The December 2018 half-year saw a significant increase in sales, driven by strong broadcast equipment sales in the Professional Segment of our business. Margins in this area of growth were less than the business generally obtains other areas of the business, and as such the overall EBIT and profit before tax for the company did not see the same growth over the previous corresponding period.

Further explanation of the result is included in the segment results below.

Segment Results

Lifestyle Entertainment Segment

Sales revenue down 5.0% to $14,461,000 (Dec 17: $15,229,000). EBIT down 118.3% to $(213,000) (Dec 17: $1,161,000).

Sales in the half-year period to December 2018 were subdued during the first quarter of the financial year. Sales from our dealer network in residential and commercial installation markets were steady, however sales to the major Consumer Electronics retailers were down, despite the strong relationships we maintain with our retail partners.

Professional Segment

Sales revenue up 57.8% to $16,669,000 (Dec 17: $10,562,000). EBIT up 1031% to $1,136,000 (Dec 17: $(122,000)).

Our Professional segment had a number of successes during the period, which is highlighted by the improvement in sales revenue for the period. There were several successful installations of broadcast equipment by our Media Systems team and resulted in a pleasing EBIT result for the period. Our pipeline for project work remains strong and we are hopeful of reflecting this in second half performance.

New Zealand Segment

Sales revenue up 0.5% to $1,691,000 (Dec 17: $1,682,000). EBIT up 36.4% to $(70,000) (Dec 17: $(110,000)).

Results for the period to 31 December 2018 were again poor for our New Zealand operation, however we continue to reshape the cost structure of this segment of our operations to improve results in the future.

Outlook for the business

The second half of the year has been more difficult for the business in recent years, however we continue to hold a strong forward order book at present and continue to seek and add new agencies to complement our portfolio. Our pipeline for completing capital equipment sales in our media systems area continues to be encouraging, across both our traditional media market and new growth area markets.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for forprofit 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 2018 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 2018 are consistent with those applied in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018, 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:

  • (i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 9 using the modified restrospective approach and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards for the first time. The requirements under AASB 9 that are applicable to the consolidated entity and the impact of its application is disclosed below:

Classification and measurement of financial assets

The directors have reviewed and assessed the Group's existing financial assets as at 1 July 2018 based on the facts and circumstances that existed at that date and have concluded that the application of AASB 9 has had no material impact on the classification or measurement of the Group's financial assets. Financial assets that were measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or amortised cost under AASB 139 continue to be measured at fair value or amortised cost under AASB 9.

Impairment of financial assets

The directors have reviewed and assessed the Group's existing financial assets and trade receivables for impairment using the AASB 9 expected credit loss model as opposed to the AASB 139 incurred credit loss model and have concluded that the application of AASB 9 has had no material impact on the Group's impairment allowance required for existing financial assets and trade receivables.

With effect from 1 July 2018, the Group's new accounting policy in respect to impairment of financial assets is as follows:

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, shall recognise a loss allowance for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to recognise the 12 month or lifetime expected credit losses determined by the significance of the change in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

  • (ii) AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the relevant amending standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).

This Standard replaces the previous accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principlesbased model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 applies to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following fivestep process:The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services.

To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:

  • identify the contract(s) with a customer;

  • identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

  • determine the transaction price;

  • allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

  • recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Group has reviewed and assessed the Group's revenue streams based on the application of AASB 15 and the impact of its application is disclosed below:

The majority of the Group sales are for sale of goods, where there is a single performance obligation and revenue is recognised at the point of sale or, where later, delivery to the end customer. There is no material impact from the adoption of AASB 15 on these sales. The revenue recognition approach historically applied by the Group for these sales are consistent with the principals of AASB 15.

Other revenue sources for the group include:

  • Contract revenue with milestone arrangements; and

  • Maintenance and support contracts.

Based on an analysis of these revenue streams, the directors have determined that the Group's accounting policies do not require change upon adoption of the new revenue recognition Standard.

Impact of Adoption

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group as at 31 December 2018, and there was no impact on the opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018.

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Ambertech Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 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 halfyear then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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.

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 the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
