CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Shareholder,
The 2015/16 financial year has proved to be a challenging year for the mining supply industry and ABT was no exception.
Notwithstanding the downturn, the Board was pleased to support management’s strategy of innovation in seeking to develop
more broadly appealing products and markets.
The Board remains of the view that ABT is primarily an application engineering company, which has benefited from a lot of
foundation research and development into sealed and wet brake technology. As I noted last year, the market is now demanding
more cost effective solutions, as the industry resets its cost base. ABT’s significant investment in research and development has
allowed it to produce a polymer brake solution this year which addresses this market need. This kind of thinking is what will see
the company succeed and the board looks forward to further developments in the coming year.
The combination of this greater product diversity, together with the company’s push to expand its international markets are, in
the boards view the essential ingredients to commercial prosperity.
Once again I would like to express my gratitude to existing shareholders for their support.
Finally, I would like to thank Graeme Sumner and the management team for their efforts this year.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Chief Executive Officer’s Operational Review.
The 2015/16 financial year was, in the opinion of many, the toughest market that mining equipment suppliers have faced in the
last 20 years. In keeping with last year’s operational report, ABT continued to focus on a few major goals in order to implement a
diversified product strategy, with a greatly increased global distribution network.
Continued Distribution Channels Expanded
ABT continued to expand its global distribution network, bringing on an additional partner in Canada and announcing new
partnerships in Mongolia, Turkey and Kazakhstan. First international orders were received from Indonesia and Poland during the
year. International sales in total accounted for 35% of sales this year, up from 25% last year.
Development of ABT’s Trailer Brake Solution
ABT’s trial of its trailer brake solution continued to prove successful, reaching 230,000kms on rough roads before requiring its first
service. ABT sees opportunities for this product in a range of ruggedized heavy haulage application and is continuing to pursue
commercial opportunities for the product.
SUV Product Range Broadened
ABT launched a revolutionary new polymer brake under the Terra Dura® brand name during the 2016 financial year. The brake
is in a category of its own in offering superior price performance for customers operating in rugged conditions.
Continued Cost Focus
With revenues tracking significantly below expectations, ABT continued to manage its cost base closely, achieving a further 7%
reduction in expenses.
Outlook
After such a difficult year, 2016/17 has started a lot stronger with a pickup in domestic demand and an impressive start from our
international partners. The company expects stronger trading conditions to remain throughout the financial year as a result of
customers replacing ageing equipment and ABT offering a wider range of product and distribution options. In particular we
expect the new Terra Dura® polymer brake to make a meaningful contribution to FY 17 earnings.
Acknowledgements
Finally, I would like to thank the board and ABT staff members for their continued support.

Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of Advanced Braking Technology Ltd has adopted the following set of principles for the corporate
governance of the Company. These principles establish the framework of how the Board carries out its duties and obligations on
behalf of the Shareholders.
ASX BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
The ASX Listing Rules require listed companies to include in their annual report a statement disclosing the extent to which
they have complied with the ASX Best Practice Recommendations in the reporting period.
These recommendations are
guidelines designed to produce an efficiency, quality or integrity outcome. The recommendations are not prescriptive so
that if a company considers that a recommendation is inappropriate having regard to its particular circumstances, the company
has the flexibility not to follow it. Where a company has not followed all the recommendations, the annual report must
identify which recommendations have not been followed and give reasons for not following them.
Details have been included at the end of this statement setting out the ASX Best Practice Recommendations with which
the Company has and has not complied in the reporting period.
Details of the Company’s corporate governance practices in the relevant reporting period are set out below.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Role of the Board
The primary responsibilities of the Board are set out in a written policy and include:
the establishment of the long term goals of the Company and strategic plans to achieve those goals;
monitoring the achievement of these goals;
the review of management accounts and reports to monitor the progress of the Company;
the review and adoption of budgets for the financial performance of the Company and monitoring the results on a
regular basis to assess performance;
the review and approval of the annual and half-year financial reports;
nominating and monitoring the external auditor;
approving all significant business transactions;
appointing and monitoring senior management;
all remuneration, development and succession issues; and
ensuring that the Company has implemented adequate systems of risk management and internal control together with
appropriate monitoring of compliance activities.
The Board evaluates this policy on an ongoing basis.
Board composition
The Directors’ report contains details of the Directors’ skill, experience and education. The Board seeks to establish a Board that
consists of Directors with an appropriate range of experience, skill, knowledge and vision to enable it to operate the Company’s
business with excellence. In particular the Board seeks a cross section of experience in commerce, technology and in related
industry sectors as well as experience on Boards of other public listed companies. To maintain the balance of skills and
experience, the Company’s policy is that non-executive Directors should serve at least 3 years. At the completion of the first 3
years, the position of the Director is reviewed to ascertain if circumstances warrant a further term.
The Board normally comprises three non-executive Directors and one executive Director. Details of the Directors are set out in
the Directors’ Report.
The Board requires that the Chairperson should be an independent director and that the role of Chairperson and Chief Executive
Officer should not be exercised by the same individual. The role of the Chairperson has been fulfilled by Mr Bruce Grey and the
role of Chief Executive Officer has been fulfilled by Mr Graeme Sumner during the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
Appointment of Directors
The Board is primarily responsible for identifying potential new Directors but has the option to use an external consulting firm to
identify and approach possible new candidates for Directorship. The Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director,
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
6
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
but the total number of Directors may not at any time exceed the maximum number specified in the Constitution of the
Company (currently nine) and any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting when
they are eligible for re-election.
Retirement and re-election of Directors
The Constitution of the Company requires one third of Directors, other than the Managing Director, to retire from office at each
Annual General Meeting. Directors who have been appointed by the Board are required to retire from office at the next Annual
General Meeting and are not taken into account in determining the number of Directors to retire at that Annual General
Meeting. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election by Shareholders.
Independence of Directors
The Board of Directors are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any
business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with,
the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment. In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered
from both the Company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both
quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of the
appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or
greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.
Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of
the relationship and the contractual or other arrangement governing it and other factors that point to the actual ability of the
director in question to shape the direction of the Company’s loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of the independence above, and the materiality threshold set, the following directors of
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd are considered to be independent:
Name
Mr Bruce Grey
Mr Adam Levine
Mr David Slack
Position
Non-executive Director & Chairman
Non-executive Director
Non-executive Director
Independent professional advice
With the prior approval of the Chairperson, each Director has the right to seek independent legal and other professional advice at
the Company’s expense concerning any aspect of the Company’s operations or undertakings in order to fulfil their duties and
responsibilities as Directors.
Board performance review
The performance of all Directors is assessed through review by the Board as a whole. A Director’s attendance at and involvement
in Board meetings, his contribution and other matters identified by the Board or other Directors are taken into consideration.
Significant issues are actioned by the Board. Due to the Board’s assessment of the effectiveness of these processes, the Board has
not otherwise formalised measures of a Director’s performance.
The Company has not conducted a performance evaluation of the members of the Board during the reporting period, however
the Board conducts a review of the performance of the Company against budgeted targets on an ongoing basis.
DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION
Details of the Company’s remuneration policies are included in the Remuneration Report section of the Directors’ Report.
Non-executive Directors will be remunerated by cash or share benefits alone and will not be provided with retirement benefits
(except in exceptional circumstances) other than statutory superannuation contributions. Executive Directors may be
remunerated by both fixed remuneration and equity performance based remuneration plus statutory superannuation
contributions but no termination payments will be agreed other than a reasonable period of notice of termination as
detailed in the executive’s employment contract.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
SENIOR EXECUTIVES
The Board has delegated the operation and administration of the group to the Managing Director and the senior executive team.
Their performance is assessed formally by the Board on an annual basis both subjectively and by measuring performance against
Key Performance Indicators. Performance evaluations were completed in 2016 in accordance with the policy.
DIVERSITY POLICY
Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is committed to diversity
and recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available talent.
Accordingly, the Company has established a diversity policy which is provided to all staff with responsibility for recruitment.
This diversity policy outlines requirements for the Board to develop measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and annually
assess both the objectives and the progress in achieving those objectives. Accordingly, the Board has developed the following
objectives regarding gender diversity and aims to achieve these objectives as positions become vacant and appropriately
qualified candidates become available:

MANAGING BUSINESS RISK
The Company maintains policies and practices designed to identify and manage significant business risks, including:
regular budgeting and financial reporting;
procedures and controls to manage financial exposures and operational risks;
the Company’s business plan;
corporate strategy guidelines and procedures to review and approve the Company’s strategic plans; and
insurance and risk management programmes which are reviewed by the Board.
The Board reviews these systems and the effectiveness of their implementation annually and considers the management
of risk at its meetings. The Company’s management has reported to the Board on the effectiveness of the Company’s
management of its material business risks. The Company’s risk profile is reviewed annually. The Board may consult with the
Company’s external auditors on external risk matters or other appropriately qualified external consultants on risk generally, as
required.
The Board receives regular reports about the financial condition and operating results of the consolidated group. The
Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer annually provide a formal statement to the Board that
in all material respects and to the best of their knowledge and belief:
the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results
and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; and
the Company’s risk management and internal control systems are sound, appropriate and operating efficiently and
effectively.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
Procedures have been established at the Board and executive management levels that are designed to safeguard the assets and
interests of the Company, and to ensure the integrity of reporting. These include accounting, financial reporting and internal
control policies and procedures. To achieve this, the non-executive Directors perform the following procedures:
ensure appropriate follow-up of significant audit findings and risk areas identified;
review the scope of the external audit to align it with Board requirements; and
conduct a detailed review of published accounts.

services were sought from Moore Stephens and Pitcher Partners, with the board resolving to retain the services of Moore

In financial year 2013, the Board established a Remuneration Committee. This role was previously performed by the Board. The

application of the remuneration policy. In doing so, the remuneration committee is responsible for:
developing remuneration policies for Directors and Key Management Personnel, with the assistance, as necessary, of
independent external consultants;
reviewing Key Management Personnel remuneration packages annually and, based on these reviews, making
recommendations to the Board on remuneration levels for Key Management Personnel; and

There are no schemes for retirement benefits for Directors other than statutory superannuation arrangements for non-
executive/independent Directors.
NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE
In financial year 2013, the Board established a Nominations Committee. This role was previously performed by the Board. The
Nominations Committee has a formal charter.
The role of the Nominations Committee is to assist the Board in ensuring that the Board comprises directors with a range and mix
of attributes appropriate for achieving its objective. The committee assists the Board by:
reviewing the skills and expertise of directors and identifying potential deficiencies;
identifying suitable candidates for the Board, with the assistance of independent recruiting agencies;
overseeing Board and Director reviews; and
establishing succession planning arrangements.
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Nominations Committee comprised two non-executive Directors, Mr David Slack

The Nominations Committee did not meet during the year ended 30 June 2016, as all material issues were addressed at the
Directors’ Meetings.
ETHICAL STANDARDS
In pursuit of the highest ethical standards, the Company has adopted a Code of Conduct which establishes the standards of
behaviour required of Directors and employees in the conduct of the Company’s affairs. This Code is provided to all Directors
and employees. The Board monitors implementation of this Code. Unethical behaviour is to be reported to the Company’s
Managing Director (or in his place the Chairperson of the Board) as soon as practicable.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Code of Conduct is based on respect for the law, and acting accordingly, dealing with conflicts of interest appropriately, using
the consolidated entity’s assets responsibly and in the best interests of the Company, acting with integrity, being fair and honest
in dealings, treating other people with dignity and being responsible for actions and accountable for the consequences.
TRADING IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
The Board has adopted a policy in relation to dealings in the securities of the Company which applies to all Directors, employees,
contractors and consultants (“personnel”). Under the policy, personnel are prohibited from dealing in the Company’s securities
whilst in possession of price sensitive information. Directors and key management personnel are also prohibited from trading
except during specific trading windows and are required to advise the Company Secretary of their intention to do so before
dealing in the Securities. In exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial hardship, trading may be permitted in a prohibited
trading period, with the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Board or, if being sought by the Chairman of the Board, of
the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. An updated Securities Trading Policy was lodged with the ASX on 2 July 2014.
This policy is provided to all personnel. Compliance with it is reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Company’s risk
management systems.
CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE
The Company has in place a continuous disclosure policy, a copy of which is provided to all Company officers and
employees who may from time to time be in the possession of undisclosed information that may be material to the price or value
of the Company’s securities.
The continuous disclosure policy aims to ensure timely compliance with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations under
the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and ASX Listing Rules and ensure officers and employees of the Company understand these
obligations. The procedure adopted by the Company is essentially that any information which may need to be disclosed must be
brought to the attention of the Chairperson, who in consultation with the Board (where practicable) and any other appropriate
personnel, will consider the information and whether disclosure is required and prepare an appropriate announcement.
At least once in every 12 month period, the Board will review the Company’s compliance with this continuous disclosure policy
and update it from time to time, if necessary.
SHAREHOLDERS
The Board aims to ensure that Shareholders are kept informed of all major developments affecting the Company. Information is
communicated to Shareholders as follows:
as the Company is a disclosing entity, regular announcements are made to the Australian Stock Exchange in accordance
with the Company’s continuous disclosure policy, including quarterly cash flow reports, half-year audit reviewed
accounts, year-end audited accounts and an Annual Report;
the Board ensures the Annual Report includes relevant information about the operations of the Company during the
year, changes in the state of affairs and details of future developments;
any proposed major changes in the Company’s affairs are submitted to a vote of Shareholders, as required by the
Corporations Act 2001;
the Board encourages full participation of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of
accountability and identification of the Company’s strategies and goals. All Shareholders who are unable to attend
these meetings are encouraged to communicate or ask questions by writing to the Company; and
the external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meetings to answer any questions concerning the audit
and the content of the auditor’s report.
The Board reviews this policy and compliance with it on an ongoing basis.
ASX BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, the Company advises that based upon the information set out above, it does comply with
the Best Practice Recommendations, issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, with the exception of the following:
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
10
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the Board should be independent Directors.
As one of the non-executive directors is a major Shareholder in the Company, and one of the directors is an executive of the
Company, the Board is not normally comprised of a majority of independent directors, which is a departure from ASX Corporate
Governance Council best practice recommendation. The Board considers its current composition is the most appropriate blend of
skills and expertise, relevant to the Company’s business. The Board will review this on an on-going basis.
Recommendation 2.4 The Nominations Committee should be structured so that it:
consists of a majority of independent directors
is chaired by an independent director
has at least three members
The Nominations Committee comprises only two Directors, one of whom is considered to be independent (see “Independence of
Directors” above). Consequently, the committee does not fully comply with the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations during the period.
Having regard to the number of members currently comprising the Company’s Board, the Board considers the size and
composition of the Nominations Committee to be appropriate. These arrangements will be reviewed periodically by the Board to
ensure that they continue to be appropriate to the Company’s circumstances.
Recommendation 4.2: The Audit Committee should be structured so that it:
it consists only of non-executive directors
consists of a majority of independent directors
is chaired by an independent Chair who is not Chair of the Board
has at least three members
The Audit Committee comprises the three non-Executive Directors, two of whom are considered to be independent (see
“Independence of Directors” above).
Consequently, the committee does not fully comply with the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
during the period.
Having regard to the number of members currently comprising the Company’s Board, the Board considers the size and
composition of the Audit Committee to be appropriate. These arrangements will be reviewed periodically by the Board to ensure
that they continue to be appropriate to the Company’s circumstances.
Recommendation 8.1: The Remuneration Committee should be structured so that it:
consists of a majority of independent directors
is chaired by an independent director
has at least three members
The Remuneration Committee comprises the three non-Executive Directors, two of whom are considered to be independent
(see “Independence of Directors” above).
Consequently, the committee does not fully comply with the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
during the period.
Having regard to the number of members currently comprising the Company’s Board, the Board considers the size and
composition of the Remuneration Committee to be appropriate. These arrangements will be reviewed periodically by the Board
to ensure that they continue to be appropriate to the Company’s circumstances.

number of shares issued under each convertible note will be calculated by dividing the face value of $100 by $0.00938. If the
note holder converts the maximum number of 5,000 convertible notes, then assuming the conversion price remains at $0.00938,
then 53,304,904 shares would be issued.

Remuneration Committee
During the year, the Remuneration Committee met once to make recommendations to the Board on remuneration policy and to
recommend salary reviews and short and long term incentives for the executive Director and specified executives.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of the Company is to pay executive Directors and specified executives at market rates which are sourced
from average wage and salary publications are subject to periodic reviews by external consultants and which may include a mix of
short and long term incentives linked to performance and aligned with market practice. In addition, Directors and employees
may be issued shares and share options to encourage loyalty and to provide an incentive through the sharing of wealth created
through equity growth which is linked to Company performance. The Remuneration Committee members believe the
remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective and tailored to increase congruence between Shareholders and Directors
and executives.
Non-executive Director remuneration arrangements
Remuneration policy
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain
directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to Shareholders.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by Shareholders and the fee structure is reviewed against fees
paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies. The Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the
non-executive Directors’ fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at
the 2005 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 1 November 2005 when Shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of
$300,000 per year.
The Board will not seek any increase for the non-executive Directors’ pool at the 2016 AGM.
Structure
The remuneration of non-executive Directors consists of directors’ fees. There are no schemes for retirement benefits for non-
executive Directors other than statutory superannuation and non-executive Directors do not participate in any incentive
programs. Other than the Chairman, each non-executive Director received a base fee of $55,000 per annum plus the
superannuation guarantee contribution. The Chairman received a base fee of $85,000 plus the superannuation guarantee
contribution.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. Material accounting
policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless
stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical
costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial
liabilities.
Principles of Consolidation
(a)
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Advanced Braking
Technology Ltd) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent 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. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 12.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date
on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated
on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure
uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”.
The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a
proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’
proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their
share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately
within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or
businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained,
whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised
(subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or
liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change
in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed as incurred.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
(b)
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s
functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at
historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair
value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity
as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to
the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is
recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation
currency, are translated as follows:
-
-
-
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are
recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial
position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
(c)
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments, net of any bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the
statement of financial position.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
(d)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable
from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which
are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or
payments to suppliers.
Impairment of Assets
(e)
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an
impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair
value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its
recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance
with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is
treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount
of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
Income Tax
(f)
The income tax expense / (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense / (income) and deferred tax expense /
(income).
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities / (assets) are
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to / (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well
unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense / (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items
that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where
there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the
carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is
not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement
or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which
significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(g)
Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of
the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair
value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at fair value amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal
repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that
initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine
the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option
pricing models.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
29
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to
the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or
discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate
an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the
requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
i)
Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term
profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or
to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value
basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair
value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables
ii)
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the
reporting period.
iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments,
and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in current assets where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end
of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as non-current assets.
iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other
categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in
the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (ie gains or losses) recognised in other
comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is
reclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in current assets where they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the
end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as non-current assets.
Financial liabilities
v)
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Derivative Instruments
The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
i)
ii)
At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the Group’s risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions, is documented.
hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
Assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions
have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items, are also
documented.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
30
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
i)
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or
loss together with any changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk.
Cash flow hedge
ii)
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a
hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item will
affect profit or loss.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been
impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered
to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in
fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
Financial guarantees
Where material, financial guarantees issued that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss
it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial
recognition.
The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised
less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity gives guarantees in
exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.
The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach.
The probability has been based on:
-
-
-
the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;
the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and
the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.
De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with
the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference
between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Provisions
(h)
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting
period.
Earnings per share
(i)
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent entity for the
reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference shares
classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation purposes), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company,
adjusted for any bonus issue.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
31
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with
dilutive potential ordinary shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to ordinary shares associated with
dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares
adjusted for any bonus issue.
Revenue and Other Income
(j)
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts
and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of financing and is
discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the
amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customer.
Government Grants
(k)
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant
conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant
to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to
income over the expected useful life of the asset.
Where it is expected that a grant will be repaid if certain conditions are met, the liability to repay the grant is recognised as the
conditions are met and the liability crystallises.
R&D Tax incentives have been accounted for as government grants.
Intangibles Other than Goodwill
(l)
Technology Assets / Patents
Such assets are recognised at cost of acquisition. The cost of technology assets are amortised over the average life of the patents
granted for each technology asset on a straight line basis. The average life of a patent varies between 10 and 20 years and
technology assets in the Intellectual Property purchased from Safe Effect Technologies International Ltd (SETI) are amortised over
15 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised
only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits
can be measured reliably.
Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the
useful life of the project.
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
32
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and
only if, all of the following are demonstrated:
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributed to the intangible asset during its development.
Capitalised development costs will be amortised over their expected useful lives once commercial sales commence.
Inventories
(m)
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct
materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Such costs are assigned to inventory on hand
by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a weighted average
basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in
marketing, selling and distribution.
Leases
(n)
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal
ownership that is transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the
leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments
are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, Plant and Equipment
(o)
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable
amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are
recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed periodically by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received
from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present
values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials and externally supplied services.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed to profit and loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is
held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Class of Fixed Asset
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles
Office equipment and furniture
Software
2-5 years
3-15 years
3-5 years
3-5 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than
its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are
included in profit and loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are
transferred to retained earnings.
Employee Benefits
(p)
Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other
than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period
in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are
measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of
current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and
long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
Other long-term employee benefits
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12
months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term
employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected
future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are
discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have
maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re-measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations
for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial
position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of
the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an employee share/option ownership plan. Share-based payments to employees and Directors are
measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-
employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is
determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or
services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using
the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each
reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is
based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
Comparative Figures
(q)
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the
current financial year.
Where the Group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial
statements or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the
earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
Rounding of Amounts
(r)
The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the financial
statements and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
(s)
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends
and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Estimates – Impairment
The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to the
impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is determined. Fair value less
cost to sell and value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
(t)
Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of
the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below:
–
–
AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting
outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of
financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments
and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the
classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront
accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the
ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity
elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the
Standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s
financial instruments, including hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a
reasonable estimate of such impact.
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to
revenue with a single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including
leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-
monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers
and potential customers.
The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB
15 provides the following five-step process:
-
identify the contract(s) with a customer;
ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2016
35
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
-
-
-
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
determine the transaction price;
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.
-
-
-
-
The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that
existed in each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); or recognise the
cumulative effect of retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial
application. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements regarding revenue.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the Group’s
financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such
impact.
AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases
in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting
model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.
The main changes introduced by the new Standard include:
-
recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with
less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets);
depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in
profit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial
measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;
by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease
components and instead account for all components as a lease; and
additional disclosure requirements.
-
The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to
comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application
as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the Group's financial
statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact
AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of
Interests in Joint Operations (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2016)
This Standard amends AASB 11: Joint Arrangements to require the acquirer of an interest (both
initial and additional) in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in
AASB 3: Business Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting
in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with
the guidance in AASB 11; and disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian
Accounting Standards for business combinations.
The application of AASB 2014-3 will result in a change in accounting policies for the above described
transactions, which were previously accounted for as acquisitions of assets rather than applying the
acquisition method per AASB 3.
The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to acquisitions
of interests in joint operations occurring on or after 1 January 2016. As at 30 June 2016,
management is not aware of the existence of any such arrangements that would impact the
financial statements of the entity going forward and as such is not capable of providing a reasonable
estimate at this stage of the impact on initial application of AASB 2014-3.
AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets
between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-10: Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128).
This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing
control over a subsidiary that is not a “business” as defined in AASB 3 to an associate or joint
venture, and requires that:
-
a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised
–
–
–

only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture;
the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in
that associate or joint venture; and
any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair
value also be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the
associate or joint venture. The remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against the
carrying amount of the remaining investment.
The application of AASB 2014-10 will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss
of control over subsidiaries (involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3
for which gains or losses were previously recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s
interest.
The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or
contributions of subsidiaries to associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 2014-10 may have an impact on the
Group’s financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of
such impact.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
(u)
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
(v)
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the
requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e.
unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair
value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair
values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques.
These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market
with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous
market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the
asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its
highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instrument,
by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not
available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial
statements.

(b) Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the Shareholders
with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
Advanced Braking Pty Ltd has a finance agreement with NAB under which it may borrow up to $0.5m secured against
debtors. The amount which may be drawn down at any time is dependent on the debtor balance - see note 9.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital
structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt
levels, distributions to Shareholders, share issues and convertible note issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior
year. Management aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. The
gearing ratios for the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 are as follows:
The gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is defined as interest bearing liabilities less
cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position plus net
debt.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Overview
The Company and its Subsidiaries (“Group”) have exposure to the risks below from financial instruments:
i) Market risk;
ii)
Liquidity risk;
iii) Credit risk.
The Directors have responsibility for the development and control of the risk management framework. The Audit
Committee, established by the Directors, is responsible for development and monitoring of risk management policies.
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, interest bearing deposits, lease and an invoice finance facility
(see note 8). The purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the growth of the Group and to provide working
capital for the Group’s operations.
The Group has various other financial instruments including trade debtors and trade creditors which arise directly out of
its operations and through the negotiation of trading terms with customers and suppliers. During the period under
review, the Group has not traded in financial instruments. However, it is Group policy to hedge foreign currency against
fluctuations where appropriate, which may result in exchange losses.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign
currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Directors review and agree policy for managing each of these risks and
they are summarised as follows:
(a)
Market Risk
Interest rate risk
The economic entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as
a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial
assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

As at 30 June 2016 Advanced Braking Pty Ltd was entitled to interest on deposits at the National Australia Bank at rates
up to 2.05% per annum (2015: 2.80% per annum).
The sensitivity analysis below is based on the interest rate risk exposure in existence at the balance sheet date. The 1.0%
(2015: 1.0%) interest rate sensitivity is based on reasonable possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed
range of historical Australian Reserve Bank rate movement over the last two years.

The Directors’ objective is to earn the highest rate of interest on deposits with minimum risk. The Directors’ policy
therefore is to place deposits with recognised banks which offer the highest variable and/or fixed rates. Similarly, loans
and asset finance contracts are shopped to find the lowest rates of interest expense.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company currently has minimal foreign exchange exposure with regard to both the receivables and payables and
currently has no offshore assets.
At 30 June 2016, the Company does not have any forward foreign exchange contracts in place. As at 30 June 2016 the

Liquidity Risk
The Group’s objective is to fund new product development and commercialisation through Shareholder equity,
convertible notes, government grants, R&D tax incentives, lease finance and bank funding where available.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves through share issues, convertible note issues,
debtor finance, secured bank lending and asset finance. Future funding requirements are determined through the
monitoring of regular cash flow forecasts, which reflect management’s expectations in respect of future turnover,
development of new markets and products, capital investment and the settlement of financial assets and liabilities.

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The credit risk on financial assets of the Consolidated Group which has been recognised on the Balance Sheet is the
carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts. At year end the Consolidated Group’s exposure to credit risk
arises primarily from the mining industry.
The Consolidated Group is not materially exposed to any individual overseas country or individual customer.
The Company’s policy is to manage credit risk by ensuring that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms subject
themselves to credit worthiness checks, and to obtain agreement to a “retention of title” clause where possible. The
Directors believe that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant and adequately covered by the
estimated bad and doubtful debt accrual of $20,000 as at 30 June 2016.
Other than the concentration of credit risk described, the economic entity does not have any significant risk exposure to
any counterparty or group of parties. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of
any provision for losses, represents the economic entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
(d)
Net fair values
The financial assets and liabilities included in current asset and current liabilities in the Balance Sheet position are carried
at amounts that approximate net fair values or recoverable amount. Impairment assessments in financial year 2016
resulted in the build-up of a provision for obsolete inventory of $100,000.
Intangible assets as at 30 June 2016 only comprises the Wet Brake technology assigned from Safe Effect Technologies
International Ltd on 27 June 2006, which is amortised over 15 years being the average life of patents which underpin the
carrying value.

Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Advanced Braking Technology Limited, which comprises the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising
a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated
entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In
Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements that the
financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
