Dear Shareholders,
We hereby present the review of operations and Annual Report for Harris Technology Group Limited for
the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
The Directors are disappointed with the loss returned for the year but encouraged by its reduction from
the prior year and improving margins from the move into refurbished tech products and home products.
The company continues to see slow demand for IT products which are impacted by difficult trading
conditions within the macroeconomic environment but the move into refurbished tech is gaining traction
and success.
Sales decline
The Company experienced a 31% decrease in year on year sales to $16.7M. (2023: $24.2M) with all our
key marketplaces experiencing similar trends. The Company continues to expand its presence on new
and emerging platforms as well as progressively enhancing its own website and growing traffic for
refurbished technology across all marketplaces.
Amazon continues to be a key channel for Harris Technology with our position and rating continuing to
be excellent .
The reduction of the trading loss for the year is encouraging and contained by the progress made in
moving to higher margin categories, with operating cash flow stable as a result of strong working capital
management.
Inventory and working capital levels have been reduced year-on-year and we are confident that the
company is able to meet its expected working capital requirements in the next financial year.
Conclusion
We believe the company is well positioned to benefit from the continued adoption of online shopping
and with higher margin categories in our portfolio and improvement in the economic sentiment, Harris
Technology will again return to strong financial performance.
Sincerely,
Balance Sheet
30 Jun 24 30 Jun 23
($m) ($m)
Based on the cash position at end of FY24 and as a result of a stringent budgeting process as well as
the review of underperforming products, together with the continuing facility support of the CEO,
the Company believes it is in a position to meet its working capital requirements throughout FY25

2. Remuneration governance
Remuneration Policy
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To be
successful, the Group must attract, motivate, and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To
this end, the Group seeks to provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives. The
Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount
of remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and other Key Management
Personnel on a periodic basis. In doing so, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has
reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team. A
recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is presented to the Board of
Directors for adoption and approval. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee functions are
currently being performed by the entire Board.
The Group has a policy in place to prohibit Directors and executives from entering into equity
hedging arrangements to protect the value of unvested options.
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive and executive
remuneration is separate and distinct.
The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their
position and responsibilities within the Group so as to:
Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and
Currently remuneration is paid in the form of salaries & fees, superannuation contributions and
shares where applicable.
The Group’s constitution provides that the total amount of remuneration provided to all non-
executive Directors must not exceed $500,000.
Details of remuneration received by key management personnel of the Group for the current

group.
Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the
financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the
auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard
of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 29 to the consolidated financial
statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
● all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact
the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
● none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own
work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as
advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been
rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in
certain cases, the nearest dollar.
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations
Act 2001 is set out immediately after this director’s report.
Alan Sparks-Chairman
29th August 2024
As lead auditor, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, during the year ended 30 June 2024
there have been:
i. no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 in
relation to the audit, and
ii. no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The consolidated financial report of Harris Technology Group Limited (the Company or Harris Technology
Group) and controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2024 was authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28th August 2024.
Harris Technology Group is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly
traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Basis of preparation
These general-purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (AASB), and the Company’s Constitution. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in
financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions.
The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Standards Board.
The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and
are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-
current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
The functional currency of the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the entity’s
functional and presentation currency and is rounded to the nearest dollar.
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current
year disclosures.
Accounting policies
As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the Group made a loss of $1,406,794 (2023: loss of
$3,303,673) and had net cash inflow from operating activities of $13,678 (2023: net cash inflows of $485,516)
for the year ended 30 June 2024. These conditions indicate a significant or material uncertainty about the
consolidated Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as
a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
The CEO, Mr Garrion Huang has committed a total facility of $4 million, of which 1.73 million has
been utilised as at year end. The facility is valid for 12 months from the date of signing of these
financial statements;
The Group has prepared budgets and cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months from the date of this
report which indicate the Group will have a positive cash balance during this year;
The Group is managing its cash flow and negotiating with creditors as needed;
Raising additional working capital through the issue of debt or equity securities and/or other funding.
This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be incurred should the
consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at
30 June 2024. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities,
income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive Income from the date the Group gains control until the
date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting
policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained
earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to
be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a
customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in
the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable
consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance
obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be
delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner
that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such
as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other
contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value‘' or 'most likely ’mount'
method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue
will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty
associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the
constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the
goods. Dependent on the terms of the specific contract the transfer of control occurs either upon despatch or
upon delivery.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
The financial statements of each entity are measured using its functional currency, which is the currency of the
primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, as this is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the Group are translated into functional currency at the
rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising
under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are
translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year.
Resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are recognised as revenues and expenses
for the financial year.
Group companies
The financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s
presentation currency are translated as follows:
Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year; and
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign
currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity in the reserve account.
Current income tax expense is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income. This is based on the
applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised
in relation to temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in
a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either
accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary differences and unused tax losses only when it is probable
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised
directly in equity.
Tax consolidation
Harris Technology Group Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated
group under tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Harris Technology Group Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group
continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the group
allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to
members of the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as
amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding
agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly owned tax consolidated entities.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense item as applicable.
Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of
three months or less held at call with financial institutions and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash and cash equivalents also include amounts collected in respect of online sales during the year by agents
on behalf of the Group where clear title of ownership exists.
Trade receivables are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are
generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based
on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the latest purchase price
method, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Inventories are recorded at weighted
average cost basis.
This valuation requires the Group to make judgements, based on currently available information, about the
likely method of disposition and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
Volume rebates in relation to purchases are recognised in cost of sales when credited by the supplier.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost
necessary to make the sale.
Other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which
the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-
use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate
specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent
cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and / or any accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment annually by the Directors for events
or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication
exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to
their recoverable amount.
Depreciation
The depreciable amounts of fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
In the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are determined by reference to comparable owned
assets or over the term of the lease, if shorter.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. The
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If such an indication
exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being
the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of
the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of profit and
loss and other comprehensive income, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in which case the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
(l) Right-of-use-assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of
the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use
assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any re measurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are
expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Classification
The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: loans and receivables and financial
liabilities. The classification of investments depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.
Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans from third parties including
inter-company balances and loans from or other amounts due to director-related entities.
The Group’s financial liabilities are recognised at fair value and carried at amortised cost, comprising original
debt less principal payments and amortisation.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short term nature they are measured at amortised cost and
are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition.
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at
the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest
rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of
a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated
termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in
the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a
rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a
lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss
if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the
most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the
present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be
required at settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to
the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the
rates paid or payable. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments
to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit
credit method. Consideration is given to expect future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the
reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.
The Group provides benefits to the directors, senior executives and the employees in the form of share
options/performance rights under Harris Technology Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan. These are equity
settled transactions under Australian Accounting Standards.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with directors and senior executives is measured by reference to
the fair value of the equity instruments at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation
model. The cost is recognised together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserve in equity over
the period in which the performance and / or service conditions are fulfilled.
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date
reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of
equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The charge to the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the year is
the cumulative amount as calculated less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a
corresponding entry to equity.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions for
which vesting are conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective
of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and /
or service conditions are satisfied.
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
element.
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standard Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
There were no standards adopted in the current period that had a material impact on the Group.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early
adopted.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
AASB 18 - This Standard will replace AASB 101 ( Presentation of Financial Statements ) and will improve how
entities communicate in their financial statements, with a particular focus on information about financial
performance in the statement of profit or loss. There are also limited changes to the presentation of the
statement of financial position and the statement of cash flow. The key presentation and disclosure
requirements established by AASB 18 are:
These new requirements will enable investors and other financial statement users to make more informed
decisions, including better allocations of capital, that will contribute to long-term financial stability. (Effective
for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate risk in accordance with the
Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s
financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and
liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is
exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk and assessments of market forecasts
for interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to hedge exposure to exchange rate
risk associated with foreign currency transactions. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances
are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling
cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews
and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for interest
rate risk, hedging limits, credit allowances and future cash flow forecast projections.
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s financial
assets at floating interest rates and debt obligations with a fixed interest rate. At reporting date, the Group had
the following financial instruments exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk.
2024 2023
$ $
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents (non-interest bearing) 974,318 1,766,018
Financial liabilities
Interest bearing liabilities – fixed rate (current) (1,728,447) (2,250,918)
Net exposure (754,129) (484,901)
To minimise the exposure to credit risk for financial liabilities, the Group entered into a fixed rate contract for
the finance facility. Accordingly, the financial liabilities are assessed as having a low credit risk.
The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential
renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade
and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty,
with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is
addressed in each applicable note.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are assessed as to creditworthiness,
including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry
reputation. Risk limits are set for individual customers.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount,
net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial
position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss
allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using
fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of
the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is
available.
The Group’s exposure to currency risk is minimal at this stage of its operations.
Liquidity risk
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of
private equity facility and equity raisings.
As at 30 June 2024, 22% of the Group’s financial liabilities will mature in less than one year (2023: 78%).
The table below reflects all contractually fixed payables and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest
resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The respective undiscounted cash flows for the
respective upcoming fiscal periods are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed
amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2024.

Financial liabilities
Management’s expectation reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. The Group’s assets mainly
consist of cash and trade receivables with the liabilities consisting of trade payables from the ongoing
operations of the business. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to enable an effective
controlling of funding for the business, the Group has established risk that reflects expectations of
management in terms of expected settlement of financial assets and liabilities.
All financial assets and most liabilities are payable within 12 months of reporting date. Accordingly, the book
value of each liability is equivalent to its fair value.
The liabilities due after 12 months are loans with fixed interest rate. The carrying values of these loans are
equivalent to their fair value.
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,
which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
Revenue recognition
The Directors have utilised judgement in determining the point of transfer of control to customers under each
revenue contact. Judgment is required as there are multiple criteria to be assessed when determining the point
of transfer of control of goods to customers.
The Directors have utilised judgement in determining whether sufficient future taxable profits are probable
against which to offset unutilised tax losses and temporary differences.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on
parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and
assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances
arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Inventory provisions are recognised for slow-moving and unsalable inventory and are reviewed on a regular
basis. In determining inventory provisions, the Group reviews the aging and the category of the inventory in
order to make appropriate provisions to reflect the slow-moving risk of the inventory. Categories are
determined based on stock turnover rates. Progressively higher provisions are applied as inventory turnover
rates decrease. This methodology is significantly affected by the forecasted needs for inventory
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based
on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, assumptions include recent sales
experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-
looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses is disclosed in note 12.
Volume rebates
Volume rebates in relation to purchases are recognised in cost of sales when the corresponding inventory is
sold. Estimation is required with respect to which inventory items volume rebates are allocated to in
determining the cost of sales.
Guarantees entered into by the parent entity in relation to the debts of its subsidiaries.
The parent entity and some of its subsidiaries are party to a deed of cross guarantee under which each company
guarantees the debts of the others. No deficiencies of assets exist in any of these subsidiaries.
The accounting policies of the parent entity are consistent with those of the consolidated entity, as disclosed
in note 2, except for the following:
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity.
Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised as other income by the parent entity and its
receipt may be an indicator of an impairment of the investment.
The parent entity has no capital commitments for property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2024 (2024:
Nil).

The Directors have determined it is not probable there is sufficient future taxable profits against which to offset

Not recognised any deferred tax asset on losses incurred during the year.
The assessment of the probability of sufficient future taxable profits will be re-assessed at each reporting date.
The total sum of losses not recognised for a deferred tax asset at 30 June 2024 is $7,550,019

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus
the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per
share:
2024 2023
As at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 the issue of potential ordinary shares was assessed to be non-dilutive
and consequently diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

receivables impaired.
Impaired receivables At balance date, other than debtors that have been provided for as a doubtful
from the prior year, no other receivables have been determined to be
impaired.
Credit risk The Group has no significant credit risks identified at 30 June 2024. The sales
of goods receivable balances outstanding are within the terms of the
customer agreements and are considered to be of high credit quality.
