| Explanatory information 2.6 Overview The Half Year ended 31 December 2019 marked the first full period of activities of the current executive team of Vection Technologies Ltd (“VR1” or the “Company”). During the period the Company: - Focussed on development and commercialisation activities of real-time technologies for industrial companies’ digital transformation, including the convergence of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and internet of things (IoT) and computer aided design (CAD). - Significantly reduced its net cash outflow from operating activities compared to the prior corresponding period by ~58%. - Posted an underlying positive EBITDA after adding back several non-cash expenses recorded in the company’s account (1H FY20 EBITDA: ~$71k), despite significant upfront investments in its proprietary real- time technologies, expected to be commercialised during 2020. Underlying EBITDA is an unaudited, non-AIFRS financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards� |
In the lead up to the launch, Vection expanded its value-added resellers and distribution network in Italy, Canada, and Northern Europe, leveraging its unrivalled industrial network and client access to maximise returns for all stakeholders. The Company’s global distribution and partner network of 10 partners, will enable the continued collaboration to maximise market-penetration during calendar year 2020, with access to over 9,000 established European clients, including Altea Federation’s Gucci, Ferrari, Maserati, Duracell.
During the period ended 31 December 2019, the Company took a significant step forward in its global commercialisation strategy in the fast-growing real-time 3D, VR and AR technologies industry, with the launch of the FrameS SaaS platform.
The Company also announced significant moves into new markets and new technological integrations.
Revenue
Overall revenue from ordinary activities ($2,072,758) was up 329% on the prior period (2018: $478,597) mainly as a result of the Vection Italy operations.
Expenditure
Total expenditure from ordinary activities ($2,492,019) was significantly higher (139%) than prior period (2018: $1,043,530) but as above this is proportionately lower than the uplift in revenue.
Accumulated Losses
Accumulated losses of $15,935,828 are largely attributed to the historical real estate, finance and settlements discontinued operations, sold during calendar year 2017 (previous executive team). There is no obligation to cover these accumulated losses in the future.
Outlook
The Company is accelerating its overall evolution to a recurring revenue business model. Supported by a global distribution footprint and unrivalled client and partner access, Vection is confident in continuing its growth trajectory during calendar year 2020.
The establishment of a global SaaS product suite of real-time technologies for companies’ digital transformation continues to be paramount in the Company’s growth strategy across multiple market segments and areas of application. The Company continues to evaluate strong value accretive software integration opportunities in the virtual reality CAD market segment and will update the market in due course.

EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 20 February 2020, the Company has sought a trading halt and subsequently a suspension in the trading of its securities on the ASX pending a proposed material transaction. As at the date of this Report, the Company is yet to advise whether this proposed transaction will proceed.
Apart from the above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Other than disclosed elsewhere in this Directors report, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group which occurred during the period.

Other than information disclosed elsewhere in this interim report, information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this Directors' Report because the Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

The half-yearly report of Vection Technologies Ltd (formerly known as ServTech Global Holdings Limited) (the Company, Group or VR1 ) for the period ended December 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 February 2020.
The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated on 14 September 2016 and domiciled in Australia.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ report.
(a) Basis of preparation
The principle accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the interim financial report are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.
(i) Statement of compliance
This interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting (AASB 134) and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as fill an understanding of the financial performance and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 annual financial report.
(ii) Basis of preparation
The interim financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as disclosed in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2019 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019.
(iii) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the period ended 31 December 2019 the Group recorded a loss of $280,714 (2018: $374,758), negative cash flows from operating activities of $238,967 (2018: $572,241) and a current net asset position of $359,056 as at 31 December 2019 (2018: $1,040,515).
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group is continually assessing its ongoing cash requirements. As part of this process the Group maintains a strict internal cash flow management process which is based on numerous revenue and other assumptions. Should these assumptions not be achieved the directors believe the Group will reduce the cost base in line with revenue as required and attempt to raise additional capital or enter other funding arrangements as required.
The Directors are satisfied they will be able to raise additional working capital as required and thus it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Directors have considered the following matters:
-
Maintenance of low-cost structure in the lead up to revenue generation from operations;
-
Ability to raise further capital based on historical success and an available capital placement facility;
-
The recent launch of its FrameS platform which is anticipated to generate significant revenues;
-
Net assets of $3,813,571 as at 31 December 2019.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(iii) Going Concern (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the reasons outlined above.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
(b) Segment Information
Operating Segments – AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This is consistent to the approach used for the comparative period. Operating segments are reported in a uniform manner to which is internally provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate to transactions with other Group components. Each operating segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
The Board monitors the operations of the Company based on 2 segments; its IT development division and its outsourced services division.
The financial results of each segment are reported to the board to assess the performance of the Group. The Board has determined that strategic decision making is facilitated by evaluation of the operations of the legal parent and subsidiaries which represent the operational performance of the Group’s revenues and the research and development activities as well as the finance, treasury, compliance and funding elements of the Group.
(c) Estimates and judgements
The preparation of the interim financial report requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a degree of judgement or complexity in the preparing the annual financial report. Facts and circumstances may come to light after the event which may have significantly varied the assessment used which result in a materially different value being recorded at the time of preparing this interim financial report.
Deferred tax assets - The Group has not recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses or timing differences. These amounts have not been recognised given the recognition requirements of AASB 112 Income Taxes .
Share-based payments - 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 either the Binomial or BlackScholes 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. Refer to notes 10 and 11 for details of inputs utilised in calculating the fair value of the equity instrument.
Estimation of useful lives of assets - The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Estimates and judgements (continued)
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 2(r). 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 pre-tax discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
(d) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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 deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(e) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period.
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.
(d) New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory
In the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the Directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019.
It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies as a result of the adoption of new and revised accounting standards. The Directors have reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2019. The Directors have decided against early adoption of any new Standards and Interpretations. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies as a result of accounting standards issued not yet effective.

(i) The lease liabilities are related to the Rights of Use for assets acquired by the Company through lease agreements for its Italian office. In calculating these amounts, the Company applied to the lease contract an Incremental Borrowing Rate within a range of 1.26% to 2.14%.
(ii) Due to the Company’s change in direction, some of the leased offices have not been used for the operations of the Company. As a result, a provision for an onerous lease has been recognised to reflect the present value of future lease costs which are required to be made in respect of these offices. The benefits expected to be generated by the lease contract are outweighed by the future costs.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)
(1) DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS
The Group’s executive directors examine the Group’s performance from a core operations perspective and have identified two reportable segments of its continuing business, being IT development and outsourced services.
(2) SEGMENT REVENUE AND RESULTS
Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 1. Segment profit represents the profit before tax earned by each segment without allocation of central corporate and administration costs, employee benefits, depreciation and amortisation, and finance costs.
This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
(3) SEGMENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than cash, GST receivables, office equipment, and certain other receivables. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments.
All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than corporate creditors. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to segment assets
16 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Group is in the process of de-registering all dormant group entities related to the legacy real estate business which the Company previously operated. These entities are considered discontinued operations. The following is an analysis of the results of the discontinued operations for the financial year.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
Phone: 6380 2555 Fax: 9381 1122
To the Members of Vection Technologies Ltd
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Vection Technologies Ltd (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled 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 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 2019 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 Vection Technologies Ltd, 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.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the halfyear financial report of Vection Technologies Ltd and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without modifying our opinion above, we draw attention to Note 1(a)(iii) to the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $280,714, negative cash flows from operating activities of $238,966 and has a current net asset position of $359,056 as at 31 December 2019. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a)(iii) indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
