Further Explanation of the Results
For the period ended 31 December 2014
Segment Results
Lifestyle Entertainment Segment
Sales revenue up 10.2% to $14,761,000 (Dec 13: $13,392,000). EBIT down 27.9% to $346,000 (Dec 13: $480,000).
Ambertech’s lifestyle entertainment segment distributes leading brands through a variety of channels. During the period under review our individual brand performance continued to improve and as a result revenue was up on the prior corresponding period. We are now in the process of finalising our new go to market strategy for this segment of our business to improve EBIT performance in the future.
Professional Segment
Sales revenue down 8.1% to $10,598,000 (Dec 13: $11,530,000). EBIT down 32.9% to $214,000 (Dec 13: $319,000).
Ambertech’s professional segment continues to enhance its reputation as a preferred supplier of high technology equipment in Australia. During the period under review revenue and EBIT were lower due to timing of project work.
Results in this segment can fluctuate depending on the number of projects completed during the period under review.
New Zealand Segment
Sales revenue down 3.9% to $1,636,000 (Dec 13: $1,702,000). EBIT down 518.0% to $(68,000) (Dec 13: $(11,000)).
Ambertech 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. During the period under review we have continued to see market share gains, however the timing of project work contributed to the loss reported for the period.
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 we have completed our restructure of brand representation whilst working towards a new operating structure for the future of the business. During the second half of the financial year we will continue to fine‐tune aspects of the business to facilitate growth in existing and new markets across each of our market segments.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This general purpose interim financial report for the half‐year ended 31 December 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for‐profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'interim financial reporting'.
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 2014 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 2014 are consistent with those applied in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014, unless otherwise stated.
NEW, REVISED OR AMENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
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 new Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012‐3 from 1 July 2014. The amendments add application guidance to address inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', by clarifying the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set‐off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be considered to be equivalent to net settlement.
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2013‐3 from 1 July 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' have been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the discount rate is required to be disclosed.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)
The consolidated entity has applied Parts A to C of AASB 2014‐1 from 1 July 2014. These amendments affect the following standards: AASB 2 'Share‐based Payment': clarifies the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining a 'performance condition' and a 'service condition' and amends the definition of 'market condition'; AASB 3 'Business Combinations': clarifies that contingent consideration in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is within the scope of AASB 9; AASB 8 'Operating Segments': amended to require disclosures of judgements made in applying the aggregation criteria and clarifies that a reconciliation of the total reportable segment assets to the entity's assets is required only if segment assets are reported regularly to the chief operating decision maker; AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement': clarifies that the portfolio exemption applies to the valuation of contracts within the scope of AASB 9 and AASB 139; AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and AASB 138 'Intangible Assets': clarifies that on revaluation, restatement of accumulated depreciation will not necessarily be in the same proportion to the change in the gross carrying value of the asset; AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures': extends the definition of 'related party' to include a management entity that provides KMP services to the entity or its parent and requires disclosure of the fees paid to the management entity; AASB 140 'Investment Property': clarifies that the acquisition of an investment property may constitute a business combination.
NOTE 3: Other Financial Liabilities
On 4 August 2014, the consolidated entity announced that management has successfully negotiated a new two year finance facility with Bibby Financial Services. The new facility is an invoice discounting solution with approval up to $6M and replaces the Commonwealth Bank of Australia as the primary lenders to the business. Funds drawn down from Bibby Financial services were utilised to completely repay the CBA commercial bills $3,625,000 at the end of July 2014. Subsequently further funds have been drawn down from the Bibby facility resulting in a balance at 31 December 2014 of $5,767,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Ambertech Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Ambertech Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, 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 half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
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 internal 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 half-year 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 2014 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 Ambertech Limited, 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 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Ambertech Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
