Chairman’s letter
Dear fellow shareholders
The six months ended 31 December 2020 saw your company deliver a highly satisfactory 461% increase in net profit to $29.4 million thanks largely to the strong performance of its core investment portfolio which includes listed and unlisted technology companies at all stages of the business life cycle in Australia, the USA and Israel.
Net Tangible Assets (NTA) after tax and fees was 42.1 cents per share, up 24.6% from an NTA of 33.8 cents per share as at 30 June 2020. TEK’s NTA continued to improve during January 2021 standing at 44.4 cents per share at month’s end.
There were a number of contributors to TEK’s NTA growth over the period, including from its largest holding, Zip Co Limited (Z1P), which continued to expand its reach in both the Australian and overseas Buy Now Pay Later markets. Other outstanding share price performances in the TEK portfolio included Calix Limited (CXL) and Dubber Corporation Limited (DUB).
The reporting period also saw a number of companies in which TEK held a pre-IPO interest come to market at substantial premiums. These included Credit Clear Limited (CCR), Doctor Care Anywhere Group (DOC), Cleanspace Holdings Limited (CSX), Cluey Limited (CLU) and Aussie Broadband Limited (ABB). This positive trend continued into January 2021 with the listings of Pentanet (5GG) and Booktopia Group Limited (BLG).
Since its inception in January 2017, TEK has delivered 102% growth in NTA or an average of 26% each year, significantly outperforming the share market. This consistent track record was no doubt a key factor in TEK being able to successfully complete a $37m capital raise in November 2020 boosting its capacity to take advantage of the many investment opportunities which its extensive networks continue to uncover.
I will provide a detailed commentary on the major listed and unlisted companies in the TEK portfolio in my next Chairman’s Update in March 2021 after the conclusion of the current reporting season.
Yours sincerely,

5. Fair value measurements
To reflect the source of valuation inputs used when determining the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities, the Group uses the fair value hierarchy prescribed in AASB 13 Fair value measurement:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: valuation techniques using market observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: valuation techniques using non-market observable data
The Group invests in both listed and unlisted investments, in order to execute its investment mandate and maximise total returns to shareholders. Unlisted investments include seed, start-up and early stage businesses and private equity businesses. For these unlisted investments, the Group invests in financial instruments, such as loan notes, derivatives and unlisted equities that are not quoted in an active market.
The fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities is as follows:
| December June |
|
|---|---|
| 2020 2020 |
|
| Assets measured at fair value Level 1: Listed equities Level 2: Unlisted financial instruments Level 3: Unlisted financial instruments (unlisted equity, loan notes, derivatives,fixed income securities) |
98,640,215 47,963,147 - 146,739 36,035,829 27,156,777 |
| Total financial assets | 134,676,044 75,266,663 |
| Total current Total non-current |
107,258,137 48,264,994 27,417,907 27,001,669 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value Level 1: - Level 2: - Level 3: - |
- - - - - - |
| Total financial liabilities | - - |
Unlisted financial assets are valued at fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair value measurement , applying the principles in ‘International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines’ .
The Group classifies the fair value of listed equities that are actively trading in an active market at 31 December 2020 as Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available. If the Group can determine the fair value of the investment by utilising observable market data as significant inputs, then the fair value of the instrument is classified as Level 2.
If this is not the case, the Group uses a market-based valuation technique to determine fair value. The fair value of these investments are classified as Level 3. We refer to 30 June 2020 Annual Report for further information on the market based valuation techniques adopted.

Notes to the financial statements continued
5. Fair value measurements (continued)
For assets and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole at the end of each reporting period.
Reconciliation of recurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 is as follows:
| Financial assets: | Loan Unlisted Promissory Contingent Fixed income Total notes equities note consideration securities |

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Members of Thorney Technologies Ltd
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Thorney Technologies Ltd (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and 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.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Company is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half–year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Company, 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.
