HALLENSTEIN GLASSON HOLDINGS LIMITED 

 

RESULTS FOR FULL YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2021 

The Company advises that Group sales for the 12 months to 1 August 2021 were $350.76 million which 

were +21.9% up on the prior year ($287.76 million).  

The audited net profit after tax for the 

12 months was $33.32 million, an increase of 20.0% on the prior 

corresponding period ($27.77 million).  

Overall the sales growth experienced compared to the prior corresponding period was pleasing in an 

extremely challenging environment.  All brands experienced strong growth as stores reopened from the 

2020 lockdowns, with the Groups inventory management

 ensuring that our stores were well stocked with 

product the customers wanted.  Online sales have continued to grow throughout the year and have been 

supported by the release of the Glassons App and the establishment of a USA website to sell direct to US 

based customers.  The increased sales on 

the prior year also compares to the periods where stores were 

closed in 2020. 

The Gross Margin declined during the year due to a number of factors including unfavourable exchange 

rates with the US Dollar in both New Zealand and Australia as well as challenges with freight costs 

resulting from the

 ongoing global impact of COVID‐19. During the financial period additional controls 

were implemented post the lockdowns including reducing operating costs, claiming of Australian 

government subsidies, working with our suppliers on payment terms where appropriate, placing capital 

projects on hold, and negotiating rent relief with landlords. This resulted in costs 

being well controlled. 

As in the previous financial year the Group continues to take steps to preserve liquidity, most importantly 

managing stock levels and costs across the business.  During the financial year a number of rental 

negotiations were settled with landlords for the previous lockdown periods. There are still a number

 of 

negotiations ongoing for these and the more recent lockdowns. 

 

Glassons – New Zealand & Australia 

Sales in New Zealand for the year were $119.91 million, an increase of 16.88% on the prior year.  Net 

profit after tax was $11.55 million, a decrease of 5.3% on the prior corresponding period 

($12.20 million, 

included $1.01 million gain on sale).  

Over the last year the Nelson store was refurbished in June, and the Sylvia Park, Auckland store was 

extended and refurbished in July.  The outlet store in Onehunga, Auckland was also refurbished in July.  

 
Sales in Australia were $133.65 million which was an increase of 38.23% on the corresponding period.  

Net profit after tax was $16.42 million, an increase of 75.5% on the prior corresponding period ($9.36 

million). 

During the year, one new store was opened in Broadway, Sydney. The Chatswood, Sydney store was 

closed

 and re‐opened in a new location and the Chermside, Brisbane store was refurbished. In July, a 

store in Greensborough, Melbourne was closed. The business continues to look for opportunities for new 

stores in Australia with a number of sites currently under review, to support planned growth.  A store in 

Marion, Adelaide has been opened post year end in September. 

During the year additional space was taken adjacent to the current Fulfilment Centre in Sydney to 

increase capacity and ensure that the significant growth in online sales was adequately supported.  

With the large increases in online sales there has been significant investment in digital including the 

launch of an omni‐channel Glassons app in October which has seen more than 300,000 downloads, and a 

specific Glassons USA website to serve our growing US customer base. The sales to US customers for the 

completed financial year were fulfilled from both New Zealand 

and Australia, but are presently fulfilled 

just from Australia. 

Glassons continues to bring the latest trends that customers want to the market through stores and 

online. The team have found new ways of working to ensure they are agile as well as maintaining a focus 

on sustainability. Glassons carries on the

 focus on putting the customer first by using digital solutions to 

engage and listen. This helps Glassons to maintain a strong brand position in both established markets 

and new markets.  

 

Hallenstein Brothers 

Sales for the 12 month period were $97.20 million (including Australia), an increase of 9.86% on the prior

 

period. Net profit after tax was $4.82 million, an increase of 7.5% on the prior corresponding period 

($4.48 million). 

Stores in Napier and Taupo were refreshed during the year and new fixtures to better display product 

was rolled out to key stores.   

Sales showed a promising increase compared to the 

prior year and it was pleasing to see growth in casual 

categories, which largely offset the move away in menswear from more formal dressing. Covid‐19 has 

been the trigger for a significant shift in consumer habits with a far more casual approach taken to what 

would traditionally be worn in

 the office and events, and the business has been able to pivot and adapt 

accordingly.  Casual categories continue to outperform over the financial year with the team continuing 

to focus on current trends and must have products. 

With product quality improved with sustainability in mind, product continues to be essential 

to our 

performance. Customer service and engagement continues to be integral to our success with new service 

training programs introduced and better web site design.  

 
E‐Commerce 

Online sales grew over the period by 31.27% against the prior year with significant growth experienced 

during periods of store closures. Online sales now represent 24.04% of total sales for the full financial 

year, up from 21.88% in the prior year.  The growth in online sales have continued into

 the new financial 

year being ahead of last year, again supported by COVID‐19 enforced store closures across the network.  

Investment continues in digital to ensure we are ahead of the market in our functionality and technology 

as well as our web fulfillment in Distribution Centers. There is also focus 

on digital marketing and 

customer experience to continue to accelerate our online sales growth.  

 

Dividend 

The Directors consider it prudent to defer the declaration of the final dividend until Auckland and the 

Australian states of NSW and VIC have come out of their respective lockdowns and retail stores can trade 

again. 

 

Future Outlook 

Following New Zealand moving to Level 4 at 11:59pm on Tuesday 17 August, all Hallenstein Brothers and 

Glassons stores in New Zealand were closed.  On Wednesday 8 September, all stores outside of Auckland 

were reopened as the rest of New Zealand entered Level 2. Auckland stores remain 

closed until further 

notice in line with current Government regulations. Twelve stores in Victoria and Fourteen stores in New 

South Wales Australia have been closed since restrictions were placed on the states earlier in the year.  

Stores will be re‐opened in line with the various State Government guidelines.  

The first

 eight weeks of the new financial year have seen Group sales decline ‐18.90% on the prior year, 

this has been driven predominantly by multiple store closures across both New Zealand and Australia in 

response to the recent COVID‐19 outbreaks in both countries. With a date for reopening the Auckland 

stores still uncertain, and with NSW and VIC expecting to open in October and November respectively, 

the Group anticipates profitability in the current year will be adversely impacted compared to the period 

just completed.  We will continue to be cautious in regard to the future impacts of COVID‐19. 

An update

 will be provided at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in December 2021.

Historical cost convention


These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of land

and buildings and financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) measured at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS 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.

Property, plant and equipment: The Group has assessed whether the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment

has suffered any impairment since they were acquired. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units (at a subsidiary

level) have been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates and

projections of future operating performance.

Inventory provision: The Group assess the inventory provision using management judgement which considers a range of

factors including the review of historical data, the age of inventory and current selling price trends to determine the

appropriateness of the provision.

Revaluation of Land and Buildings: The fair value of the Group’s land and buildings is determined by the Board following

an independent valuation undertaken at least every three years. The basis of the valuation is assessed within a range

indicated by two valuation approaches: discounted cash flow analysis and an income capitalisation approach. The key

assumptions are disclosed in note 4.2. The Valuers have reported on the basis of 'market uncertainty' meaning that there

remains uncertainty in the market because of the longer term economic impacts of COVID-19 but not to the extent that there

is a "material valuation uncertainty" as in the prior year. The Valuers commented in the valuation report that, for the avoidance

of doubt, the inclusion of the 'market uncertainty' declaration does not mean that the valuation cannot be relied upon. Rather,

it has been used in order to be clear and transparent with all parties that, the current extraordinary circumstances, there is a

higher degree of uncertainty than would otherwise be the case. Further, the Valuers continue to state that values may change

more rapidly and significantly than during standard market conditions, and recommend their valuations are reviewed

periodically to reflect the duration and severity of impaction COVID-19 has on New Zealand's economy.

Revaluation of Investment Property: The fair value of the Group’s investment property is determined by the Board following

an independent valuation undertaken annually. The basis of the valuation is assessed within a range indicated by two

valuation approaches: discounted cash flow analysis and an income capitalisation approach. The key assumptions are

disclosed in note 4.3. The Valuers have reported on the basis of 'market uncertainty' meaning that there remains uncertainty

in the market because of the longer term economic impacts of COVID-19 but not to the extent that there is a "material valuation

uncertainty" as in the prior year. The Valuers commented in the valuation report that, for the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion

of the 'market uncertainty' declaration does not mean that the valuation cannot be relied upon. Rather, it has been used in

order to be clear and transparent with all parties that, the current extraordinary circumstances, there is a higher degree of

uncertainty than would otherwise be the case. Further, the Valuers continue to state that values may change more rapidly

and significantly than during standard market conditions, and recommend their valuations are reviewed periodically to reflect

the duration and severity of impaction COVID-19 has on New Zealand's economy.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s operations are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which it operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in New

Zealand dollars, which is the Group’s presentational currency.

Transactions and balances

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation

currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

and

(b) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates.


All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.3 Significant Events and Transactions

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. COVID-19 has impacted the health

and wellbeing of people around the world and in turn the outbreak and the associated restrictions put in place to fight the virus have

brought disruptions and uncertainties to businesses and economies globally.


The New Zealand Government’s overall public health strategy in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting New Zealand was

elimination with the overall goal to stop community transmission in New Zealand.


During the financial year ended 1 August 2021, the Group has been impacted by various restrictions put in place by both the New

Zealand and Australian Governments, resulting in store closures for periods of time aligned to Government’s requirements. The

Group has abided by rules & regulations put in place to ensure the ongoing safety of employees and customers.


Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Group’s focus has been on remaining agile and meeting the needs of our employees and

customers. During periods of store closures, an increased focus has been placed on the e-commerce side of the business,

resulting in significant year on year growth in online sales. The Group has worked closely with its suppliers to ensure inventory is

well controlled and has worked with landlords to share the impact the store closures have on both parties.


Certain key judgements and estimates are applied in the annual financial statements. The Directors have assessed the impact of

COVID-19 on these judgements and estimates and concluded that limited changes are necessary. The following key matters were

considered and undertaken with regards to the financial impact of COVID-19 on the 1 August 2021 consolidated financial

statements:


– Colliers International, Fordbaker Valuation and TelferYoung Property Valuers & Advisors undertook valuations of the Groups

owned land and buildings as at 1 August 2021. Despite all owned land & buildings being valued in the prior financial year, due to

the conclusions by all valuers of a “material valuation uncertainty”, it was deemed appropriate to have all properties valued again

as at 1 August 2021. All valuers noted the increased “market uncertainty”, however the risk was downgraded from the “material

valuation uncertainty noted in the prior year. This gives the Group greater certainty of the valuation of its owned land & buildings

as at 1 August 2021. Further details are included in note 4.2 Property, plant & equipment, and note 4.3 Investment property.


– As part of its response to COVID-19, the New Zealand and Australian Governments provided wage subsidies over a specific

calendar period to eligible businesses to allow those businesses to retain employees when they were closed or suffered reduced

trading due to COVID-19. The Group has applied NZ IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government

Assistance in accounting for the funds received from the COVID-19 Wage Subsidy. Government wage subsidies received have

been accounted for as government grants and offset against the expenses to which they relate in the same period as they are

incurred as disclosed in note 2.2.


– Given the impact of COVID-19 the Group performed impairment testing at a store level to ensure there was no risk to the

recoverability of the carrying value of fixed assets and right of use assets. The Group used discounted cash flow forecasts as

required. Following a review of store performance and consideration of other impairment indicators, the Group has identified

three stores where indicators of impairment exist as at 1 August 2021.Further impairment testing was performed with a write down

recognised against the associated stores right-of-use assets. Refer to notes 4.1 and 4.2. No material impairment was identified.


– Due to the ongoing restrictions in both New South Wales and Victoria, and with the Level 4 lockdown in New Zealand subsequent

to year end, the Group assessed its inventory and identified additional provisions were required where items were expected to be

sold at below cost. This additional provision has been recorded in cost of sales in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and

makes up part of the stock obsolescence provision as shown in note 3.2.


Since the initial impact of COVID-19 the business has taken and continues to take a number of steps to preserve liquidity including:

x Monitoring closely the planned stock intake and aligning it with the sales demand.

x Reducing operating costs.

x Supplier payment terms have been amended. The impact of extended payment terms in 2020 has resulted in an increase

in payments to suppliers in 2021.

x Applying for the New Zealand Government funded wage subsidy and Australian Jobkeeper payments.

x Placing capital projects on hold where appropriate.

x Rent relief was applied for from all landlords for the periods the stores were unable to trade. At 1 August 2021 there are

still negotiations to conclude due to the ongoing disruptions throughout the year.

x Negotiating with landlords to align appropriate arrangements to reflect the changing market conditions.

x Directors, Executives and Leadership Teams agreed to a short-term reduction of their salaries in 2020.

x No interim dividend was declared in April 2020. The interim dividend was reassessed after the end of the Groups previous

financial year and was paid on 4 September 2020.

x The announcement of the final dividend for the year ended 1 August 2021 has been delayed while the impact of the

current restrictions in both New Zealand and Australia are assessed.

The above actions have resulted in a strong liquidity position as disclosed in note 3.1 Cash and cash equivalents.

2. Performance

2.1 Segment information


Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors. The

Board of Directors is the chief operating decision maker and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing

performance of the operating segments and they delegate that authority through the Group Chief Executive Officer.



The Board of Directors considers the business from both a product and geographic perspective as follows:

- Hallenstein Bros Limited (New Zealand) and Hallenstein Brothers Australia Limited (Australia)

- Glassons Limited (New Zealand)

- Glassons Australia Limited (Australia)

- Hallenstein Properties Limited (New Zealand) (Property)

The reportable segments derive their revenues primarily from the retail sale of clothing. The revenues from external parties reported

to the Board of Directors are measured in a manner consistent with that in the statement of comprehensive income. There are no

significant revenues derived from a single external customer.

2.2 Income and expenses


Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services, excluding

Goods and Services Tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.


Revenue is recognised as follows:



Sales of goods - retail

Sales of goods are recognised when a Group entity has delivered a product to the customer. For in-store sales, control

passes to the customer at point of sale. For online sales, the order and the delivery to the customer are considered to

comprise a single performance obligation, therefore control passes to the customer when the goods are delivered. Retail

sales are usually in cash, credit card, debit card or by various pay later services. The recorded revenue is the gross amount

of sale (excluding GST), including credit card fees and service fees payable for the transaction. Such fees are included in

selling expenses.


The Group offers customers the option of purchasing gift cards. This is considered deferred revenue until such time where

the customer redeems the gift card on future purchases. A contract liability for the purchase of a gift card is recognised at the

time of the sale. Revenue is recognised when the gift card is redeemed or when they expire. As at 1 August 2021, the gift

card liability balance recognised under “Other payables” was $3.051M (2020: $2.342M, 2019: $2.017M). $1.053M of the

opening balance was redeemed or expired in the current year.


Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

Rental income

Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives) is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.3 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the balance date but not distributed at balance date.






All dividends paid were fully imputed. Supplementary dividends of $373,763 (2020: $175,065) were paid to shareholders not resident

in New Zealand for tax purposes for which the Group received a foreign investor tax credit.

2.4 Earnings per share


Basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the

weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares

issued during the period.




Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit after tax of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares

outstanding during the year.


Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting profit after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding

to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There are no options convertible into shares as at 1 August 2021 (2020:

Nil).

3. Working Capital

3.1 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, EFTPOS (electronic funds transfer point of sale) transactions which

have not been cleared by the bank at balance date, 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, and bank overdrafts.

Statements of Cash flows

The following are the definitions of the terms used in the statement of cash flows:

(I.) Cash comprises cash and cash equivalents.

(II.) Investing activities are those activities relating to the acquisition, holding and disposal of property, plant and equipment,

investments and employee advances.

(III.) Financing activities are those activities which result in changes in the size and composition of the capital structure of

the Group. This includes lease payments, equity and debt not falling within the definition of cash. Dividends paid are

included in financing activities.

(IV.) Operating activities include all transactions and other events that are not investing or financing activities.



The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents equals the fair value.


3.2 Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method

and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net

realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses,

excluding borrowing costs.







Inventory adjustments are provided at year end for stock obsolescence within cost of sales in the Statement of Comprehensive

Income.


The cost of inventories recognised as an expense and included in cost of sales amounted to $149,308,971 (2020: $118,256,459).

4. Long term Assets

4.1 Leases


Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities

include the net present value of the remaining lease payments.


Right-of-use assets are initially recognised on commencement of lease at cost, comprising the initial amount of the lease

liabilities less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method

from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.


The group leases retail stores under non-cancellable operating leases expiring within one to eight years. There is a small

portion of lease contracts which contain renewal rights. In considering the lease term for these contracts, the Group has

determined that rights of renewals are not reasonably certain to be exercised due to the nature and location of the stores and

the changing retail environment. It is the Group’s strategy to renegotiate the terms of all leases at their expiry instead of

exercising renewal rights. This agile strategy is enabled by having stores relatively small in size and not highly customised,

and therefore relatively straight forward to move locations. In addition, with the current retail market uncertainty and the

continuing growth of online sales compared to store sales, the Group needs to maintain a degree of flexibility.


Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are discounted applying the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot

be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow

the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.


In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the International Accounting Standards Board has issued amendments to IFRS 16

Leases to allow lessees not to account for rent concessions as lease modifications if they are a direct consequence of COVID-

19 and meet certain conditions.


The practical expedient will only apply if:

x the revised consideration is substantially the same or less than the original consideration;

x the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before 30 June 2022; and

x no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the lease.


The Group adopted this practical expedient in the year ended 1 August 2020 and has applied it to all eligible rent concessions

in the year ended 1 August 2021.


Short term leases where the Group is the lessee

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as

operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the

profit and loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.


The Group is the lessor

Assets leased to third parties under operating leases are included in Investment Property in the Statement of Financial

Position. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Lease receivables are disclosed under Note 4.3 Investment Property.

4.2 Property, plant and equipment


Recognition and measurement


Land and buildings were valued on 1 August 2021 by Telfer Young (Hawkes Bay) Ltd, Fordbaker Valuation Limited and Colliers

International who are independent registered valuers and associates of The New Zealand Institute of Valuers. The valuers have

recent experience in the location and category of the item being valued. The fair values of the assets represent the estimated

price for which a property could be sold on the date of valuation in an orderly transaction between market participants.


The adopted valuation has been assessed within a range indicated by two valuation approaches: Income capitalisation

approach and discounted cash flow analysis.


The following table summarises the valuation approach and key assumptions used by the valuers to arrive at fair value.


Valuation approach Description of the valuation approach

Income Capitalisation Approach

A valuation methodology which determines fair value by capitalising a property’s

sustainable net income at an appropriate, market derived capitalisation rate (yield).

Unobservable inputs within the income capitalisation approach include:

a) Net Market Rent which is the annual amount for which a tenancy within a

property is expected to achieve under a new arm’s length leasing transaction

after deducting a fair share of property operating expenses

b) Capitalisation Rate (yield) which is the rate of return, determined through analysis

of comparable, market related sales transactions which is applied to a property’s

sustainable net income to derive value.


Discounted Cash Flow analysis With the discounted cash flow approach (DCF) a cash flow budget is established for the

property over a ten-year time horizon. Within the cash flow an allowance is made for rental

growth as well as deducting costs associated with property ownership. A terminal value is

also estimated and the cash flows are discounted at a market rate to arrive at a net

present value.

Unobservable inputs within the discounted cash flow approach include:

a) The discount rate which is the rate determined through analysis of comparable

market related sales transactions which is applied to a property’s future net cash

flows to convert those cash flows into a present value.

b) The terminal capitalisation rate which is the rate which is applied to a property’s

sustainable net income at the end of an assumed holding period to derive an

estimated market value.

c) Rental growth rate which is the annual growth rate applied to market rent over an

assumed holding period.

d) Expenses growth which is the annual amount applied to property operating

expenses over an assumed holding period.



The revaluation surplus net of applicable deferred income taxes was credited to other comprehensive income and is shown in

the asset revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity.


At each reporting date, where a valuation report is not obtained the most recent valuation reports are reviewed by the

management team. The review focuses on checking material movements and ensuring all additions and disposals are captured

and that there have been no material changes to the underlying assumptions on which the valuations are based.


Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the local and global economy, valuations have been completed noting varying degrees of

“market uncertainty” exist. A market value is “as at the valuation date” and is based on events and evidence up to that date.


Land and building measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the year there were no transfers

between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Both the income capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow analysis contain unobservable inputs in determining fair

value. These are summarised in the table below:




Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it

is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be

measured reliably.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to other comprehensive income and

shown as an asset revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are

charged in other comprehensive income and debited against the asset revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases

are charged to the statement of comprehensive income.


All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes

expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. This cost includes labour attributable to bringing the assets

to the location and working condition for its intended use.


Depreciation

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of

their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:


- Buildings 67 years

- Plant and equipment 2 - 5 years

- Furniture, fittings and office equipment 5 - 10 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate at each balance date.

Impairment

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. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, for example a planned store closure,

withdrawal from a business segment, or assessment of loss making stores. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which

there are separately identifiable cash flows; a stores assets is the relevant cash generating unit. If, in a subsequent period, the

amount of the impairment loss decreases and it can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was

recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income.


The value in use calculation evaluates recoverability based on the stores’ forecasted discounted cash flows, which incorporate

estimated sales, margin & expense growth based upon current plans for the store. Key assumptions in the determination of

recoverable amount are:


• the estimate of future cash flows of the store incorporating reasonable sales growth and margin improvement; and

• the discount rate incorporating the rates of return based on the risk and uncertainty inherent in the forecast cash flows.


Following a review of store performance and consideration of other impairment indicators, the Group has identified two stores

where indicators of impairment exist as at 1 August 2021. Further impairment testing was performed with a write down

recognised against the associated stores right-of-use assets. Refer to note 4.1. No material impairment was identified.

4.3 Investment property


Recognition and measurement


Investment property consists of a portion of land and buildings for the purpose of retail. Land and buildings were valued on 1

August 2021 by Telfer Young (Hawkes Bay) Ltd who are independent registered valuers and associates of The New Zealand

Institute of Valuers. The valuers have recent experience in the location and category of the item being valued. The fair values of

the assets represent the estimated price for which a property could be sold on the date of valuation in an orderly transaction

between market participants.


The adopted valuation has been assessed within a range indicated by two valuation approaches: Income capitalisation approach

and discounted cash flow analysis. These valuation approaches and the key assumptions used by the valuers to arrive at fair

value have been summarised in Note 4.2.


The revaluation surplus of Investment Property was credited to other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Subsequent revaluation surpluses or losses will be recognised through Statement of Comprehensive Income.


Land and building measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the year there were no transfers

between levels of the fair value hierarchy.


Both the income capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow analysis contain unobservable inputs in determining fair value.

These are summarised in Note 4.2.


Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the local and global economy, valuations have been completed noting varying degrees of “market

uncertainty” exist. A market value is “as at the valuation date” and is based on events and evidence up to that date.


Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured

reliably.



Lease receivables:

The Group owns rental property that it leases under non-cancellable operating lease agreements to external parties. Leases reflect

normal commercial arrangements with varying terms and renewal rights.

5. Equity

5.1 Share capital


Ordinary shares are classified as capital, net of treasury stock.

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.

Treasury stock

Shares purchased on market under the executive share scheme are treated as treasury stock on acquisition at cost. On

vesting to the employee, treasury stock shares are credited to equity and an employee loan is recorded initially at fair value

and subsequently at amortised cost.

Reserves

The asset revaluation reserve records revaluations of property, net of tax. The cash flow hedge reserve records the fair value

of derivative financial instruments, net of tax that meet the hedge accounting criteria. The Share Option reserve is used to

record the accumulated value of unvested share rights arising from the executive share scheme which have been recognised

in the statement of comprehensive income.







All shares are fully paid and rank equally.

5.2 Executive Share Scheme


Equity settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees in accordance with the Group’s executive share

scheme. The fair value of share rights granted under the scheme is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a

corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the

employees become unconditionally entitled to the share rights.


The fair value at grant date of the share rights are determined using a Black Scholes Pricing model that takes into account the

exercise price, the term of the share right, the vesting and performance criteria, the non-tradable nature of the share right, 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 share right.


At each balance date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of share rights that are expected to become exercisable.

The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.

Upon the vesting of share rights, the balance of the share option reserve relating to the share rights is transferred to retained

earnings.


The Company operates an employee share scheme for certain senior executives to purchase ordinary shares in the Company.

The Company provides the employees with limited recourse loans on an interest free basis to assist employees’ participation.

The loans are applied to purchase shares on market and the shares are treated as treasury stock.

The loan amount is the total market value of the shares plus any commission applicable on the date of purchase.

Any dividends payable on the shares are applied towards the repayment of the advance.

Shares purchased under the scheme are held by two directors as custodians and vest three years from the date of purchase. In

the event the employee leaves the company during the vesting period, the loan is repaid by selling the shares on market. Any

gain or loss arising from the sale of shares is included in equity. Refer to note 5.1 for further detail on treasury stock.

In accordance with NZ IFRS 2 this scheme is an equity-settled scheme.

The model inputs for shares issued during the year ended 1 August 2021 included a share issue price ranging between $6.01 -

$7.60, an expected price volatility ranging between 33% - 42%, a risk free interest rate ranging between 0.10% - 0.54% and an

estimated 3 year vesting period (2020: No shares were issued).

6. Taxation

6.1 Income tax expense


The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable or receivable on the current period’s taxable income

based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities

attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial

statements and unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets

are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each

jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to

measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial

recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences

if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either

accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

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.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases

of investments in operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and

it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.



Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows have been prepared so that all components are stated

exclusive of GST. All items in the statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and

payables, which include GST invoiced.



The effective tax rate for the year was 29.0% (2020: 24.6%). The Group has no tax losses (2020: Nil) and no unrecognised temporary

differences (2020: Nil).

7.4 Financial risk management


Fair value estimation

Fair value estimates are classified in a hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The different levels have been defined as follows:

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

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that

is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in

circumstances that caused the transfer.


The Group has financial instruments that are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of financial

instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using

valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely

as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable,

the instrument is included within Level 2. Under Level 2 the Group holds forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value

of these forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the

resulting value discounted back to present value. Refer to note 7.4.4.


The Group's land and buildings within property, plant and equipment and investment property is classified as Level 3 in the

fair value hierarchy as one or more of the significant inputs into the valuation are not based on observable market data.

Refer to notes 4.2 and 4.3 for more information.

Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is

designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The company designates certain

derivatives as either; (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge);

or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items,

as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also

documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in

hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of

hedged items.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is

recognised in equity in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised

immediately in the profit and loss component of Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the periods when the hedged

item will affect profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast

transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability,

the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial

cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge

accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast

transaction is ultimately recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When a forecast transaction is no longer

expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the profit and loss

component of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments

are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Group’s activities expose it to various financial risks including, liquidity risk, credit risk, and market risk (including currency risk

and cash flow interest rate risk). The Group’s risk management strategy is to minimise adverse effects on Comprehensive Income.

Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge currency risk.

7.4.2 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to

managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under

both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, and by regularly monitoring cash flow.

At balance date, the Group had $39.204 million (2020: $49.642 million) in cash reserves and accordingly, management consider

liquidity risk to be relatively low.

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and gross-settled derivatives into relevant maturity groupings based on the

remaining period from the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The cash flow hedge “outflow” amounts

disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows liable for payment by the Group in relation to all forward foreign

exchange contracts in place at balance date. The cash flow hedge “inflow” amounts represent the corresponding inflow of foreign

currency back to the Group as a result of the gross settlement on those contracts, converted using the spot rate at balance date.

The carrying value shown is the net amount of derivative financial liabilities and assets as shown in the statement of financial

position.

Trade payables are shown at carrying value in the table. No discounting has been applied as the impact of discounting is not

significant.

7.4.3 Credit Risk


Credit risk is the risk of the failure of a debtor or counterparty to honour its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the

Group. The Group incurs credit risk from trade receivables and transactions with financial institutions. The Group places its cash,

short-term investments and derivative financial instruments with high credit quality financial institutions. Retail sales are

predominantly settled in cash or by using major credit cards. 0.1% (2020: 0.2%) of sales give rise to trade receivables. This

maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of trade receivables.


Concentration of credit risk with respect to debtors is limited due to the large number of customers included in the Group’s customer

base.


The Group does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

7.4.4 Market Risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure predominantly with the US dollar with the purchase

of inventory from overseas suppliers.

The Board has established a Treasury Risk Policy to manage the foreign exchange risk. The policy is reviewed on a regular basis,

and management report monthly to the Board to confirm policy is adhered to. All committed foreign currency requirements are fully

hedged, and approximately 59% (2020: 59%) of anticipated foreign currency requirements are hedged on a rolling twelve month

basis.



The Group uses forward exchange contracts with major retail banks only to hedge its foreign exchange risk arising from future

purchases.

Forward exchange contracts – cash flow hedges

These contracts are used for hedging committed or highly probable forecast purchases of inventory. The contracts are timed to

mature during the month the inventory is shipped and the liability settled. The cash flows are expected to occur at various dates

within one year from balance date.

When forward exchange contracts have been designated and tested as an effective hedge the portion of the gain or loss on the

hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity. These gains or losses will be released

in the profit and loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at various dates over the following year as the hedged risk

crystallises.

At balance date the Group had entered into forward exchange contracts to sell the equivalent of NZ$23.925 million (2020:

NZ$72.351 million), primarily in US Dollars. At balance date these contracts are represented by net assets of $0.714 million (2020:

liabilities of $2.642 million). When foreign exchange contracts are not designated and tested as an effective hedge, the gain or loss

on the foreign exchange contract is recognised in the profit and loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

At balance date there are no such contracts in place (2020: $Nil).

Interest rate risk

The Group has no interest bearing liabilities. Exposure to interest rate risk arises only from the impact on income from operating

cash flows as a result of interest bearing assets, such as cash deposits.

Sensitivity analysis

Based on historical movements and volatilities and management’s knowledge and experience, management believes that the

following movements are ‘reasonably possible’ over a 12 month period:

x Proportional foreign exchange movement of -10% (depreciation of NZD) and +10% (appreciation of NZD) against the

USD, from the year end rate of $0.7013 (2020: $0.6706).

x Proportional foreign exchange movement of -10% (depreciation of NZD) and +10% (appreciation of NZD) against the

AUD, from the year end rate of $0.948 (2020: $0.9283).

x A parallel shift of +1% / -1% in the market interest rates from the year end deposit rate of 0.25% (2020: 0.25%).

The parent is not exposed to any interest rate or foreign exchange risk.


7.4.5 Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to maximise the value of shareholder equity and ensure that the Group continues

to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. Group capital consists of share capital, reserves and retained earnings. In

order to meet these objectives, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment made to shareholders. The Group has no

specific banking or other arrangements which require that the Group maintain specific equity levels.

7.5 Events subsequent to balance date

At 11:59pm on 17 August 2021 New Zealand re-entered Level 4 lockdown due to an outbreak of the Delta variant. The Group

announced it had closed all Hallenstein Brothers stores and Glassons stores in New Zealand. On 7 September 2021 the rest of

New Zealand outside of Auckland entered level 2 and the non-Auckland stores for both Hallensteins Brothers and Glassons were

re-opened with strict protocols in place in line with the Governments recommendations. On 21 September 2021 Auckland entered

Level 3. Auckland stores will be reopened in accordance with the New Zealand Governments regulations.

At the time of signing these accounts the Glassons stores in Victoria and New South Wales remain closed. The stores will reopen

in line with Australian Government recommendations.

Subsequent to year end, the Group has and will continue to apply for available wage subsidy relief from the respective New

Zealand and Australian governments where all applicable criteria have been met.

The Directors consider it prudent to defer the declaration of the final dividend until Auckland and the Australian states of NSW and

VIC have come out of their respective lockdowns and retail stores can trade again.


7.6 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards

There have been no changes in accounting policies or standards.

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited (the

Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the Group as at 1 August 2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year

then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

What we have audited

The Group's financial statements comprise:

●the statement of financial position as at 1 August 2021;

●the statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

●the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

●the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

●the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs

(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are

further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our

report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards

Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International

Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA

Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of tax compliance and tax advisory

services. In addition, certain partners and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal

terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the Group. These relationships and provision

of other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context

of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

PwC 36
Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Inventory valuation

As at 1 August 2021, the Group held

$27.8 million (2020: $24.6 million) of

finished goods, net of inventory

adjus

tments of $1.4 million (2020: $0.4

million). Given the size of the inventory

balance relativ

e to the total assets of the

Group and the estimates and judgements

described below, the valuation of

inventory required significant

audit attention and is a key audit matter.

As disclosed in Note 3.2, inventory is held

at the lower of cost and net

realisable value (NRV) determined using

the weighted average cost method. At

year end, the valuation of inventory is

reviewed by management and the

carrying value of inventory is

reduced

where inventory is forecast to be sold

below cost.

The inventory adjustment is determined

based on various factors including

historical data, current trends and product

information from buyers. Determining the

appropriate level of provisioning involves

judgement and the application of

assumptions including management’s

expectations of f uture sales levels and

estimation of selling price adjustments.

We have performed the following procedures over

the valuation of inventory:

●For a sample of inventory items, tested costing to

supplier invoices and shipping documents;

●We tested that the ageing report used by

management correctly aged inventory items by

agreeing a sample of aged inventory items to the

date of purchase as shown on third party invoices;

●On a sample basis we tested the net realisable

value of inventory items to recent selling prices;

●We assessed the percentage write down applied

to older inventory with reference to historic

inventory write downs and recoveries on slow

moving inventory;

●We re-perfomed the calculation of the inventory

write down;

●Considered the impact of COVID-19 on the

inventory valuation by discussing the impact with

management and considering the impact on slow

moving items on the NRV calculations;

●We also made enquires of management, including

those outside of the finance function, and

considered the results of our testing above to

determine whether any specific write downs were

required; and

●Reviewed the appropriateness of disclosures in

the financial statements.

From the procedures performed no material

exceptions were identified.

PwC 37
Our audit approach

Overview

Overall group materiality: $2.3 million, which represents

approximately 5% of Group profit before tax.

We chose Group profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our

view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the

Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally

accepted benchmark.

Our Group audit scope focused on the major operating locations. In

aggregate, the locations selected as part of our audit scoping

contributed 98% of the Group’s Revenue and 99% of the Group’s

profit before tax.

We agreed with the Audit and Risk Committee that we would report

to them any misstatements identified during our audit above

$100,000 as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our

view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:

●Inventory valuation

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made

subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved

making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits,

we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material

misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,

together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature,

timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an

opi

nion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the

accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

PwC 38
Audits of each major operating location are performed by PwC New Zealand at a materiality level

calculated by reference to a proportion of Group materiality appropriate to the relative scale of the

operations concerned. The remaining operations were not considered significant to the Group and

were subject to other procedures including analytical procedures.


Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the Annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our

auditor's report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this

auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express

any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the

financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of

the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the

Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the

going concern basis of 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 statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a

whole, are 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 ISAs (NZ) and ISAs 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 these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reporting Board’s website at:

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
