CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

On behalf of the Board of Ambertech I am pleased to present you with your Annual Report for 2023, a year that has been significant in the ongoing transformation of our business. With continued commitment to our strategic vision, we have navigated through challenges whilst capitalising on market opportunities and positioning Ambertech for a prosperous future.

In the face of a dynamic economic backdrop and shifting market landscapes, our business has demonstrated resilience and agility. I am delighted to report that our financial position remained strong throughout the year. Revenues increased to $84.2m, an increase of 9.4% over the prior year, which was a pleasing result.

It is important to note that this was accompanied by an increase in costs as we expanded our capabilities, enhanced our infrastructure, increased our market presence, and solidified our workforce to position ourselves for future growth. These strategic investments were essential in bolstering our competitive edge and ensuring that we are well prepared to take advantage of future opportunities.

Dividends to shareholders relating to the financial year totaled 1.5 cents per share fully franked. With that, the Board maintained its target payout ratio of a minimum of 50% of the reported net profit after tax. At this point in time, it remains the intent of the Board to continue this target payout.

In conclusion, I extend my deepest gratitude to our shareholders, employees, customers, and partners for their support and trust. Together, we have laid a strong foundation for future growth and success. I am excited about the journey that lies ahead and confident in our collective ability to achieve our shared vision.

On behalf of the Board of Ambertech Limited

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND UPDATE

In recent years the team at Ambertech has been focused on consolidating the financial position of the business, completing the strategy that had been put in place to turn around the results after a few tough financial years. The key to this strategy has been to focus the business in areas where we can leverage our full-service distribution model. We don’t just shift boxes, we are highly respected for our ability to source innovative product, design custom solutions, provide engineering support, market brands, and support our dealer network post sale.

In executing that strategy, the business undertook and has integrated four acquisitions, each designed to significantly add to our existing business units. The addition and integration of these acquisitions successfully increased the scale our business required adding prestigious brands, quality personnel and leveraging the infrastructure investment that had already been made in the Ambertech business.

The 2023 financial year was somewhat of a transitional year as we embark on a new growth strategy for the business. It was pleasing that we were able to maintain our growth trajectory, but the real key to future success has been the investment in face-to-face interactions with key stakeholders during the year.

By engaging in trade shows and industry conferences we have been able to strengthen business relationships and explore new business collaborations. Through targeted campaigns, business development activities, and product roadshows we have been able to position our business as a supplier of choice. By investing in our people, we have been able to provide establish a competitive advantage and foster a motivated and engaged workforce.

By making these investments, we are well positioned to drive revenue growth and maximise shareholder value. There remains significant opportunity for the business to grow with our existing brand portfolio. As international suppliers continue to consolidate through merger and acquisition, or expand their offering across various markets, the ability of our business to operate in multiple market segments becomes a genuine strength.

Our brand portfolio is often sold across multiple markets in which Ambertech operates. This remains a strong competitive advantage over many of our competitors who are more narrowly focused.

The history of this business is one that began in the professional and broadcast (media systems) areas, but we have evolved as the technology of our supply partners and the solutions required by our customers have changed over the last 36 years.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND UPDATE (CONT)

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

The operations team has been very busy during the year with several projects that are critical to our business strategy. The upgrade of our Pronto ERP system is allowing us to improve the quality of access to and timeliness of business reporting for critical business decisions. We expect to see greater collaboration, superior business intelligence and enhanced productivity and decision making as we continue to leverage this investment.

We also moved our team in Victoria to new premises during the year. Historically a sales-based team, in recent times we have added brand management and business development resources to the team. The new facility is cost competitive to the arrangement that predated it, whilst establishing an additional base for product demonstration and training for our dealers located in this area.

Additionally, one of our General Managers, Richard Neale, retired during the financial year. Richard remains a strong supporter of Ambertech and was instrumental in the selection and induction of his successor Nathan Brady, providing us with an appropriate transition period in which we were able to ensure business continuity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are conscious of the growing emphasis on sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in Corporate Governance. We are a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), reflecting our commitment to sustainable packaging practices and environmental responsibility.

We are proud to represent brands such as Universal Electronics in Australia and New Zealand with their One For All brand. As a major global manufacturer of remote controls their commitment to creating a more sustainable future is highlighted in product design and packaging innovations that we challenge all our suppliers to match.

Post year end we have also undertaken a review of Board diversity and business wide succession planning. The management team are excited to see what new skills, perspectives and ideas Janine Rolfe can bring to the decision-making process of the business and we welcome her to the business. We also thank David Swift for his many years of guidance to the organisation.

We continue to look to grow and better inform our shareholder base. To assist with providing clarity around our strategy, we have recently engaged investor relations professionals. We hope that this will lead to a greater understanding of our competitive advantage, and of our investment narrative for all types of market investors.

STRATEGY

One of the main keys to the future success of Ambertech is the ability to achieve growth without a decline in focus. As an independent value add distributor of international brands, we are very conscious that each of these brands needs to see the focus of the brand owner themselves. We have developed a structure that can continue to support our growth ambitions in this way.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND UPDATE (CONT)

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Much of our strategy centers on the importance of representing brands with clear positioning and differentiation. We often conduct brand reviews and work collaboratively with our partners to ensure success in the market.

We regularly identify brands outside of our portfolio which are market leaders or have significant market potential. This is where we focus our business development activities, and adding these brands may come through acquisition of a business, by presenting ourselves as an alternative to current distribution arrangements, or by finding new technologies from emerging companies around the world. Prioritising opportunities in the current market environment is also important, and we have a clear and disciplined M&A strategy that targets adding further scale to our business in a sustainable manner.

We are currently evaluating opportunities across several of our market segments and in aligned markets that we can successfully address.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The first half of the new financial year began with a major highlight for the business as we were awarded the contract for the supply of Solid State Logic audio consoles to the Sydney Opera House. The range of console models deployed signifies a significant upgrade to the venues within the Sydney Opera House in its 50th year of operation and is being supplied across the first half of the financial year and is valued at approximately $3.0m.

The Network 10 news and production systems contract continues to see milestones with around $4.0m in revenue expected during this financial year. Revenue for this contract will continue to flow in coming years via a multi-year subscription and support services contract.

Completion of several Defence industry supplies of Silvus radios has also boosted trading during this period and we continue to see major ongoing opportunities in this market. We are also confident in our offering in the Emergency Services space.

With a strong and dedicated team in place we are confident in our business strategy. We want to thank each of them for their contributions this year, and we know their focus will lead to success in the future.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The consolidated profit of the economic entity after providing for income tax for the financial year was $1,930,000 (2022: $3,681,000). The reduction in profit from the prior year is essentially a result of the investment in a growth plan for the future of the business, with the increased spend on marketing, employment costs and travel expected to provide economic benefit to the business in future periods. Total revenues for the financial year increased by 9.4% to $84,226,000 (2022: $76,997,000).

Further information on the operations, including the success of the acquisition during the reporting period, is included in the Chairman's and Managing Director's Report section of the Annual Report, and in the ASX Appendix 4E.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The directors believe the economic entity is in a reasonably strong and stable financial position with the potential to expand and grow its current operations. At 30 June 2023 the economic entity had kept its working capital and net tangible asset ratios steady, whilst continuing to show positive operating cash flow during the financial year.

The economic entity's working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, decreased by $1,082,000 to $19,683,000 as at 30 June 2023 (2022: $20,765,000). The net assets of the economic entity have increased by $186,000 to $22,460,000 as at 30 June 2023 (2022: $22,274,000).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

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

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

The material risks faced by the economic entity that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects off the economic entity are outlined below:

Market and Industry Risks:

Market Competition: Ambertech operates in a competitive distribution industry, which could lead to price pressures, reduced margins, and loss of market share.

Technological Disruption: Technological advancements could render existing distribution methods and systems obsolete, affecting our ability to meet customer demands and preferences.

Economic Conditions: Fluctuations in economic conditions, such as recessions or economic downturns, could impact consumer spending, leading to reduced demand for our products in certain markets.

Supply Chain and Operational Risks:

Supply Disruptions: Interruptions in our supply chain, including transportation delays, production issues, or raw material shortages, could result in inventory shortages and impact our ability to fulfill orders.

Regulatory Compliance: Non-compliance with regulatory requirements, such as import/export regulations or safety standards, could lead to fines, legal liabilities, and reputational damage.

Financial Risks:

Credit and Counterparty Risk: Exposure to credit risk from customers or suppliers facing financial difficulties could result in bad debts or supply disruptions.

Currency Fluctuations: Ambertech sources from multiple regions, exposing us to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that could impact revenue and profitability.

Legal and Regulatory Risks:

Data Security and Privacy : Breaches in data security and privacy could lead to legal actions, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

On 31 July 2023, the economic entity entered into an agreement with Octet finance Pty Ltd in relation to extending its finance facilities for a further 12 months. The facilities include an invoice discounting facility with approval up to $12,000,000 and a business transaction facility with a limit of $2,000,000.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 DIRECTORS’ REPORT

There were no other matters that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations or state of affairs of the economic entity in future financial years.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The 2023-24 financial year has begun well, and as a result the Board of Ambertech Limited ("the Board") is optimistic that it can deliver on business strategies, which continue to focus on growth and returning positive results for investors in the short term. At this early stage the Board is unable to provide guidance on potential results with any certainty; however expects to be able to update investors by the time of holding the company's AGM.

The board and management remain focused on utilising the traditional strengths of the Ambertech business as a technical distributor to bring new products and brands to market and to redefine the methods and channels in which the business operates. We are continuing to progress these initiatives which are the key drivers of future revenue and profit growth.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The company is subject to regulation by the relevant Commonwealth and State legislation. The nature of the company's business does not give rise to any significant environmental issues.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The information provided below includes remuneration disclosures that are required under the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. The disclosures contained within the remuneration report have been audited.

In recent years the remuneration policy of the company has had to take into account competing interests. On one hand, shareholder returns are inadequate, while Directors, faced with their responsibilities to the Company, need to retain an experienced, expert Board and executive management team. Directors are aware that these staff may have opportunities to pursue their careers in less challenging environments with prospects of greater remuneration.

For the 2023 financial year, staff remuneration increases were on average consistent with increases in the cost of living, except where roles and responsibilities changed.

Remuneration Strategy

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Remuneration of non-executive directors is determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In determining payments to non-executive directors, consideration is given to market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews the remuneration of non-executive directors annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability.

Remuneration of non-executive directors comprises fees determined having regard to industry practice and the need to obtain appropriately qualified independent persons. Fees do not contain any non-monetary elements. Until recently the financial performance of the company had not justified an increase to the remuneration of non-executive directors.

Executive Remuneration

Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer

Remuneration of the Managing Director and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) is determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In this respect, consideration is given to normal commercial rates of remuneration for similar levels of responsibility. Remuneration comprises salaries, bonuses, contributions to superannuation funds and options.

The Managing Director and COO receive an incentive element of their salary which is based on achievement of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) relevant to their responsibilities. This includes a component that is based on the company's profit targets. The total incentive amounts payable are capped at a fixed rate rather than as a percentage of total remuneration, however if paid on target these incentives would have represented approximately 24% of total salary for the Managing Director and 21% of total salary for the COO.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

KPIs are set annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and based on company performance targets and vary according to the roles and responsibilities of the executive. At the same time, these KPIs are aligned to reflect the common corporate goals such as growth in earnings and shareholders' wealth, and achievement of working capital targets. Performance against the KPIs is assessed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and recommendations for payments determined following the end of the financial year.

Other Executives

Remuneration of other key executives is set by the Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, with reference to guidelines set by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In this respect, consideration is given to normal commercial rates of remuneration for similar levels of responsibility. Remuneration comprises salaries, bonuses, contributions to superannuation funds and options.

Approximately 5% of the aggregate remuneration of the senior sales executives comprises an incentive element which is related to the KPIs of those parts of the company's operations which are relevant to the executive's responsibilities. The senior sales executives may also receive a sales commission component, which will vary with the sales performance of those parts of the sales business for which they are responsible.

KPIs are set annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, with a degree of consultation with executives to ensure their commitment. The measures are tailored to the areas of each executive's involvement and over which they have control.

They are based on company performance targets, and at the same time, these KPIs are aligned to reflect the common corporate goals such as growth in earnings and shareholders' wealth, and achievement of working capital targets. Performance against the KPIs is assessed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and recommendations for payments determined following the end of the financial year.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

Service agreements

An executive agreement exists between Peter Amos, the Managing Director, and Amber Technology Limited. This agreement provides that Mr Amos, for a period of 12 months from the date of termination, will not engage in activities in competition with the Amber Group. There is a notice period by either party of 12 months.

The agreement commenced on 31 May 1999 and continues indefinitely. In the event that the company was to exercise its right to terminate the contract, the current payout value would be $435,000 (2022: $417,500).

Other transactions with Key Management Personnel and their Related Parties

During the financial year, sales totaling $371,203 to Wes Components Pty Ltd (director-related entity of Santo Carlini) were made. The current trade receivable balance as at 30 June 2023 is $27,749. All transactions were made on normal commercial terms and conditions at market rates.

Share based compensation

The company has adopted an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP). The Board of Directors may determine the executives and eligible employees who are entitled to participate in the ESOP.

The options issued under the ESOP will expire 5 years after the issue date, or earlier on any of the following events:

a the eligible employee is dismissed with cause or has breached a restriction contained in his/her employment contract;
b the eligible employee dies while in the employ of the Company;
c the eligible employee is made redundant by the Company;
d the eligible employee’s employment with the Company is voluntarily terminated by the eligible employee; or
e the eligible employee’s employment terminates by reason of normal retirement.

The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESOP, together with shares reserved for issuance under any other Option Plan, shall not exceed 5% of the diluted ordinary share capital in the Company (comprising all Shares, all Options issued under the ESOP and under any other Option Plan, and all other convertible issued securities).

The ESOP provides the Board with the ability to determine the exercise price of the options, the periods within which the options may be exercised, and the conditions to be satisfied before the option can be exercised.

The ESOP provides for adjustments in accordance with ASX Listing Rules if there is a capital reconstruction, a rights issue or a bonus issue.

Options previously granted as remuneration which remain exercisable at year end are set out below.

	Balance at beginning	Balance at end of year
P Amos	-	-
R Glasson	-	75,000
R Neale	-	-
R Caston	62,500	125,000

During the financial year, 337,500 options vested with key management personnel (2022: 337,500). During the year 250,000 options were exercised (2022: 612,500), and 75,000 options were forfeited (2022: Nil).

In relation to bonus issues, each outstanding option confers on the option holder the right to receive, on exercise of those outstanding options, not only one share for each of the outstanding options exercised but also the additional shares the option holder would have received had the option holder participated in that bonus issue as a holder of ordinary shares.

During the year these assignments comprised primarily tax compliance assignments. The Board of Directors is satisfied that the auditors' independence is not compromised as a result of providing these services because:

All non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor, and
None of the services undermines the general principles relating to the auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing or auditing the auditors' own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as an advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

During the year fees that were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the parent entity and its related practices are disclosed at note 29.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Ambertech Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Ambertech Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO

Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue recognition

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 3, the Group recognised revenue of $84,224,000 during the financial year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: $76,995,000).

Due to the overall significance of revenue to the Group as a key performance indicator, and the judgement involved in assessing the performance obligations in respect to project based revenue, we considered this area to be a key audit matter.

To determine whether revenue was appropriately accounted for and disclosed within the financial statements, we performed, amongst others, the following audit procedures:

Reviewed a sample of large, open contracts at year end and ensured revenue had been recognised in line with AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers ;
Tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls surrounding the existence of revenues;
Substantively tested a sample of revenue transactions during the year and deferred revenue balance at year end and ensured they had been appropriately recognised and aligned with the goods and services supplied per the terms of the respective customer orders / agreements;
Performed detailed cut-off testing to ensure that revenue transactions around the year end had been recorded in the correct period including testing of post year-end credit notes; and
Performed substantive analytical procedures over gross margins by segment in comparison to the prior period, budget and our expectations.

Valuation of inventory

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 7, the Group held inventory with a carrying value of $23,070,000 as at 30 June 2023 (2022:

$17,360,000) which represented approximately 44% of the Group’s total assets.

Inventory valuation was considered a key audit matter due to the significant value of these assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the key estimates and judgements applied by management in assessing the net realisable value (‘NRV’) of inventory due to the nature of the industry in which the Group operates in.

Our audit procedures for addressing this key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following:

Reviewed the inventory obsolescence policy and assessed the assumptions applied by management in determining the provision for obsolescence;
Observed the cyclical inventory count procedures performed by management and assessed, by inspection, whether there was any evidence of damaged or obsolete inventory;
Tested a sample of inventory items on hand at year end and as at the date of acquisition of Convoy International to ascertain whether these balances were being recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value;
Obtained supplier invoices for a sample of inventory items on hand to determine whether the pricing was accurate; and
Performed various analytical procedures in relation to inventory including analysing inventory turnover by product group and gross margin in comparison to prior periods and our expectations.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors’ Report (excluding the audited Remuneration Report section) for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the Annual Report to the Shareholders, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

- Sale of goods	80,827	72,784
- Rendering of services	3,397	4,211

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discounts and allowances) from the provision of goods and services to entities outside the economic entity.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when control transfers to the customer. In most cases this coincides with the transfer of legal title, or the passing of possession to the customer. In arrangements whereby the consolidated entity is required to meet contractually agreed upon specifications, control over the goods generally occurs when the customer has confirmed acceptance.

Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised at the point in time in which the service is provided to the customer. Maintenance and support contracts extend for between one and five years. Revenue is respect to these services are generally recognised overtime as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Group provides the services. Where amounts are invoiced before revenue is earned, a deferred revenue liability is brought to account. These contract liabilities reflect the consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

F) Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

NOTE 5: INCOME TAX (continued)

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

G) Tax consolidated group

Ambertech Limited and its Australian wholly owned controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Ambertech Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ in its own right.

Current tax liabilities/assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits are immediately transferred to the head entity. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement will be recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

A) Current trade receivables are non-interest bearing, generally received between 30 and 60 day terms. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit loss.
B) An allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) is required when a difference arises between the contracted cashflows and the amount expected to be received, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For trade receivables, a simplified approach is applied in calculating the ECLs. Loss allowances recognised are based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. This is established from historical credit losses, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the receivable.

C) Movement in the allowance for expected credit losses is as follows:

A) Inventories

Inventories include finished goods and stock in transit and are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis and include direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenses.

Key Estimate and Judgement: Provision for Obsolescence

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

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

D) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life taking into account estimated residual values. The straight line method is used.

Plant and equipment is depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of leasehold improvements, from the time the asset is completed and ready for use.

The land and buildings right of use asset related to a lease for the consolidated entities property lease for its premises at Unit 1, 2 Daydream Street, Warriewood NSW 2102. The lease has a lease term of 5 years commencing 14 January 2023 with rent payable monthly. An option exists to renew the lease at the end of this time for an additional term of 5 years with a final expiry date being 13 January 2033. The lease has rent increases of at least 3.0% (capped at 4.5%) each year.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 10: RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS (continued)

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 consolidated entity 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 remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity 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.

Key Estimate and Judgement: Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date.

Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the Groups operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Recognition and measurement

A) Goodwill

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and is not subject to amortisation, but tested annually for impairment.

Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 11: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

B) Impairment of Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units).

The consolidated entity determined the recoverable amount of assets based on a value-in-use calculation, using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. The following assumptions have been applied by management in the 30 June 2023 calculation of value-in-use based on past performance and expectations for the future:

Annual sales growth of between 11% to 19% over the three-year forecast period
Terminal value factor of 2.07
Post-tax discount rate of 15.67%

Management have performed sensitivity analysis and assessed reasonable changes for key assumptions and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s assets to exceed its recoverable amount.

If there is evidence of impairment for any of the company’s assets, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

C) Website Costs

Significant costs associated with website costs are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being a finite life of 5 years.

D) Customer/Supplier Relationships

Significant costs associated with customer/supplier costs on acquisition are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being a finite life of 5 years.

E) Brand Names

Brand names have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortisation but are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

F) Research & Development

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources and the intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably.

Details of the economic entity's exposure to interest rate changes on financial liabilities is outlined in note 26. The fair value of the financial liabilities approximates their carrying value.

A) Debtor finance

On 31 July 2023, the economic entity entered into an agreement with Octet finance Pty Ltd in relation to extending the invoice discounting solution for a further 12 months. The facility has approval of a limit of up to $12,000,000 (2022: $$9,000,000).

The economic entity did not breach any covenants during the financial year.

B) Business transaction facility

On 10 June 2022 the economic entity entered into an agreement with Octet Finance Pty Ltd to extend the Business Transaction Facility with a limit of $1,000,000 with no fixed term. During the year this limit was increased to $2,000,000. As at 30 June 2023, the amount drawn under this facility was $390,571 (2022:Nil). Additionally, there is a Scottish Pacific Business Finance facility held in New Zealand with no fixed term and a limit of $1,209,865. As at 30 June 2023 the amount drawn under this facility was $3,000 (2022:$328,000).

C) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 14: FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)

recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

	2023	2022
	$'000	$'000
Current
Lease liabilities	1,438	1,247
Non Current
Lease liabilities	6,050	7,098

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 consolidated entity'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.

Key Estimate and Judgement: Incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

A) Service warranty

Provision is made for the estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at balance date. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year. Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 16: PROVISIONS (continued)

In determining the level of provision required for warranties, the economic entity has made judgements in respect of the expected performance of the product, expected customer claims and costs of fulfilling the conditions of warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty costs associated with similar products.

Movements in provisions, other than employee benefits are set out below:

	Service warranty
	$'000
Opening balance at 1 July 2022	274
Reduction due to reduced warranty requirements	(228)
Reductions resultingfrompayments	(1)
Closingbalance at 30 June 2023	45

B) Employee benefits

Short term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits and equity compensation benefits) which fall due wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which employee services are rendered. They comprise wages, salaries, commissions, social security obligations, short-term compensation absences and bonuses payable within 12 months and non-mandatory benefits such as car allowances.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid is recognised as an expense.

Other long-term employee benefits include long-service leave payable 12 months or more after the end of the financial year.

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

C) Amounts not expected to be settled within the next twelve months:

The current provisions for annual leave and long service leave include all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service. The entire amount is presented as current, since the economic entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the economic entity does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next twelve months.

The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken within the next twelve months:

	Economic Entity
	2023	2022

NOTE 23: SHARE BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

On 18 December 2020, 2,100,000 share options were granted under the Ambertech Limited Executive Share Option Scheme to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.22 each. The options are exercisable on or before 18 December 2025. The options hold no voting or dividend rights and are not transferable.

These options vest as follows:

I. Three quarters of the options have vested (tranche 1, tranche 2 and tranche 3) and
II. One quarter of the options vest on 30 September 2024.

Vesting subsequent to grant date is also subject to Key Management Personnel (KMP) meeting specified performance criteria. Further details of these options are provided in the directors’ report. The options hold no voting or dividend rights but have been listed. The options lapse when a KMP ceases their employment with the Group. During the financial year 337,500 options vested with KMPs (2022: 337,500).

The consolidated entity established the Ambertech Limited Employee Share Option Plan on 5 November 2004 as a long-term incentive scheme to strive for improved group performance. The options are issued for no consideration and carry no entitlements to voting rights or dividends of the Group. The number available to be granted is determined by the Board and is based on performance measures including profitability, return on capital employed and dividends.

The options are issued with a strike price representing a discount of 6% to the average market price of the underlying shares determined at the time the shares were granted.

Options exercisable as at 30 June 2022	325,000	$0.22

NOTE 23: SHARE BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS (continued)

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at year-end was 3.5 years. The exercise price of outstanding shares at the end of the reporting period was $0.22.

The fair value of the options granted to key management personnel is considered to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period.

Options issued over ordinary shares are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model which takes into account the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividends on the underlying share, the current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option.

The value of the options is recognised in an option reserve until the options are exercised, forfeited, or expire.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was $Nil (2022: Nil). These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs:

-	Weighted average exercise price:	$0.22
-	Weighted average life of the option	5 Years
-	Expected share volatility	50%
-	Risk free interest rate	1.20%

Historical share price volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future volatility.

The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

These shares were issued as compensation to key management personnel and other executives of the Group. Further details relating to key management personnel are provided in the directors’ report.

Accounting Policies

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenues 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 and property, plant and equipment and goodwill. All remaining assets of the economic entity are considered to be unallocated assets. Segment liabilities consist principally of accounts payable, employee entitlements, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings.

Segment assets and liabilities do not include income taxes.

Intersegment Transfers

Segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The prices charged on intersegment transactions are the same as those charged for similar goods to parties outside of the economic entity. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The economic entity's financial risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the business, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the economic entity's activities.

The economic entity's activities expose it to a wide variety of financial risks, including the following:
credit risk
liquidity risk
market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk)

This note presents information about the economic entity's exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and how the economic entity manages capital.

Liquidity and market risk management is carried out by a central treasury function (Group Treasury) in accordance with risk management policies. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board, through the Audit and Risk Management Committee, oversees how management monitors compliance with the risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to risks.

The economic entity uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes. The economic entity does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

A). Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the economic entity if a customer or the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the economic entity's receivables from customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the financial assets.

Trade and other receivables

Exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The customer base consists of a wide variety of customer profiles. New customers are analysed individually for creditworthiness, considering credit ratings where available, financial position, past experience and other factors. This includes major contracts and tenders approved by executive management. Customers that do not meet the credit policy guidelines may only purchase using cash or recognised credit cards. The general terms of trade for the economic entity are between 30 and 60 days.

In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped by their debtor ageing profile. Monitoring of receivable balances on an ongoing basis minimises the exposure to bad debts.

Expected credit loss allowance

The expected credit loss allowance relates to specific customers, identified as being in trading difficulties, or where specific debts are in dispute. The expected credit loss allowance does not include debts past due relating to customers with a good credit history, or where payments of amounts due under a contract for such customers are delayed due to works in dispute and previous experience indicates that the amount will be paid in due course.

Total trade receivables	14,890	13,696

The economic entity does not have other receivables which are past due (2022: Nil).

The consolidated entity increased its monitoring of debt recovery as there was an increased probability of customers delaying payment or being unable to pay, due to the current economic environment. At this time this concern has not materialized with credit losses only marginally increased.

B). Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the economic entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The economic entity's policy for managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity (cash reserves and finance facilities) to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions. The objective of the policy is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of finance facilities.

The economic entity monitors liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and financing facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the economic entity's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

2023 Financial liabilities due for payment Trade payable Other accounts payable Financial liabilities Lease liability Total expected outflows Financial assets - cash flows realisable Trade receivables Total anticipated inflows Net inflow / (outflow) on financial instruments	Contractual Cash Flows Within 1 Year 1 to 5 Years Over 5 Years Total $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 6,331 - - 6,331 2,521 - - 2,521 6,324 - - 6,324 1,784 6,512 - 8,296

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

The fair value of debtor finance and lease liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

C). Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the economic entity's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The activities of the economic entity expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, whilst optimising the returns.

Foreign Currency Risk

The following table demonstrates the impact on the profit and equity of the economic entity, if the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10%, which management consider to be reasonably possible at balance date against the respective foreign currencies, with all other variables remaining constant:

Impact on profit Impact on equity	Weakening of 10% 2023 2022 $'000 $'000 (101) (311) (101) (311)	Strengthening of 10% 2023 2022 $'000 $'000 83 255

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Interest Rate Risk

The economic entity has a debtor financing facility. The use of the facility exposes the economic entity to cash flow interest rate risk.

As at the reporting date, the economic entity had the following fixed and variable rate borrowings:

	Note	Weighted average interest rate	Weighted average interest rate	Balance
		2023	2022	2023	2022
		%	%	$'000	$'000
Debtor finance	14	5.80%	6.20%	5,930	927
Business transaction facility	14	5.80%	6.20%	394	328
Financial liabilities		5.80%	6.20%	6,324	1,255

The following table demonstrates the impact on the profit and equity of the economic entity if the average interest rate on the borrowing facility had either increased or decreased by 1%, which management consider to be reasonably possible over the whole year ending 30 June 2023, with all other variables remaining constant:

Impact on profit Impact on equity	Increase of 1% of average interest rate Decrease of 1% of average interest rate 2023 2022 2023 2022 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 (38) (13) 38 13
	(38) (13) 38 13

D) Net Fair Values

The net fair values of assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values. No financial assets or liabilities are readily traded on organised markets.

E) Capital Management

The Board's aim is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

Total capital is defined as shareholders' equity. The Board monitors the return on capital, which is defined as net operating income divided by total shareholders' equity. The Board also establishes a dividend payout policy which is targeted as being greater than 50% of earnings, subject to a number of factors, including the capital expenditure requirements and the company's financial and taxation position. Dividends paid or reinvested as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan during the year ended 30 June 2022 were $1,861,000 (2022: $2,626,000).

There were no changes to the economic entity's approach to capital management during the financial year.

Convoy International - Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group

AASB 3 Business Combinations requires disclosure of both the revenue and profit and loss of the acquired business from the date of acquisition, and disclosure of revenue and profit and loss for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date had been as of the commencement of the financial period. Since the acquisition date;

Convoy International Brands have contributed $1,170,000 of revenue to the group.

Management has however determined that disclosure of the profit and loss of the acquired business from date of acquisition is impracticable, given it has now consolidated with the existing business of Ambertech Limited.

Management has also determined that it is impractical to determine the revenue and profit and loss of the entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. This is due to the consolidation of the acquired business into the existing business of Ambertech Limited during the year and the cessation of various lines of business previously undertaken by the business of the acquiree.
