Directors As at the date of this report, the Directors of Harmoney Corp Limited are: David Flacks Independent Chairman David Stevens Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Tracey Jones Independent Director Neil Roberts Founder, Chief Product Officer and Executive Director Paul Lahiff Independent Director Principal activities Harmoney provides customers with unsecured personal loans that are easy to access, competitively priced using risk-adjusted interest rate and accessed 100% online. The Group operates across New Zealand and Australia. Review of operations Group performance highlights During the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Group achieved some key milestones, continued delivery of the strategy set out in its prospectus and delivered strong growth, highlights included: o Successful initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), together with dual listing on the NZX, in November 2020, raising net proceeds of $67.6m to fund business expansion ("IPO"). o Loan originations of $194m, including Q2 21 growth of 47% on Q1 21, as marketing to new customers accelerated post IPO. o Warehouse funding of the loan book increased to 45%, from 27% at 30 June 2020 as the group continued its transition from peer-to-peer to warehouse funding. o Warehouse funding capacity increased to $474m, up from $263m at 30 June 2020, as the Group expanded exiting facilities and signed a new $200m facility with M&G Investments, a global asset manager. o Strong credit performance with 90+ day arrears 0.60%, down from 0.97% at 30 June 2020, actual annualised net loss on the entire portfolio for the period down to 3.7% from 4.1% for the prior comparative period, and COVID-19 loan deferrals down to 1.8%. o Net lending margin on the entire portfolio for the period 7.2%, up from 5.4% for the prior comparative period. Financial performance For the half-year to 31 December 2020, the Group reported a statutory net loss after tax of $10.5m, a 20% improvement on the prior comparative period. As explained in the Group's IPO prospectus issued on 30 October 2020 ("Prospectus") the Group's statutory financial statements apply a different accounting treatment for peer-to-peer funded loans to that applied for warehouse funded loans and are also impacted by several material non-recuring items. The Group's pro forma results for the period provide a more meaningful basis to report on business performance as they align the accounting treatment for all loans, indifferent to funding sources, and remove the impact of material non-recuring items. The pro forma analysis included in this Directors' report is presented on the same basis as in the Prospectus. The table below sets out the pro forma financial performance for the period compared to the prior period pro forma financial performance. The Group's statutory financial results are set out following this Directors' report in the Group financial statements from pages 14 to 32. The tables below set out the pro forma financial performance for the period compared to the prior period and a reconciliation of the statutory to pro forma financial performance. [Please refer to table on page 7] -- Statutory to pro forma reconciliation The table below sets out the pro forma adjustments applied to the statutory consolidated income statement by line, for the half year period ended 31 December 2020 and the prior comparative half year period ended 31 December 2019. The pro forma adjustments are consistent with those made in the Prospectus and are intended to provide a more meaningful view of the Group's operating performance, normalising for differences in statutory accounting treatment between warehouse and peer-to-peer funded loans, as well as to remove the impact of material non-recuring items, and to provide better comparability between periods and between the Group and its listed peers. [Please refer to table on page 8] Notes: 1. In the statutory income statement, loans funded via warehouse facilities are recorded on-balance sheet, while loans funded via the Group's peer-to-peer trusts are "derecognised" for accounting purposes. As the Group is transitioning to full warehouse funding, this creates income statement comparability issues between periods. As such a pro forma adjustment has been made to present the income statement consistently with recognition of peer-to-peer funded loans on-balance sheet, indifferent to funding sources. In the statutory income statement, for loans funded by the Group's peer-to-peer trusts, expected lifetime fee income is recognised on loan origination, in contrast with warehouse funding where interest income and interest expense are recognised over the life of the loan. The interest income adjustment recognises interest income earned during the period from peer-to-peer funded loans. 2. For the reasons set out in note 1, the fee income adjustment removes fees earned from peer-to-peer funded loans with establishment fees being recognised in the pro forma income statement through interest income over the expected life of the loan and peer-to-peer lender fees being recognised in the pro forma as a deduction from interest expense. The fee income adjustment also reclassifies borrower dishonour and late fees to other income. 3. The other income adjustment reclassifies borrower dishonour and late fees from fee income in the statutory income statement to other income in the pro forma income statement and, for consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, in the prior comparative period removes grant income which the Group expects on a go forward basis it would not be eligible to receive on the revised application of its accounting policy for the capitalisation of eligible research and development applied from the current period. 4. For the reasons set out in note 1, the interest expense adjustment recognises net interest paid to peer-to-peer lenders after deducting impairments and fees owed to the Group and, for consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, removes the interest expense relating to the corporate debt facility, which was repaid prior to the IPO. 5. For the reasons set out in note 1, the impairment expenses adjustment recognises, for peer-to-peer funded loans, both actual impairment costs and the movement in expected credit loss provision during the period. 6. For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the personnel expenses have been adjusted to remove the net impact of the non-recurring benefit of the Wage Subsidy Scheme in New Zealand and the JobKeeper wage subsidy in Australia and salary reductions taken by employees and, in the prior comparative period, remove the portion of costs that the Group estimates could have been capitalised had the current period application of the Group's accounting policy for the capitalisation of eligible research and development expenditure applied. 7. For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the administration expenses adjustment in the prior comparative period removes the establishment costs relating to the corporate debt facility, which was repaid prior to the IPO, and adds the Group's estimate of additional public company costs associated with being a publicly listed entity. 8. For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the depreciation and amortisation expenses for the prior comparative period adds the Group's estimate of amortisation of capitalised research and development expenditure had the Group's current period application of its accounting policy for the capitalisation of eligible research and development expenditure been applied in prior periods. 9. The income tax benefit adjustment represents the cumulative income tax expense on the pro forma adjustments at an effective income tax rate of 28%. -- Pro forma overview On a pro forma basis, for the half year to 31 December 2020 the Group achieved Cash NPAT of $1.2m, a $4.0m improvement on the prior comparative period. Pro forma total income for the period was in line with the prior comparative period at $41.5m, despite the period being COVID-19 impacted. Higher interest income outweighed a reduction in other income from the cessation of dishonour and late payment fees. Pro forma expenses (excluding non-cash and IPO expenses) were $40.3m, a 9% reduction on the prior comparative period, driven by a 12% reduction in funding costs as the Group continued its transition to warehouse funding, a 20% reduction in marketing costs with more emphasis on origination from existing accounts '3Rs strategy' prior to the Group's IPO in November 2020 and a 13% reduction in actual impairment costs in line with improved arrears performance. Loan originations and pro forma portfolio [Please refer to tables and diagrams on pages 9 and 10] -- Pro forma interest margin and funding costs [Please refer to table on page 11] Notes: 1. Comparative period balance is as at 30 June 2020, not 31 December 2019. Average interest rate represents the interest income as a percentage of the average gross loan book for the period. Funding debt represents the debt used to fund lending activities, including both warehouse and peer-to-peer funding sources. The average funding rate is calculated as the pro forma interest expense over the average funding debt for the period. The average funding rate fell to 6.7% from 7.3% in the prior comparative period, driven by the continuing transition from peer-to-peer to warehouse funding, with warehouse funding reaching 45% by the end of the period, up from 27% at 30 June 2020. An increase in the average interest rate and the reduction in the average funding rate saw the net interest margin over the period widen to 10.9% from 9.5% in the prior comparative period. Pro forma credit performance [Please refer to table on page 11] Impairment expense, which represents loans written off during the period net of recoveries, has decreased by 13% from the prior comparative period, consistent with improved arrears performance. The decrease in the movement in expected credit loss provision is driven by a 6% contraction of the loan book over the period, down from a 12% increase in the prior comparative period, partially offset by an increase in the provision rate with an increase to the downside economic overlay applied due to the heightened economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net lending margin, which is the net interest margin less impairment expense divided by the average gross loan book over the period, has widened to 7.2%, up from 5.4% in the prior comparative period, on the combined improvements to net interest margin and impairment expenses. -- Pro forma operating expenses [Please refer to table on page 12] The ratio of total pro forma operating expenses (excluding non-cash and IPO expenses) decreased to 37% from 42% in the prior comparative period, a reduction of 12%. A primary driver of this reduction was a 20% ($1.4m) reduction in marketing expenses as, prior to completion of the Group's IPO in November 2020, the Group focused its origination marketing on existing customers and account holders, applying its 3Rs strategy. On completion of the IPO, coinciding with improving economic conditions in both Australia and New Zealand, the Group resumed marketing to new customers at pre-COVID-19 levels. Remaining operating expenses were down 7% ($0.7m) primarily from lower external advisory expenses, partially offset by higher personnel expenses. This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors. For and on behalf of the Directors' David Flacks Chairman Auckland 23 February 2021 -- FINANCIAL REPORT -- GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Condensed Consolidated Income Statement for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 [Please refer to table on page 14] -- Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 [Please refer to table on page 15] Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020 [Please refer to table on page 16] Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 [Please refer to table on page 17] Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 [Please refer to table on page 18] -- Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1. Corporate information Harmoney Corp Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) are companies whose primary business is to originate, service and invest in loans. The Group consists of Harmoney Corp Limited and its subsidiaries and controlled entities through which it invests in loans. The results and position of each group entity are expressed in New Zealand dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated. Harmoney Corp Limited is a company incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993, whose shares are publicly traded on both the ASX and NZX, and is required to be treated as a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Market Conducts Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The Company was incorporated on 1 May 2014. The Company is also a FMC Reporting Entity as it is a licensed peer to peer lender. There has been no change in the principal activity of the Group during the period. 2. Significant accounting policies a. Basis of preparation The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the 15 month period ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made in the period by the Group in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX listing rules. These financial statements have been reviewed and have not been subject to an audit. The Group has transitioned from NZ IFRS Reduced Disclosure Regime to New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Reporting Standards (IFRS). There were no recognition or measurement differences arising from the Group's transition and accordingly, no opening balance sheet has been presented. b. Accounting policies The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using consistent accounting policies and methods of computation that were applied in the most recent annual financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretation and/or amendments in the current period. Accounting policies applied in these financial statements have been consistently applied for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 3. Significant changes in the current reporting period ASX Listing and Initial Public Offering (IPO) On 19 November 2020, the Company completed an IPO and listed on the ASX with a secondary listing on the NZX. Refer to note 12 for further details. 4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements, estimates and assumptions were consistent with those applied to the Group's financial statements for the 15 month period ended 30 June 2020. COVID-19 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial statements. The estimation uncertainty is associated with the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions by governments, businesses, and consumers to contain the spread of the virus. The Group has two significant accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations and assumptions as at 31 December 2020 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances. The underlying assumptions are also subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements. Allowance for expected credit losses The Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) using an expected credit loss impairment model as required by NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9). The estimated impact of COVID-19 has been incorporated into forward-looking inputs. Transaction price and variable consideration The Group measures the transaction price including variable consideration to determine income as required by NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15). The transaction price is determined based on models of expected customer behaviour which are informed by historical experience. Judgement has been applied to reduce the amount of income recognised to accommodate for the expected deviation from that base given current uncertainties. Determination of comparative period The comparative period presented for the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows, note 5, 6, and 7 is the six months ended 31 December 2019, being the most comparable interim period. While this is not year to date 31 December 2019, which would be the nine months ended 31 December 2019, it is considered the most relevant comparative period for the purpose of understanding the current period financial statements. 5. Segment information Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) that are used to make strategic decisions. The CEO (considered to be the CODM), in addition to statutory profit after tax, assesses the business on a Cash NPAT basis. Cash NPAT is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) after income tax, adjusted for determined non-cash and abnormal items. It is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance for readers to understand the cash generating ability of the Group. Cash NPAT does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be compared to information presented by other entities. The CODM considers the business from a geographical operating and head office perspective and has identified three reportable segments: New Zealand, Australia and Head Office. Intersegment revenue is not considered by the CODM and is accordingly excluded from segment reporting. The following tables present income and loss information for the Group's operating segments for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively. [Please refer to tables on page 21 through 24] -- Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting a financial loss to the Group. The Group's main exposure to credit risk arises from finance receivables. The finance receivable credit risk management framework comprises: underwriting and risk policies; anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) protocols; collection and recovery policies; a proprietary credit scorecard; a risk-based pricing model; and fraud detection services. In response to COVID-19 the Group made changes to credit underwriting and collections processes to mitigate the impacts of economic downturn and the related credit risk. For example, by: directing additional resource towards helping borrowers in financial hardship, reducing the permitted borrowing limits across all customers, and limiting exposure to high risk segments. The Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) using an expected credit loss impairment model as required by NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9). The estimated impact of COVID-19 has been incorporated into forward-looking inputs as described below. The table below presents the gross exposure and related ECL allowance for finance receivables: [Please refer to table on page 24] At initial recognition, an impairment allowance is required for ECLs resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (12-month ECL). In the event of a significant increase in credit risk, an allowance is required for ECL resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument (lifetime ECL). Financial assets where 12-month ECL is recognised are in stage 1; financial assets that are considered to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk are in stage 2; and financial assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment, so are considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired, are in stage 3. Stage 1 ECL resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12 months ('12-month ECL') are recognised for financial instruments that remain in stage 1. Stage 2 An assessment of whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition is performed at each reporting period by considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the finance receivable. Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when past due. Significant increase in credit risk is measured by comparing loss ratio for the remaining term estimated at origination with the equivalent estimation at reporting date. Stage 3 The Group determines that a financial instrument is credit-impaired and in stage 3 by considering relevant objective evidence, primarily whether: o contractual payments of either principal or interest are past due for more than 120 days; and o the loan is otherwise considered to be in default. If such unlikeliness to pay is not identified at an earlier stage, it is deemed to occur when an exposure is 120 days past due. Write-off Finance receivables (and the related impairment allowances) are normally written off, either partially or in full, when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Forward -looking economic inputs (FLI) The Group has a process for incorporating forward looking economic scenarios and determining the probability weightings assigned to each scenario in determining the overall ECL. The economic overlay is a forward-looking provision in addition to the standard modelled provision. The Group has identified a number of key indicators that are considered in modelling the ECL, the most significant of which are gross domestic product, unemployment rate, wages and inflation. These indicators are assessed semi-annually with input from the Chief Credit Officer who recommends scenarios and the probability weighted assessment of these. Four possible scenarios are applied in FLI: Base Case, Worst Case, Poor Case and Best Case. Final determination of FLI is based on a combination of publicly available data (range of market economists and official data sources) and internal forecasts/judgements. The Group's ALCO provides ultimate approval for FLI inputs. As at 31 December 2020, the Group expects there to be further impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including anticipated increases in delinquencies, as Government stimulus and other measures are progressively removed and we potentially see continued outbreaks of the virus leading to Government mandated restrictions on activity. These impacts would flow through to the modelled expected loss provision, but currently due to the evolving economic impact of the pandemic, may not be fully captured in the modelled outcome. Over time, it is anticipated the economic overlay will need to be adjusted as additional factors are embedded into the base case of the modelled provision. At 30 June the portfolio had been segregated into categories based on deferrals and arrears status. At 31 December, the multiplier is applied at a portfolio level as levels of hardships have dropped significantly and the segment is not meaningful for calculating ECL. The multipliers used for each case and their respective impact on the ECL are: [Please refer to table on page 26] 10. Deferred tax balances The following is the analysis of deferred tax assets/(liabilities) presented in the consolidated statement of financial position: [Please refer to table on page 26] The recognised tax losses are subject to meeting the requirements of the applicable tax legislation including maintaining shareholder continuity. The Group also has tax losses of $7.5m at 31 December 2020 (June 2020: nil) which have not been recognised and are available to offset future taxable profits, subject to maintaining shareholder continuity. 11. Borrowings [Please refer to table on page 27] The corporate debt borrowings were repaid on 18 November 2020 and the Group has subsequently been released from the associated guarantees. The receivables funding relates to borrowings specific to the following entities and are secured by their assets. Harmoney Warehouse No. 1 Trust facility limit is $153m and expires December 2021 (June 2020: Facility limit of $140m, expiry December 2021). The undrawn balance of the facility on 31 December 2020 was Nil (June 2020: $64m). The Harmoney Australia Warehouse No. 1 Trust facility limit is AUD$115m (June 2020: AUD$115m) and expires January 2022. The undrawn balance of the facility on 31 December 2020 was AUD$59m (30 June 2020: AUD$93m). The Harmoney Warehouse No. 2 Trust facility limit is $200m and expires January 2023. The facility was undrawn on 31 December 2020. 12. Share capital [Please refer to table on page 28] Share consolidation and conversion On 29 October 2020, all Series A, B and C classes of shares were converted to ordinary shares and a 4:1 share consolidation occurred for no consideration, decreasing the total number of shares held by equity holders. ASX listing and Initial Public Offering On 19 November 2020, the Company completed an IPO and listed on the ASX with a secondary listing on the NZX. Share issued under share based payment arrangements The Group's share option plans were settled in advance of the IPO. The options were net settled on a cashless basis based on the market price of AUD3.50 and the exercise price of each option. A total of 36,411,899 shares (15,864,005 shares post 4:1 share consolidation) were issued in settlement of the options. See note 13 for details. 13. Share based payments [Please refer to table on page 29] The Group's share option plans were settled in advance of the IPO, with 36,411,899 shares (15,864,005 shares post 4:1 share consolidation) issued in net settlement of the options. In relation to this, the Group recognised an expense of $3.9m within the condensed consolidated income statement for the half year ended 31 December 2020. [Please refer to table on page 30] 14. Controlled entities During the six months ended 31 December 2020, the following entities were established and joined Harmoney Corp Limited group: Name | Date established and control gained Harmoney Warehouse No.2 Trust | 14 December 2020 Harmoney Collections Trust | 22 December 2020 The Group entered a wholesale funding agreement with a financier under which it purchases finance receivables through Harmoney Warehouse No. 2 Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a special purpose entity which was set up solely for the purpose of purchasing loans from the Originator (Harmoney Services Limited) under the Subscription Agreement with funding from the financiers. Harmoney Group subsidiaries have been appointed Manager, Servicer and residual income beneficiary. Under NZ IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, an investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. As the Group controls the financing and operating activities of the Trust and is the residual income beneficiary, the Trust is considered to be controlled by the Group and is required to be consolidated into the Group financial statements. 15. Fair value The following table presents the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value on a recurring basis: [Please refer to table on page 30] There have been no transfers between levels in the period (June 2020: Nil). -- NZ IFRS 9 requires financial asset debt instruments to be classified on the basis of two criteria: a) the business model within which financial assets are managed; and b) their contractual cash flow characteristics (whether the cash flows represent solely payment of principal and interest (SPPI). There are three resulting classifications of financial asset debt instruments under NZ IFRS 9: a) Amortised cost: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise SPPI, and which are held in a business model whose objective is to collect their contractual cash flows are measured at amortised cost; b) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise SPPI, and which are held in a business model whose objective is to both collect their contractual cash flows and to sell are measured at FVTOCI; and c) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): financial assets with contractual cash flows that do not represent SPPI, or which are held under a different business model are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets can also be designated at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Other than derivative financial instruments, which are held at fair value, all other financial assets are held at amortised cost. For these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. Set out on the table below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities. [Please refer to table on page 31] -- 16. Contingent liabilities The Group was subject to Enforcement proceedings during the half year ended 31 December 2020. Earlier Case Stated proceedings asked the courts to answer a question of law based on a limited factual scenario; however, there has not yet been any substantive argument before the courts with respect to the Enforcement proceedings. The High Court hearing for which will be held from 6 September 2021. Until such time as a judgment is issued, based on complete facts, determining whether or not any of the establishment fees that Harmoney charged borrowers were unreasonable credit fees under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, the application of the law to the Group remains uncertain. Harmoney's position remains that any of its fees that were subject to the Act were not unreasonable under the Act, and there is no compensation due to borrowers. As such, Harmoney's legal liability is contingent on the outcome of the Enforcement proceedings. There are no other contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2020. 17. Events after the reporting period Paul Lahiff was appointed as Director on 15 February 2021. There were no other material events subsequent to period end. -- DIRECTORS' DECLARATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Harmoney Group for the six months ended 31 December 2020 were authorised for issue on 23 February 2021 in accordance with a resolution of the Directors. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.2A.2A, the Directors declare that, as at that date, and in the Directors' opinion: 1. there are reasonable grounds to believe that Harmoney will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable; and 2. the relevant condensed consolidated financial statements and notes comply with accepted accounting standards in New Zealand. For and on behalf of the Board David Flacks DIRECTOR Tracey Jones DIRECTOR 23 February 2021 -- INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT PricewaterhouseCoopers [Please see page 34 for more details] Independent auditor's review report To the shareholders of Harmoney Corp Limited Report on the condensed consolidated financial statements Our conclusion We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Harmoney Corp Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34). Basis for conclusion We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibility is further described in the Auditor's responsibility for the review of the condensed consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of investigating accountant assurance services, tax due diligence and tax related services, and audit-related services which include custody controls assurance, Net tangible assets (NTA) agreed upon procedures and Australian Financial Services License reporting. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence. Directors' responsibility for the condensed consolidated financial statements The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's responsibility for the review of the condensed consolidated financial statements Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these condensed consolidated financial statements. Who we report to This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed. The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor's review report is Rob Spring.
