04
The company advises that Group
sales for the 12 months to 1 August
2018 were $277.64 million,
an increase of 16.2% over the
corresponding period last year
($239.00 million). The audited
net profit after tax was $27.36
million, an increase of 58.4% over
the corresponding period last year
($17.27 million).
The 2017/18 financial year has continued
to build on the success of the previous
year. The buying strategy, investment
in digital and the improvements in
customer service and experience
that were implemented in 2017 have
supported sales and margin growth.
Combined with tighter cost control, this
has in turn led to significant net profit
growth. Whilst the trading environments
remain tough in both New Zealand and
Australia, our brands have responded
and adapted to these conditions to
deliver the strong result.
Segment Results
Glassons New Zealand
Sales for the year were $96.73 million,
an increase of 8.1% on the prior year.
Key to the performance over the last
twelve months has been our focus on
fashion, our speed to market and our
customer service. Significant investment
was made in digital throughout the year,
improving customer engagement with
our website, social media platforms as
well as in our stores.
During the year, we renovated the
Queenstown and Queensgate stores to
our new concept design, and we closed
one underperforming store in Henderson.
Planned investment is proceeding in
New Zealand for the current financial
year. We have already refurbished our
Dunedin store and have a number of
additional store upgrades scheduled.
Glassons Australia
Sales for the year were $78.42 million, an
increase of 56.7% on the prior year. We
continue to evolve our product offer in
Australia, focused on our Australian
customer. This increased emphasis,
together with our innovation in customer
service, investment in digital and speed
to market has driven sales in what
remains an increasingly challenging
retail market.
During the year two new stores,
Melbourne Central and Charlestown,
were opened and a further two stores,
Warringah and Chermside, were
refurbished into our new concept.
Planned investment is proceeding in
Australia. We have refurbished three
stores in the current season in Bondi,
Highpoint and Parramatta with
additional refurbishments scheduled in
the short term. There are also store
openings planned in The Glen and
Liverpool for later this year with some
other stores under consideration.
Hallenstein Brothers
Sales for the year were $96.89 million
(including Australia), an increase of 6.4%
on the prior year. Hallenstein Brothers
continues to build on its established
market leading position in New Zealand.
The three stores in Australia have
performed steadily and we remain
positive about the opportunity that exists
for the brand in that market. Investment
has continued in digital to help drive
sales and improve customer engagement.
During the year, the Queenstown store
was refurbished to new concept and two
small underperforming non-strategic
stores were closed.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
05
HALLENSTEIN GLASSON HOLDINGS LTD ––––––– ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Further investment in stores is planned
for the current financial year as well as an
extension to the Distribution Centre to
accommodate the growth in online sales.
Storm
The Storm business assets were sold
on 30th April 2018 to Blackstar Holdings
Limited. The Storm retail stores are
no longer part of the Hallenstein
Glasson Group.
E-Commerce
As a result of the Company’s ongoing
investment in digital, online sales growth
has improved at a significantly greater
rate than bricks and mortar stores.
During the last financial year, online
sales growth was 63.6% and now
represents 12.8% of Group turnover.
We will continue to invest in technology
and resources to build momentum in
this strategic area of the business into
the future.
Dividend
The Directors have declared a final
dividend of 24 cents per share (fully
imputed) to be paid on 17th December
2018. Together with the interim dividend
of 20 cents per share that was paid on
13th April 2018, the full year dividend
is 44 cents per share. This increase in
dividend payment comes as a result of
the Company’s strong balance sheet,
well controlled inventories and the
current trading patterns.
Future Outlook
The first eight weeks of the new financial
year have seen sales grow +7.2% on the
prior year. The Group continues to
improve and build on its buying strategies,
speed to market and customer service.
Strategic investment continues in digital,
as well as in new and refurbished stores.
Customers have reacted positively to new
season stock and web sales continue to
grow. The Group is focused on delivering
a strong performance going into
Christmas trading.
The outlook for the second half of the
year remains uncertain as increasing fuel
costs and the lower New Zealand and
Australian dollar puts pressure on the
margin. We will remain focused on cost
control and improving our market share
in the New Zealand and Australia fashion
apparel sector in which we operate.
An update will be provided at the
annual meeting of shareholders in
December 2018.

GROUP CEO’S REPORT
I am extremely proud of the strong performance that
the Group has delivered through the Financial Year
ended 1 August 2018.
The results reflect strong performance in Glassons Australia and
solid growth in New Zealand across Glassons and Hallensteins.
Both brands, especially Glassons Australia, are operating in
challenging retail conditions, which makes the results achieved
all the more pleasing – they are a credit to the amazing teams we
have in place across the Group.
Our success this year can be attributed to our key strengths –
the continued improvement of our buying strategies, our focus
on being fashion forward, our investment and engagement in
digital, and an emphasis on customer service. Together with our
increasing ability to accelerate change, and our willingness to
challenge ourselves to be different, these factors set us apart
from our competition.

ACROSS THE GROUP WE
ARE CUSTOMER OBSESSED
Over the last twelve months we have
accelerated investment in improving
service to our customer. We continue
to differentiate ourselves from our
competition in our service levels, as
well as our product offering and our
in-store experience. Whilst our online
sales continue to grow in both volume
and as a percentage of our total sales, we
recognise the importance of our physical
stores and the exciting role they play in
our current and future growth plans.
We have outstanding, talented people
and teams. We are extremely proud
and protective of our culture that values
empowerment, creativity, innovation and
agility. Our passion and drive comes from
a shared belief in an entrepreneurial
spirit, and one that values and believes in
the power of the team.
Whether working in our offices,
our distribution centres or in our
stores, we know each person plays
an important role – their passion,
dedication and commitment is
directly reflected in the financial
results delivered for the year.
OUR STRENGTH IS OUR
PEOPLE AND TEAMS

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR TEAM
AND FUTURE LEADERSHIP
IS A PRIORITY.

As a Group, and within each brand,
we continue to invest in unlocking and
supporting future growth. We have
seen our investment in digital continue
to drive and support growth in both
countries, and whilst that growth online
has been strong, it’s particularly pleasing
to see that our physical stores have also
grown despite the challenging markets
that they are in. This supports our view
that digital is about engaging with our
customers and driving them in-store as
much as it is about online sales.
Whilst we continue to increase our
investment in digital, we have also
invested in new and refurbished stores.
But as strong as these new stores are,
they are not standing still. We are
constantly looking for ways to improve
them. It is essential to our brands, and
to our ongoing growth, that we give
our customers the most exciting and
engaging experience we can. This is
not just limited to innovative store
design, it encompasses the delivery
of great customer service and
outstanding product.
We have introduced a number of
new and innovative customer facing
technologies, for example ‘Be the D.J.’
where customers can choose their own
music whilst they shop. Other initiatives
include interactive and service-focused
fitting rooms, mobile payment options
and facilities, as well as technology to
help our store teams serve customers
more efficiently and to reduce store
operation stress points such as stock
management. Team and customer
feedback to date has been positive. This
gives us confidence in our plans for new
and refurbished stores during the current
financial year.
Additionally, we are investing in our
supply chain in order to support future
growth online, as well as serve our stores
better. The expansion of the Hallenstein
Brothers Distribution Centre in Auckland
is our first step in this process.

SUSTAINABILITY AND
ETHICAL SOURCING
We are committed to delivering better
outcomes for our customers, communities
and the environment and we are proud
of what has been achieved to date. As
a business, we are working to improve
sustainability in everything we do.
This year we were pleased to receive a
B+ rating from Baptist, and we have
recently introduced paper bags into stores
– we intend to eliminate plastic shopping
bags by early 2019. But we know a great
deal more work lies ahead. The impact
we have on the world around us will
continue to be a major focus as we strive
to integrate policies and initiatives into
our everyday business.
GLASSONS
Glassons continues to build its fashion
credentials in both Australia and
New Zealand. Our model of bringing to
market the products our customers want,
when they want it, is always evolving and
improving, as is our ability to respond to
market conditions with speed and agility.
Our in-store experience continues to be
one of the most exciting within the retail
marketplace, not only through our store
design, but with the strong and engaged
customer service levels our team delivers.
We continue to develop and invest in
our digital experience both in store and
online, and our customers are responding
well to marketing strategies which merge
the best of both these worlds.
HALLENSTEIN BROTHERS
Hallenstein Brothers continues to build
on its market leadership model in New
Zealand. Focus in the last twelve months
has been on driving key categories of
brand ownership through the business,
a shift that has been well received by
customers. The team continue to work on
innovative product, offering value as well
as engaging marketing campaigns.
As in Glassons, our investment in digital
continues to deliver strong results as the
brand drives its position in the market.
We’ve trialled a number of in-store
technologies with good success and we
look forward to rolling these out into key
stores later this year.
OUTLOOK
Whilst the new financial year has
started well, and we have seen ongoing
improvement, the outlook for the second
half and into the new calendar year
remains uncertain. Australia continues
to be a challenging retail market and
business confidence in New Zealand
has declined. Consumers on both sides
of the Tasman face ever-increasing
pressures, for example rising fuel prices,
and businesses in both countries are
experiencing legislative change as well
as challenging exchange rates.
However, as a Group, we remain
focused on those things that are within
our control. We will continue to build
and develop our team, to focus on our
customer, to develop and deliver the best
product, and to closely manage our cost
base. With these strategies and our team
in place, we are striving for continuous
improvement across our business.

SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS
HALLENSTEIN GLASSON
HOLDINGS IS COMMITTED
TO PEOPLE, THE PLANET
AND OUR FUTURE.
Hallenstein Glasson Holdings has embarked on a journey
to improve transparency in all areas of our operation,
especially in relation to people and the environment.
We have introduced a comprehensive auditing programme
for our suppliers, and we’re working to ensure they are
equipped and motivated to partner with us as we change.
We are committed to delivering better outcomes for our
customers, communities and the environment and we’re
proud of what has been achieved to date. However, many
challenges remain and we understand our ability to drive
and maintain change is critical to our future success.
As a business, we are driving sustainability in everything
we do – but we know a great deal more work lies ahead.
The impact we have on the world around us will
continue to be a major focus as we strive to integrate
policies and initiatives into our everyday business.

teams have increased the
frequency of supplier visits
– these now occur every
two to three weeks. This
allows us to develop more
personal relationships with
suppliers, in turn building
trust and achieving greater
transparency.

We believe we can do
much better and we are
currently reviewing our
sustainable fibre targets
for 2019 and beyond.
We believe technology will
be crucial in driving the
change required to achieve
a more sustainable fashion
industry and to support
workers’ rights. Included
among the initiatives we’ll
be using to help us achieve
this is the introduction of
whistle-blower apps that
allow workers in our supplier
factories to raise concerns
anonymously.
> We are finding ways to
better communicate our
objectives, achievements
and ongoing projects with
our customers.
> We will continue to look
at ways to reduce our
environmental footprint –
including a review of our
supply chain, head office
and store operations.
> We will continue to
investigate new ways to
introduce technology that
helps us achieve our goals.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited
The financial statements comprise:
the statement of financial position as at 1 August 2018;
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.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the 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 2018, 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).
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 theAuditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementssection of
our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised)
Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners(PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants(IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carried out other services for the Group in the areas of tax advisory and tax compliance
services. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the
Group.

Our audit approach
Overview
An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
Overall Group materiality: $1,903,500, which represents 5% of profit before
tax.
We chose 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.
We agreed with the Audit and Risk Committee that we would report to
them misstatements identified during our audit above $100,000 as well as
misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for
qualitative reasons.
We have determined that there is one key audit matter:
Inventory Valuation
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
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.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and
our application of materiality. 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.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion 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.
Our Group audit scope focused on the major operating locations. In aggregate, the locations selected
as part of our audit scoping contributed 95% of the Group’s Revenue and 99% of the Group’s profit
before tax.
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.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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.
Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Inventory Valuation
As at 1 August 2018, the Group held $20.9
million of inventories. Given the size of the
inventory balance relative to the total
assets of the Group and the estimates and
judgements described below, the valuation
of inventory required significant audit
attention.
As disclosed in Note 3.2, inventories are
held at the lower of cost and net realisable
value determined using the weighted
average cost method. At year end, the
valuation of inventory is reviewed by
management and the cost of inventory is
reduced where inventory is forecast to be
sold below cost.
The determination of whether inventory
will be realised for a value less than cost
requires management to exercise
judgement and apply assumptions.
Management undertake the following
procedures for determining the level of
write down required:
Use inventory ageing reports together
with historical trends to estimate the
likely future saleability of slow moving
and older inventory lines;
For inventory aged greater than one
year, management apply a percentage
based write down to inventory. The
percentages are derived from
historical levels of write down; and
Perform a line-by-line analysis of
remaining inventory to ensure it is
stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value and a specific write
down is recognised if required.
We have performed the following procedures over the
valuation of inventory:
For a sample of inventory items, re-performed the
weighted average cost calculation and compared
the weighted average cost to the last purchase
invoices;
We tested that the ageing report used by
management correctly aged inventory items by
agreeing a sample of aged inventory items to the
last recorded invoice;
On a sample basis we tested the net realisable
value of inventory lines 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-performed the calculation of the inventory
write down; and
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.
From the procedures performed we have no matters to
report.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not, and will not express any form
of assurance conclusion on the other information. At the time of our audit, there was no other
information available to us.
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. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to
the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact.
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:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2018
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This section presents a summary of information considered relevant and material to assist the reader in understanding the
foundations on which the financial statements as a whole have been compiled. Accounting policies specific to notes shown
in other sections are disclosed in a shaded box and are included as part of that particular note.
1.1 General information
Reporting entity
Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited (“Company” or “Parent”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is a retailer of men’s
and women’s clothing in New Zealand and Australia.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The address of its registered office is
Level 3, 235-237 Broadway Newmarket, Auckland.
Statutory base
Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC reporting entity
under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX).
The financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2018.
1.2 General accounting policies
Statement of compliance
These financial statements for the year ended 1 August 2018 have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (GAAP). They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting standards (NZ IFRS), other
New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis of preparation of financial statements
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
The reporting currency used in the preparation of these financial statements is New Zealand dollars, rounded where necessary
to the nearest thousand dollars.
Entities reporting
The financial statements are the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group comprising Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited
and subsidiaries, together they are referred to in these financial statements as ‘the Group’. The parent and its subsidiaries are
designated as for-profit entities for financial reporting purposes.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from
the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

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
have suffered any impairment since they were acquired. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units (at a subsidiary level)
are 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.
Revaluation of Investment Property: The fair value of the Group’s investment property is determined by the Board following
a 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.
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 functional and 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 Reclassification in accounting for investment property
The Group owns properties leased in full or partially to third parties and earning rental income which have been previously
incorrectly classified as property, plant and equipment, but should have been recognised as investment property. As the Group’s
policy is to keep the land and buildings at fair value, the revaluation gains and losses have been recognised through other
comprehensive income to asset revaluation reserve. However, the revaluation gains and losses related to investment properties
should have been recognised in profit before income tax. The correction of this error results in a reclassification from property, plant
and equipment to investment property of $8.46 million, a reclassification from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings of
$0.3 million, and an adjustment to deferred tax and retained earnings of $0.35 million.
The error relates to 2016 and prior periods and has been corrected in the opening balances of the comparative period by restating
each of the affected financial statement lines items as follows:

The Directors have assessed the impact of this adjustment on transactions presented in the statement of comprehensive income
for the year ended 1 August 2018 and have concluded that no significant errors occurred. As a result, the 2017 statement of financial
position, statement of changes in equity and related additional notes have been restated to reflect the adjustments made to the
opening balances disclosed above only. There has been no restatement of the statement of comprehensive income or earnings
per share. Directors concluded that presentation of a third balance sheet is not required because the adjustment related to
reclassifications, resulting in no significant impact on net assets position.

Sale of Storm business assets
On 30 April 2018 the Group’s wholly owned subsidiary, Retail 161 Limited, concluded the sale of the Storm business assets to
Blackstar Holdings Limited. On and from settlement, the Storm business ceased trading under Retail 161 Limited’s ownership and
continues to trade under Blackstar’s ownership. The Group’s focus is on expanding its other two much larger fashion brands, namely
Glassons and Hallenstein Brothers in both New Zealand and Australian markets. The value of the transaction is not significant in
terms of the assets or profit of the Group.
The sales revenue and cost of sales noted in the table above represent trade generated by the Storm business for the nine months
ended 30 April 2018.
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. Retail sales are usually in cash or by credit
card. The recorded revenue is the gross amount of sale (excluding GST), including credit card fees payable for the transaction. Such
fees are included in selling expenses.
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.

4.2 Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Land and buildings were valued on 1 August 2017 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 valuation approach and key assumptions have been disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report which can be accessed via the website:
www.hallensteinglasson.co.nz.
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.
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.
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. Each year on revaluation, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued
carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income, and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is
transferred from ‘other reserves’ to ‘retained earnings’.
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 (cash generating units).
Disposal
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the statement
of comprehensive income.

4.3 Investment property
Recognition and measurement
Land and buildings were valued on 1 August 2015 by Telfer Young (Hawkes Bay) Ltd 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 approachA 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 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 analysisWith 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 was credited to retained earnings in shareholders’ equity as part of the prior year restatement of
the statement of financial position. Subsequent revaluation surpluses or losses will be recognised through statement of
comprehensive income.
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.
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.

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.

5. EQUITY (CONTINUED)
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 2018 included a share issue price ranging between $3.31–$4.65,
(2017: $3.01–$3.53) an expected price volatility of 30% (2017: 30%), a risk free interest rate ranging between 2.2%–2.7% (2017: 1.9%)
and an estimated 3 year vesting period.

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.

7. OTHER (CONTINUED)
7.5 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 7.5.4.
The Group’s land and buildings within property, plant and equipment 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 note 4.2 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.

7.5.1 Financial risk factors
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.
7.5.2 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 $17.453 million (2017: $12.552 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.

7.5.3 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. 0.2% (2017: 0.4%) 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.
7.5.4 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 60% (2017: 61%) 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$40.526 million (2017:
NZ$54.366 million), primarily in US Dollars. At balance date these contracts are represented by assets of $2.417 million (2017: $Nil)
and liabilities of $Nil (2017: $2.298 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 (2017: $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:
• Proportional foreign exchange movement of -10% (depreciation of NZD) and +10% (appreciation of NZD)
against the USD, from the year end rate of 0.6789 (2017: 0.7508)
• Proportional foreign exchange movement of -10% (depreciation of NZD) and +10% (appreciation of NZD)
against the AUD, from the year end rate of 0.9173 (2017: 0.9346)
• A parallel shift of +1% / -1% in the market interest rates from the year end deposit rate of 1.75% (2017: 1.90%)

7.5.5 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.
7.6 Events subsequent to balance date
Subsequent to year end, the Board has resolved to pay a final dividend of 24.0 cents (2017: 17.0 cents) per share (fully imputed).
The dividend will be paid on 17 December 2018 to all shareholders on the Company’s register as at 5:00pm, 10 December 2018.
7.7 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards
No new accounting policies have been adopted that are considered to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the year.
New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective, and have not been
early adopted by the Group, are:
NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (Effective date: periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
NZ IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful
information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the
ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces NZ IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and NZ IAS 11
‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations.
During the financial year the Group assessed the potential impact of NZ IFRS 15, with a focus on the varying revenue streams that
exist within the business. The majority of revenue is made up of in store transactions with less than 13% earned through online sales.
The following matters are relevant to the Group under NZ IFRS 15:
• for online sales, whether arranging the delivery of goods is a separate performance obligation as it may impact the timing,
measurement and classification of revenue recognised;
• a customer’s right of return in determining revenue to be recognised and how this should be accounted for.
There is no material impact in relation to the above on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of NZ IFRS 15.
NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (Effective date: periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
NZ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.
There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities as the new requirements only affect the accounting
for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have such liabilities.
The derecognition rules have been transferred from NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have
not been changed.
The new hedge accounting rules will align the accounting for hedging instruments more closely with the Group’s risk management
practices. The Group has confirmed that its current hedge relationships would qualify as continuing hedges upon the adoption
of NZ IFRS 9. The nature and extent of the Group’s disclosure note in relation to its hedging relationships will change in the
consolidated financial statements for the period ending 1 August 2019.
The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only
incurred credit losses as per NZ IAS 39. Based on the Group’s assessment of historical provision rates and forward-looking analysis,
there is no expected financial impact on the impairment provisions in the year of adoption.

7. OTHER (CONTINUED)
NZ IFRS 16: Leases (Effective date: periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
NZ IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces the current guidance in NZ IAS 17. Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under NZ IAS 17, a lessee
was required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). NZ IFRS 16
now requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease
contracts. Included is an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption
can only be applied by lessees. For lessors, the accounting for leases under NZ IFRS 16 is almost the same as NZ IAS 17. However, the
guidance on the definition of a lease has been updated (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts), lessors
will also be affected by the new standard.
Based on preliminary assessments the Group has determined that NZ IFRS 16 will have a significant impact on the Group’s statement
of financial position and statement of comprehensive income, measurement and disclosures. The statement of financial position will
be impacted by the recognition of a right of use asset, and a corresponding lease liability. The statement of comprehensive income will
be impacted by the recognition of an interest expense and a depreciation expense and the de-recognition of the current rental expense.
This standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the Group has non-
cancellable operating lease commitments of $88 million (refer note 4.1).
Through the use of software designed for the management of leases, the Group has developed a model to calculate the impact of their
current operating leases under NZ IFRS 16 as at 1 August 2019, being the date of adoption. The model requires management to make
some key judgements including:
• the incremental borrowing rate used to discount lease assets and liabilities; and
• the lease term including potential rights of renewals.
The Group’s process to date highlights that the potential impact based on the current lease agreements is expected to be material to
the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption (being 1 August 2019), with impacts on the following line items:
• recognition of a right of use asset of approximately $55 million; and
• recognition of a lease liability of approximately $55 million.
The Group has applied the practical expedient for short term leases, and therefore this estimate excludes leases that expire within
12 months from the date of this report and 1 August 2019.
The impact on the consolidated income statement for the period ended 1 August 2020 is expected to be:
• decrease in store expenses (operating lease rental expense);
• increase in depreciation expense; and
• increase in finance costs (interest expense).
The impact on each of these line items is expected to be significant however currently the Group does not expect the overall effect on
net profit attributable to shareholders to be material. The above has no cash effect to the Group and the change is for financial reporting
purposes only.
Current estimates are likely to change at time of adoption and for the period ended 1 August 2020, mainly due to:
• finalisation of managements judgements and subsequent movements in the inherent borrowing rate (interest rates);
• new lease contracts entered into by the Group;
• any changes to existing lease contracts; and
• change in managements judgement to exercise rights of renewals under lease agreements.
The Group currently intends to adopt the simplified transition approach under NZ IFRS 16 on its effective date being for the year
ended 1 August 2020, and will not restate comparative amounts for the period prior to first adoption.

PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR
“Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for these
standards being followed throughout the organisation.”

The Board is committed to the highest standards of conduct and ethical behaviour in all business activities, and has adopted a code
of ethics to promote and support a culture of honest and ethical behaviour, corporate compliance and good corporate governance.
The Code of Ethics sets out the standards of conduct expected of the Directors, senior management and employees in carrying out
their day to day duties. This code provides a guide to the conduct that is consistent with the Company’s values, business goals and
legal obligations. The code contains the internal reporting procedures for any breaches.

HGHL is committed to transparency and fairness in dealing with all of its stakeholders and to ensuring adherence to all applicable

The policy details the procedure which must be followed when Directors and senior management (or their related parties) wish to
trade in the Company’s shares. They must notify HGHL and obtain consent prior to trading in HGHL shares, and are only permitted
to trade within the periods of two windows. These windows are from the day on which HGHL’s half year results are released (during
March) and 1 July and between the full year announcement (during September) and 1 January. Trading by an individual holding
non-public material information about the Company is prohibited.
Directors or senior managers must advise the NZX promptly if they trade in the company’s shares within the timeframes required
by law.
PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
“To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.”
The Board
The Board of Directors is elected by shareholders to oversee the management of the Company and is responsible for all
corporate governance matters and reporting to shareholders. The Board has adopted a board charter which sets out the roles and
responsibilities of the Board and outlines how this interacts with the role of the Group’s management. The Board Charter is available
on the Group’s website.
The Board establishes the Company’s objectives, determines the strategies for achieving those objectives, and monitors management
performance. It also establishes delegated authority limits for capital expenditure, treasury, and remuneration.
Glassons and Hallensteins operate as separate subsidiaries, each with its own management team. The Board delegates the
responsibility for the day-to-day management of each subsidiary to the Group CEO and the management of that subsidiary. The
Board is responsible for the appointment of, and assessment of the performance of, the Group CEO and the members of the senior
management team.
The Board meets at least ten times each year, and in addition a full corporate strategy meeting is held each year. Directors receive
monthly reporting including profit and loss and balance sheets for each operating subsidiary, together with operations reports from
the senior executive from each business unit.

“The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.”
Financial reporting to shareholders and the market is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied in
New Zealand, and in compliance with relevant legislation and NZX requirements.
The Group’s Sustainability Report is on pages 10 and 11. The Group has appointed a sustainability steering group to consider risks
on environmental, social and governance factors. The steering group has developed the current Group initiatives which include:
– significantly reduce HGHL’s environmental footprint;
– zero tolerance to child / forced labour;
– actively support freedom of association and non-discrimination.
The Board is responsible for ensuring it meets its obligation for continuous disclosure in accordance with NZX Main Board Listing
Rule 10.1 and acknowledges that the intent of these rules is to enable shareholders and the investment market generally to be
promptly informed of any events that may be price sensitive in regards to the Company’s share price.
The Board has adopted a market disclosure policy which outlines the obligations of HGHL and relevant HGHL personnel in satisfying
HGHL’s continuous disclosure requirements. A copy of the policy is available on the Group’s website.

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
“The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.”
Details of Directors’ and Group CEO’s remuneration are shown on pages 51 and 53 of this report.
Shareholders are asked to approve any increases to the pool of Directors’ fees from time to time as required by the NZX Main Board
Listing Rules. Fees are generally established using independent surveys covering New Zealand based organisations of a similar scope

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
“Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board should
regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.”
The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company’s risk management strategy, and maintains a risk framework
that identifies and seeks to manage risks throughout the HGHL group. It also seeks to identify new and emerging risks to the HGHL
Group through this framework. The Board delegates day-to-day management of risk to the Group CEO who may further delegate
such responsibilities to his or her executives and other officers. Significant risks are discussed at Board meetings as required.
While the Board is ultimately responsible for oversight of the risk management of the Group, the Audit Committee reviews the
reports of management and the external auditors on the effectiveness of systems for internal control, financial reporting and risk
management. To assist in discharging this responsibility, the Board has in place a number of strategies designed to safeguard the
Company’s assets and interests and to ensure the integrity of reporting.

and safety processes and procedures are carried out. Particular focus is placed on safety in our Distribution Centres and regular risk
assessments are carried out. The Group also provides an Employee Assistance Programme to support with employee wellbeing.
PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
“The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the external audit arrangements. Ensuring that external audit independence
is maintained is one of the key aspects in discharging this responsibility. An Audit Independence Policy has been adopted by the
Committee to assist in meeting this responsibility. The Audit Independence Policy covers the following areas:
• Provision of related assurance services by the external auditors.
• Auditor rotation.
• Relationships between the auditor and the Company.
• Approval of auditor.
The Audit Committee shall only approve a firm to be auditor if that firm would be regarded by a reasonable investor with full
knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances as capable of exercising objective and impartial judgement on all issues
encompassed within the auditor’s engagement. The Audit Committee must approve significant permissible non-audit work
assignments that are awarded to an external auditor. A copy of the policy is available on the Group’s website.
The external auditors are required to be available at each annual meeting.
Internal audit
The Company does not have an internal audit function. The Board is confident the key risks of the business are being adequately
managed and the internal control framework is operating effectively, including through the risk identification and management
processes outlined above.
