Further Explanation of the Results

For the period ended 31 December 2011

Segment Results

Lifestyle Entertainment Segment

Sales revenue down 25.4% to $16,452,000 (Dec 10: $22,065,000). EBIT down 119.6% to $(165,000) (Dec 10: $841,000).

Ambertech’s lifestyle entertainment segment distributes leading brands through a variety of channels. Major factors affecting the results for the period under review included:

  • Component shortages resulting from the Japanese Tsunami created a supply chain blockage for 6-8 weeks, impacting revenue, profit and period end inventory levels.

  • Slow retail sales in the second quarter compared to previous corresponding reporting periods.

Professional Segment

Sales revenue down 30.3% to $9,129,000 (Dec 10: $13,090,000). EBIT down 115.1% to $(91,000) (Dec 10: $603,000).

Ambertech’s professional segment continues to enhance its reputation as a preferred supplier of high technology equipment in Australia. The result for the period under review reflects the following external factors:

  • Consolidation of distribution agencies in the local territory of a number of international suppliers, as a result of corporate activity overseas.

  • Continued shortage of funds available for our customers for major project work.

New Zealand Segment

Sales revenue up 10.9% to $1,409,000 (Dec 10: $1,270,000). EBIT up 310.7% to $177,000 (Dec 10: $(84,000)).

Ambertech’s has focused on expanding our product offerings in New Zealand and leveraging more off our Australian operations in order to restore profitability to this segment. For the period under review we were able to achieve a number of these goals in a period where the New Zealand economy received a boost from the staging of the Rugby World Cup.

Outlook for the business

The Board and management of Ambertech continue to focus on returning the business to more consistent revenue and profit results. During the period under review the business has added a number of strategic new agencies that the Board believe will assist with this goal. During the second half of the financial year we are continuing to fine-tune aspects of the business to facilitate growth in existing and new markets.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

This general purpose interim financial report for the half‐year ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

This interim financial report does not include all the notes of a type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by Ambertech Limited during the interim financial reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in preparing this financial report for the half‐year ended 31 December 2011 are consistent with those applied in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011, except as set out below:

Accounting Standards not Previously Applied

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

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

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed in the relevant accounting policy. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

  • (i) AASB 2010‐6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards ‐ Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2010‐6 amendments from 1 July 2011. These amendments add and amended disclosure requirements in AASB 7 about transfer of financial assets, including the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Additional disclosures are now required when (i) an asset is transferred but is not derecognised; and (ii) when assets are derecognised but the consolidated entity has a continuing exposure to the asset after the sale.

  • (ii) AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 1054 from 1 July 2011. The standard sets out the Australian‐ specific disclosures, which are in addition to International Financial Reporting Standards, for entities that have adopted Australian Accounting Standards.

  • (iii) AASB 2011‐1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans‐Tasman Convergence Project

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2011‐1 amendments from 1 July 2011. These amendments made changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations for the purpose of closer alignment to International Financial Reporting Standards (’IFRSs’) and harmonisation between Australian and New Zealand Standards.

  • (iv) AASB 2011‐5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Extending Relief from Consolidation, the Equity Method and Proportionate Consolidation

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2011‐5 amendments from 1 July 2011.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF AMBERTECH LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated half-year financial report of Ambertech Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises Ambertech Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled at 31 December 2011 or from time to time during the half-year ended on that date.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Ambertech Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
