Notes to the Half-Year Financial Statements

31 December 2016

1. Basis of Preparation of the Half-Year Financial Report

This condensed consolidated half-year financial report does not include all the notes of the type usually included in an annual financial report.

It is recommended that this half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016 and any public announcements made by Hansen Technologies Limited during the half-year in accordance with any continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

Hansen Technologies Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The half-year financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors as at the date of the Directors' report.

(a) Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated half-year financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134, as appropriate for for-profit entities, ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .

The half-year financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets as described in the accounting policies.

The accounting policies applied in this half-year financial report are consistent with those of the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016 and the corresponding half-year.

(b) Rounding amounts

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 , the amounts in the directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar (where indicated).

(c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The following standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. The Directors’ assessment of the impact of these standards and interpretations is set out below.

(i) AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five step approach is as follows:

• Step 1: Identify the contracts with the customer;

• Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations;

Page 11

Hansen Technologies

• Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price; and

• Step 5: Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

AASB 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 may cause changes to the timing and amount of revenue recorded in the financial statements as well as additional disclosures. The impact if any of AASB 15 has not yet been quantified.

(ii) AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 makes significant revisions to the classification and measurement of financial assets, reducing the number of categories and simplifying the measurement choices, including the removal of impairment testing of assets measured at fair value. The amortised cost model is available for debt assets meeting both business model and cash flow characteristics tests. All investments in equity instruments using AASB 9 are to be measured at fair value.

AASB 9 amends measurement rules for financial liabilities that the entity elects to measure at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income.

Impairment of assets is now based on expected losses in AASB 9 which requires entities to measure:

• the 12-month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

• full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. While the group has yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the classification and measurement of financial assets, the group does not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets.

(iii) AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 will replace AASB 117 Leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition, right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis, in which case if the underlying asset is:

• investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140: Investment Property to the right-of-use asset; or

Page 12

Hansen Technologies

• property, plant or equipment, the lessee can elect to apply the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment; and

• lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made.

AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, under AASB 16 a lessor would continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases subject to whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and would account for each type of lease in a manner consistent with the current approach under AASB 117.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the Group’s accounting for its operating leases, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

Other standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. When adopted, these standards and interpretations are likely to impact on the financial information presented, however the assessment of impact has not yet been completed.

		Half-year to Dec 2016 2015 $'000 $'000
Dividends paid during the half-year: - 4 cent final dividend paid 30 September 20161 - 3 cent final dividendpaid 30 September 2015		7,252 5,307
		7,252 5,307
Dividends declared after the half year and not recognised: - 3 cent interim dividend (3 cents fully franked) - 3 cent interim dividend(2.5 cents fullyfranked,0.5 cents unfranked)		5,450 5,318

1The final dividend paid of 4 cents per share, franked to 4 cents, comprised of a regular dividend of 3 cents per share, together with a special dividend of 1 cent per share.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

At 30 June 2016, included in ‘Other Payables’ was a liability for deferred consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis in relation to a business combination dated 1 May 2015. This amount was settled on 1 July 2016 by the Group issuing 921,290 shares to the value of $3,410,217. At 31 December 2016, there are no assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

Asset and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value have been determined by the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Input other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

At 30 June 2016, deferred consideration liabilities totalling $3,410,217 were measured and recognised at fair value and determined to be a recurring Level 2 financial liability. This was subsequently settled in full on 1 July 2016.

(ii) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The deferred consideration (referred to above) was based on management’s best and most probable estimate of the business performance targets. In determining the fair value of the deferred consideration, management considered the probability of business targets being met by comparison to budget. A fair value was placed on the option that the seller has to receive, either cash or shares in Hansen Technologies Ltd at a pre-determined price using the Black-Scholes model.

Page 14

Hansen Technologies

The entire deferred consideration payment was dependent on performance criteria being met. Under the arrangement the minimum deferred consideration amount was $nil and the maximum was dependent on the movement in the Hansen share price from the pre-determined price per share (which was included in the contract) and the value as at the date the amount became payable.

9. Business Combinations

(1) Acquisition of PPL Solutions LLC

The Company’s subsidiary, Hansen Technologies North America, Inc. acquired 100% of the share capital of PPL Solutions LLC with effect from 1 July 2016. PPL Solutions is a strategically attractive business that is strongly aligned with the Company’s key acquisition criteria. It sits within our core billing & customer care business, owns the intellectual property in its billing software and extends the Company’s footprint into a new market segment in the US.

Details of the purchase consideration:

	$’000
Cash paid	14,298
Totalpurchase consideration	14,298

Assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the business combination were:

	Fair value

Add:

Totalpurchase consideration	14,298

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of PPL Solutions LLC due to the combination of the consideration paid for the business and the net assets acquired, less values attributed to other intangibles in the form of customer contracts and technology. The value of goodwill represents the future benefit arising from the expected future earnings, synergies and personnel assumed via the acquisition. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes in the US.

(a) Initial accounting

Both the net asset value and the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets are still preliminary. In particular, the working capital adjustments are still being finalised and may be subject to change. The acquisition accounting will be finalised in the financial report for the year ending 30 June 2017 which is 12 months from the acquisition date.

None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

It is impracticable to disclose the results of DST Billing Solutions as though the acquisition date had occurred at 1 July 2016 as the historical financial information for the four months prior to acquisition of the standalone business is not available.

Purchase consideration – cash outflow:

	$’000

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Members of Hansen Technologies Ltd

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of Hansen Technologies Ltd and controlled entities, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the Directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the period's end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Hansen Technologies Ltd and controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
