To make global

supply chains

Trusted digital

trade facilitation

delivered through a

global trade network

that connects our

customers with

their supply chain

ecosystem.

At the heart of it, we are a data company. Our customers supply data from their systems

of record. Supply chain partners demand this data, since this is the information they

require to fulfil their services.

We are connecting with the systems used by the ports, banks, insurance companies and

government. In essence, this creates a network of networks, with all parties working from

the same data - a single source of truth.

Dear shareholders
2022 was a full and exciting year for TradeWindow.

We experienced strong growth in New Zealand

and Australia, continued our evolution to a global

trade platform and listed on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (NZX).

Global trade is undergoing profound change as it

transitions from manual, paper-based processes

to digital. TradeWindow is ahead of this shift. We

are providing the technology to help those involved

in trade - exporters, importers, customs brokers,

freight forwarders - be more efficient, connected

and transparent.

Our focus is to continue to grow in our key markets

of Australia and New Zealand, while continuing to lay

the groundwork for Asia and beyond. Growth will be

underpinned by the development of a global trade

platform, which will evolve from our current suite

of solutions.

Our strategy and priorities

Our strategy, in place at the time of listing in

November, remains unchanged as follows:

• Increasing our market penetration

• Achieving greater usage from existing

customers

• Expanding our product offering

• Attracting, retaining and building the capability

of our people

• Making strategic and targeted acquisitions.

We refer to these key elements of our strategy

in shorthand as Land, Grow, Unify, People

and Acquisitions.

We’re making strong progress on executing our

strategy since our listing on the NZX in November

2021 and have strong business momentum. We are

pleased with the recurring revenue we are attracting,

with 94% of our customers retained over the year.

Trading revenue from subscriber customers is now

at 92% of our total trading revenue.

In New Zealand, organic growth has primarily been

driven by exporters using our trade documentation

solution, Prodoc. In Australia, we have seen

growth in take-up of both our Prodoc and Freight

solutions. Additionally, we are pleased to report that

our flagship connectivity product Cube, released

commercially in January 2022, has already been

adopted by exporters from a range of sectors.

During the year we continued to improve our core

products with 348 enhancements and multiple key

ecosystem integrations, including ocean booking

platform INTTRA and Vero for marine insurance.

We have a talented, committed team who are

focused on delivering growth in New Zealand,

Australia and Asia, as part of our global ambitions.

We have recently appointed senior leadership in

Australia to drive market penetration.

Our listing was a milestone for the company and

we have in place strong organisational capability

and governance, including three independent

directors as well as additional human resources

and finance capability.

In the year to 31 March 2022, TradeWindow made

three acquisitions. In April 2021, TradeWindow

acquired the freight forwarding software solution

Cyberfreight. In October 2021, TradeWindow

acquired customs clearance software solution

SpeEDI and freight quotation software solution

FreightLegend. Following 31 March 2022,

TradeWindow announced the conditional

acquisition of Rfider to further strengthen its

supply chain visibility offering.

Our FY22 acquisitions are not only providing

established customers, they also provide the

capabilities needed to differentiate our global trade

platform. We will consider further acquisitions where

they accelerate our organic growth strategy.

Financial performance

During the 12 months to 31 March 2022, total

income was $4.9 million, up 108% while trading

revenue was $3.9 million, up 136%. Strong revenue

growth reflected additional revenue from new and

existing customers as well as acquisitions. Total

income includes government R&D grants.

When acquisitions completed during FY22 were

excluded, total income was up 35% and trading

revenue was up 32%.

In the past year we have seen existing customers

increase their average monthly spend with

TradeWindow by 16%, and we anticipate a stronger

growth rate going forward. We diversified and

materially increased our customer base through

acquisitions in FY22 to include freight forwarders

and customs brokers. This has resulted in our

overall average monthly revenue per customer

decreasing by 30% during the period, reflecting

freight customers’ lower spend. However, we expect

average monthly revenue to increase as existing and

acquired customers further digitise their operations

and expand the number of TradeWindow solutions

they use.

Total operational expenses were $14.4 million,

up 76%. This largely reflects planned increases to

support current and future growth. This included

substantially increasing the scale and depth of

TradeWindow’s software development team,

increasing our sales and commercialisation

capability and building out the TradeWindow

organisation contemporaneously with the

NZX listing.

Reflecting TradeWindow’s current strategy of

investment for future growth, EBITDA losses were

$9.5 million, an increase from $5.9 million in FY21.

Net losses after tax were $10.8 million, up from

$6.6 million a year ago.

Planned investments are in line with our strategy

and business plans, and our general approach to

research and development of ensuring concurrent

revenue growth alongside software development.

We are pleased with our improvement in gross

margin, up from 36% to 50%, representing our focus

on efficiency and scale.

Capital management

At 31 March 2022, the Group held cash and cash

equivalents of $5.9 million (FY21 $1.4 million). Net

cash outflow over the six months ended 31 March

2022 averaged $1.0 million per month (excluding

acquisition cash settlements in October 2021).

TradeWindow is committed to further investment in

research, development and commercialisation, with

particular focus on building TradeWindow’s global

trade platform, underpinned by Cube. This trade

platform will provide global trade participants with

end-to-end digital trading capability and is central to

TradeWindow’s growth ambitions.

As noted in our Financial Statements, to have

sufficient liquidity in the next 12 months we have

forecast that at least $10 million of additional

debt and equity will need to be raised, assuming

forecast revenues and expenditures are realised,

and excluding any significant acquisitions during the

period. We are actively working with advisors and

major shareholders to determine the best funding

path for future growth.

Environmental, Social & Governance

As an early-stage company, our aim is to embed

sustainability into our thinking and decision-making,

as we build the business. In addition to delivering

solutions which drive greater productivity, digital

connectivity and transparency, we are committed

to demonstrating responsible citizenship through

our environmental, social and governance

(ESG) performance.

This includes maintaining a low environmental

impact, having an open, inclusive and supportive

workplace, making a positive contribution to

our communities, and holding ourselves to high

standards of ethical behaviour, governance

and compliance.

Further information about our ESG performance

and standard is provided on pages 28 to 53.

MARKET ENABLING TRENDSCUSTOMER DEMAND TRENDS

Outlook

TradeWindow is confident in the global trends

driving digital transformation in trade and is

well positioned to take advantage of this shift

with our proven technology.

We have a clear strategy for FY23 and

beyond, with particular focus on continued

revenue growth in New Zealand and Australia,

alongside the building of a global trade

platform.

We expect trading revenue to be within a range

of $5.5 million to $7.0 million, and total income

of $6.0 million to $7.5 million for the FY23 year.

Our guidance for FY23 remains subject to

ongoing geopolitical and environmental

uncertainty including the impact of ongoing

supply chain challenges, and the timing of

customer decisions and implementation of

Cube and other solutions. Our guidance

excludes revenue from any new acquisitions

including the conditional Rfider acquisition

as announced to the NZX in May 2022.

Thank you

We thank our people for all of their dedication

and hard work in the past 12 months. We

also sincerely thank our customers and our

shareholders for your continued support.

MACROECONOMIC TRENDS

Digital trade is centre stage

Market trends have delivered a window of opportunity

The time for digital trade facilitation is right now. The confluence

of market forces, enabling technology and customer demand have

created the perfect environment for transformational change.

Macroeconomic trends including continued supply chain disruptions,

inflation, and the global skills shortage are forcing businesses to be

more efficient and innovative.

Digital Trade

Facilitation

Governance

The Board’s focus in the next 12 months will

continue to be to support management and the

company in monetising existing products and

developing and commercialising a global

trade platform.

To achieve this, we have a strong board in place

with a range of expertise and experience. During

the year I was pleased to join the board as

independent chair, with a governance background

in both software companies and the port sector.

In addition, two independent directors (Phil

Norman and Diana Puketapu) joined the Board -

ahead of our listing on the NZX.

Diana has a strong background in finance and

governance with diverse directorships including

NZX-listed Napier Port Holdings Limited, Ngati

Porou Holdings and New Zealand Cricket. She

also sits on the board of the New Zealand Olympic

Committee. Phil is a professional director and

business advisor for growth companies. He was

founding chairman of Xero Limited for five years

and he chairs a diverse group of NZX and ASX

listed organisations.

The Board has established two committees: the

Audit & Risk Committee, chaired by Diana, and

the Remuneration & Nominations Committee,

chaired by Phil.

We're converging proprietary and acquired solutions into a single global
trade network

Our products’ evolution towards a single, global trade platform has three phases.

At the moment we are in transition from the first phase – an interoperable suite of

solutions - to phase two - a common trade platform.

Investments are being made to move across these three phases, and as we do that,

both our customers and TradeWindow will benefit. With concurrent investment in

building our commercialisation capability, we are monetising these solutions, and

starting to achieve a return on these investments - before we reach phase 3.

Our vision is for a modular platform that consolidates and integrates data, back-end

processes, and automates workflow

At the heart of the proposition for our global trade platform is scale - our ability to increase

the volumes we service without proportionally increasing the cost.

The platform will provide significant benefits for customers through integrated data

and back-end processes and automated workflow. This will come through simplified

technology management, rapid integrations to third parties, single data entry and

consistent user experience. Most importantly it will enable customers to change how they

work for greater cost efficiency and impact – not merely speed up what they are doing.

Environmental,
social & governance

This Environmental, Social and

Governance (‘ESG’) Report, which

incorporates TradeWindow’s

Statement on Governance

was approved by the Board of

TradeWindow Holdings Limited on

10 June 2022 and is accurate as

at that date. The Board does not

undertake any obligation to revise

this Report to reflect events or

circumstances after 10 June 2022

(other than in accordance with the

continuous disclosure requirements

of the applicable Listing Rules).

Introduction

Responsible leadership, characterised by our

values which emphasis accountability, integrity,

competence, responsibility, fairness and

transparency, has been the defining ethos of

TradeWindow, and contributes towards ensuring

corporate citizenship. Decisions, actions and

deliberations are conducted with sensitivity to

the legitimate interests and expectations of all

stakeholders and TradeWindow fully understands

the triple context in which it operates – economy,

society and environment.

TradeWindow exercises leadership within a

governance system to ensure that its mission

is carried out within a framework that promotes

diversity and inclusion, benefits society, protects

the environment and ensures sustainability.

TradeWindow aspires to have a low environmental

impact and we encourage customers, suppliers,

and other stakeholders to do the same.


Environmental

As a software development company TradeWindow

operates in an online environment, with its

operational model primarily utilising office-based

employees. For this reason, TradeWindow’s direct

environmental footprint is relatively small and is

made up largely from third-party data centres,

energy used in its offices, employee travel and from

the typical consumables of an online, office-based

business.

TradeWindow is committed to reduce our

environmental impact as an integral part of our

business strategy and operating methods. Our key

environmental initiatives include:

• Hybrid working – TradeWindow employees

can choose to work from home part of the time,

reducing the carbon emissions associated with

commuting. This practice has substantially

increased, partly as a result of Covid-19 related

lockdowns but also as a result of changes in

employee preferences.

• Tr ave l – We are conscientious when booking

travel and, where possible, combine meetings

to minimise our trips and reduce CO2 emissions.

Covid-19-related travel restrictions meant

almost no employees travelled internationally

during the year under review.

• Paperless office – TradeWindow uses digital

solutions to store and manage company records.

• Low-emission vehicles – TradeWindow’s head

office has a small fleet of Hybrid cars available for

employees to use.

• Cloud-computing – TradeWindow partners with

both Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (‘AWS’)

as providers of cloud services. Microsoft has

been carbon neutral since 2012 and is committed

to zero-waste by 2030. AWS has a long-term

commitment to use 100% renewable energy

b y 2 0 2 7.

• Recycling – Our offices are equipped with, and

staff fully embraces recycling.

2829

Social
TradeWindow is committed to creating an open

workplace where every team member is welcomed,

supported, and inspired, and where diversity is

celebrated. TradeWindow’s diversity and inclusion

principles will be practically implemented across

the business by:

• providing training and education that raises

employee awareness of inclusion and diversity

and associated benefits supported by Trade

Window’s membership to Diversity Works NZ;

• ensuring our recruitment, development and

management approaches enable inclusion and

diversity at all levels;

• ensuring our people receive fair and equitable pay

and benefits;

• enhancing processes and policies to encourage

greater flexibility and diversity;

• entrenching inclusion and diversity in our culture

through engaging internal communications

and events;

• regularly tracking progress against targets; and

• having zero tolerance for harassment,

discrimination, or victimisation.

TradeWindow's growth plans rely on attracting and

retaining highly skilled and experienced subject

matter experts from both commercial and technical

domains. As TradeWindow operates in an industry

that is competitive for talent, the senior leadership

team have been focused on shaping a culture that

people aspire to be a part of. Our environment

is focused on performance, innovation, and

accountability.

Early in TradeWindow’s history, the senior leadership

team came together to define six values that underpin

the Company’s high- performance team culture.

TradeWindow’s values are listed in figure 1. below.

They describe what is important, set expectations,

and guide decisions.

TradeWindow operates in a dynamic, fast-paced

environment. Our people need to continuously

acquire knowledge and learn new skills, as we believe

new ideas spur opportunities for innovation. In

addition to on-the-job training, TradeWindow offers

employees the opportunity to build skills through paid

courses best matched to the needs of the business,

their ambition and experience.

We make wellbeing a priority at TradeWindow. Our

people are provided with health insurance, five days

paid Wellness Leave, and support from a dedicated

Wellness Committee. TradeWindow provides a

stimulating and healthy work environment with

modern offices and flexible working options.


Governance focus

The Board and management of TradeWindow

are committed to ensuring that TradeWindow

maintains corporate governance practices that

are in line with or, where possible, exceed best

practice and that TradeWindow adheres to the

highest ethical standards.

TradeWindow is listed on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (‘NZX Main Board’) and needs to comply

with the NZX Listing Rules. The Board has had

regard to the NZX Listing Rules and a number of

corporate governance recommendations when

establishing its governance framework, including the

current NZX Corporate Governance Code dated 10

December 2020. TradeWindow’s implementation of

these recommendations is set out in the Corporate

Governance Statement.

TradeWindow’s Board has been appointed to protect

and enhance the long-term value of TradeWindow

and to act in the best interests of its shareholders.

The Board is the ultimate decision-making

body of the company and is responsible for the

corporate governance of the company. The role and

responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Board

Charter, which can be found on the investor centre of

the company’s website.

The Board has established two standing Board

Committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s

responsibilities namely the Audit and Risk Committee

and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

An overview of the composition of the Board and

Board Committees is shown below.

The biographical data of the members are set out on

pages 24 - 25 of this Annual Report.

Corporate governance
statement

TradeWindow actively embraces good corporate governance as it protects the

interests of all stakeholders and creates and enhances value over the short

and long term. At TradeWindow, we regularly review our corporate governance

systems and are always looking at opportunities for improvement.

The NZX Listing Rules (‘Listing Rules’) require TradeWindow to formally

report its compliance with the recommendations contained in the NZX Code.

TradeWindow’s implementation of these recommendations is set out in this

Corporate Governance Statement. The Board considers that (unless specifically

stated) TradeWindow’s corporate governance structures, practices and

processes have followed all of the recommendations in the NZX Code since

listing on the NZX on 22 November 2021 until 31 March 2022.

This Corporate Governance Statement was approved by the TradeWindow Board

(the ‘Board’) on 10 June 2022. All of the policies and charters referred to below

are available on our website at https://tradewindow.io/investor-centre Unless

stated otherwise, all of the information in this statement is current as at 31

March 2022. As at 31 March 2022, we comply with the recommendations of the

NZX Corporate Governance Code (‘NZX Code’) in all material respects.

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.”

Recommendation 1.1

The board should document minimum standards of

ethical behaviour to which the issuer's directors and

employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics).

It should outline internal where to find it should be

communicated to the issuer's employees. Training

should be provided regularly reporting procedures

for any breach of ethics, and describe the issuer’s

expectations about behaviour including around

conflicts, acting honestly and with integrity, handling

gifts and whistleblowing.

We are committed to maintaining high standards

of honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct. Our

expectations in this respect are set out in our Code

of Ethics, Continuous Disclosure Policy, and our

Securities Trading Policy.

Employees receive information and training on

ethical conduct, conflict of interest disclosures,

whistleblowing, and securities trading. Breaches

of policy are taken seriously. We have a Policy on

Protected Disclosures which enables employees to

raise breaches of policy confidentially, if required.

We maintain conflicts of interest registers which are

continuously being monitored internally and by the

Board. The key policies are available on our website.

Recommendation 1.2

An issuer should have a financial product dealing

policy for directors and employees

Our Policy on Securities Trading summarises the

law on insider trading and restrictions on Directors

and employees dealing in our shares. The policy

introduces a trading prohibition for Directors and

certain employees (‘Restricted Persons’) at defined

times (‘blackout periods’).

Compliance with the Securities Trading Policy is

monitored through a consent process, through

education and via notification by TradeWindow’s

share registrar (‘Computershare’) when any director

or senior manager trades in TradeWindow securities.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION
& PERFORMANCE

“To ensure an

effective board, there

should be a balance

of independence,

skills, knowledge,

experience and

perspectives.”

Recommendation 2.1

The board of an issuer should operate under

a written charter which sets out the roles and

responsibilities of the board. The board charter

should clearly distinguish and disclose the

respective roles and responsibilities of the

board and management.

The Board Charter sets out the roles and

responsibilities of the Board, its composition,

meeting administration, performance assessment

and relationship with shareholders and stakeholders.

It requires that the Board meets formally at least six

times annually, and clearly distinguishes between the

role of the Board, and the role of management.

The Board delegates responsibility to the CEO for

implementing our strategic direction and day-to-day

operations, as recorded in our Delegated Authorities

Policy. Management provides detailed reports

to the Board to keep the Board up to date with key

operational activities and other aspects, including

financial performance.

The Company Secretary supports the effectiveness

of the Board by ensuring that its policies and

procedures are followed. The Company Secretary

coordinates the completion and dispatch of

the Board agendas and papers and is directly

accountable to the Board, via the Chair, on all

governance matters.

Recommendation 2.2

Every issuer should have a procedure for the

nomination and appointment of Directors to

the board.

The procedure for the appointment and removal of

directors is ultimately governed by the company’s

Constitution and relevant NZX Listing Rules.

TradeWindow’s Board has established a Nomination

and Remuneration Committee with an approved

Charter. The Charter sets out the purpose and

objectives of the committee as well as the role that it

plays in the nomination and appointment of Directors

to the Board.

The majority of committee members are non-

executive, independent directors. It is a requirement

that the Board will be structured to ensure that,

as a collective group, it has the skills, experience,

knowledge, diversity and perspective to fulfil its

purpose and responsibilities.

The Committee makes recommendations to the

board from time to time as to the appointment and

re-election of directors, having regard to the board

composition. It is the responsibility of the Committee

to ensure that individuals that are recommended by

the Committee are suitably qualified for eligibility for

selection as a director.

In nominating candidates, the Committee takes into

consideration the terms of reference for the directors

and such other factors as it deems appropriate, such

as experience, qualifications, character, criminal

record, bankruptcy history, judgment, ability to work

with others, current Board composition and skillset

and diversity and inclusion.

The minimum number of Directors to be appointed to

the TradeWindow Board comprises two independent,

non-executive directors. The Board's standards for

determining independence include the requirements

of the NZX. In particular, the Board will give

preference to the non-exhaustive factors set out in

the NZX Corporate Governance Code (as amended

from time to time).

The Board will assess the independence of directors

on their appointment and at least annually thereafter.

Before any candidate is finally selected, appropriate

fit and proper background checks are undertaken.

Important information about candidates is provided

to shareholders in the notice of meeting at which they

will vote on the appointment of a new Director.

Recommendation 2.3

An issuer should enter into written agreement

with each newly appointed director establishing

the terms of the appointment.

All Directors enter into a written agreement with

TradeWindow. The agreement outlines their

appointment terms, and role requirements, including

time commitments and remuneration, as well as

indemnity and insurance arrangements.

Recommendation 2.4

Every issuer should disclose information about

each director in its annual report or on its website

including a profile of experience, length of service,

independence and ownership interests and

director attendance at board meetings.

Director Profiles are included on pages 24 - 25 of this

Annual Report. Each profile contains information on

the experience, length of service, capacity in which

they serve on the board as well as disclosed interests.

Ownership Interests are provided on pages 121 - 124

of this Annual Report. The table below provides an

overview of Director attendances at board meetings

Recommendation 2.5
An issuer should have a written diversity policy

which includes requirements for the board or a

relevant committee of the board to set measurable

objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a

minimum, should address gender diversity) and

to assess annually both the objectives and the

entity's progress in achieving them. The issuer

should disclose the policy or a summary of it.

TradeWindow is committed to cultivating an

environment that promotes and values diversity

and creating an open workplace where every team

member is welcomed, supported, and inspired.

We believe TradeWindow is a place where all our

employees can express themselves, and our

collective unique differences and experiences

can contribute to the success of our people and

the business.

We are committed to removing perceived or tangible

barriers to becoming part of our team, treating

everyone fairly and respectfully, and providing

equal opportunities based on performance and

potential. We have zero-tolerance for harassment,

discrimination or victimisation. The policy provides

that the Board is responsible for establishing

measurable objectives for achieving diversity which

reflect the principles set out in the policy and which

address, at a minimum, gender diversity.

Each year TradeWindow will review the effectiveness

and relevance of the policy; the metrics to identify

areas for improvement of inclusion and diversity

across the business; and measure TradeWindow’s

performance with respect to the policy, including

that towards achieving the measurable objectives.

The table below sets out the gender balance at

TradeWindow as at 31 March 2022.

Recommendation 2.6

Directors should undertake appropriate training

to remain current on how to best perform their

duties as Directors of an issuer.

The Board normally commits to sessions of

organised visits and meetings focused on some

aspect of the business. Directors also attend two

separate workshops with Management annually to

agree on TradeWindow’s purpose and strategy.

New directors participate in an induction programme,

designed to educate them about TradeWindow

and our governance arrangements. Directors

are expected to fulfil Continuing Professsional

Development obligations of professional

organisations to which they belong.

Recommendation 2.7

An issuer should enter into written agreement

with The board should have a procedure to

regularly assess director, board and committee

performance.

The Board Charter regulates the performance

assessment process of the Board, its committees

and directors. The Board undertakes a bi-annual

evaluation of its performance which includes a review

of the Board's role, Board processes and committees

to support that role; review of the performance of

the Board and each director; and identify and effect

any amendments to the Board Charter if deemed

necessary. An external performance review may be

conducted if required.

Recommendation 2.8

A majority of the board should be independent

Directors.

Three of the current five Directors are independent.

TradeWindow has considered the independence of

its three Independent Directors against the definition

in the NZX Listing Rules, the commentary to

Recommendation 2.4 in the Corporate Governance

Code, and its Board Charter and is satisfied that the

relevant Directors are independent.

Recommendation 2.9

An issuer should have an independent chair of the

board. If the chair is not independent, the chair and

the CEO should be different people.

TradeWindow’s Chair of the Board, Alasdair

MacLeod, is an Independent Director.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
“The board should use

committees where

this will enhance

its effectiveness

in key areas, while

still retaining board

responsibility.”

Recommendation 3.1

An issuer's audit committee should operate

under a written charter. Membership on the audit

committee should be majority independent and

comprise solely of non-executive Directors of the

issuer. The chair of the audit committee should

be an independent director and not the chair of

the board.

TradeWindow has established an Audit and Risk

Committee. The roles and responsibilities are set

out in the Committee Charter. The Audit and Risk

Committee provides advice to the Board in respect

of: external financial reporting; risk management and

processes; internal and external audit processes; and

internal control mechanisms.

The Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee reports

back to the Board at each meeting and makes

recommendations, as necessary. The Committee

reviews its performance against its Charter at least

once a year.

The Audit and Risk Committee comprises three

members, with a maximum of five, the majority of

which are independent directors. The chair of the

Audit and Risk Committee is Diana Puketapu. She

is an independent non-executive director with a

financial background, and she is not the chair of the

Board. Whilst the Audit and Risk Committee does

not solely comprise of non-executive Directors (per

Recommendation 3.1), the Board considers that

Kerry Friend provides important financial experience

and skills that are valuable to the Committee.

Recommendation 3.2

Employees should only attend audit committee

meetings at the invitation of the audit committee.

External advisors, the Chief Financial Officer, Chief

Executive Officer, and others as appropriate may be

invited to attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings

at the discretion and invitation of the Committee.

Invitees may be requested to withdraw from the

meeting at any time by the meeting Committee Chair.

Recommendation 3.3

An issuer should have a remuneration committee

which operates under a written charter (unless

this is carried out by the whole board). At least a

majority of the remuneration committee should be

independent Directors. Management should only

attend remuneration committee meetings at the

invitation of the remuneration committee

TradeWindow has established a Nomination

and Remuneration Committee. The roles and

responsibilities are set out in the Committee

Charter. The Committee's role is to assist the board

in discharging its responsibilities in relation to the

management and risk compliance of statutory

and regulatory requirements in relation to human

resources by the Chief Executive Officer and senior

management; identifying and recommending

candidates to the Board for appointment as a

director; remuneration and benefits policies of

TradeWindow's senior executives and management;

appointment; remuneration and evaluation of the

Chief Executive Officer and succession planning in

relation to him/her; the composition of the board.

Where necessary, it can engage external advisors

for assistance in connection with the suitability of

current or new board members; and reviewing annual

incentive targets and TradeWindow-wide salary and

incentive policies.

The Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee report back to the Board at each meeting

and makes recommendations, as necessary. The

Committee reviews its performance against its

Charter at least once a year.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee

comprises three members, with a maximum of five,

the majority of which are independent directors. The

acting chair of the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee is Alasdair MacLeod. External

advisors, the Chief Financial Officer, and others as

appropriate may be invited to attend Nomination and

Remuneration Committee meetings at the discretion

and invitation of the Committee. Invitees may be

requested to withdraw from the meeting at any time

by the meeting Committee Chair

Recommendation 3.4

An issuer should establish a nomination

committee to recommend director appointments

to the board (unless this is carried out by the whole

board), which should operate under a written

charter. At least a majority of the nomination

committee should be independent Directors.

As previously indicated, the company does not have

a standalone nomination committee but instead

merged the function into the Nomination and

Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and

Remuneration Committee operates under a written

charter and the majority of the Committee members

are non-executive, independent directors.

As indicated under recommendation 2.2 the

committee’s role is to recommend director

appointments to the board with due consideration

to the terms of reference for the directors and such

other factors as it deems appropriate, such as

experience, qualifications, character, criminal record,

bankruptcy history, judgment, ability to work with

others, current Board composition and skillset and

diversity and inclusion.

Recommendation 3.5

An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate

to have any other board committees as standing

board committees. All committees should operate

under written charters. An issuer should identify

the members of each of its committees, and

periodically report member attendance.

The board charter enables the Board to establish

other committees, as required from time to time. The

two established committees are the Audit and Risk

Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration

committee, each with its own charter. Membership

and attendance is provided in the table under

recommendation 2.4.

Recommendation 3.6

The board should establish appropriate protocols

that set out the procedure to be followed if

there is a takeover offer for the issuer including

any communication between insiders and the

bidder. The board should disclose the scope of

independent advisory reports to shareholders.

These protocols should include the option of

establishing an independent takeover committee,

and the likely composition and implementation of

an independent takeover committee.

TradeWindow’s Takeovers Policy sets out the

process to be followed if there is a takeover offer.

The Policy records that the Board may establish

an independent Takeover Committee to manage

this process.

3839

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING &
DISCLOSURE

“The board should

demand integrity

in financial and

non-financial

reporting, and in

the timeliness and

balance of corporate

disclosures.”

Recommendation 4.1

An issuer’s board should have a written continuous

disclosure policy.

Our Continuous Disclosure Policy reflects

TradeWindow’s commitment to: maintaining a fully

informed market through effective communication

with the NZX, the Company’s shareholders, investors,

analysts, media and other interested parties (together

“stakeholders”); and providing all stakeholders with

equal and timely access to material information

concerning the Company that is accurate, balanced,

meaningful and consistent.

Everyone is required to be familiar with the Policy and

associated procedures. Directors and Management

are primarily responsible for compliance with our

continuous disclosure obligations.

Recommendation 4.2

An issuer should make its code of ethics,

board and committee charters and the policies

recommended in the NZX Code, together with any

other key governance documents, available on

its website.

TradeWindow’s Code of Ethics, board and committee

charters and policies as recommended in the NZX

Code and other key documents are available on the

Company’s website.

Recommendation 4.3

Financial reporting should be balanced, clear

and objective.

Financial reporting and integrity remain the

responsibility of the Board.

The Audit and Risk Committee closely monitors

financial reporting risks in relation to the preparation

of the financial statements. The Audit and Risk

Committee, with the assistance of management,

also works to ensure that the financial statements

are founded on a sound and effective system of risk

management and internal control.

After approval by the Audit and Risk Committee,

the complete set of financial statements and

related audit report is submitted to the full Board

for approval. Management makes detailed

representations to the Board to assist them in their

consideration of the draft financial statements.

TradeWindow’s full and half-year financial

statements are prepared in accordance with relevant

financial standards. The Board remains ultimately

responsible for overseeing and reviewing the

Company's audit, risk management and compliance

systems to protect the Company's assets and

minimise the possibility of the Company operating

beyond legal requirements or beyond acceptable

risk parameters.

The Board further oversees the accounting and

reporting systems (including the external audit)

to ensure that the Company provides continuous

disclosure of information to the investment

community and that shareholders have all the

information available that they may reasonably

require to make informed assessments of the

Company's prospects.

TradeWindow is committed to ensuring the

integrity and timeliness of its financial reporting,

and to providing information to shareholders in a

timely manner.

Recommendation 4.4

An issuer should provide non-financial disclosure

at least annually, including considering

environmental, economic and social sustainability

factors and practices. It should explain how

operational or non-financial targets are measured.

Non-financial reporting should be informative,

include forward looking assessments, and align

with key strategies and metrics monitored by

the board.

To assist shareholders to make meaningful

investment decisions, in addition, to reporting

historical statutory financial information,

TradeWindow is committed to providing

shareholders with a balanced and understandable

assessment of its performance, business model,

strategic objectives and progress against meeting

those objectives at each earnings announcement

and in its full-year reports.

TradeWindow is committed to developing long-

term value creation. As part of this commitment,

TradeWindow’s Board is focused on delivering

a sustainable future for its business, people,

customers and communities by doing what is right.

The Company's ESG report provides an overview of

how TradeWindow has both positively and negatively

impacted the economic life of the community in

which it operated during the year under review.

Sustainability is interlinked with the Company’s

governance, strategy, risks and opportunities and

key performance indicators. The ESG report also

provides a forward-looking statement on how the

Board believes that it can improve the positive

aspects and eradicate or ameliorate the negative

aspects concerning environmental, economic and

social sustainability factors and practices in the

coming year. Our ESG framework remains under

development and will continue to be progressed

over time.

4041

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
“The remuneration

of Directors and

executives should be

transparent, fair and

reasonable.”

Recommendation 5.1

An issuer should recommend director

remuneration to shareholders for approval in

a transparent manner. Actual director

remuneration should be clearly disclosed in

the issuer's annual report.

Our Continuous Disclosure Policy reflects The

Nomination and Remuneration Committee is

responsible for reviewing and recommending

Directors’ remuneration to the Board for approval.

Directors' remuneration is paid in the form of

directors' fees.

The total fee pool available to be paid to directors is

subject to shareholder approval unless there has

been an increase in the number of directors following

approval of the total fee pool by shareholders, in

which case additional remuneration may be payable

if permitted by the NZX Listing Rules.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee

obtains an independent review of remuneration and,

if a change is proposed, makes that review available

to shareholders, who then vote on the proposed

remuneration at the applicable annual meeting.

Current Directors’ remuneration is set out in the

statutory information section of the annual report.

Recommendation 5.2

An issuer should have a remuneration policy for

remuneration of Directors and officers, which

outlines the relative weightings of remuneration

components and relevant performance criteria.

Our Strategic Remuneration Policy is designed to

ensure that TradeWindow meets the strategic policy

objective of attracting, rewarding, and retaining staff

with the requisite skills and capabilities to ensure

successful business outcomes.

Directors' remuneration is paid in the form of

directors' fees. The remuneration of Executives

may be made up of both fixed remuneration (base

salary) and may also include short-term incentives

(STIs) and long-term incentives (LTIs) as a means

to encourage and incentivise the delivery of

performance and align interests with shareholders.

STIs aim to reward the achievement of prescribed

performance measures; and LTIs aim to reward the

achievement of performance measures that are

measured over a longer-term. The Employment

Share Option Scheme (ESOP) governs the award

of STIs and LTIs, its vesting, exercise and rights.

Any benefits from the LTIs are based on company

performance rather than individual performance

and paid in addition to the market salary and other

benefits agreed with the participating employees.

Vesting of annual awards is monitored to ensure that

the value vested in any one year does not exceed

5% of market capitalisation, as required by NZX

Listing Rules.

Recommendation 5.3

An issuer should disclose the remuneration

arrangements in place for the CEO in its annual

report. This should include disclosure of the

base salary, short-term incentives and long-term

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.”

Recommendation 6.1

An issuer should have a risk management

framework for its business and the issuer's board

should receive and review regular reports. An

issuer should report the material risks facing the

business and how these are being managed.

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for

reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness of the

Company’s Risk Management Policy (available on the

website) and Risk Management Framework (RMF),

and the maintenance of appropriate risk culture

within TradeWindow.

ISO 31000 sets out eight principles of effective

and efficient risk management which have been

incorporated by TradeWindow in its Risk RMF. The

goal of the RMF is to apply a consistent methodology

for assessing the risks faced by TradeWindow.

It provides the foundation for effective risk

management and ensures significant risks and

their potential business impacts are identified and

assessed in a timely manner.

The risk assessment process covers risk

identification, analysis and evaluation. The Audit

and Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing risk

capacity and exposure limits (risk appetite) and the

alignment of TradeWindow's risk profile within limits

set by the Board. The Committee regularly monitors

and reviews the Company's material business risks

and management of these risks as well as overseeing

key risk‐related processes and functions.

The Committee is required to report to the Board on

the effectiveness of the risk-related processes and

functions with respect to material business risks, as

appropriate. In carrying out these responsibilities,

the Committee reviews with management regularly

and with the external auditors on at least an annual

basis, the significant risks within the Company’s Risk

Registers and reviews how they have been assessed

and managed.

The Committee also assesses the effectiveness of

the related system of internal control in managing

the significant risks, having regard to any significant

failings or weaknesses in internal control that have

been reported and considers whether necessary

actions are being taken promptly to remedy any

significant failings or weaknesses. In addition,

the Committee reviews accounting and financial

human resources and succession planning within

the Company; the adequacy of insurance at each

insurance renewal and recommends to the Board

any significant changes to insurance cover;

and considers the adequacy of business

continuity planning.

The Board has ultimate responsibility for

TradeWindow’s risk management and internal

control system. TradeWindow proactively and

consistently manages its risk to enhance and

protect the Company’s value by delivering on

our commitment to all stakeholders, pursuing

opportunities in an informed way and in line with

the Board’s risk appetite and by ensuring a safe and

secure work environment for all stakeholders.

The RMF defines parameters regarding

TradeWindow’s Calculated Residual risk scoring

system whereby Likelihood, Severity, and Control

Effectiveness are defined. The inherent risk score is

calculated as Likelihood x Severity. The residual risk

score is calculated as Likelihood x Severity x Control

Effectiveness.

TradeWindow uses Nintex Promapp as risk

management tool to ensure that risks are connected

with the core business processes which makes

risk management more effective and efficient with

comprehensive visibility and controls.

4445

REAL OR PERCEIVED ERRORS,
FAILURES, DEFECTS OR BUGS

TradeWindow’s solutions are put through several phases of testing

including working with a small group of customers, to conduct ‘real-

world’ usability testing. Once a solution has been commercially

released, risk is further mitigated with a continued focus to deliver

comprehensive customer support in the event of product failure, to

minimise the negative impact on customers.

CYBERSECURITY RISKTradeWindow maintains ISO accreditation and conducts ongoing

penetration testing. Data encryption is in place (at rest and in

transit) as well as password protection and 2 Factor authentication.

Continuous log capturing and system monitoring is in place as well

as internal training on cybersecurity risks.

EMPLOYEE ATTRACTION,

RETENTION

TradeWindow has in place a number of measures intended

to mitigate the risks regarding employee attraction and

retention, including:

• the implementation of an appropriate employee share scheme

with milestones linked to targets of TradeWindow, to allow

employees to be able to share in the success and growth of the

company in a meaningful way;

• an appropriate employee compensation structure and benefits

programme for an organisation of its size and nature which will

continue to be monitored;

• provision of paid courses and on-the-job training providing

employees with the tools and support needed to define a career

pathway best matched to their ambitions, skills, and experience;

• strong focus on culture and values of the company, to create a

reputation of a market-leading employer; and

• the provision of wide-ranging staff benefits with a focus on

wellbeing, including the provision of paid health insurance,

flexible working arrangements and additional leave days.

SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONSTradeWindow operational and financial performance is highly

correlated with the strength of the economies in which it has

customers. TradeWindow seeks to diversify its customer base

across industries and geographies to minimise impact.

OPERATING IN COMPETITIVE

MARKETS

TradeWindow has in place measures aiming to mitigate the risk

of losing customers to competition, including through continued

engagement, attentive customer service and support, and a

pipeline of updates to features and functionality which are designed

to improve the user experience.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND

REGULATIONS

TradeWindow’s policies and procedures are designed to comply

with laws and regulations of a particular subject matter generally.

TradeWindow makes use of internal and external legal expertise

and other advisors to review and ensure optimal compliance.

INABILITY TO

PROTECTINTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY RIGHTS

TradeWindow enters into non-disclosure agreements with its

employees, licensees and other third parties who may have access

to intellectual property and confidential and proprietary information

to protect its intellectual property rights and prevent unauthorised

use, disclosure, or reverse engineering of its technology.

STRATEGIC ACQUISITION RISKTradeWindow develops a business plan in support of each

acquisition which demonstrate positive returns and/or strategic

advantages. TradeWindow’s acquisition process also includes

commercial, legal, and technical due diligence. An implementation

plan with monitoring mechanism ensures integration, monitoring,

and reporting.

EARLY-STAGE BUSINESSTradeWindow’s performance depends on the widespread adoption

of digital trade solutions by mainstream exporters, importers,

freight forwarders, and customs brokers.

LIQUIDITY RISKTradeWindow is an early-stage business that relies on investor

capital until the Company reaches its break-even point.

TradeWindow manages its liquidity risk with:

• financial forecast and budgets to plan and monitor cashflows;

• monthly financial performance reporting to monitor and delivery

of the business plan.

The table below provides an overview of the material risks facing

the Company and how these are being managed.

Material Risks

4647

Recommendation 6.2
An issuer should disclose how it manages health

and safety risks and should report on its health and

safety risks, performance and management.

TradeWindow measures proactive and reactive

measures of health, safety, and wellbeing. These

include near miss and new hazard frequency rates, an

injury severity frequency rate, and a total recordable

injury frequency rate, (TRIFR). To manage these

risks, we formed project teams to actively focus on

controls and awareness; ensure safety messages are

clear and learnings shared; and reviewed our safety

culture and emergency preparedness.

TradeWindow has adopted a Health and Safety

Policy that requires TradeWindow’s people to take all

practicable steps to provide a working environment

that promotes health and wellbeing while minimising

the potential for risk, personal injury, ill-health

or damage. We are committed to providing and

maintaining a safe and healthy working environment

for our employees, visitors, and all people using our

premises as a workplace. To enable this, we:

• Set health and safety objectives and performance

criteria for all managers and work areas

• Annually review health and safety objectives

and managers’ performance against these

• Actively encourage the accurate and timely

reporting and recording of all incidents

and injuries

• Investigate all reported incidents and injuries to

ensure all contributing factors are identified and,

where appropriate, plans are developed to take

corrective action

• Actively encourage people to report any pain or

discomfort early on

• Provide a treatment and rehabilitation plan that

ensures a safe, early and durable return to work

• Identify all existing and new hazards and take all

practicable steps to eliminate, isolate or minimise

the exposure to significant hazards

• Ensure all employees are aware of the hazards

in their work area and are adequately trained

to enable them to perform their duties in a safe

manner

• Encourage employee consultation and

participation in all matters relating to health

and safety

• Promote a system of continuous improvement –

this includes reviewing policies and procedures

each year

• Work together to meet our obligations under the

Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, the Health

and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995,

codes of practice, and any relevant standards

or guidelines

Every manager, supervisor or foreperson has a

responsibility for the health and safety of employees

working under their direction. Every employee is

expected to share in this commitment to health and

safety in the workplace. The Board reviews health

and safety reports at each Board meeting and

oversees a detailed programme of work to ensure

TradeWindow remains compliant with its health

and safety obligations under relevant health and

safety legislation

TradeWindow is focused on the well-being and

mental health of all our people and supporting

employees to feel and perform at their best.

TradeWindow supports staff by providing an

outsourced globally accessible Employee Assistance

Programme, which is promoted to encourage usage.

In addition, our wellness programme continued to

receive positive feedback from participants and

was reinforced throughout our period of remote

working during the Covid-19 pandemic, encouraging

personal innovation, connectedness, resilience and

personal support.

TradeWindow ensured rigorous health and safety

practices throughout the pandemic, which included

making swift decisions to close offices, providing

personal protective equipment and encouraging

social distancing and high levels of hygiene practices

when offices did reopen. TradeWindow introduced

new heightened levels of communication throughout

our organisation while employees were working from

home. The Covid policy is under revision.

As a result, we saw strong employee engagement

and retention throughout the year. These practices

will carry through to the future, and with offices

being able to reopen we are now evolving lessons

learned from Covid-19 to further improve our flexible

working practices to encourage increased levels of

employee wellbeing.

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
“The board should

ensure the quality

and independence

of the external

audit process.”

Recommendation 7.1

The board should establish a framework for the

issuer's relationship with its external auditors.

This should include procedures (a) for sustaining

communication with the issuer's external auditors;

(b) to ensure that the ability of the external

auditors to carry out their statutory audit role is

not impaired, or could reasonably be perceived to

be impaired; (c) to address what, if any, services

(whether by type or level) other than their statutory

audit roles may be provided by the auditors to

the issuer; (d) To provide for the monitoring and

approval by the issuer's audit committee of any

service provided by the external auditors to the

issuer other than in their statutory audit role.

The Audit and Risk Committee plays a key role in

TradeWindow’s relationship with its auditors, and

the audit process generally. It is responsible for

recommending the appointment of the external

auditors to the Board, overseeing the independence

and the work of the external auditors; as well as

reviewing policies for the provision of non-audit

services by the external auditors (including the

framework for pre-approval of any such services).

The Committee meets regularly with KPMG,

our external auditor, including meeting without

management. The Committee annually reviews

and assesses KPMG’s performance through an

internal questionnaire. The results, key themes and

recommendations are reported to the Board. A

representative from KPMG will attend our annual

meeting to answer shareholders’ questions.

KPMG confirmed their independence from the

Company to the Audit and Risk Committee in March

2022. Non-audit services performed by KPMG are

closely examined by Management and the Chair

of the Audit and Risk Committee prior to engaging

KPMG for these additional services, to ensure that

they do not compromise KPMG’s independence.

TradeWindow’s policy on Auditor Independence is

available on our website. The objective of the policy is

to ensure that TradeWindow's auditors carry out their

functions independently and without impairment,

safeguarding the reliability and credibility of

TradeWindow’s external financial reporting.

The Policy recognises the importance of the Board’s

role in facilitating frank dialogue among the Audit and

Risk Committee, the auditor and management.

The rotation of TradeWindow’s client service partner

and the Key Audit Partner (as that term is defined

in the NZX Listing Rules) of TradeWindow and its

subsidiaries will be required every five years with

suitable succession planning to ensure consistency.

Those partners are subject to a mandatory two-year

stand-down period to be completed before those

partners can next be engaged by TradeWindow.

Recommendation 7.2

The external auditor should attend the issuer's

Annual Meeting to answer questions from

shareholders in relation to the audit.

KPMG, as external auditor, shall be invited to the

Company's annual shareholders' meeting, and will be

available to answer any questions from shareholders

in relation to the audit.

Recommendation 7.3

Internal audit functions should be disclosed.

TradeWindow does not have a dedicated internal

auditor, instead, internal controls are managed on a

day-to-day basis by the finance team. Compliance

with internal controls is reviewed annually by

TradeWindow’s auditor. The Board and finance team

regularly consider how TradeWindow can improve its

internal audit and risk management practices during

TradeWindow’s annual governance review, regular

risk reviews, preparation of interim and full-year

financial statements and following TradeWindow’s

annual audit.

5051

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
& RELATIONS

“The board should

respect the rights

of shareholders and

foster constructive

relationships with

shareholders that

encourage them

to engage with

the issuer.”

Recommendation 8.1

The board should establish a framework for the

An issuer should have a website where investors

and interested stakeholders can access financial

and operational information and key corporate

governance information about the issuer.

The Investor Centre on our website is the primary

information channel for shareholders. It includes:

• A share price feed, historical pricing and

trading data.

• Announcements, disclosures, annual and interim

reports, investor presentations, and other news.

• Corporate governance documents such as

Charters and Policies, the Company Profile and

this Corporate Governance Statement.

• Financial Reports

• Annual meeting materials and recordings.

• Share registry information.

In addition to the above, updates on our activities

are posted on our social media channels (LinkedIn

and Facebook).

Recommendation 8.2

An issuer should allow investors the ability to

easily communicate with the issuer, including

providing the option to receive communications

from the issuer electronically.

Contact information for the investor relations

team is on the contacts page of our website. We

aim to respond to all enquiries in a timely manner.

Shareholders can elect to receive TradeWindow

communications either electronically or via mail.

Our share registry (Computershare) manages

this process.

Recommendation 8.3

Quoted equity security holders should have the

right to vote on major decisions which may change

the nature of the issuer in which they are invested.

Our Constitution, the Companies Act 1993

and the NZX Listing Rules afford shareholders

the right to vote on certain matters affecting

TradeWindow. Shareholders can vote at any meeting

of shareholders in person or by using a proxy or

representative. On a show of hands or by voice (at the

election of the Chair), each shareholder attending in

person, by proxy or by their representative has one

vote (for each fully paid Share).

To the extent permitted by the Act, and if applicable,

the NZX Rules, the Board may allow shareholders

to vote by signifying their assent or dissent by

electronic means (including, for the avoidance of

doubt, voting on a personal computer, with such vote

being transmitted to the meeting), instead of the

Shareholder voting by another method permitted

by the Act or this Constitution. If a poll is taken, each

shareholder attending in person, by proxy or by their

representative has one vote per fully paid-up share

they hold. Postal votes are not permitted unless the

Board notifies shareholders otherwise.

Further information on shareholder voting rights is

set out in TradeWindow’s Constitution (available on

the website)

Recommendation 8.4

If seeking additional equity capital, issuers of

quoted equity securities should offer further

equity securities to existing equity security

holders of the same class on a pro rata basis, and

on no less favourable terms, before further equity

securities are offered to other investors.

The Board is responsible for considering the interests

of all existing equity holders when assessing their

capital raising options. TradeWindow has not sought

additional equity capital since listing on the NZX to

the period ended 31 March 2022.


Recommendation 8.5

The board should ensure that the notices of

annual or special meetings of quoted equity

security holders is posted on the issuer's website

as soon as possible and at least 20 working days

prior to the meeting.

The Company will hold its annual meeting of

Shareholders in September 2022. A Notice of

Meeting will be issued at least 20 working days before

the meeting. A recording of the meeting will be made

available afterwards on the Investor Centre page of

the Company’s website.

Consolidated statement of cash flows

Notes to the
consolidated

financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

6968

Trade Window Holdings Limited is a profit

orientated entity.

Trade Window Holdings Limited is incorporated

and domiciled in New Zealand and is a company

registered under the Companies Act 1993.

Consolidated financial statements for the Group are

presented. The consolidated financial statements of

Trade Window Holdings Limited (company) as at and

for the year ended 31 March 2022 comprise of the

Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as

the Group and individually as subsidiaries).

Trade Window Holdings Limited was incorporated

on 10 September 2021 for the purpose of being the

holding company for Trade Window Limited. Prior to

Trade Window Holdings Limited's incorporation,

the Group comprised of Trade Window Limited and

its subsidiaries.

The subsidiaries are set out in note 17.

The principal activities of the Group during the year

were developing and commercialising technology

solutions that provide international trade participants

with a secure platform and tools to establish trust

and trade globally in an efficient manner across

interconnected networks.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand ('NZ GAAP'). They comply

with the New Zealand Equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards and other applicable

Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate

for Tier 1 for-profit entities. The consolidated

financial statements of the Group also comply with

1 General information and

statement of compliance

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The financial statements were authorised for issue by

the directors on the date included on the inside cover

page. The Group is a reporting entity for the purposes

of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and its financial

statements comply with that Act.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been

consistently applied to all periods presented in these

financial statements. Where applicable, certain

comparatives have been reclassified to comply

with the accounting presentation adopted in the

current year to ensure consistency with the current

year classification.

Comparative information

Trade Window Holdings Limited (TWHL) was

incorporated as part of the Trade Window listing

process. TWHL effectively acquired Trade Window

Limited (TWL) on 19 November 2021. This was

achieved through a share exchange where 10 TWHL

shares were issued for 1 TWL share. TWHL is now

the parent entity and listed on the NZX. There was no

other change operationally and TWHL was effectively

inserted above TWL. The comparative financial

statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 are

those of TWL and its subsidiaries only and reflect

the fact that the insertion of TWHL is, in substance, a

continuation of the existing group.

Going concern
The Group prepares its financial statements on a

going concern basis and expects to be able to realise

its assets and meet its financial obligations in the

normal course of business.

The Group is an early-stage organisation that is

currently investing heavily in the development and

commercialisation of a Global Trade Platform and

as such has reported a loss for the year ended 31

March 2022 of $10.8 million (2021: $6.6 million),

and operating cash outflows of $8.5 million

(2021:$4.6 million), and is projected to continue to

incur expenditure in excess of revenue for a period

of at least 12 months from the date of issuing these

financial statements. For the Group to continue

as a going concern, it is dependent on its ability

to continue to raise significant equity and/or debt

funding to support continued product development

and commercialisation of its products.

As an early-stage business further capital raising

prior to achieving profitability was anticipated and

this was indicated in the Company’s listing profile

in November 2021. Management has been closely

monitoring forecast cash reserves each month with

specific regard to the timing of a future capital raise.

The Board-approved FY23 annual budget and

three-year financial forecast plans to raise sufficient

capital to provide around 24 months forecast cash

requirements which will provide sufficient liquidity

to satisfy its financial obligations and comply with

the terms of its debt facilities for a period of at least

12 months from the issuance of these financial

statements should there be a reasonably possible

downside in underlying assumptions. Key to the

forecasts are relevant assumptions regarding the

business and success of its products, business

model, any legal or regulatory restrictions, financing,

and shareholder support, including the future capital

raise. The inputs to the assumptions have been

stress tested against a range of scenarios including

a reduction in revenue without commensurate cost

cutting, and a reduction in the target for the planned

capital raise.

As at 31 March 2022 the Group held cash and cash

equivalents of $5.9 million (2021: $1.4 million)

and projects adequate cash available through to

September 2022, by which time it is anticipated that

the Group will have raised additional capital. To have

sufficient liquidity for a period of at least 12 months

from the issuance of these financial statements

the Group has forecast that at least $10 million of

additional debt and equity will need to be raised,

assuming forecast revenues and expenditures are

realised, and there are no significant acquisitions

during the period.

The Directors do acknowledge that until a capital

raising is complete, there is material uncertainty

concerning the Group's ability to achieve its financial

forecasts which may cast significant doubt on the

Group's ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to

continue as a going concern.

Should the Group not raise sufficient debt and equity

financing to fund projected cashflow deficits, the

Group may not be able to continue as a going concern

and realise the value in its assets and discharge its

liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors consider the Group to be a going

concern and believe that the Group will achieve its

financial forecasts and secure projected funding

requirements such that the Group will be able to meet

its contractual obligations in the foreseeable future.


Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the

historical cost basis.

These financial statements are presented in New

Zealand dollars ($) which is the Company's functional

currency, rounded to the nearest dollar. They have

been prepared on a GST exclusive basis except for

receivables and payables that are stated inclusive

of GST.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements

in conformity with NZ IFRS and IFRS requires

management to make judgements, estimates

and assumptions that affect the application of

accounting policies and the reported amounts of

assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual

results may differ from these estimates.

The principal areas of judgement in preparing these

financial statements are set out below. Information

about critical judgements in applying accounting

policies that have the most significant effect on the

amounts recognised in the financial statements is

included in the following notes

• Note 3.1 Revenue, in determining the revenue

recognition of implementation revenue.

• Note 11 Leases, on determining whether

a contract contains a lease, lease terms,

incremental borrowing rate and lease

renewal options.

• Note 18 Business acquisitions, in determining

the fair value of the consideration transferred,

and fair value of the assets acquired and

liabilities assumed.

• Note 20 Convertible notes, on its classification

as equity (in 2021).

Covid-19

The year to 31 March 2022 presented a challenging

environment as various restrictive lockdowns

continued, however Trade Window continued

to operate effectively to service and support its

customers and to develop its products which are

enabling organisations to move away from traditional

on-premise and paper based operations.

While there has been no material impact on sales,

the restrictions on physical movement have

delayed the Australian market development. There

has been no impact of COVID-19 on the statement of

financial position.

Trade Window and its subsidiaries have not taken any

government relief subsidies available to companies

as a result of COVID-19 during the year ended

31 March 2022.

New accounting standards and

interpretations

No new standards have been issued for the period

ended 31 March 2022 that materially impact the

Group.

New accounting standards and

interpretations issued but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these consolidated

financial statements, there are no new accounting

standards or interpretations issued but not yet

adopted that are expected to have a material impact

on the Group.

Basis of consolidation
Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations

using the acquisition method when the acquired

set of activities and assets meets the definition of a

business and control is transferred to the Group. In

determining whether a particular set of activities and

assets is a business, the Group assesses whether

the set of assets and activities acquired includes,

at a minimum, an input and substantive process

and whether the acquired set has the ability to

produce outputs.

The consideration transferred in the acquisition is

generally measured at fair value, as are the identified

net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is

tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain

purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except

if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. The

consideration transferred does not include amounts

related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships.

Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.

The Group controls an entity when it 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. The

financial statements of subsidiaries are included in

the consolidated financial statements from the date

on which control commences until the date on which

control ceases.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary,

it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the

subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests

and other components of equity. Any resulting gain

or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest

retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair

value when control is lost.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra company (refer to Note 17) balances and

transactions, and any unrealised income and

expenses (except for foreign currency transaction

gains and losses) arising from intra-group

transactions, are eliminated.

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to

the respective functional currencies of Group entities

at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies at the reporting date are

retranslated to the functional currency at the

exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain

or loss on monetary items is the difference between

amortised cost in the functional currency at the

beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest

and payments during the year, and the amortised

cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange

rate at the end of the year.

The foreign currency translation reserve arises

from the translation of the Group's overseas

operations into the presentation currency of these

financial statements.

2 Significant

accounting policies

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial

assets are reviewed at each reporting date to

determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, then the

asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill

and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested

annually for impairment.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying

amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit

(CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the

greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs

to sell. Fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) is

deemed to be the more appropriate method given

the Group is an early-stage business hence there

are difficulties in assessing WACC, forecast revenue,

cash flows and forecast accuracy. Further, as a

publicly listed entity, the fair value can be

easily ascertained.

Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs

to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated

so that the level at which impairment testing is

performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill

is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill

acquired in a business combination is allocated to

groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the

synergies of the combination

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs

are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of

any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs),

and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other

assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not

reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is

reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying

amount does not exceed the carrying amount that

would have been determined, net of depreciation

or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been

recognised.

3.1 Revenue

The Group generates revenue primarily from

customers subscribing to and utilising its software

platforms. In the following table, revenue from

contracts with customers is disaggregated by

primary nature and timing of revenue recognition.

Revenue policy

Revenue is measured based on the consideration

specified in the contract with a customer. The Group

recognises revenue when it transfers control of a

good or service to a customer. Revenue is disclosed

net of credit notes and discounts. Unbilled revenue

at year end is recognised as contract asset and

any unearned revenue at year end is recognised as

contract liabilities. See table 3.2 for details of contract

assets and liabilities at year end.

Transactional revenue

Transactional revenue is recorded at the time the

transactions are processed by the customer using

the Group’s software platforms. Transaction revenue

is based on volume of usage and is recognised at a

point in time. Customers are invoiced monthly and

have payment terms of up to 30-days.

Subscription revenue

Subscription revenue comprises recurring monthly

fees from customers who have subscribed to the

Group’s software platforms. The fee provides the

customer with access to the various software

platforms, regular software updates and customer

support services. Subscription revenue is invoiced

either in advance or monthly in arears, depending

on the software product. Subscription revenue is

recognised over time as the service are used or

delivered by the customer. Customers are mainly

invoiced monthly and have payment terms of up to

30-days.

Service revenue

Service revenue relates to ad-hoc customer support

services outside of the scope of the standard support

agreement. The services are mainly for customer

support to customers who request non- standard

customisation or assistance with a specific project.

Service revenue is recognised over time as the

service is delivered to the customer, these range

from a few hours to a week. Customers are invoiced

monthly and have payment terms of up to 30-days.

Installation revenue

Installation revenue comprises of one-off installation,

software customisation and user training services.

The Group has assessed that installation is a

separate performance obligation for certain

products, and all the activities are considered as one

performance obligation which is satisfied over the

term of the contract as the customer simultaneously

receives and consumes the benefits provided to

them. After the software is installed, the customers

subscribe to ongoing maintenance and support

services to ensure that the software is regularly

maintained by the Group. The majority of the Group’s

Prodoc, Cube and Speedi customers also pay a

transaction based fee for usage of the software

products enabling the customer to match the cost

to their seasonal cash inflows. The installation and

transaction fees for Prodoc are a single performance

obligation and are recognised over the contract

period. The Group uses the output method of

measuring progress of installation as it fairly

depicts the entity’s performance towards complete

satisfaction of the performance condition. Majority

of customers are invoiced in advance and then on a

monthly basis and have payment terms of up to

30- days.

3.2 Contract balances

The following table provides information about

receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities

from contracts with customers.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to advance

consideration the Group received from customers

for installation and for subscribing to its software

platforms, for which revenue is recognised over time.

The contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s

rights to consideration for work completed but not

billed at the reporting date. Contract assets are

assessed for impairment under the requirements

in the financial instruments standard. Any

unconditional rights to consideration are presented

separately as a receivable.

Information about remaining performance obligation

has not been provided as these have an expected

duration of less than 12 months.

Grant income and wage subsidy
The Group is entitled to the Government's R&D

project grant scheme which makes it eligible to a

percentage reimbursement of project related costs

through Callaghan Innovation. Where the grant

relates to expenditure, it is recognised as income over

the periods in which the expenditure is incurred.

The Group is also eligible for the IRD’s Research

& Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) scheme

which allows for a 15% tax credit for eligible R&D

expenditure not claimed under any other scheme.

In 2021, the Group was also entitled to the R&D

experience funding grant for someone engaged in

undergraduate or postgraduate study to work on

a R&D project.

The Group is entitled to NZTE’s International

Growth Fund Grant to assist with acceleration of

growth in the Australian market. This Grant allows

for reimbursement of up to 50% of actual costs

incurred in carrying out pre-approved growth

projects in Australia.

The Group received government grants in 2021 in

relation to a wage subsidy programme introduced

in New Zealand in response to the COVID-19

coronavirus pandemic. Wage Subsidies received

were recognised in profit or loss in 'other income',

the related wages and salaries for employees were

recognised in the profit or loss as "Employee

Benefits Expense".

The research and development (R&D) tax loss cash-

out is a 28% refund of the Groups tax losses from

eligible R&D activity. R&D tax losses cashed-out

reduce the Groups business losses carried forward to

future years. The rules focus on start-up companies

engaging in intensive R&D, and are intended to reduce

their exposure to market failures and tax distortions

arising from the general tax treatment of losses. It is

intended to provide a cashflow timing benefit only.

Note 7 — Income tax

Income tax policy
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and

is calculated using rates enacted or substantively

enacted at balance date. Current tax and deferred

tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent

that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or

other comprehensive income, in which case the tax

is recognised as an adjustment against the item to

which it relates.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable

on the taxable income or loss for the year, using

tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the

reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in

respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary

differences between the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the

amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is

not recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent

that it is probable that future taxable profits will be

available against which the asset can be utilised.

The Group has $20,694,140 (2021: $9,970,390)

of tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has

been recognised in the statement of financial

position as it is not probable that the Group will

be achieving sufficient taxable profits in the

foreseeable future.

Cash and cash equivalents policy

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash

balances and call deposits used by the Group in the

management of its short-term commitments.

Restricted cash is comprised of cash balances held

with Commonwealth Bank Australia of $98,604

(2021: $Nil), that is held as a rent guarantee over one

of the leases.

to a maximum of $150,000; which was temporarily

increased to $350,000 in the prior financial year. The

interest rate at balance date was 6.23% (2021: 6%)

Trade and other receivables policy

Trade and other receivables (unless it is a trade

receivable without a significant financing

component) is initially recognised at fair value plus

transaction costs. A trade receivable without a

significant financing component is initially measured

at the transaction price. It is then subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method, less any provision for impairment.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is

established when there is objective evidence that

the Group will not be able to collect all amounts

due according to the original terms of receivables.

Impairment is calculated based on an expected credit

loss (ECL) model under NZ IFRS 9. Refer to note 15

for information about calculation and recognition of

expected credit losses. The amount of the provision

is recognised in profit or loss. There was no provision

for impairment recognised during the year.

Property, plant and equipment policy
Recognition and measurement

All property, plant and equipment is measured at cost

less accumulated depreciation and accumulated

impairment losses.

When parts of an item of property, plant and

equipment have different useful lives, they are

accounted for as separate items (major components)

of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property,

plant and equipment (calculated as the difference

between the net proceeds from disposal and the

carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit

or loss within other income or other expenses.

Depreciation

For property, plant and equipment, depreciation is

based on the cost of an asset less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a

straight line basis over the estimated useful lives

of each component of an item of property, plant

and equipment.

The depreciation rates for significant items of

property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Leasehold Improvements 7.00%

Motor Vehicles 21.00%

Furniture and Fittings 10.50%

Plant and Equipment 30.00% - 67.00%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual

values are reviewed at each financial year-end and

adjusted if appropriate.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of property, plant and

equipment are reviewed at each balance date

to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's

recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the

carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable

amount. Impairment losses directly reduce the

carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in

profit or loss.

There was no impairment of assets recognised for

during the year.

The additions during the year relate to the Group entering into new leases for the New Zealand and Australian entities.

Leases policy

Recognition and Measurement

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a

lease liability at the lease commencement date. The

right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which

comprises the initial amount of the lease liability

adjusted for any lease payments made at or before

the commencement date, plus any initial direct

costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle

and remove the underlying asset or to restore the

underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less

any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated

using the straight-line method from the

commencement date to the earlier of the end of the

useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the

lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-

use assets are determined on the same basis as

those of property, plant and equipment. In addition,

the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by

impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain

remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present

value of the lease payments that are not paid at

the commencement date, discounted using the

interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot

be readily determined, the Group's incremental

borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its

incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the

lease liability comprise the following:

• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed

payments;

• variable lease payments that depend on an index

or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate

as at the commencement date;

• amounts expected to be payable under a residual

value guarantee; and

• the exercise price under a purchase option that

the Group is reasonably certain to exercise,

lease payments in an optional renewal period

if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise

an extension option, and penalties for early

termination of a lease unless the Group is

reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost

using the effective interest method. It is remeasured

when there is a change in future lease payments

arising from a change in an index or rate, if there

is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount

expected to be payable under a residual value

guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment

of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or

termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a

corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying

amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in

profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use

asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use

asset and corresponding lease liability for short- term

leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases for

low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets

are expensed to the profit or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets policy

Recognition and policy

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated

impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group

and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less

accumulated amortisation and any accumulated

impairment losses.

Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it

increases the future economic benefits embodied

in the specific asset to which it relates. All other

expenditure, including expenditure on internally

generated goodwill and brands is recognised in

profit or loss as incurred.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of

intangible assets less their estimated residual value

using the straight-line method over their estimated

useful lives, and is recognised in profit or loss.

Goodwill is not amortised.

The estimated useful lives for current and

comparative periods are as follows:

Software 1 - 5 years

Customer Relationships 10 years

Impairment

The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any

impairment on an annual basis. No impairment on

the carrying amount of goodwill has been recognised

during the financial year (2021: Nil).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the

greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs

to sell. Fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) is

deemed to be the more appropriate method given

the Group is an early-stage business hence there

are difficulties in assessing WACC, forecast revenue,

cash flows and forecast accuracy. Further, as a

publicly listed entity, the fair value can be easily

ascertained.

Trade and other payables policy

Trade and other payables are measured at

amortised cost. These amounts represent liabilities

for goods and services provided to the Group prior

to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The

amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within

30 days of recognition.

Employee benefits policy

Short-term employee benefits obligations are

measured on an undiscounted basis and are

expensed as the related service is provided. A

liability is recognised for the amount expected to

be paid for outstanding annual leave balances if the

Group has a present legal or constructive obligation

to pay this amount as a result of past services

provided by the employee and the obligation can

be estimated reliably.

The face value and carrying value of the loans are

The Company has met all of its covenants during

the year and as at balance date.

The ASB loan is secured over the assets of

TradeWindow Services Limited together with an

unlimited guarantee and indemnity from Trade

Window Limited.

On 13 August 2020, the Company received an R&D

loan of $400,000 from Callaghan Innovation as

assistance for the economic impacts of COVID19 on

the business. The loan balance at 31 March 2022 was

$419,592 which included an interest accrual of 3%

(2021: $407,594).

Interest bearing loans and liabilities policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value,

net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are

subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any

difference between proceeds (net of transaction

costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in

the statement of comprehensive income over the

period of the borrowing using the effective interest

method. Borrowings are classified as current

liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional

right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12

months after the reporting date.

Note 14 — Interest bearing loans and borrowings

The Group’s overall financial risk management

programme focuses primarily on maintaining

a financial risk profile that provides flexibility to

implement the Group’s strategies, while optimising

return on assets. Financial risk management is

centralised, which supports compliance with the

financial risk management policies and procedures

set by the Board.

Financial instruments are recognised in the

statement of financial position when the Group

becomes party to a financial contract. They

include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other

receivables, trade and other payables, interest

bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and

related party payables.

All financial assets and liabilities (except for trade

receivables that do not contain a significant financing

component) are initially measured at fair value,

adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

Trade receivables without a significant financing

component are initially measured at the transaction

price in accordance with the recognition of revenue.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified into the

following categories:

Financial assets held at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if

it meets both of the following conditions, and is not

designated as at fair value through profit or loss

(FVTPL):

• the asset is held within a business model whose

objective is to hold assets to collect contractual

cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give

rise on specified dates to cash flows that are

solely payments of principal and interest on the

amounts outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method. The amortised cost is reduced

by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign

exchange gains and losses and impairment are

recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on

derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise:

cash and cash equivalents and trade and other

receivables.

Financial liabilities held at amortised cost

Financial liabilities not designated as at FVTPL on

initial recognition are classified as at amortised

cost. Financial liabilities at amortised cost are

subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest method. Interest expense and

foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised

in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is

recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise:

trade and other payables, interest bearing loans

and borrowings, lease liabilities, and related

party payables.

100101

Impairment - financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected

credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at

amortised cost.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit

losses. Credit losses are measured as the present

value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between

the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with

the contract and the cash flows that the Group

expects to receive).

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset

is written off when the Group has no reasonable

expectations of recovering a financial asset in its

entirety or a portion thereof.

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in

accounting for trade and other receivables as well

as contract assets and records the loss allowance

as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the

expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows,

considering the potential for default at any point

during the life of the financial instrument. In

calculating, the Group uses its historical experience,

external indicators and forward-looking information

to calculate the expected credit losses using a

provision matrix.

There were no financial instruments at fair value at

balance date.

Financial risk management

The Group had exposure to the following risks from

its use of financial instruments:

• Market risk (mainly interest rate risk)

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

Risk management framework

The Company’s board of directors has overall

responsibility for the establishment and oversight

of the Group’s risk management framework. The

board of directors has established the Audit and Risk

Committee, which is responsible for developing and

monitoring the Group’s risk management policies.

A risk register is maintained, and the Committee

reports regularly to the board of directors on its

activities. The Group’s risk management policies are

established to identify and analyse the risks faced by

the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls

and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.

Note 15 — Financial instruments classification and risk management

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices –

e.g. foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity

prices – will affect the Group’s income or the value of

its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of

market risk management is to manage and control

market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,

while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in

interest rates primarily affects borrowings. The

Group had floating interest rates throughout the year.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit/

(loss) and equity to a reasonably possible change in

interest rates of +/- 1% (2021: +/- 1%). These changes

are considered to be reasonably possible based

on observation of current market conditions. The

calculations are based on a change in the average

market interest rate for each period, and the financial

instruments held at each reporting date that are

sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other

variables are held constant.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is not subject to material foreign

exchange risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a

customer or counterparty to a financial instrument

fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises

principally from trade receivables.

In respect of trade receivables, the Group is not

exposed to any significant credit risk. There is no

history of customer default and management

consider the credit quality of trade receivables

to be good. The Group trades with recognised,

creditworthy third parties or requires payment in

advance. The profile of future customers is expected

to be similar to that of past customers. On this basis,

the Group does not feel it necessary to have a written

credit policy in place, however management continue

to monitor this risk.

Credit risk relating to bank balances is managed by

banking with major financial institutions with high

quality external credit ratings.

Trade Window Holdings Limited acquired all of the

shares of Trade Window Limited on 19 November

2021 as part of Trade Window's listing process. There

was no other change operationally and TWHL was

effectively inserted above TWL and is, in substance,

a continuation of the existing group.

Trade Window Limited acquired the remaining 49%

minority interest in Trade Window Origin Limited

(formerly known as IVS Origin Limited) on 31

March 2021.

Set out below is a list of material subsidiaries of the Group:

Trade Window Nominees Limited was incorporated

on 4 September 2020 with the sole purpose to

hold on trust shares issued to staff under share

option programmes.

All subsidiaries have a 31 March balance date.

Speedi Software Limited (Speedi)

On 1 October 2021 the Group acquired the assets

of Tauranga based border clearance software

company, Speedi Software Limited. The acquisition

provided the Group with a cost effective and lower

risk way to acquire customers, capability and extend

its ecosystem reach.

The details of the business combination are as

follows:

The Speedi acquisition contributed $0.3m to the

consolidated revenue for the six months ended 31

March 2022. However, the business is not subject to

significant seasonality. As such, annualized revenue

for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 is expected

to be approximately $0.6m. The business did not

have a requirement to prepare NZ IFRS financial

statements prior to acquisition.

The strategic rationale for acquiring the business is to

integrate into Trade Window’s suite of solutions and

therefore a separate profit and loss is not maintained

and impractical to desegregate.

As part of the recognised identifiable net assets, there

is a portion of goodwill which has been recognised.

This is composed of intangible benefits such as sales

and product synergies.

Cyberfreight

On 1 April 2021, the Group acquired the assets of

Sydney based freight forwarding software company,

Hi-Tech Freight Solutions (Aust.) Pty Limited

(“HTFSL”) for AU$2.25 million. The Group also

acquired at the same time the assets of Cyberfreight

Solutions Pte. Limited (“CSPL”), a Singaporean

company related to HTFSL for SG$5,000 cash. HTFS

and CSPL, were together known as “Cyberfreight”,

Cyberfreight has since been rebranded as "Trade

Window Freight". The acquisition of Cyberfreight

provided the Group with a cost- effective way to

amass a high-quality customer base, access to

freight management capabilities, and secure market

share in Australia and further afield.

The details of the business combination are as

follows:

Cyberfreight contributed $1.4 million to the

consolidated revenue for the 12 months from 1 April

2021 to 31 March 2022. The business did not have a

requirement to prepare NZ IFRS financial statements

prior to acquisition.

The strategic rationale for acquiring the business is to

integrate into Trade Window's suite of solutions and

therefore a separate profit and loss is not maintained

and impractical to desegregate.

As part of the recognised identifiable net assets, there

is a portion of goodwill which has been recognised.

This is composed of intangible benefits such as sales

and product synergies.

Equity instruments issued — The fair value of the

ordinary shares issued was based on the share price

of the company at the date of listing.

Measurement of fair values — The valuation

techniques used for measuring the fair value of

material assets acquired in all business acquisitions

were as follows:

Property, plant and equipment — as the value of the

tangible assets purchased are immaterial, these have

been recognised at the vendor's book value.

Software — where there is no comparable product

which Trade Window could purchase off the shelf to

continue serving its customers, software has been

measured based on the estimated development cost

to replicate the acquired software.

These valuations are key accounting estimates.

Share capital policy

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental

costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary

shares are recognised as a deduction from equity,

net of any tax effects.

Capital management

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management,

capital includes issued capital, convertible notes and

all other equity reserves attributable to the equity

holders of the parent. The primary objective of the

Group’s capital management is to maximise the

shareholder value. The Group manages its capital

structure and makes adjustments in light of changes

in economic conditions and the requirements of the

financial covenants. There are no externally imposed

capital requirements.

Note 19 — Share capital

The Group established a share option programme

that entitled senior management to purchase shares

in the Company on 31 October 2019, which was

revised on 25 March 2020 and 19 November 2021.

Under this programme, holders of vested options

are entitled to purchase shares at the exercise price

specified at grant date. All options are to be settled

by the physical delivery of shares. During the year

ended 31 March 2021, an additional share option

scheme for employees was also introduced and all

options granted under this scheme vested and were

exercised within that year.

The number and weighted average exercise prices

of share options under the employee share option

programmes were as follows:

Expense recognised in profit or loss

The total expense recognised in the statement

of comprehensive income during the year was

$725,065 (2021: $867,188).

Shares granted for services provided

The Company has an ownership-based participation

rights scheme for employees. In accordance with

the provisions of the scheme, as approved by the

directors and shareholders, grantees have been

granted options to purchase ordinary shares at

an exercise price based on the fair value of Trade

Window Limited's shares on the date of the grant as

approved by the directors.

Once granted, options vest over a period of time

which is stated in the options offer letter to the

grantee. The grantee may exercise an option that has

vested at any time during the period commencing on

the date on which the option vested and ending on the

expiry date.

Under the terms of the scheme unvested options

lapse immediately on termination of service. For

a good leaver, as defined, vested options must be

exercised within three months following termination

of services, and any options exercised and converted

to shares may be retained. For a bad leaver, as

defined, vested options are cancelled on the

leaving date.

The share based payments reserve is used to record

the value of share based payments provided to

employees including key management personnel, as

part of their remuneration.

No options were approved to be issued under the

existing scheme since prior to listing on 19 November

2021. A new scheme is planned to be introduced to

replace it.

Share-based payments policy

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-

based payment arrangements granted to employees

is generally recognised as an expense, with a

corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting

period of the awards. The amount recognised as

an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of

awards for which the related service and non-market

performance conditions are expected to be met, such

that the amount ultimately recognised is based on

the number of awards that meet the related service

and non-market performance conditions at the

vesting date. For share-based payment awards with

non- vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of

the share-based payment is measured to reflect such

conditions and there is no true-up for differences

between expected and actual outcomes.

Note 21 — Share based payment arrangements

An operating segment is reported in a

manner consistent with the internal reporting

provided to the chief operating decision maker

("CODM") on a monthly basis. The CODM,

who is responsible for allocating resources

and assessing performance of the operating

segment(s) is part of the senior leadership team

and is involved in strategic decision making of

the Group. Management has determined there

is one operating segment based on the reports

reviewed by the CODM.

The reason for looking at the business as one

segment is because of the inter-related nature of

the services and their dependence on the Trade

Window software which cannot be separated

between different products and services.

The performance of the operating segment

is reviewed by the CODM and action plans are

agreed with the management where necessary

to improve performance of the business.

The reportable operating segment derives

its revenues from the provision of software

solutions to its customers. There are no major

customers that make up to 10% of revenues.

The CODM assesses the performance of the

operating segment from revenue to net income.

The total revenue, direct costs, operating

expenses, interest and foreign exchange gains

and losses, tax and net income are reviewed.

The amounts reported with respect to segment

total assets and liabilities are measured in

a manner consistent with the consolidated

statement of financial position. Reportable

segment assets and liabilities are equal to total

assets and liabilities hence no reconciliation is

required. The majority of the Group's operations

are within New Zealand and there are no other

material geographic segments.

There are no capital commitments at year end

(2021: Nil).

The Group has a contingent liability in 2022 of

$1,035,902 relating to R&D tax losses cashed

out (2021: $475,902). If the Group becomes

profitable in the future, there is a change in the

shareholders greater than 90%, or a liquidation

event occurs, it would become payable.

There are no other contingencies.

On 17 May 2022 Trade Window entered a

conditional agreement to acquire the business

and assets of Rfider Limited, an Auckland-

based software company. The transaction

is conditional on Trade Window sourcing

additional funding by 30 July 2022, or otherwise

waiving the condition. At the date of signing

these financial statements, Trade Window had

not taken control and as such it is not practical to

fair value the transaction.

There are no other subsequent events after

31 March 2022 that require disclosure.

26 Earnings
per share

27 Cash flow

reconcilliation

Basic earnings/(deficit) per share is calculated by

dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable

to the parent by the weighted average number

of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares

outstanding during the year is the number of

ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of

the year adjusted by the number of ordinary shares

bought back or issued during the year multiplied

by a time-weighting factor. Diluted earnings per

share additionally considers the weighted average

number of ordinary shares that would be issued on

conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares

into ordinary shares.

The reconciliation of the weighted average number

of shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per

share to the weighted average number of ordinary

shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per

share is below.

The earnings per share for the year ended 31 March

was as follows:

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of Trade Window Holdings Limited

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial

statements of Trade Window Holdings Limited

(the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') on

pages 59 to 119:

i.present fairly in all material respects the Group’s

financial position as at 31 March 2022 and its

financial performance and cash flows for the

year ended on that date in accordance with New

Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards and International Financial

Reporting Standards.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated

financial statements which comprise:

— the consolidated statement of financial position

as at 31 March 2022;

— the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, changes in equity and cash flows for

the year then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). 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 International Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the

New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for

Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence

Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the group.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates for the year ended 31

March 2022 the Group reported a loss of $10.8 million, had negative operating cashflows of $8.5 million and is

projected to continue to incur expenditure in excess of revenue for a period of at least 12 months from the date

of issuing these financial statements. Should the Group not achieve its financial forecasts and raise sufficient

debt and/or equity financing to fund projected cashflow deficits and continue to have support of its bankers and

shareholders, the Group may not be able to continue as a going concern and realise the value in its assets and

discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions indicate

that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going

concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

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

of the consolidated financial statements in the current period. Except for the matter described in the material

uncertainty related to going concern, we summarise below those matters and our key audit procedures to

address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process by which we

arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the purpose of our

statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express discrete

opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Revenue recognition

Refer to Note 3.1 of the Consolidated

Financial Statements.

The Group has several revenue streams

and the revenue recognition policy for

each stream is different.

We focused on this area because the

recognition of revenue in accordance with

NZ IFRS 15 involves judgement and the

outcome has a significant impact on profit

or loss and the financial position of the

Group.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

— Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition

policy is in compliance with NZ IFRS 15;

— Reviewing any changes or new contractual terms and

conditions entered into with new customers or new

revenue streams during the period to identify any

potential impact on performance obligations required to

satisfy the contract;

— Selecting a sample of contracts during the year for each

revenue stream and agreeing the sample to the contract

terms and assessing these contractual terms against the

requirements of NZ IFRS 15;

— Checking a sample of customer invoices immediately

prior to and after year end to ensure revenue is

recognised in the correct period; and

— Performing high risk journal entry testing with the testing

criteria specifically targeting revenue and debtor

transactions.

We did not identify any matters that indicated that revenue is

materially misstated.

Business acquisitions

Refer to Note 18 of the Consolidated

Financial Statements.

On 1 April 2021, the Group acquired

100% of Hi-Tech Freight Solutions (Aust.)

Pty Limited and Cyberfreight Solutions

Pte. Limited for $2.4 million.

On 1 October 2021, the Group acquired

the business and assets of SpeEDI

Software Limited for a consideration of

$1.45 million.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

— Assessing whether the business acquisition has been

appropriately accounted for in accordance with applicable

financial reporting standards and reflects terms and

conditions of the sale and purchase agreement;

— Involving our own valuation specialists to support us in

challenging the valuations produced by the Group and the

methodologies used to identify the assets and liabilities

acquired, in particular the methodologies adopted and key

assumptions used to determine fair value of the software

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

The accounting for these transactions is

complex due to the significant

judgements and estimates that are

required to determine the values of the

consideration transferred and the

identification and measurement of the fair

value of the assets acquired and liabilities

assumed.

Due to the size and complexity of the

acquisition, we considered this to be a

key audit matter

intangible assets, which included challenging management’s

assumption on the estimated cost to develop the software

and comparing the opportunity cost with historical

performance.

— Evaluating the adequacy of the financial statement

disclosures, including disclosure of key assumptions,

judgements and sensitivities.


We did not identify any factors that were materially inconsistent

with management’s overall conclusions.

Other information

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual

Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do

not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

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

consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially

misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this

other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Use of this independent auditor’s report

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent auditor’s 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 audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial

statements

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error ; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to

cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial

statements

Our objective is:

— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error ; and

— to issue an independent 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 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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

consolidated financial statements.

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

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:
