Basis for opinion
We conducted our Audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISA’s (NZ)). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole was set at $630,000 determined with reference to a benchmark of Group profit before tax. We chose the benchmark of profit before tax as the Group is a profit oriented business and we consider this represents a key measure of performance.

We summarise below those matters and our key audit procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process by which we arrived at our audit opinion.

- Detailed knowledge of individual characteristics of a contract, including unique terms, knowledge of software and length of time to complete contractual milestones;
We agreed significant changes in total forecast hours to correspondence with customers, legal documentation or contract variations. We evaluated potential exposures to liquidated damages through relevant legal correspondence and correspondence with customers.
- Ongoing adjustments to estimates of forecast hours for changes in scope, estimated timing and project delays; and
We also agreed a sample of milestone billings to invoice and cash receipts. In addition we considered the historical accuracy of managements’ estimates of forecast hours by analysing previous forecasts to actual hours.
- Changes to total project revenue based on variations to the contract or additional billing for changes in scope or additional hours incurred.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Gentrack Group Limited is a limited liability company, domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993. The registered office of the Company is 25 College Hill, Auckland 1011, New Zealand.
The financial statements presented are for Gentrack Group Limited and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) for the year ended 30 September 2016. Last year comparatives are for the year ended 30 September 2015.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 September 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 23 November 2016.
The Group’s principal activity is the development, integration, and support of enterprise billing and customer management software solutions for the utility (energy and water) and airport industries.
(a) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year.
Certain comparatives have been updated to ensure consistency with current year presentation.
(b) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-oriented entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The Company is an FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Both these acts became effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2014, and the Financial Reporting Act 1993 was repealed with effect from this date.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Reporting Act 2013, Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993.
Presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated and all values are rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable). The functional currency is New Zealand dollars (‘NZD’).
Use of estimate and judgements
In preparing the financial statements, management has to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions. Judgements, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and various other factors, including expectations about future events, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below.
(i) Impairment of goodwill and other assets
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(f). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions. Refer to note 16 for details of these assumptions and the potential impact of changes to the assumptions. All other assets are reviewed for indicators or object evidence of impairment. If indicators or objective evidence exists, the recoverable amount is reviewed.
(ii) Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition involves certain revenue streams being recognised based on the stage of completion. This is discussed in more detail in note 3.
(iii) Doubtful debts
In providing for doubtful debts, management have used assumptions and estimates. The actual outcome may differ from the reported position.
(c) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the exposure or right to variable returns from involvement with the entity and the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
The Group recognises the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. Goodwill is measured as the excess cost of the acquisition over the recognised assets and liabilities. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), the amount is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued...
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. 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 over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(d) SALES TAX
The Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Cash Flows have been prepared so that all components are stated exclusive of sales tax, except where sales tax is not recoverable. All items in the Statement of Financial Position are stated net of sales tax with the exception of receivables and payables, which include sales tax invoiced.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
Sales tax includes Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT) where applicable.
(e) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($) (the ‘presentation currency’), which is the Company’s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency 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 year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within net finance costs.
The Group translates the results of its foreign operations from their functional currencies to the presentation currency of the Group using the closing exchange rate at balance date for assets and liabilities and the average monthly exchange rates for income and expenses. The difference arising from the translation of the Statement of Financial Position at the closing rates and the Statement of Comprehensive
Income at the average rates is recorded within the foreign currency translation reserve.
(f) IMPAIRMENT
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or the asset’s value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(g) LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. Management determines the classifications of its financial assets at initial recognition. The Group’s loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise ‘trade and other receivables’ and cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in Note 14.
(h) PROVISIONS
The Group recognises a provision when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(i) STANDARDS OR INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND RELEVANT TO THE GROUP
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued a number of standards, amendments and interpretations which are not yet effective and which may have an impact on the Group’s financial statements. These are detailed below. The Group has not applied these in preparing these financial statements and will apply each standard in the period in which it becomes mandatory:
(a) NZ IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement
This standard addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets, financial liabilities, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting, and will be effective for the year ended 30 September 2019.
(b) NZ IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard establishes the framework for revenue recognition, and will be effective for the year ended 30 September 2019.
(c) NZ IFRS 16 – Leases
This standard requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting the future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for substantively all lease contracts, and will be effective for the year ended 30 September 2020.
The Group has not yet assessed the potential impact of the above standards.

2 OPERATING SEGMENTS
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments, are aggregated for disclosure purposes where they have similar products and services, production processes, customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments.
The Group currently operates in two business segments, utility billing software and airport management software, as at 30 September 2016. These segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Board (Chief Operating Decision Maker) to make strategic decisions.
The assets and liabilities of the Group are reported to and reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in total and are not allocated by business segment. Therefore, operating segment assets and liabilities are not disclosed.

3 REVENUE
Revenues are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on the historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
SOFTWARE LICENCE FEE REVENUE
Revenue from licence fees due to software sales is recognised on the transferring of significant risks and rewards of control of the licensed software under agreement between the Company and the customer.
IMPLEMENTATION AND CONSULTING SERVICES REVENUE FOR LICENSED SOFTWARE
Revenue from implementation and consulting services attributable to licensed software is recognised based on the stage of completion, typically in accordance with the achievement of contract milestones and/or hours expended, and forecast.
POST SALES CUSTOMER SUPPORT REVENUE FOR LICENSED SOFTWARE
Post sales customer support (‘PSCS’) revenue for licensed software comprises fees for ongoing upgrades, minor software revisions and helpline support. PSCS revenue is allocated between annual fees for helpline support and fees for rights of access to ongoing upgrades and minor software patches. At each reporting date, the unearned portion of the revenue is assessed and deferred to be recognised over the period of service.
PROJECT SERVICES REVENUE
Revenue from project services agreements is based on the stage of completion, typically in accordance with the achievement of contract milestones and/or hours expended, and forecast.
DEFERRED REVENUES
Consideration received prior to the goods or service being rendered is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as deferred revenues.
ACCRUED INCOME
Revenue for which goods or services have been rendered but invoices have not been issued is recognised within the Statement of Financial Position as accrued income and included within trade and other receivables.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. When a grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

6 NET FINANCE COST
Finance income comprises interest income, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, foreign currency gains, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency losses, changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, impairment losses recognised on the financial assets (except for trade receivables), and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

7 INCOME TAX EXPENSES
In the Statement of Comprehensive Income the income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related benefits will be realised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.
Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. The Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders.

9 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year, excluding shares purchased and held as treasury shares.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise performance share rights grnted to employees. Potential ordinary share are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease EPS or increase the profit per share.

| Basic and diluted earnings per share (dollars) | 0.13 | 0.13 |
10 CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or transferred outside the Group.

Ordinary shares are fully paid and have no par value. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company, and rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

11 EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN
The Group operates an equity based share rights scheme for selected senior employees. If the unlisted performance share rights vest, ordinary shares will be issued to the employees at or around the vesting date. The issue price of the shares was determined by reference to the 10 trading day volume weighted average price of shares traded on the NZX immediately following the announcement of the annual financial results to which the commencement date of the share rights performance period relates.
Vesting is conditional on the completion of the necessary years’ service to the vesting date and performance goals over the vesting period.
The share rights scheme is an equity settled scheme and is measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate that the shares will vest. These options were valued using the Black Scholes valuation model and the option cost for the year ending 31 March 2016 of $61,000 has been recognised in the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income for that period (2015: Nil).
Details of the unlisted performance share rights scheme are:

|---|---|
| Issueprice | 2.2441 |
| Vestingdate | 31 January2019 |

14 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
The Group recognises trade and other receivables initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established 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. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced through the use of a provision account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision account for receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

15 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
In the Statement of Financial Position property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their original costs and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
-
Office equipment, fixtures and fittings 7 years
-
• Computer equipment 3 to 7 years • Leasehold improvements Terms of lease
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

16 GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment.

| Goodwill allocated to Airport | 2,900 | 2,900 |
| Net book amount | 40,277 | 40,277 |
The goodwill arising out of the acquisition in 2012 has been allocated to the two cash generating units (CGUs) identified within the Group, namely the Utility and Airport operating units.
The tests conducted for impairment on these CGUs have been based on value-in-use calculations using projections derived from the Group’s five year forecast. The forecast has been based on management’s consideration of past performance and its assessment of future expectations.
In performing the value-in-use calculations for the CGUs the Group has applied a post-tax discount rate of 10.7% (2015: 13.0%). The discount rate used reflects specific risks associated with business conducted within the CGU, including those risks associated with the countries in which the Group operates. The growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the 5 year forecast is 2.5% (2015: 2.5%). This growth rate is consistent with forecast conducted in similar industry reports.
During the year ended 30 September 2016 no impairment arose as a result of the review of goodwill. The recoverable amounts of the two CGUs are greater than the carrying amounts and, based on sensitivity analysis performed, no foreseeable changes in the assumptions would cause the carrying amounts of the CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.

17 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
BRANDS
Brands are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are held at cost and are not amortised, but are subject to an annual impairment test consistent with the methodology outlined for goodwill above.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSET
Other intangible assets consist of internal use software, acquired source code, and customer relationships. They have finite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
AMORTISATION
Except for goodwill and brands, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
Acquired source code 10 years
-
• Customer relationships 10 years • Internal use software 3 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

21 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(a) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and it arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables from customers in the normal course of business.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The creditworthiness of a customer or counter party is determined by a number of qualitative and quantitative factors. Qualitative factors include external credit ratings (where available), payment history and strategic importance of customer or counter party. Quantitative factors include transaction size, net assets of customer or counter party, and ratio analysis on liquidity, cash flow and profitability.
In relation to trade receivables, it is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on terms are subject to credit verification on an ongoing basis with the intention of minimising bad debts. The nature of the Group’s trade receivables is represented by regular turnover of product and billing of customers based on the Group’s contractual payment terms.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure as summarised above.
Refer to Note 14 for an aging profile for the Group’s trade receivables at reporting date.
(b) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they become due and payable. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they become due and payable, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group has sufficient cash to meet its requirements in the foreseeable future. The Group has no debt.
Working capital is supported by a NZD$3.1m (New Zealand) and a AUD$0.6m (Australian) working capital facility, both of which were unused as at 30 September 2016 (2015: $nil). Included in working capital is deferred revenues of $8.5m (2015: $5.6m) which are not repayable in cash.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The following table details the Group’s contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements, as at the reporting date:
