LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dr Miles Jakeman AM
A DEFINING YEAR FOCUSED ON ESTABLISHING PRODUCT-MARKET FIT & ASSOCIATED SALES OPPORTUNITIES
Dear Shareholders,
Thank you for your continued support and investment in archTIS. As Chairman, I’d like to personally thank you for your trust and confidence as we take the business to its next stage of growth.
Financial Year 2021 (FY21) will go down as a bittersweet period for the company as we entered into new global market opportunities. Amongst the personal loss and economic challenges experienced by hundreds of millions of people across the globe, archTIS is pleased to deliver a transformational and record-breaking financial year.
archTIS’ financial performances this year was substantially higher in every single reporting metric. This outstanding performance has us well positioned as we enter into FY22 with record revenues of $4.6M, up 743% from the prior reporting period, a strong year-end cash balance of $12.7M, marquee global customers on recurring contracts, industry leading solutions that solve some of the largest security challenges facing organisations today and lastly, and most importantly, a very seasoned and experienced executive team that has done this before and is delivering significant value to shareholders.
The pain and suffering brought on by COVID-19 also brought on new business opportunities with the massive global growth of the remote worker and a US$10B datacentric security market. Remote work has brought new challenges to collaboration and has exposed a broader need around security; particularly associated with breaches and loss of sensitive information originating from employees and contractors (insider threats). Nation-states, corporate espionage and human error have exponentially added to the challenges global organisations are facing in securing their data. Despite increased spending on security, the daily papers are filled with headlines touting the latest breaches of personal data, intellectual property, classified military documents and simple mistakes such as emailing the wrong file or putting something sensitive into the wrong folder. The old security model is broken and archTIS is leading the way toward new and innovative methodologies that make collaboration more secure, easier to use, simple to deploy and scalable.
During the year, we quickly realised that as we grew, we were going to need to better scale our governance and operations. We took three key steps to: (1) optimising the Board of Directors to include seasoned technology executive at Xero Leanne Graham, along with our founder and current Managing Director Daniel Lai; (2) appointed co-secretaries in Erlyn Dale and Winton Willesee; and (3) hired Kylie Sheather as our full-time CFO who comes from a large technology company and ASX experienced background.
Operationally, we had two key defining moments. In December, we merged with US-based Nucleus Cyber, which immediately expanded archTIS’ global footprint with new markets across North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. The business merger has created product diversity with increased cross-selling opportunities created by tapping into Nucleus Cyber’s existing product offering within the Microsoft software suite. The Company also secured our largest deal since inception, a landmark $4.2M contract with the Australian Department of Defence, confirming archTIS’ ability to digitally protect the sharing of highly sensitive information. The Department of Defence subsequently procured $1.4M of NC Protect; thus, demonstrating the cross-marketability for both our offerings.
These events have not only validated our technology and product offerings but have laid a strong foundation for FY22. The Company is focused on driving shareholder value through continued top-line revenue growth via high margined licensed offerings, providing key investments in the continued expansion of sales distribution channels and market awareness, product innovation to support our innovative approach toward data-centric security and opportunistically seek an acquisition strategy that expands product offerings and geographical distribution.
Finally, to all our shareholders and outstanding global staff, thank you for your support during what has been a transformational year for archTIS. We look forward to continuing to deliver on strategic initiatives to drive growth and long-term value in the coming financial year.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Miles Jakeman AM, Chairman 25 August 2021

LETTER FROM THE CEO & MANAGING DIRECTOR
Daniel Lai
Dear Shareholders,
FY21 has been significant for archTIS as we continued to deliver on several of our strategic goals including:
-
Executing sales and expanding archTIS products across Government agencies including Defence and Intelligence, and regulated commercial industry sectors.
-
Expanding our strategic alliances and global distribution network.
-
Continue to expand upon industry leading product innovations.
-
Identify merger and acquisition opportunities to more rapidly scale the business.
-
Establishing the foundations for a global highgrowth and predictable annual recurring revenue business.
These goals were achieved despite the current geopolitical climate and COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted the way organisations and individuals’ access and share sensitive information. Now, more than ever, archTIS is well positioned to be trusted to safeguard the world’s most sensitive information.
The successful execution of this strategy has resulted in a series of record-breaking financial metrics compared to last year’s financial results, including:
- Total Revenue of $4.6M (743% increase);
Finally, archTIS has rounded out the executive team with the recruitment of Kylie Sheather as our global Chief Financial Officer.
With their combined public company expertise, a strong senior leadership team to drive product, sales and marketing strategy, and the establishment of experienced sales teams in EMEA, US and Asia Pacific, we are strongly positioned to expand our growth and customer base in FY22. I expect that this year will also come with many challenges due to the ongoing pandemic and global market uncertainty, however, the market tailwinds of cyber security, work from home and Defence spending will continue to present growth opportunities for archTIS.
FY21 has been a transformational year for archTIS which now has the Company in a strong position for growth as we commence the new financial year. I would like to thank the Board for their support and guidance and the dedicated archTIS team that is driving our success. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support.
Yours sincerely,

-
Annual Recurring Revenue of $1.9M (681% increase);
-
Cash receipts of $7.4M, (846% increase); and
-
Gross Profit of $3.1M (1,159% increase) across a 67% gross margin.
This of course could not have been achieved without the hard work from a dedicated team. Through the Nucleus Cyber acquisition we welcomed former Nucleus Cyber CEO, Kurt Mueffelmann, as Global COO & US President. Kurt has been instrumental in leading global sales and operation efforts including Microsoft product suite sales over the past six months and continues to accelerate archTIS’ global growth strategy and partnerships.

OVERVIEW OF FY21 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
As a global technology provider of innovative software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information, archTIS’ underlying mission is to “safeguard the world’s most sensitive information”.
Cybersecurity breaches from nation-state hacking, corporate espionage and human error continue to be a significant threat to organisations and governments totalling trillions of dollars on an annual basis. While most organisations look to protect the edge or perimeter by keeping the bad guys out, archTIS’ innovative technology provides dynamic and intelligent datacentric approaches that protects data, the “crown jewels” of the organization, in real-time.
Adding to the challenge, the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges and opportunities as organisations around the world have transitioned towards remote work environments. The dichotomy of collaboration places increasing importance on the ability to access and share information safely and securely.
archTIS’ two information security solutions, Kojensi and NC Protect, dynamically change the access and sharing rights of unstructured documents and files based upon a zero trust, data-centric architecture that is enforced through attribute-based access controls (ABAC). This creates tighter control over data without adding complexity, delivering products that are easy to use, rapidly implemented and scalable while allowing organisations to leverage investments in their existing systems.
MarketsandMarkets research projects the global datacentric security market size will increase from USD 3,460 million in 2020 to USD 9,763 million by 2026, a CAGR of 23.1%. This predicted growth is fuelled by cloud migration, BYOD, and the creation of world-wide remote workforce due to COVID 19 and the different requirements and use cases on how to best protect information as a result.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
OVERVIEW OF FY21 (CONT.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
FY21 Financial Targets Exceeded
FY21 was a foundational and transformational year for archTIS which will allow the Company to benefit from a large and growing market opportunity and associated tailwinds.
archTIS delivered significant financial gains in FY21, finishing the year with record-breaking financial performances across all areas. The Company achieved total group revenues of $4,626,879, an increase of 743% over the prior FY20 corresponding period of $548,747.
==> picture [253 x 152] intentionally omitted <==
As part of the growth in revenues, the Company has been focused on generating more predictable annual recurring revenues (ARR). ARR for FY21 grew to $1.939M, an increase of more than 681% over the prior corresponding period. The focus on ARR will lead to higher gross margins and increased predictability across the business.
The Company also finished with a strong cash balance of $12.7M up 425% from the prior corresponding period; well-positioning the entity for investment growth into FY22.
Nucleus Cyber Merger
During FY21, archTIS expanded its market opportunity in the information security sector with the merger of US-based Nucleus Cyber. The 100% scrip merger has enabled the business to scale up through the expansion of a global sales distribution network, increased sales pipeline, and additional key alliance partnerships. Namely with Microsoft, and robust technology-leading product innovation focused on the Microsoft suite of collaboration applications used by over 85% of the global enterprises.
The merger of Nucleus Cyber was announced in October 2020 and became effective in December 2020. In just over six months since the announcement, the Company has accelerated sales and grown market
share by expanding sales distribution networks globally through key partner alliances, including a Microsoft IP Co-sell partnership, and has continued to enhance product development and innovation.
The combined Company achieved over $2.35M of total contract sales value attributed to Nucleus Cyber’s NC Protect product in the last half of FY’21. This is more than a 470% increase in just a six-month period from the $500k in sales though the entire 2020 calendar year. Sales consisted of Microsoft IP Co-sell deals, multi-year licenses to large government defence agencies, leading financial services and manufacturing firms and existing customer renewals, which are driving ARR as well as additional licensing into key accounts.
Through the Nucleus Cyber merger, the Company has expanded global sales distribution capabilities and established an expanded multi-geography presence in APAC, the Americas and EMEA. A US-based Federal and Defence focused business unit to leverage existing Australian successes and relationships has also been created to leverage the prior successes in Australia.
Enhanced channel partnerships and key strategic alliances have been possible through NC Protect’s IP co-sell agreement with Microsoft. During the six-month period, the Company signed 12 new Microsoft and general security resellers across all geographical areas. Two key partnerships were announced this year with Thales and Raytheon.
Product innovation and development continued to be a focal point for the combined business. A new initiative, “KojNC,” was created to provide consistent core features and functionality in both Kojensi and NC Protect products. archTIS also strengthened the NC Protect product line with a major version release that added new capabilities based on market requests and customer feedback.
Sales to the Australian Department of Defence
In September 2020, the Company secured a landmark contract with the Australia Department of Defence Joint Capabilities Group with a total contract value of $4.2M which included the licenses of archTIS Kojensi and associated enterprise services for multi-national information sharing and cross-domain services. This is the Company’s largest contract to date, evidencing both its growing maturity as well as the Department’s commitment to invest in premium sovereign information security capabilities.
In Q4 FY21, the Department of Defence also procured two multi-year contracts totalling approximately $1.4M for the licensing of NC Protect to secure information collaboration across the Microsoft suite of offerings. This win was also part of the Microsoft IP Co-sell

OVERVIEW OF FY21 (CONT.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
program where archTIS and Microsoft collaborated on the strategy and licensing to better leverage core Microsoft applications across the agency while providing an increased layer of data-centric protection.
A Growing Experienced Team
During FY21, several executive and management changes were implemented as a result of the Nucleus Cyber merger and continued growth across archTIS’ existing business. The Nucleus Cyber merger saw Kurt Mueffelmann, Former CEO of Nucleus Cyber, join the Company, bringing 25-years of deep executive technology experience and sales connections within North America and across the Microsoft suite of products and reseller channels. Additional Nucleus Cyber executives Irena Mroz and Leigh Rowland joined the team as Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Engineer respectively.
Post-merger, multiple key hires were made in new regions to aid in the expansion of the business into new, strategic markets. In EMEA, Pete Smith joined as Vice President, General Manager of EMEA to formalize regional presence and channel partners. In North America, Bill Kalogeros was appointed Director, Federal and Defence Industry Base, to lead the newly created US Federal and Defence practice.
In April 2021, archTIS appointed Kylie Sheather as Chief Financial Officer to grow the Company’s financial management systems, strategic analysis and cost management to support the Group’s global expansion.
Corporate
The Company recently announced the successful completion of the merger with Nucleus Cyber. The Company has effectively combined all operations and procedures including consolidation of accounting, CRM systems, website, sales teams, business development pipelines and the use of external advisors such as lawyers and auditors. The Company also consolidated all branding under the archTIS company, folding NC Protect under archTIS and retiring the Nucleus Cyber corporate brand. The business combination leverages talent and networks of the combined team strengthening archTIS’ sales model and delivering ongoing operational cost efficiencies.
As part of the funding requirements for the Nucleus Cyber acquisition and to provide the necessary working capital to continue to grow the business and drive the sales pipeline across the combined Nucleus Cyber and Kojensi product offerings, archTIS raised $8.4M through a share placement in November 2020. The Company remained in a strong financial position at the end of the financial year to continue with identified growth initiatives and a cash balance of $12.7M.
Looking ahead
The growing market for secure information sharing combined with the transformational changes delivered in FY21 and a strong cash balance at year end, have archTIS well positioned to continue with top-line revenue growth across high margin licensed offerings in FY22.
Important goals for FY22 include:
-
Aggressively continue to drive triple-digit growth through annual recurring revenue to create repeatability and predictability.
-
Deliver product superiority across a data-centric and attribute-based access control approach.
-
Focus on capturing global market share in morehighly regulated industries with specific focus on replicating the early-successes in prior wins with Australian Ministry of Defence and large global defence contractors.
-
Leverage global direct sales distribution and partner resellers to continue the expansion of pipeline opportunities.
-
Continue significant alliance pipeline opportunities with Microsoft, Thales, Raytheon, and other opportunistic partners that drive awareness and shortened sales-cycle revenue opportunities.
-
Explore key acquisition opportunities that have the potential to further expand revenue-associated product offerings via complimentary areas or “tuckins” and/or expansion of geographical distribution channels.
-
Provide an innovative, exciting and enjoyable place of employment for staff, partners and customers.

Review of Operations
Refer to pages 10-12 of the annual report for an overview of FY21 operations.
Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company
The Company took early and positive steps to protect its employees, clients and the public by initiating work from home practices. archTIS staff worked remotely using Kojensi as our remote access platform. The initial effect of the pandemic was to slow the conversion of sales pipeline as potential customers delayed IT projects to focus on the immediate impacts to their business. However cyber security and trusted information shared quickly emerged as a growing issue with most companies as they sent their workforce to work remotely from their homes. This has highlighted the need for our product more than ever and created a greater market need and increased our sales pipeline in the medium to long term.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
On 23 December, 2020 archTIS Limited, acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Nucleus Cyber Inc for the total consideration of $7,517,522. Nucleus Cyber Inc provides advanced information protection solutions that prevent data loss and protect against insider threats across the Microsoft software suite. Nucleus Cyber’s ‘NC Protect’ solution provides a simple fast and inexpensive solution to tailor information protection for file sharing, messaging and chat across collaboration tools.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group entity during the financial year. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial
year
Completion of Nucleus Cyber Acquisition
At the Company’s Annual General Meeting in December 2020, the Company’s Shareholders approved the acquisition of Nucleus Cyber Inc (Merger), which provided for the issue of Initial Consideration Shares, Second Tranche Shares and Third Tranche Shares (each as defined in the Notice of Meeting released on ASX on 23 November 2020 (Notice of Meeting)).
On 24 December 2020, the Company completed the issue of 15,171,879 Initial Consideration Shares and 1,011,769 Second Tranche Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger.
Subsequent to the end of the Reporting Period, on 26 July 2021, the Company issued the final tranche of consideration shares, being 6,087,272 Third Tranche Shares, and issued 303,030 Shares (Retention Bonus
Shares) to certain retained employees, in accordance with the terms of the Merger.
The above represents full and complete settlement of the consideration payable by the Company in respect of the Merger.
Expansion into Europe, Middle East and Africa
The company announced on 6 July 2021 its expansion into Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) with the appointment of Pete Smith as the Vice President and General Manager of EMEA, based in London, United Kingdom (UK) and the creation of a new UK corporate subsidiary, archTIS UK Limited.
COVID-19
As the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on continued measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any further economic stimulus that may be provided.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
Information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
Overview of remuneration approach and framework
From time to time, the Board of Directors (‘the Board’) reviews the remuneration arrangements for its Directors and Executive Officers, to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.
The remuneration of Directors and other key management personnel is not directly linked to the Group’s performance.
The remuneration of Directors and other key management personnel is fixed annually. Bonuses are structured to reward outstanding performance against agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) including financial and non-financial metrics.
The Group did not engage a remuneration consultant to provide recommendations in respect of the remuneration of key management personnel.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Nonexecutive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The company’s Constitution provides that the maximum annual aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors will be not more than a fixed sum determined by a general meeting. The current maximum annual aggregate remuneration has been fixed at $275,000 per annum, however the Company intends to seek shareholder approval at its upcoming annual general meeting to increase this amount to $500,000 per annum.
Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
short-term performance incentives
-
share-based payments
-
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.
The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved.
The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders’ value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the Group’s direct competitors.

-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing RSM’s own work, acting in a management or decisionmaking capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The consolidated group incurred a loss after tax of $2,991,402 (2020 $3,725,369) and had net operating cash outflows of $525,804 (2020: $2,837,787). The entity has prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the entity has sufficient cash to meet its debts as and when they fall due and payable.
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:
-
The consolidated entity is currently exploring sales opportunities with various potential customers across the Government and Private sectors;
-
Following a successful capital raising in November 2020 of $8.4 million the Group has cash at bank as at 30 Jun ’21 of $12.7 million;
-
if necessary, the Company will consider additional capital raising activities through the issue of new share capital.
-
(b) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations, that are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-ofuse 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.
(c) Basis of preparation
These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
(d) Parent company information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 28.
(e) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of archTIS Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. archTIS Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(e) Principles of consolidation (cont.)
A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
(f) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is archTIS Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss at disposition of the foreign operation or net investment.
(g) Revenue recognition
The Group earns revenues from consulting services, the sale of solution services and software for secure information sharing and inter-organisational collaboration. It recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(h) Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
• When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(h) Income tax (cont.)
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
archTIS Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
(i) Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current
A liability is classified as current when:
-
it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle;
-
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
-
there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(k) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term
receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
(l) Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concession due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
The amount of the impairment allowance for financial assets carried at cost is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for similar financial assets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(m) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Leasehold Improv. Office furniture & equipment Computer Equipment |
Term of lease 2-4 years 2-4 years |
|---|---|
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
(n) Leases
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-ofuse asset is fully written down.
(o) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Research and 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 Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future
economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
Research and development tax incentive
The Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) is a 43.5% refundable tax offset that is calculated as 43.5% of the eligible research and development expenditure that has been incurred by the Group. The Directors consider any payment arising from the RDTI to be a form of government assistance and are of the view that it is appropriate to recognise RDTI receipts as Government Grants in accordance with AASB120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
As such, RTDI refunds are recognised when there is a sufficient degree of certainty that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to RDTI and that the payment will be received. Such refunds are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the assistance is intended to compensate. The proportion of the refund that relates to capitalised development is deducted against the carrying amount of the related non-current assets. Any remaining proportion that cannot be recognised on either of the preceding bases is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as ""Income from research and development claim"".
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.
Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.
Patents and trademarks
Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(p) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other 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 non-financial assets are reviewed 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.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
(q) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(r) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(s) Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(t) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(u) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave that is not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group's obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as noncurrent provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
Defined contribution superannuation
expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Binomial option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying the Binomial option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted.
The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cashsettled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(u) Employee benefits (cont.)
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
(v) Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or nonfinancial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
(w) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(x) Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.
(y) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisitiondate fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
(z) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of archTIS Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 2: Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Binomial model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Finite life intangible assets
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether finite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.
Income tax
calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are 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.
Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Business combinations
As discussed in note 1, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and is subject to estimation around the valuation of intangibles which may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2021
Note 10. Non-current Assets – Intangibles
The proportion of product design and development expenses, less any tax incentive applicable, that create a benefit in future years, and meet certain requirements are capitalised as an intangible asset. These capitalised costs (intangibles) are then amortised to the Profit and Loss Statement over the estimated life of the asset created. The carrying value of intangibles is reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The main intangible assets recognised during the financial period were technology/ in-process development, internally generated computer software and intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition of Nucleus Cyber Inc on 23 December 2020.
Internally-generated software development
Internally-generated software development costs qualify for capitalisation when the Group can demonstrate all of the following:
-
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
That the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be reliably measured during development.
Internally-generated software development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a straightline basis over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
The software development asset has a useful life of five years and is amortised on a straight-line basis commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The internally developed software asset, Kojensi.gov, was commercialised and launched in April 2019. Accordingly, this asset is amortised from this date. Costs which are incurred after the general release of internally-generated software or costs which are incurred in order to enhance existing products are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and included within research and development expense in the financial statements.
Technology In-process Research and Development
Research and development expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.
Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. The Group assesses the eligibility of development costs for capitalisation on a project-by-project basis.
Development costs capitalised are assessed annually for impairment. Costs capitalised to a project that is unlikely to deliver future economic benefits are recognised as an expense at the date of impairment.

Note 10. Non-current Assets – Intangibles (cont.)
Intangibles Acquired as part of the acquisition of Nucleus Cyber Inc.
Customer Contracts
Customer contracts acquired as at 23 December 2020 were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The following assumptions were applied to arrive at the valuation:
-
churn of 4%
-
Assumed price attrition over time of 5% per annum
-
Factored in costs of maintenance and support
-
Discount rate of 12.5% used
-
Contributory Asset Charge (CAC) for the software deducted from the Earnings after tax (on a posttax basis)
Customer Contracts are amortised over 5 years.
Software
Software was valued using the relief from royalty method. The following input assumptions were adopted:
-
Sales of NC Protect were taken from latest forecast model
-
5 years of data used
-
Royalty rate of 18.8% sourced from peer companies using royalty range report from independent industry source
-
Discount rate applied to post tax amounts of 17.5% using the Capital Asset Pricing Model
-
software development maintenance costs included as in a hypothetical licence arrangement the licensor would incur these costs.
Software is amortised over the useful life of 5 years.
Goodwill on acquisition
Goodwill on acquisition is derived as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net assets acquired. This amount is not amortised but rather is subject to an annual impairment test.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2021
Note 10. Non-current Assets – Intangibles (cont.)
The recoverable amount of the Group’s Intangible Assets has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 5-year projection period approved by management. The key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cashgenerating units is most sensitive.
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the new products:
-
17% post-tax discount rate. This discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the product, the risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements;
-
Projected revenue growth rate based on current sales pipeline, projected sales through current reseller partners, sales through new partnerships with resellers and increased users with existing customers;
Management believes the projected revenue growth rate is prudent and justified, based on its market analyses and evaluation.
- 3-5% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads.
Based on the above, no impairment charge has been applied to the internally generated software and development in progress or the Nucleus Cyber Inc cash generating unit (CGU) as the discounted recoverable amount for the cash generating unit exceeds the carrying value of the intangibles.
Judgements and estimates in respect of the above impairment testing have been made. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting intangibles carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows:
CGU: Kojensi
-
Revenue would need to decrease by more than 20% for the internally generated software and capitalised development projects before there would need to be impair either asset, with all other assumptions remaining constant;
-
The discount rate would be required to increase to 25% for the internally generated software and capitalised development projects before there would need to be impair either asset, with all other assumptions remaining constant.
CGU: NC Protect
-
Revenue would need to decrease by more than 27% before there would need to be an impairment of the acquired intangibles with all other assumptions remaining constant;
-
The discount rate would be required to increase to 37% before there would need to be an impairment of the acquired intangibles with all other assumptions remaining constant;

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.
Capital risk management
The Group's objectives are to prudently manage capital so as to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Note 23. Financial Instruments
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, and credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange and other price risks, and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk.
Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group is not exposed to any interest risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit. The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. There are no guarantees against any receivable but management closely monitors the receivable balance on a monthly basis and is in regular contact with customers to mitigate risk.

Note 23. Financial Instruments (cont.)
Credit risk (cont.)
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Liquidity risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the Group maintains sufficient liquid assets to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF archTIS LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of archTIS Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, 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 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; 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 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 (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.

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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed this matter |
|---|---|
| Company Acquisition Refer to Note 32 in the financial statements |
|
| During the year, archTIS completed a company acquisition. Management determined this acquisition to be a business combination under AASB 3 Business Combinations. The terms of the agreement involved the issue of equity consideration, and included contingent consideration. The purchase price must be allocated between the acquired assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values, with any difference recognised as goodwill on consolidation. We considered the transaction to be a key audit matter because of: • the judgments involved in the valuation of the intangible assets acquired; • the complexity of the valuation of identified intangible assets as part of the acquisition; • the material nature of the arising goodwill; and • the treatment of inter-group trading operations in the consolidation process. |
Our audit procedures included, among others: • Obtaining the share purchase agreement and other associated documents, and understanding the nature of the transaction to confirm that it met the definition of Business Combinations under AASB 3 rather than being an asset acquisition; • Reviewing the values for the equity consideration (including contingent consideration) to the signed purchase agreements and supporting calculations; • Reviewing the reasonableness of the valuation of the contingent consideration (including assessing the forecasts used for determining the contingent consideration and comparing these against actual performance where available); • Assessing the accuracy and completeness of the fair values of the identified assets and liabilities acquired; • Reviewing the work performed by management on the valuation of the tangible and intangible assets identified in the acquisition; • Obtaining expert advice on the valuation methodology and various inputs used by management; • Assessing the accuracy and completeness of the elimination of inter-group transactions in the consolidation process; and • We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosure, included in Notes 1(y), 2 and 32. |

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 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, 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.
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

==> picture [117 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have 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 at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
