| Profit/(loss) before income tax | 3,179 | (1,805) | 4,984 |
Revenue for the half-year grew substantially from the previous corresponding period. Our Retail segment was boosted by growth in sales of One For All remotes, along with the introduction of Philips branded projectors into the market.
Our Integrated Solutions segment experienced the greatest growth with the success of brands Ambertech now represents after the acquisition of the Hills Audio Visual division (“HAV”) in December 2019. Scope remains for further growth in these products both in Australia and New Zealand.
Our Professional segment also grew period on period, with project work in the Broadcast and Defence areas ongoing, and sales to musical instrument stores very strong during the period. There is scope for further improvement in this segment as areas affected by COVID-19 begin to recover, including the live production area.

For the period ended 31 December 2020
Results for the period were also very strong. EBIT for the half year grew to $3.8M, which represented a significant improvement over the previous corresponding period where an EBIT loss of $1.0M was recorded. The result continues the positive results trend from the second half of the 2020 financial year.
The major factor in this earning growth is the economies of scale achieved with the HAV acquisition. The increased scale of the business has enabled us to leverage the infrastructure that Ambertech had already invested in over several years.

EBIT for the Dec 20 half year followed a strong second half of FY20. Both of those periods included a $1.1M JobKeeper contribution.
The profitable results over the last two half years has allowed us to add resources to the business that will continue the progress of improving operational efficiency and add greater value to our customer base. We see this as an important part of delivering positive ongoing results and maintaining strong relationships with our brand partners.

Further Explanation of the Results
For the period ended 31 December 2020
Integrated Solutions Segment
Sales up 113.2% to $18.4M (LY: $8.6M). Segment EBIT contribution $2.5M (LY: $0.2M loss).
This segment of the business saw the biggest improvements in revenue and results deriving from the HAV acquisition in December 2019. The period was somewhat impacted by coronavirus related business interruptions; however, the strong half year result is a testament to the successful integration of the new brands and staff that the acquisition provided.
Professional Segment
Sales up 15.2% to $14.5M (LY: $12.5M). Segment EBIT contribution $1.7M (LY: $0.3M loss)
Our Professional segment returned strong revenue growth with several projects being delivered during the period. Included in this was the recognition of approximately $2.75M of the ABC project that was announced to the market in March 2020. We also saw strong results from products sold into musical instrument retail stores during this half.
Results were impacted by the virtual shut down of the live entertainment industry due to the coronavirus restrictions. We hope that this industry continues the recovery that appears to be underway.
Retail Segment
Sales up 37.5% to $6.0M (LY: $4.4M). Segment EBIT contribution $0.5M (LY: $0.3M loss).
Growth in revenue in the retail segment of our business has been driven by two main factors:
-
Ongoing strong demand for our One For All branded remote controls; and
-
The successful introduction to the market of Philips branded projectors.
The segment contribution was a successful turnaround from the previous corresponding period, and we continue to work on improving returns in this area through operational efficiencies both in Australia and New Zealand.

Outlook for the business
The second half of the financial year has commenced with preliminary results showing that Ambertech has continued to trade profitably during that time. Our dealer-based business has continued to be strong. In our project area we have delivered on the supply of mesh radios to a Defence client as a part of the continued growth of this area of our business that has resulted from many years of seed work.
Our improved results meant that we did not qualify for the extension of the Federal Government’s JobKeeper subsidy, and whilst this was important to the business in the earlier days of the pandemic, we are pleased that the performance of the business has seen significant improvement since that time.
We continue to invest time in ensuring we grow the business whilst improving operational efficiencies. The Board and executive management continue to pursue opportunities for Ambertech for growth by acquisition.
We are most pleased to once again provide a return to our investors, based on the half year results, and we are confident that we can meet our target dividend payout ratio of 45%-55% for the full year result.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Report for the Half-Year ended 31 December 2020
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 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 2020 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.
GOING CONCERN
For the period ended 31 December 2020, the consolidated entity recorded EBIT of $3,816,000 (2019: negative EBIT of $1,030,000); with a profit after tax for the period of $3,619,000 (2019: loss of $1,577,000). The consolidated entity also generated operating cash inflows of $1,502,000 (2019: $848,000) and had cash reserves of $1,403,000 as at 31 December 2020 (2019: $960,000). Accordingly, the directors are confident the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in preparing this financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 are consistent with those applied in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, unless otherwise stated.
NEW, REVISED OR AMENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED The consolidated entity has adopted all 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 following new Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The consolidated entity has adopted the revised conceptual framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity has reviewed such policies under the revised framework.
The application of the Conceptual Framework does not have a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Report for the Half-Year ended 31 December 2020
NOTE 3: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
No matters have arisen which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.
NOTE 4: INCOME TAX
The consolidated entity has recorded its first profit in several interim periods for the half-year ended 31 December 2020. The consolidated entity currently has carried forward losses from prior years, which includes trading stock losses (together ‘carried forward losses’). The utilisation of these carried forward losses is conditional on the consolidated entity meeting the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law in the period in which the consolidated entity derives sufficient taxable income in order to utilise these losses.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2020, management has reviewed the deductibility of these carried forward losses in comparison to the estimated taxable income derived by the consolidated entity and are confident that sufficient carried forward losses are available to offset the taxable income derived for the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
As no deferred tax asset has been recognised in prior periods in respect to these carried forward losses as the probability of recoupment was not sufficiently certain, no income tax expense/(benefit) has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss in respect to these carried forward tax losses for the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
| NOTE 5: DIVIDENDS 31-Dec-20 $'000 Recognised as distributions to equity holders 2020 final dividend – 0.3 cents per share 100% franked at a tax rate of 30% 229 |

| Declared before the interim report is authorised for issue but not recognised as distributions to equity holders at the end of the period Fully franked interim dividend 1.5 cents per share 100% franked at a tax rate of 30% 1,147 |
NOTE 6: SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment reporting for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with the Board’s view of how the different operating groups of the consolidated entity operate and are presented to the markets in which each operates. As a result, there have been changes in the presentation of these segments from previous reporting periods.
The changes include the separation of the previous “Lifestyle Entertainment” segment into two new segments called “Integrated Solutions” and “Retail”, and the consolidation of the results of the entity’s New Zealand operations into the new primary segments.
Geographical segment reporting remains unchanged from prior reporting periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Ambertech Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
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 2020, 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 ended on that date, a summary of 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 accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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 the audit of the annual 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 the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the directors for the 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
