) are set out in Table 1 which follows.

The Key Management Personnel of Zoono Group Limited, including the directors and 
the following consolidated group executives, have authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated group.

NOTES TO  
THE FINANCIAL  
STATEMENTS

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS 
Zoono Group Limited and Subsidiaries 
(the Group) principal activities included 
the research, development and sale 
of a range of antimicrobial products in 
multiple countries.

2.  GENERAL INFORMATION AND  
  STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 
The consolidated financial statements 
are a general-purpose financial report 
that has been prepared in accordance 
with Australian Accounting Standards, 
Australian Accounting Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of 
the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 
Compliance with Australia Accounting 
Standards results in full compliance with 
the International Financial Reporting 
Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board 
(IASB). For the purposes of preparing the 
Consolidated Financial Statement, the 
Company is a for-profit entity.

Zoono Group Limited (the Company) is 
the Ultimate Parent Company, Zoono 
Group Limited is a Public Company 
incorporated in Australia and domiciled 
in New Zealand. The Company registered 
address is Level 12, 225 George Street 
Sydney NSW 2000 Australia.

The Consolidated financial statements of 
the Group as at and for the year ended 30 
June 2020 comprise the Company and 
its subsidiaries (together referred to as 
the ‘Group’ or ‘Consolidated entity’). The 
consolidated financial statements for the 
year ended 30 June 2020 were approved 
and authorised for issue by the board of 
Directors on 20 August 2020.

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

Statement of Cash Flows 
The statement of cash flows comprises 
the cash balance of Zoono Limited, 
Zoono Group Limited and Zoono 
Holdings Limited at the beginning of the 
financial year, and the cash transactions 
of the consolidated Group for the 
12-month period.

3.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING  
  POLICIES 
(a) New and amended Standards   
  adopted by the Group

The Group has considered the 
implications of new or amended 
Accounting Standards which have 
become applicable for the current 
financial reporting period as set out 
below: 

Initial application of AASB 16 
The Group has adopted AASB 16: 
Leases retrospectively with the 
cumulative effect of initially applying 
AASB 16 recognised at 1 July 2019. 
In accordance with AASB 16, the 
comparatives for the 30 June 2019 
reporting period have not been 
restated.

The Group has recognised a lease 
liability and right-of-use asset for all 
leases (with the exception of short-
term and low-value leases) recognised 
as operating leases under AASB 117: 
Leases where the Group is the lessee. 
There has been no significant change 
from prior period treatment for leases 
where the Group is a lessor.

The lease liabilities are measured at 
the present value of the remaining 
lease payments. The Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 
2019 was used to discount the lease 
payments.

The right-of-use asset for wmotor 
vehicles was measured at its carrying 
amount as if AASB 16 had been 
applied since the commencement 
date, but discounted using the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate per lease 
term as at 1 July 2019.

 
 
 
 
 
 
The right-of-use assets for the remaining leases were measured and recognised in the 
statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019 by taking into consideration the lease 
liability and prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised as at 1 July 
2019 (that are related to the lease).

The following practical expedients have been used by the Group in applying AASB 16 
for the first time:

for a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single  

- 
  discount rate has been applied;

leases that have a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019  

- 
  have been accounted for in the same way as short-term leases;

the use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to  

- 
  extend or terminate;

-  applying AASB 16 to leases previously identified as leases under AASB 117 and  
Interpretation 4: Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease without  
reassessing whether they are, or contain, a lease at the date of initial application;  
and

-  not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease  
  under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.

Adjustments recognised in the balance sheet on 1 July 2019 
The following summary indicates the adjustments and reclassifications of financial 
statement line items in the balance sheet due to the implementation of AASB 16.

In the previous year, the Group only recognised lease assets and lease liabilities in 
relation to leases that were classified as “finance leases” under AASB 117: Leases. 
The assets were presented in property, plant and equipment and the liabilities as part 
of the group’s borrowings. For adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 on 1 
July 2019, please refer to Note 3(a). 

Measurement of right of use assets 
The associated right of use assets for property leases were measured on a 
retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. Other right-of-use 
assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the 
amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in 
the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019.

(b) New Accounting Standards for  
  application in future periods

The AASB has issued a number of new 
and amended Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations that have 
mandatory application dates for future 
reporting periods, some of which are 
relevant to the Group.  The Group has 
decided not to early adopt any of the 
new and amended pronouncements as 
the Group assessed that the new and 
amended pronouncements have no 
material impact on the Group.

4.  SUMMARY OF  
  ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The following significant accounting 
policies have been adopted in the 
preparation and presentation of the 
financial report.

(a) General 
Material accounting policies adopted in 
the preparation of this financial report 
are presented below and have been 
consistently applied unless otherwise 
stated.

Reporting basis and conventions 
These financial statements have been 
prepared on an accruals basis under the 
historical cost convention, as modified 
by the revaluation of available-for-sale 
financial assets, financial assets and 
liabilities at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates and 
judgements 
The preparation of a financial report in 
conformity with Australian Accounting 
Standards requires management to make 
estimates, judgements and assumptions 
based on historical knowledge and best 
available current information. Estimates 
assume a reasonable expectation of 
future events and are based on current 
trends and economic data obtained both 
externally and within the Group.

Actual results may differ from the 
estimates.

Fair value of financial assets 
The Group records the fair value of 
financial assets using the market value 
of the investments at reporting date. 
While this represents the best estimate 
of the fair value as at the reporting date, 
the current market uncertainty means 
that, if the financial assets are sold in the 
future, the price achieved may be higher 
or lower than the most recent valuation, 
and higher or lower than the fair value 
recorded in the financial statements.

Impairment 
In assessing impairment, management 
estimates the recoverable amount of each

asset or cash generating unit based on 
expected future cash flows and, where 
required, uses an interest rate to discount 
them.

Estimation uncertainty relates to 
assumptions about future operating 
results and the determination of a 
suitable discount rate.

Useful lives of depreciable assets 
Management reviews its estimate of the 
useful lives of depreciable assets at each 
reporting date, based on the expected 
useful life of the assets. Uncertainties 
in these estimates relate to technical 
obsolescence that may change the value 
of certain software and IT equipment.

Inventories 
Management estimates the net realisable 
values of inventories, taking into account 
the most reliable evidence available at 
each reporting date. The future realisation 
of these inventories may be affected by 
future technology or other market-driven 
changes that may reduce future selling 
prices.

(b)   Basis of Consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements 
incorporate all of the assets, liabilities 
and results of Zoono Group Limited 
and all subsidiaries as of 30 June 2020. 
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the 
Group has control. The Group controls an 
entity when it 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.

The assets, liabilities and results of 
all subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
into the financial statements of the 
Group from the date on which control is 
obtained by the Group. The consolidation 
of a subsidiary is discontinued from the 
date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances 
and unrealised gains or losses on 
transactions between group entities 
are fully eliminated on consolidation. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed and adjustments made 
where necessary to ensure uniformity of 
the accounting policies adopted by the 
Group.

(c)   Business combinations 
The Group applies the acquisition method 
in accounting for business combinations. 
The consideration transferred by the 
Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is 
calculated as the sum of the acquisition-
date of fair values of assets transferred, 
liabilities incurred and the equity interests 
issued by the Group, which includes 
the fair value of any asset or liability 

arising from a contingent consideration 
arrangement. Acquisition costs are 
expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
in a business combination regardless 
of whether they have been previously 
recognised in the acquiree’s financial 
statements prior to the acquisition. 
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
are generally measured at their 
acquisition-date fair values.

Goodwill is stated after separate 
recognition of identifiable intangible 
assets. It is calculated as the excess of 
the sum of: (a) fair value of consideration 
transferred, (b) the recognised amount 
of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree, and (c) acquisition-date fair 
value of any existing equity interest in 
the acquiree, over the acquisition-date 
fair values of identifiable net assets. If 
the fair values of identifiable net assets 
exceed the sum calculated above, the 
excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain 
purchase) is recognised in profit or loss 
immediately.

(d)   Foreign Currency Transactions  
  and Balances Functional and   
  presentation currency 

The functional currency of each of 
the Group entities is measured using 
the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. 
The consolidated financial statements 
are presented in New Zealand dollars, 
which is the parent entity’s functional and 
presentation currency.

Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are 
translated into functional currency using 
the exchange rates prevailing at the 
date of the transaction. Foreign currency 
monetary items are translated at the year- 
end exchange rate. Non-monetary items 
measured at historical cost continue to 
be carried at the exchange rate at the 
date of the transaction. Non-monetary 
items measured at fair value are reported 
at the exchange rate at the date when fair 
values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the 
translation of monetary items are 
recognised in profit or loss, except where 
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash 
flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the 
translation of non-monetary items 
are recognised directly in other 
comprehensive income to the extent that 
the underlying gain or loss is recognised 
in other comprehensive income; 
otherwise the exchange difference is 
recognised in profit or loss.

Group companies 
The financial results and position of 
foreign operations whose functional 
currency is different from the Group’s 
presentation currency is translated as 
follows: 
•  Assets and liabilities are translated at  
year end exchange rates prevailing at  
that reporting date.

Income and expenses are translated at  

• 
  average exchange rates for the year.

•  Retained earnings/Accumulated  

losses are translated at the exchange  
rates prevailing at the date of the  
transaction.

Exchange differences arising on 
translation of foreign operations with 
functional currencies other than the 
Australian dollar are recognised in other 
comprehensive income and included in 
the foreign currency translation reserve 
in the statement of financial position. The 
cumulative amount of these differences is 
reclassified into profit or loss in the period 
in which the operation is disposed of.

(e)   Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes 
cash on hand, deposits held at call with 
banks and 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.

(f)  Income tax 
The charge for current income tax 
expense is calculated by reference to 
the amount of income taxes payable 
or recoverable in respect of the taxable 
profit or loss for the period. It is 
calculated using the tax rates that have 
been enacted or are substantially enacted 
by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the 
liability method in respect of temporary 
differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts in the financial statements. No 
deferred income tax will be recognised 
from the initial recognition of an asset 
or liability, excluding a business 
combination, where there is no effect on 
accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates 
that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised or liability is 
settled. Deferred tax is charged to the 
statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income except where 
it relates to items that may be credited 
directly to equity, in which case the 
deferred tax is adjusted directly against 
equity.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Deferred income tax assets are 
recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that future tax profits will be 
available against which deductible 
temporary differences can be utilised.

Current tax assets and liabilities are 
offset where a legally enforceable right of 
set-off exists and it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation 
and settlement of the respective asset 
and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are offset where a legally 
enforceable right of set-off exists, the 
deferred tax assets and liabilities relate 
to income taxes levied by the same 
taxation authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities 
where it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement 
of the respective asset and liability 
will occur in future periods in which 
significant amounts of deferred tax assets 
or liabilities are expected to be recovered 
or settled.

The amount of benefits brought to 
account or which may be realised in the 
future is based on the assumption that 
no adverse change will occur in income 
taxation legislation and the anticipation 
that the consolidated entity will derive 
sufficient future assessable income 
to enable the benefit to be realised 
and comply with the conditions of 
deductibility imposed by the law.

(g)   Inventories 
Inventories are measured at the lower 
of cost and net realisable value. The 
cost of manufactured products includes 
direct materials, direct labour and 
an appropriate proportion of variable 
and fixed overheads. Overheads are 
applied on the basis of normal operating 
capacity. Costs are assigned on a first-in, 
first-out basis. Net realisable value is the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business less any applicable 
selling expenses.

(h)   Property, plant and equipment -  

  Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured 
on the cost basis less accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the 
asset’s carrying amount or recognised 
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic 
benefits associated with the item will flow 
to the Group and the cost of the item can 
be measured reliably.

All other repairs and maintenance are 
charged to the profit or loss during 
the financial period in which they are 
incurred. All fixed assets are depreciated 

over their estimated useful lives to the 
Group.

The depreciation rates used for each 
class of depreciable assets are:

CLASS OF  
FIXED ASSET 

DEPRECIATION  

RATE

Plant and equipment 

10 – 33%

Motor vehicles 

30%

Furniture and equipment 

13 – 33%

Computer equipment 

48 – 67 %

Depreciation 
The assets’ residual values and useful 
lives are reviewed, and adjusted if 
appropriate, at each reporting date. An 
asset’s carrying amount is written down 
immediately to its recoverable amount 
if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are 
determined by comparing proceeds with 
the carrying amount. These gains and 
losses are included in the profit or loss 
within other income or expenses.

(i)    Intangible Assets 
Patents, trademarks and website 
development

Patents, trademarks and website 
development are recognised at cost 
of acquisition. They have a finite 
life and are carried at cost less any 
accumulated amortisation and any 
impairment losses. Patents, trademarks 
and website development are amortised 
over their useful lives of up to 10 
years. Amortisation has been included 
within depreciation, amortisation and 
impairment of non-financial assets.

(j)    Impairment of Assets 
At the end of each reporting period, the 
Group assesses whether there is any 
indication that an asset may be impaired. 
The assessment will include considering 
external sources of information and 
internal sources of information including 
dividends received from subsidiaries, 
associates or joint ventures deemed to 
be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such 
an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the 
recoverable amount of the asset, being 
the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs of disposal and value in use, to the 
asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of 
the asset’s carrying amount over its 
recoverable amount is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss, unless the 
asset is carried at a re-valued amount. 
Any impairment loss of a re-valued asset 
is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where it is not possible to estimate 
the recoverable amount of an 
individual asset, the Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset 
belongs. Impairment testing is performed 
annually for goodwill and intangible 
assets with indefinite lives.

(k)   Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 
The Group measures some of its assets 
and liabilities at fair value on either 
a recurring or non- recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the 
applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would 
receive to sell an asset or would have 
to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly 
(i.e. unforced) transaction between 
independent, knowledgeable and willing 
market participants at the measurement 
date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, 
the closest equivalent observable market 
pricing information is used to determine 
fair value. Adjustments to market values 
may be made having regard to the 
characteristics of the specific asset or 
liability. The fair values of assets and 
liabilities that are not traded in an active 
market are determined using one or more 
valuation techniques. These valuation 
techniques maximise, to the extent 
possible, the use of observable market 
data.

To the extent possible, market 
information is extracted from either 
the principal market for the asset or 
liability (i.e. the market with the greatest 
volume and level of activity for the asset 
or liability) or, in the absence of such a 
market, the most advantageous market 
available to the entity at the end of the 
reporting period (i.e. the market that 
maximises the receipts from the sale of 
the asset or minimises the payments 
made to transfer the liability, after taking 
into account transaction costs and 
transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value 
measurement also takes into account 
a market participant’s ability to use the 
asset in its highest and best use or to 
sell it to another market participant that 
would use the asset in its highest and 
best use.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s 
own equity instruments (excluding 
those related to share- based payment 
arrangements) may be valued, where 
there is no observable market price 
in relation to the transfer of such 
financial instruments, by reference to 
observable market information where 
such instruments are held as assets.

Where this information is not available, 
other valuation techniques are adopted 
and, where significant, are detailed 
in the respective note to the financial 
statements.

(l)    Accounts payable 
Trade payables and other accounts 
payable are recognised when the 
Group becomes obliged to make future 
payments resulting from the purchase 
of goods and services. Due to their 
short-term nature they are measured 
at amortised cost and not discounted. 
These amounts are unsecured and are 
usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(m)  Provisions, contingent liabilities  

  and contingent assets 

Provisions for product warranties, legal 
disputes, onerous contracts or other 
claims are recognised when the Group 
has a present legal or constructive 
obligation as a result of a past event, it 
is probable that an outflow of economic 
resources will be required from the Group 
and amounts can be estimated reliably. 
Timing or amount of the outflow may still 
be uncertain.

Restructuring provisions are recognised 
only if a detailed formal plan for the 
restructuring has been developed and 
implemented, or management has at 
least announced the plan’s main features 
to those affected by it. Provisions are not 
recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the estimated 
expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation, based on the most reliable 
evidence available at the reporting date, 
including the risks and uncertainties 
associated with the present obligation. 
Where there are a number of similar 
obligations, the likelihood that an 
outflow will be required in settlement is 
determined by considering the class of 
obligations as a whole. Provisions are 
discounted to their present values, where 
the time value of money is material.

Any reimbursement that the Group can 
be virtually certain to collect from a 
third party with respect to the obligation 
is recognised as a separate asset. 
However, this asset may not exceed the 
amount of the related provision. In those 
cases where the possible outflow of 
economic resources as a result of present 
obligations is considered improbable or 
remote, no liability is recognised.

(n)   Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities 
are recognised when the entity becomes 
a party to the contractual provisions of 
the instrument. For financial assets, this 

is equivalent to the date that the Group 
commits itself to either purchase or sell 
the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is 
adopted).

Financial instruments are initially 
measured at fair value plus transaction 
costs, except where the instrument is 
classified “at fair value through profit or 
loss”, in which case transaction costs are 
recognised as expenses in profit or loss 
immediately.

Classification and subsequent 
measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently 
measured at fair value, amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, or 
cost. Where available, quoted prices in an 
active market are used to determine fair 
value. In other circumstances, valuation 
techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as the 
amount at which the financial asset or 
financial liability is measured at initial 
recognition less principal repayments 
and any reduction for impairment and 
adjusted for any cumulative amortisation 
of the difference between that initial 
amount and the maturity amount 
calculated using the effective interest 
method.

The effective interest method is used 
to allocate interest income or interest 
expense over the relevant period and 
is equivalent to the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash 
payments or receipts (including fees, 
transaction costs and other premiums or 
discounts) through the expected life (or 
when this cannot be reliably predicted, 
the contractual term) of the financial 
instrument to the net carrying amount 
of the financial asset or financial liability. 
Revisions to expected future net cash 
flows will necessitate an adjustment to 
the carrying amount with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense item 
in profit or loss.

(i)    Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative 
financial assets with fixed or determinable 
payments that are not quoted in an active 
market and are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost. Gains or losses are 
recognised in profit or loss through the 
amortisation process and when the 
financial asset is derecognised.

(ii) Financial liabilities 
Non-derivative financial liabilities other 
than financial guarantees are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. Gains or 
losses are recognised in profit or loss 
through the amortisation process and 
when the financial liability is derecognised.

Impairment 
At the end of each reporting period, 
the Group assesses whether there is 
objective evidence that a financial asset 
has been impaired. A financial asset (or a 
group of financial assets) is deemed to be 
impaired if, and only if, there is objective 
evidence of impairment as a result of 
one or more events (a “loss event”) 
having occurred, which has an impact 
on the estimated future cash flows of the 
financial asset(s).

In the case of financial assets carried at 
amortised cost, loss events may include: 
indications that the debtors (or a group 
of debtors) are experiencing significant 
financial difficulty, default or delinquency 
in interest or principal payments; 
indications that they will enter bankruptcy 
or other financial reorganisation; 
and changes in arrears or economic 
conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised 
cost (including loans and receivables), a 
separate allowance account is used to 
reduce the carrying amount of financial 
assets impaired by credit losses. After 
having taken all possible measures of 
recovery, if management establishes that 
the carrying amount cannot be recovered 
by any means, at that point the written-
off amounts are charged to the allowance 
account, or the carrying amount of 
impaired financial assets is reduced 
directly if no impairment amount was 
previously recognised in the allowance 
account.

When the terms of financial assets that 
would otherwise have been past due 
or impaired have been renegotiated, 
the Group recognises the impairment 
for such financial assets by taking into 
account the original terms as if the terms 
have not been renegotiated so that the 
loss events that have occurred are duly 
considered.

De-recognition 
Financial assets are derecognised when 
the contractual rights to receipt of cash 
flows expire or the asset is transferred 
to another party whereby the entity no 
longer has any significant continuing 
involvement in the risks and benefits 
associated with the asset. Financial 
liabilities are derecognised when the 
related obligations are discharged, 
cancelled or have expired. The difference 
between the carrying amount of 
the financial liability extinguished or 
transferred to another party and the fair 
value of consideration paid, including the 
transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

 
 
 
 
 
 
(o)   Receivables 
Trade receivable are initially recognised 
at fair value and subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the affective 
interest method, less any allowance for 
impairment.

(p)   Employee Benefits 
Short-term employee benefits 
Provision is made for the Group’s 
obligation for short-term employee 
benefits. Short-term employee benefits 
are benefits (other than termination 
benefits) that are expected to be settled 
wholly before 12 months after the end of 
the annual reporting period in which the 
employees render the related service, 
including wages, salaries and sick 
leave. Short-term employee benefits are 
measured at the (undiscounted) amounts 
expected to be paid when the obligation 
is settled.

The Group’s obligations for short-term 
employee benefits such as wages, 
salaries and sick leave are recognised as 
part of current trade and other payables 
in the statement of financial position.

(q)   Share-based payments 
The cost to the Company of share 
options granted to directors and 
executive officers is included at fair value 
as part of the directors’ and executive 
officers’ aggregate remuneration in the 
financial year the options are granted. 
The fair value of the share option are 
calculated using the Black Scholes option 
pricing model, which takes into account 
the exercise price, the term of the option, 
the vesting and performance criteria, 
the impact of dilution, the non-tradable 
nature of the option, the current price and 
expected price volatility of the underlying 
share, the expected dividend yield and 
the risk- free interest rate for the term of 
the option.

The fair value determined at the grant 
date of the equity settled share-based 
payment is expensed on a straight-line 
basis over the vesting period.

(r)   Revenue 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of 
the consideration received or receivable 
after taking into account any trade 
discounts and volume rebates allowed. 
Any consideration deferred is treated as 
the provision of finance and is discounted 
at a rate of interest that is generally 
accepted in the market for similar 
arrangements. The difference between 
the amount initially recognised and the 
amount ultimately received is interest 
revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is 
recognised at the point of delivery as this 

corresponds to the transfer of significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of 
the goods and the cessation of all 
involvement by the Group in those goods.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of 
goods and services tax.

Other income 
Interest revenue is recognised using 
the effective interest method, which for 
floating rate financial assets is the rate 
inherent in the instrument.

Dividend revenue is recognised when 
the right to receive a dividend has been 
established.

Realised gains and losses on sale are 
recognised as income or expense 
respectively in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income and 
are calculated as the difference between 
consideration on sale and the original 
cost.

(s)   Goods and services tax (GST) 
The Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income has been 
prepared so that all components are 
stated exclusive of GST, except where the 
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable

from the tax office. All items in the 
Statement of Financial Position are stated 
exclusive of GST, with the exception of 
receivables and payables, which include 
GST.

(t)    Earnings per share 
i) Basic earnings per share: 
Basic earnings per share is determined 
by dividing the operating profit/(loss) after 
income tax excluding any cost of servicing 
equity other than ordinary shares by the 
weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial 
year.

ii) Diluted earnings per share: 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the 
figures used in determining earnings per 
share by taking into account amounts 
unpaid on ordinary shares and any 
reduction in earnings per share that will 
probably arise from the exercise of options 
outstanding during the financial year.

(u)   Segment reporting 
Segment revenues and expenses 
are those directly attributable to the 
segments and include any joint revenue 
and expenses where a reasonable basis 
of allocation exists. Segment assets 
include all assets used by a segment and 
consist principally of cash, receivables, 
inventories, intangibles and property, 
plant and equipment, net of allowances 
and accumulated depreciation and 
amortisation. Segment liabilities consist 
principally of payables, employee

benefits, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings. The Group do not allocate 
revenues, assets or liabilities to individual segments.

(v) Leases  
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. 
If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is 
recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are 
classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months 
or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still 
to be paid at commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest 
rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the 
incremental borrowing rate.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding 
lease liability as mentioned above, any lease payments made at or before 
the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent 
measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying 
asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying 
asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to 
exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the 
underlying asset.

(w)   Comparative information 
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified to be comparable with the 
figures presented for the financial year.

Subject to the provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act, if the Group derives 
assessable income it will be able to utilise carry-forward losses. The Group has losses 
available to be carried forward of NZ$1,428,365 to 30 June 2020.

The net deferred tax asset will only be obtained if:

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount  
sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss to be  
realised;

the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility  
imposed by law; and

no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the  
benefit from the deduction of the loss.

Consequently, there is a balance of deferred tax asset that has not been recognised.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit 
losses, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade 
receivables.

The following table details the loss allowance as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019. 

As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different 
loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance 
based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different 
customer bases.

Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to participate in dividends when declared 
and are entitled to one vote per share, either in person or by proxy, at shareholder 
meetings. In the event of winding up of the Company, ordinary shareholders are 
ranked after all other creditors and are entitled to any proceeds of liquidation in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount 
of authorised capital.

(b) Movement in issued share options during the year:

On 16 December 2019, Zoono granted senior management and staff 2,000,000 
options, vesting on 16 December 2020, exercisable at A$0.25 and expiring on 16 
December 2023.

(c) Uncalled capital:

No calls are outstanding at year end. All issued shares are fully paid.

(d) Capital management:

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a reasonable debt 
to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the 
Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group currently has no debt funding available or external capital requirement. 
The Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital share options and reserves. The 
financial liabilities are supported by financial assets.

Management effectively manages the Group capital by assessing the Group’s 
financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks 
and in the market. These responses include the management of share issues. The 
Group strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

Employee share option scheme 
Zoono’s Employee Securities Plan was adopted by the Company on 7 November 
2019 as a long-term incentive scheme to recognise talent, retain and motivate 
employees to strive for Group performance. All employees are entitled to participate 
in the Share Securities Plan. In 2019, employees and consultants who have been with 
the Group for more than one year were invited to receive options which vest in 1 year, 
provided the recipient is still employed by the Company. The options were issued 
for no consideration with an exercise price of A$0.25.  They carry no entitlements 
to voting rights or dividends of the Group. The number available to be granted is 
determined by the Board, based on retention, performance measures including 
growth in shareholder return, return on equity, cash earnings and Group earnings per 
share growth.

Option granted to employees of the Company: 
On 16 December 2019, Zoono granted senior management and staff 2,000,000 
options, vesting on 16 December 2020, exercisable at A$0.25 and expiring 16 
December 2023.

The Consolidated Group has 2,000,000 share options on issue during the year

20.   ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY 
Zoono and its products are subject to various laws and regulations including but 
not limited to accounting standards, tax laws, environmental laws, product content 
requirement, labelling/packaging, regulations and customs regulations. Changes in 
these laws and regulations (including interpretation and enforcement) could adversely 
affect the Group’s financial performance. Laws and regulations are specific to each 
geographic location. In this regard, there is a risk that a certain product may not be 
able to be supplied in another jurisdiction because it fails to meet that jurisdictions 
regulatory requirements (e.g. product registration requirements). Failure of the Group 
to remain up to date with these various regulatory requirements, could adversely 
affect the Group financial performance.

21.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 
The directors are aware of a claim against the Company as at the date to which these 
financial statements are made up as follows;

Qingdao Zoono Biotech Company Limited instigated legal proceedings against Zoono 
on 20 May 2019 citing breach of contract under a distribution agreement entered into 
on 29 May 2013.  Zoono lodged a counter claim which stated; Qingdao breached 
the distribution agreement by not meeting the minimum annual volumes under the 
agreement and making disparaging comments about Zoono and its products. The 
Group’s insurers have accepted the claim against Paul Hyslop but will only meet 50% 
of the claim against the Company, less any insurance excess payable.

The Company took the plaintiff to Court and were awarded costs and the plaintiff was 
ordered to pay costs and has failed to do so.

The Directors do not believe the outcome of the proceedings will have a material 
effect on the financial statements as Zoono’s counter claim exceeds Qingdao’s claim.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
22.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

28.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management policies

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of current accounts with banks, 
accounts receivable and payable.

i. Treasury risk management 
  Management considers on a regular basis the financial risk exposure and evaluates  
  treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic  
  conditions and forecasts.

  The overall risk management strategy seeks to meet the Group’s financial targets,  
  whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.

  Management operates under policies approved by the board of directors which  
  approves and reviews risk management policies on a regular basis. These include  
  future cash flow requirements.

ii.  Financial risk exposures and management 
  The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest  
  rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk.

(a) 

Foreign currency risk exposure

Most of the Group’s transactions are carried out in US Dollars ($USD), New Zealand 
Dollars ($NZD), Australian Dollars ($AUD) and British Pound (GBP). Exposures to 
currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas sales and purchases, which 
are primarily denominated in US Dollars ($USD), Australian Dollars ($AUD) and British 
Pound (GBP). The Group also holds a bank account in $USD, $AUD and GBP. 

(b) 

Interest rate risk exposure

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through cash and deposits held. The 
Group continually monitors interest rates and financial markets for the Group’s cash 
on deposit and regularly reviews future cash flow requirements. The following table 
summarises the interest rate risk for the Group, together with the effective weighted 
average interest rate for each class of financial assets and liabilities.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other 
security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net 
of any provision for impaired receivables, as disclosed in the statement of financial 
position and notes to the financial statements.

42

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or 
group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Receivables due from major debtors are not normally secured by collateral, however 
the credit worthiness of debtors is monitored. 

(d) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows to ensure that 
adequate funding is maintained. The Group’s financial liabilities consist of trade and 
other payables in the normal course of business and as such are normally due for 
payment within 30 days of receipt of a valid tax invoice. The Group does not have any 
liquidity risk associated with any borrowing.

(e) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk on cash and short-term deposits is not considered to be a material 
risk due to the short- term nature of these financial instruments.

significance in our audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020. 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.

REPORT

ZOONO GROUP LIMITED ABN 73 006 645 754 
  AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE OWNERS OF 
ZOONO GROUP LIMITED 

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. 

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

– 

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

–  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

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

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

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

–  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including 
the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions 
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

–  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the 
entities  or  business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial 
report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group 
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

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

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

  AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE OWNERS OF 
ZOONO GROUP LIMITED 

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

Report on the Remuneration Report

Appointed distributors:  
APIAM Animal Health, ASX listed 
company and APIAM Solutions Inc, US 
registered company.

APIAM Animal Health have various global 
territories under their sub - distribution 
agreement including Australia, United 
States, Canada and Vietnam. APIAM 
Animal Health also own APIAM Solutions 
Inc in the US which commands no less 
than 60% of The State of IOWA swine 
production market providing veterinary 
services across the state. IOWA provides 
no less than 60% of the total US swine 
market.

The APIAM partnership is providing 
access to over 2,500 veterinary doctors 
and their clients as well as a sales team 
through procurement of over 3,000 
mobile sales representatives. 

Our distributors in Portugal and Hungary 
are collectively establishing a customer 
base in Iberia and Eastern Europe. We are 
encouraged by the interest particularly 
for the poultry sector in Portugal, Spain, 
Hungary, Romania and Czech Republic. 

It is without question the Covid pandemic 
has slowed progress, without the ability 
to travel and with the impact on livestock 
production globally we have lost ground. 
Fortunately, we spent 2019 establishing 
key distributors in Europe, US and 
Australia in particular, we also carried out 
suffient credible field studies to provide 
the confidence for these distributors 
to make inroads albeit slower than 
anticipated into the target markets.

Zoono Animal Health has exceeded its 
first volume performance milestone after 
18 months and expect growth to increase 
significantly as registrations and particular 
viral studies become available.

Please visit our website  
www.zoonoanimalhealth.com  
for more information.

Being appointed as the exclusive animal 
health distributor for Zoono products in 
February 2019 provided the opportunity 
to invest and develop intellectual property 
in various animal markets by way of 
specific biological data against various 
strains of microbes that significantly 
impact in particular the livestock 
production markets. It also provided the 
opportunity to engage creditable sub – 
distributors in various  global markets 
to develop the intellectual property and 
grow the distribution of the technology.

Registration of the products in each 
country is a process in its own right 
has presented challenges and delays, 
together with the basic product 
registration we have commissioned a 
range of microbial studies in each country 
to allow claims to be made on product 
labelling and marketing.

We anticipate the registrations in priority 
regions to be completed over the 
next 6 months with viral studies being 
completed by December 2020, this will 
significantly expand our sales market 
particularly in the US and Europe.   

As a result, the following has been 
achieved in the past 18 months.

Completed field studies on poultry and 
swine farms in New Zealand, Australia, 
US, Portugal and Hungary providing solid 
data proving the effectiveness of Zoono’s 
Z-71 in livestock production facilities. 
These studies have proven without 
doubt the Zoono technology lowers the 
microbial levels within the animal growing 
facilities for sustained periods of time 
which in turn provides healthier animals 
that eat less food and gain more weight 
and reduces mortality.
