The Directors consider that the financial statements of the Company and the Group have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied and supported by reasonable judgements and estimates and that all relevant financial reporting and accounting standards have been followed. The Directors believe that proper accounting records have been kept which enable, with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial position of the Company and the Group and facilitate compliance of the financial statements with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Directors consider they have taken adequate steps to safeguard the assets of the Company and the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. During the year the Company increased its investment in Thinxtra Pty Limited, an Internet of Things company, with the Company investing to initiate Thinxtra’s start-up. The Directors note that there were no other material changes in the nature of the business undertaken by the Company and the Group in the past year. The Directors present the financial statements set out in pages 3 – 49, of Rakon Limited and subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2017. The Board of Directors of Rakon Limited authorised these financial statements for issue on 18 May 2017. Finncial resuts Rakon Limited has reported a full year net loss after tax of $13.6 million (2016: net loss after tax of $1.7 million). Sales revenue for the year was $94.7 million, down $18.0 million or 16% on the prior year. The Group’s sales revenue reduced as a result of a decline in revenues from the telecommunications market as equipment manufacturers reduced spend. Revenues declined also in the global positioning market due to a decline in sales of consumer products for which Rakon’s products are embedded. Gross profit for the year was $33.7 million, down $14.3 million or 30% on the prior year. Gross profit declined in line with revenue and was also negatively impacted as the Company increased its obsolescence provisions. Share of losses from associates and joint venture was $2.1 million as expected losses were reported for Thinxtra in its start-up period. Operating expenses for the year of $41.9 million are down $5.9 million compared to the prior year, as the Group completed initiatives to reduce costs. Net debt as at 31 March 2017 was $4.5 million, down $8.1 million on the prior year. During the year the Company reduced net debt as cash proceeds were generated from a share placement and technology license arrangement to Taiwan company Siward Crystal Technology Co. Limited. As at 31 March 2017 Rakon’s shareholders’ equity stood at $74.6 million, funding 72% of total assets. The Board maintains a dividend policy, such that a dividend will be paid of up to 50% of the after tax profit, if considered fiscally appropriate by the Directors. The Board has determined that no dividend will be paid for FY2017. Dontions nd udit fees The Group made donations totalling $4,000 during the year.
