CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW 

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW 

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased to present to our shareholders and broader stakeholders our 2021 Annual Report. 

It is satisfying to report further improvements in our financial performance, notwithstanding the ongoing challenges 
due to COVID-19 and the impacts from lockdowns globally. Advanced Braking Technology (‘ABT’ or the ‘Company’) 
remained  resilient  from  the  impacts  of  the  pandemic  with  minimal  disruption  to  manufacturing  with  our  largely 
Australian-based supply chain and increasing time to secure supply of components from overseas. We are aware that, 
despite this backdrop, we are incredibly fortunate to have finished the year in a far stronger position than when it 
began. This was achieved through an ongoing commitment to increasing sales through broadening our customer base 
within the mining industry as well as other markets, prudent cost management and our strategic objective to build a 
robust business.  

The strategic decision made by the Board and Management, over two years ago, to run the business in a more cost- 
effective manner has paid off in the last two financial years. The Company made a concerted effort to discharge all 
significant  debt  in  prior  periods,  including  the  extinguishment  of  our  convertible  notes.  This  has  ensured  that  the 
Company  can  focus  on  growing  organically  in  a  sustainable  manner  while  also  better  structuring  ABT  to  pursue 
inorganic  growth  prospects  through  either  acquisitions,  strategic  partnerships  or  joint  ventures.  Having  delivered 
significantly improved financial results over the last two years and with a strong product portfolio, the Company is 
now  positioned  to  actively  deliver  its  strategic  objectives,  ensuring  increased  shareholder  value  as  we  investigate 
opportunities that will allow ABT to achieve size, and to significantly upscale the business.  

With  the  increased  focus  on  electric,  autonomous  and  connected  vehicles,  and  the  environmental  considerations 
regarding brake emissions, we continue to explore opportunities as a business to actively engage in these megatrends. 
Management  are  focused  on  ensuring  that  we  will  play  a  role  in  these  trends.  Underpinning  our  future  growth 
prospects are the recent addition of a Director of Strategy and Commercial to drive business growth through inorganic 
growth opportunities and the appointment, just prior to FY21, of a new Director of Sales and Marketing to drive organic 
growth. These key appointments ensure ABT can actively engage both in the Australian and global marketplace. This 
is demonstrated in the consistent improvement of sales in FY21. It also allowed ABT to participate in signature events 
to raise awareness of ABT’s capabilities and product offering, as evidenced by our recent award-winning presentation 
at  the  EuroBrake  virtual  conference  in  May  2021  and  participation  in  various  high  profile  Australian  conferences 
throughout the year. 

We  are  focused  on  building  on  our  20+  years  of  experience  as  the  original  manufacturer  of  sealed  wet  brake 
technology,  remaining  true  to  our  Australian  origins  and  continuing  to  protect  people,  equipment  and  the 
environment.  We  will  continue  to  deliver  on  innovation, safety  and  environmental  responsibility  as  a  reflection  of 
ABT’s ethos. We are looking forward to the future and are really pleased with the results achieved over the past two 
years.  I would like to thank the Board and the entire ABT team for their efforts and contribution. The leadership of 
the  business,  headed  by  CEO,  John  Annand  is  acknowledged  and  the  focus  on  delivering  sustainable  results  has 
ensured that we have a viable and stable platform for future growth.  

Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support of ABT and look forward to engaging with 
you at our upcoming Annual General Meeting.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW 

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW 

Dear Shareholder, 

FY21 has been a significant year for Advanced Braking Technology (‘ABT’) as we continued to execute our strategy and demonstrate 
financial results that support our growth objectives.  

Operationally, we have seen the result of this strategy through the continued support of our existing customer base, coupled with 
progressing our strategy of driving further diversification across both our customer base and the industries that we service. This 
includes investigating opportunities that exist within the heavy vehicle transport sector, where maintenance and safety issues have 
identified a need for a sealed heavy duty brake solution. We have worked hard to deepen our relationships with the broader global 
market by participating in both the EuroBrake virtual conference and Land Forces conference in Brisbane. These events created 
opportunities for us to demonstrate our products and enhance education and awareness amongst our sector, and we continue to 
explore opportunities to engage with new partners and customers to broaden our reach and product scope.  

ABT has had a strong year with our core product portfolio, delivering $9.7m in operating revenue, driving a 15% uplift in total 
revenue to $10.45m. Additionally, we delivered stable product sales margins of 46.3% and a positive EBITDA result at $0.91m for 
the year compared to $0.65m for FY20. With a focus on both prudent cost management initiatives and driving improvements in 
sales, alongside stable gross margins, we delivered a significantly improved net profit of $0.62m (FY20: $0.17m). 

We remain prudently resourced and finished the year with a cash balance of $1.41m as at 30 June 2021. These cash reserves ensure 
we can continue to fund our ongoing operations and drive innovation in our products.  

As touched on in the letter from the Chairman, we have made a number of strategic hires that will be instrumental in driving our 
strategy forward over the coming years. In particular, ABT appointed Andrew Booth, as Director of Strategy and Commercial. 
Andrew will be critical in identifying and assessing opportunities for the business including acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint 
ventures, in order to accelerate the upscaling of the business.  

Ben Suda was appointed as Director of Sales and Marketing and has been instrumental in ensuring ABT is positioned to engage 
with industry leaders, partners and sector participants to ensure we remain actively engaged in conversations on environmental 
concerns, and current trends in autonomous and electric vehicles. Additionally, we appointed a new Engineering Manager in David 
Newcombe who will continue to drive innovation in our product portfolio to deliver advancements to position us for the future to 
ensure we can participate in the industry megatrends.  

We revised our strategy and structure nearly two years ago and we continue to demonstrate the success of these initiatives in our 
results  at  each  reporting  period.  We  are  pleased,  once  more,  to  deliver  growth  in  our  key  metrics,  allowing  us  to  pursue 
opportunities that will deliver further growth in the business. 

The delivery of our organic growth strategy is evidenced in our numbers. We are pleased with the progress made to date to increase 
sales,  control  costs  and  maintain  margins  across  our  core  product  portfolio,  as  we  also  continue  to  assess  inorganic  growth 
opportunities that can accelerate our growth and broaden our product offering.  

We thank our employees, stakeholders and shareholders for their ongoing support over the past year.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Business Overview 

Advanced Braking Technology Ltd (‘ABT’ or the ‘Company’) is an Australian company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(ASX:ABV) that designs, manufactures and distributes its innovative braking solutions worldwide. From its head office in Perth, 
Western Australia, ABT continues to develop its product portfolio for a diverse range of industries that have a strong requirement 
for safety and environmental responsibility, including the mining, defence, civil construction and waste management industries. 

ABT’s  innovative  braking  solutions  are  well  known  for  their  unparalleled  safety,  improved  productivity,  zero  emissions  and 
durability in the world’s harshest conditions. As the Company’s reputation has grown, demand for ABT's brakes has expanded 
internationally with its braking solutions being used in all seven continents across the globe. Approximately 32% of operating sales 
comes from overseas locations including Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South Africa and Chile in which ABT has key distribution 
partners. 

ABT has three key suppliers who are all located in Australia and represent approximately 60% of ABT’s supply chain inputs. ABT’s 
primarily Australian-based supply chain has contributed to the Company’s operational resilience to deliver ongoing sales growth 
and record financial year results despite the global impact of coronavirus (COVID-19). 

During FY21, ABT offered three key products: 

•  ABT Failsafe Brakes 
•  ABT Failsafe Emergency Driveline Brakes 
• 

Terra Dura Brakes 

During FY21, the Company continued to deliver improvements in our financial and operational performance. These improvements 
included: 
• 

strengthening its financial and working capital position through record year-on-year sales growth, maintaining margins 
and focused cost control on expenses, resulting in a positive cash flow from operations for the year; 
further diversifying the product portfolio, customer base and the industries to which we supply our innovative braking 
solutions; 
strengthening our Intellectual Property and patent protection; and 

• 
•  maintaining a low debt structure, following $2.25million (m) of debt extinguished in FY20. 

• 

The improvements outlined above have set the Company up for a strong FY22 and will support ABT’s growth strategy.  

In addition to product development and sales growth, the Company continues to work on the intangible aspects of the business 
including corporate culture, systems and processes and stakeholder management, all of which improves business performance 
and creates the foundation for the Company to execute its growth strategy.  

Impact of COVID-19 

In FY21, the impact on ABT’s operations due to COVID-19 was not material. ABT continues to review the COVID-19 operating 
environment and has continued to amend its business operations to reflect the changing operating environment. The Company’s 
primary customer base remains within the mining and civil construction industries, which to-date, have continued to operate 
during this challenging period. The Company has benefited from the financial assistance measures provided by both the Federal 
and Western Australian governments, to help protect both the business operations and its employees. During FY21, ABT received 
approximately $0.105m in financial assistance. 

Financial Summary 

ABT achieved revenues of $10.45m for FY21 (FY20: $9.08m), which represents an approximately 15% increase on the prior year. 
The net profit for the year is $0.62m (FY20: $0.17m), an improvement of 263% on the prior year. These results were achieved 
through an increase in sales revenue, with controlled expense increases of 4%, when compared to FY20. 

The Company’s net assets as at 30 June 2021 have increased approximately 18% or $0.73m on FY20 balances, primarily due to an 
increased cash balance of $1.41m, which is up $0.9m from the 30 June 2020 balance of $0.52m. ABT experienced only minor 
increases in total liabilities of $0.15m at 30 June 2021, which relates primarily to higher levels of inventory purchasing to support 
the increasing operating sales revenues and the annual renewal of ABT’s insurance premium financing facility. The increase in 
liabilities is offset by a similar increase in trade receivables of $0.15m to $1.43m at 30 June 2021 on the prior year (FY20: $1.28m).

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Revenue 

Operating revenue in FY21 of $9.7m (FY20: $8.35m) was achieved primarily from sales of the Company’s core Failsafe 
products and associated spares and consumables into the mining and civil construction industries. 

The product margin for brake kits and consumable sales was slightly lower than the prior year at 46.3% (FY20: 48.5%) however the 
gross margin for FY21 is 46.3% was consistent with the prior year (FY20: 46.3%). 

The estimated research and development (R&D) tax incentive refund for the year of $512k (FY20: $520k) remains at a similar level 
to the prior year, as the Company engaged in a focused product research and development program. During FY21, ABT received 
approximately $0.105m in financial assistance related to COVID-19 and received funds of $0.096m in relation to a Defence Global 
Competitiveness Grant of up to $0.24m. The balance of the grant funding of $0.144m is expected to be received in the first half of 
FY22. 

Expenses 

Expenses for FY21 totalled $4.62m (FY20: $4.43m) representing a 4% or $0.19m increase on FY20 expenses. Cost reductions in 
FY21  were  primarily  finance  expenses,  with  a  reduction  of  $0.21m  to  $0.083m  on  FY20  costs  of  $0.3m,  following  the 
extinguishment of $2.25m of borrowings during FY20. ABT has maintained a low level of working capital finance facilities during 
the year for operational purposes, including equipment finance and insurance premium funding of $0.231m. 

Cost increases during FY21 were primarily employee expenses resulting in a $0.187m increase to $2.91m on FY20 expenses of 
$2.72m,  due  to  increasing  operational  requirements.  Focused  inventory  management  resulted  in  an  increase  in  inventory 
obsolescence expenses totalling $0.079m, representing an increase of $0.078m on FY20 expenses of $0.001m and global insurance 
market increases resulted in an increase to insurance costs of $0.067m on FY20 expenses of $0.14m to FY21 insurance expense of 
$0.21m. 

Cash 

Sales revenue growth of approximately $1.35m on the prior year and a Company-wide controlled cost focus, has resulted in a net 
cash inflow from operating activities of $1.21m for the year and a cash balance of $1.41m, which has increased $0.9m from the 30 
June 2020 balance of $0.52m. 

Strategy implementation and product development 

With the improved financial and operational performance achieved during FY21, the Company is now well placed to 
implement its growth strategy, which is depicted below. 

The growth strategy will be implemented through: 

• 
• 

• 

organic growth of our existing business through continual internal innovation; 
pursuing high impact growth opportunities in markets that require innovative braking systems for transport 
and mobility solutions of the future; 
inorganic growth through implementing our Joint Ventures, Partnering and Acquisitions strategy; and 

ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

• 

increasing control of our supply chain. 

Diversification has been a key theme for the Company in FY21 and this will continue into FY22 through the further 
diversification of: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

our product offering;  

the industries which we supply;  

our customer base; 

the geographic locations in which our products are found; and  

our network of suppliers and distributors. 

This objective was achieved in FY21 by being successful in expanding product sales within the mining, defence and 
civil construction industries. Of particular note was the Company entering into its first long term supply agreement 
for the supply of 1,100 hill-hold brakes to Thales Australia for installation on the Hawkei Protected Mobility Vehicle – 
Light, a project which demonstrated our ability to design, prototype and test braking solutions to the highest defence 
standards. 

With a focus on exploiting our existing product range and capitalising on our historical R&D, the  Company is well 
placed to increase sales during FY22 to a broad range of customers in a diverse range of industries across a number of 
geographic regions. Our future product offering will be primarily based on the existing Failsafe and Terra Dura brake 
technology. The vehicle variants to which these products can be fitted will be prioritised based on market intelligence 
and  listening  to  the  requirements  of  the  customer,  whilst  at  the  same  time  ensuring  an  acceptable  return  on 
investment is achieved. 

The Company will continue to develop its product offering through ongoing R&D to ensure it remains relevant long 
into  the  future  as  automation  and  electrification  of  vehicles  gains  momentum  around  the  world,  and  the 
environmental impacts from non-exhaust vehicle emissions, including brake dust particles, are better understood by 
government and consumers. 

Business Risk 

The material business risks faced by the company that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the company are 
detailed below. In addition to general market and economic risks, such as share market risk, shareholder dilution, general economic 
conditions, legislative change and unforeseen expenses, shareholders should be aware of risk specific to ABT, which may include 
but are not limited to the following: 

(a)  Operational Risk - The current and future operations of the Company, including development, assembly, manufacturing 

and sales may be effected by a range of factors including: 

(1)  Production  may  not  be  able  to  keep  up  with  demand  because  of  component  shortages  outside  of  the 

Company’s control; 

(2)  Shortage of supply of customer vehicles to customers fleets; 
(3)  Sales targets may not be met because of a downturn in the industries which the Company supplies or through 
sales and operational staff shortages due to the inability to recruit suitably qualified staff in a very tight labour 
market to service our customers; 

(4)  (A) competitor(s) developing a product range that emulates the performance of the Company’s products; 
(5)  The mining industry may use vehicles in its operations for which the Company has not yet developed a suitable 

brake; and 

(6)  The inherent risk of supplying safety critical products to motor vehicles where any defect or failure may give 

rise to direct or consequential harm to plant or personnel. 

(b)  Performance Risk - The financial performance of the Company in any given year may have an adverse effect on the net 
carrying value of the Company’s intellectual property as well as the Company’s capacity to achieve an acceptable financial 
result and cash flow balance. 

(c)  Currency Risk - The Company trades with over ninety percent (90%) of its suppliers in Australian dollars. As a result, 
currency  risk  on  purchases  is  negligible.  The  Company  sells  product  into  foreign  markets  and  the  sales  are  rarely 

ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

denominated in a foreign currency. In the financial year 2021, sales receipt from overseas currencies accounted for less 
than one percent (1%) of total operational sales and is therefore considered to have a negligible risk. The Company 
therefore, has minimal exposure to foreign currency fluctuations against AUD between the date of sale or purchase and 
the date of receipt or payment. Refer to Note 27 for more information. 

(d)  Interest rate risk - The Company invests working capital cash surpluses by placing funds on a short-term deposit and/or 
cash maximiser account at the prevailing interest rates. There is a risk that income earned from interest bearing accounts, 
will fall short of target or the Company’s target rate of return. Refer to Note 27 for more information. 

(e)  Credit  Risk  -  The  Company  sells  product  on  30-day  net  credit  terms.  Although  the  Company  insures  customers 
domestically and internationally, were it is able to, there is still an exposure of $5,000 for each claim, plus 10% of the 
remaining balance on the customers account up to insured limits. The insurer has the right to refuse insurance on specific 
or new debtors based on their credit assessment. Refer to Note 27 for more information. 

(f)  Warranty - The Company’s products are sold under a twelve (12) month warranty. If a product fails during the period 
there is a risk that the product may have to be replaced under warranty, free of charge. In addition, in the event of product 
failure and consequential loss, the Company may be liable to pay damages for product failure.  The Company has product 
liability insurance for a limit of up to $20m. 

(g)  Obsolescence - The Company assembles its products from components purchased and stocked at various locations. 
Technology is constantly providing improvements in components and there is a risk that either component stock of the 
Company’s products could be subject to obsolescence due to technical innovations in materials, applications or methods. 
ABT has a focused inventory management program to identify components or applications that may be approaching 
obsolescence. 

(h)  Global  Climate  Change  –  The  Company  is  exposed  to  climate  change  impacts  that  effect  the  production  of  metal 
components and oil. Impacts to these raw commodities would have a significant financial impact on the Company’s 
operations and product offering. ABT seeks to reduce its environmental impacts in meaningful ways, such as recycling 
and seeking alternative low environmental impact substitutes for its product inputs. 

Growth and Outlook  

For  FY22  and  beyond,  revenues  will  be  derived  from  a  broader  product  offering.  Furthermore,  the  Company  has 
diversified its customer base to include customers not only in our primary mining market, but also the defence, waste 
management and civil construction industries. 

ABT not only has the product portfolio to meet the existing needs of both current and future customers, but we believe 
we have the intellectual property that will ensure we can participate in future braking technology that will not only 
assist the environment but will help create a sustainable future for vehicle transportation.  

The growth plan will deliver a greater product offering to a broader customer base across diverse industries which in 
turn will lead to increasing revenues, profits and ultimately shareholder value. With the strong foundations we now 
have in place, ABT is now well placed to reward shareholders for their continued support.

Licence agreement for Thales Australia Hawkei PMV-L project 
ABT has entered into a Technology Licence Agreement with VEEM Ltd (VEEM) for VEEM to manufacture and supply ABT’s specialised 
park brake mechanism for Thales’ Hawkei Protected Mobility Vehicle – Light project.  

In May 2019, ABT was selected to provide brake related design, prototype development and testing services to Thales, who have been 
contracted by the Commonwealth of Australia to supply 1,100 Hawkei PMV-L vehicles as part of the LAND 121 project. Following the 
successful design and testing of a prototype, ABT worked closely with Thales to determine how the Company was best placed to 
participate in the manufacture and supply phase. It was agreed that ABT would participate through a Technology Licence Agreement 
that protects its Intellectual Property and provides the best risk and return outcome.  

ABT has licenced the manufacture and supply of 1,100 park brake mechanisms for consideration of approximately $630,000 in licence 
and engineering support fees and product revenue for the supply of specified components for 1,100 brake mechanisms, by the earlier

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

of 29 April 2022 or the date that VEEM sells 1,100 brake mechanisms to Thales Australia Ltd. In addition, ABT will supply spare parts 
and consumables for the life of product. 

VEEM’s  supply  of  the  brake  mechanisms  to  Thales  Australia  Ltd  for  Thales’  Hawkei  Protected  Mobility  Vehicle  –  Light  project 
commenced in July 2020. During the year, ABT supplied components for approximately 55% of the 1,100 park brake mechanisms to 
be manufactured and supplied by VEEM. In addition to component sales, ABT has also generated licence and engineering support fees 
resulting from VEEM’s supply of completed brake mechanisms to Thales. 

Defence Global Competitiveness Grant 
ABT was awarded a Defence Global Competitiveness Grant (‘Grant’) to the value of $0.24m by the Centre for Defence Industry 
Capability. The Grant was awarded to provide funding for the manufacturing of defence vehicle components for use within ABT 
designed braking mechanisms. The Grant  funds were used primarily to acquire machinery to allow ABT to manufacture specific 
components that form part of the braking mechanism, as well as internal training and progressing the Company’s ISO accreditation. 
Grant funding will be provided over two financial years with $0.096m provided in FY21, and the balance of $0.144m to be provided in 
FY22. 

Research and Development tax incentive 
On 17 September 2020, ABT received $534,000 as a refundable tax offset for eligible research and development expenditure relating 
to the development of its innovative braking solutions during FY20, following the lodgement of the Company’s FY20 income tax return. 

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs 

On 6 December 2020, Mr Andrew Booth was appointed as Director - Strategy & Commercial of the Group to actively identify inorganic 
growth opportunities for the Company. 

On 22 March 2021, the Company appointed Mr David Newcombe as Engineering Manager of the Group, following the resignation of 
Mr Tony Van Litsenborgh as Engineering Manager on 16 April 2021. 

During  the  prior  reporting  period,  global  health  warnings  were  made  by  the  World  Health  organisation  (WHO)  regarding  the 
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the Australian Governor General declared that a human biosecurity emergency exists on 18 
March 2020. There have been widespread and varying operational impacts to many industries that form ABT’s supply chain and 
customers in Australia and overseas. During FY21, the impact on ABT’s operations was not material and ABT amended its business 
operations to reflect the changing operating environment. The Company’s primary customer base remains within the mining and civil 
construction industries, which to-date have continued to operate during the period of emergency. The Company has benefited from 
the financial assistance measures provided by both the Federal and Western Australian governments, to help protect both the business 
operations and its employees. During FY21, ABT received approximately $0.105m in financial assistance from government sources. 

Other than as described elsewhere in this report there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the 
financial year. 

Events subsequent to balance date 

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not 
practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is 
dependent  on  measures  imposed  by  the  Australian  Government  and  other  countries,  such  as  maintaining  social  distancing 
requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

On 19 July 2021, ABT announced to the ASX the lapse of 5,958,109 KMP Options, exercisable at $0.04 and expiring 30 June 2023, 
following the resignation of Mr Tony Van Litsenborgh. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the company's 
operations, the results of those operations, or the company's state of affairs in future financial years. 

Future developments  

The Group will continue to commercialise the FailSafe sealed wet braking system and Terra Dura sealed dry braking system business 
in Australia and Overseas markets.

During the year, the Remuneration Committee met two times to make recommendations to the Board on remuneration policy and 
to recommend salary reviews and short and long-term incentives for the Company’s executives. 

Remuneration Policy 

The remuneration policy of the Company is to pay executive directors and 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. 

The following table shows the gross revenue, net profit / loss and ABV share price of the Company at the end of each respective 
financial year.

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. 

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.  

Voting and comments from the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting 
At the Company’s most recent Annual General Meeting held in November 2020, over 96% of eligible votes were cast for the adoption 
of the 30 June 2020 remuneration report. As no comments were received from shareholders who had voted against the resolution at 
that meeting, the Board does not propose any action with respect to its resolution at this time. The Board considers its remuneration 
policy to be appropriate and properly aligned with the current size and performance of the Group. 

Executive remuneration arrangements 

Remuneration level and mix 
The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities 
within  the  Group  and  aligned  with  market  practice.    ABT  undertakes  an  annual  remuneration  review  to  determine  the  total 
remuneration positioning against the market. 

Remuneration Structure 
In the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components: 

- 
- 

Fixed remuneration; and 
Variable remuneration

New and amended accounting policies adopted by the Group 

(a) 
The Company has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards which have become applicable 
for the current financial report and the Company has not changed its accounting policies as there were no new standards 
for adoption during the period. 

Principles of Consolidation 

(b) 
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. 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

(c) 
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 

(d) 
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) 

(e) 
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 

(f) 
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

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. 

(g) 

Income Tax 

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. 

(h) 

Financial Instruments 

Recognition and initial measurement 
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  Group  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 (except for trade receivables) 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. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other 
circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant 
financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Financial liabilities 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at: 

• 
• 

amortised cost; or 
fair value through profit or loss. 

A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is: 

- 

- 
- 

a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations 
applies; 
held for trading; or 
initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss. 

All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the  amortised  cost  of  a  debt  instrument  and  of  allocating 
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the 
financial  asset  or  liability.  That  is,  it  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  through  the 
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. 

A financial liability is held for trading if: 

- 
- 
- 

it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term; 
part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or 
a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative 
that is in effective a hedging relationship). 

Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that they are not part 
of a designated hedging relationship recognised in profit or loss. 

The  change  in  fair  value  of  the  financial  liability  attributable  to  changes  in  the  issuer's  credit  risk  is  taken  to  other 
comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained 
earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income 
enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than 
other comprehensive income. 

A financial liability cannot be reclassified. 

Financial assets 
Financial assets are subsequently measured at: 

- 
- 
- 

amortised cost; 
fair value through other comprehensive income; or 
fair value through profit or loss. 

Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria: 

- 
- 

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and 
the business model for managing the financial assets. 

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost: 

- 
- 

the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and 
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. 

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: 
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

- 

the business model for managing the financial assets comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the 
selling of the financial asset. 

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value 
through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

The Group initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if:  

- 

- 

- 

it  eliminates  or  significantly  reduces  a  measurement  or  recognition  inconsistency  (often  referred  to  as 
“accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains 
and losses on them on different bases; 
it is in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the 
groupings was documented appropriately, so that the performance of the financial liability that was part of a 
Company of financial liabilities or financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value 
basis; 
it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise 
required by the contract. 

The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option 
on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised. 

Equity instruments 
At  initial  recognition,  as  long  as  the  equity  instrument  is  not  held  for  trading  and  not  a  contingent  consideration 
recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies, the Group has the 
option to make an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent changes in fair value of the equity instruments in 
other comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received on underlying equity instruments investment will 
still be recognised in profit or loss.  The Group currently has no equity instrument financial assets. 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in accordance 
with the Company's accounting policy. 

Derecognition 
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement 
of financial position. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the  obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 
modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition 
of a new financial liability. 

The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  liability  derecognised  and  the  consideration  paid  and 
payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derecognition of financial assets 
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred 
in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. 

All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset: 

- 
- 
- 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; 
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and 
the Company no longer controls the asset (ie the Group has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to 
sell the asset to a third party). 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount 
and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative 
gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. 

On  derecognition  of  an  investment  in  equity  which  was  elected  to  be  classified  under  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not 
reclassified to profit or loss but is transferred to retained earnings. 

Impairment 
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on: 

- 
- 
- 
- 

financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income; 
contract assets (eg amounts due from customers under construction contracts); 
loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and 
financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

Loss allowance is not recognised for: 

- 
- 

financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or 
equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. 

Expected  credit  losses  are  the  probability-weighted  estimate  of  credit  losses  over  the  expected  life  of  a  financial 
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due, and all cash flows expected 
to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument. 

The Group uses the following approach to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments: 

- 

the simplified approach 

Simplified approach 
The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead requires 
the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. This approach is applicable to: 

- 

trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions within the scope of AASB 15: Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers and which do not contain a significant financing component 

In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables is used taking into consideration various 
data to get to an expected credit loss (ie diversity of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss experience, 
etc). 

Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements 
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset. 

Provisions 

(i) 
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 

(j) 
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. 

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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus 
issue. 

Inventories 

(k) 
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. 

Revenue and Other Income 

(l) 
The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018. 

Under AASB 15, revenues are generated by the Group through the design, development, manufacture and distribution of improved 
vehicle braking systems based on the Group’s patented technology to customers worldwide. 

For sales of products, revenue is recognised in a point in time when control of the products has transferred to the customer, which 
is usually when the products are delivered to the customers.  Volume discounts could be provided with the sale of these items 
depending on the volume of aggregate sales made to eligible customers.  Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon 
the delivery of the service to the customer.  A receivable will be recognised when the goods or services are delivered.  The Group’s 
right  to  consideration  is  deemed  unconditional  at  this  time  as  only  the  passage  of  time  is  required  before  payment  of  that 
consideration is due.  There is no financing component because sales are made within standard credit terms as agreed with the 
customers. All sales revenues to external customers are recognised at a point in time. 

Other Revenue 
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. 

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. 

(m)  Government Grants 
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 and are recognised on an accruals basis. 

Intangibles Other than Goodwill 

(n) 
Technology Assets / Patents 
Such assets are recognised at cost of acquisition. The cost of technology assets is 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) was initially amortised over 15 
years.  The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. 

The amortisation rate was reassessed in prior years, based on the extended patents, which currently run through to December 2030.  

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

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. 

(o) 

Leases 

The Group as lessee 
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-
use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all 
contracts that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases 
of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement 
date.  The  lease  payments  are  discounted  at  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease.  If  this  rate  cannot  be  readily 
determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: 

– 
– 

fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; 
variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  rate,  initially  measured  using  the index  or  rate  at  the 
commencement date; 
the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 
– 
the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; 
– 
lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and 
– 
–  payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate 

the lease. 

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before 
the  commencement  date  and  any  initial  direct  costs.  The  subsequent  measurement  of  the  right-of-use  assets  is  at  cost  less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. 

Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to 
exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

(p) 
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. 

ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

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. 

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 
Leasehold improvements 

2-5 years 
3-15 years 
3-5 years 
3-5 years 
5-10 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. 

(q) 

Employee Benefits 

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

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. 

Comparative Figures 

(r) 
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 

(s) 
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. 

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 

(t) 
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. 

Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Judgments 

(u) 
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. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the 
company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, 
supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does

not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to 
events or conditions which may impact the  Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the 
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

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. 

Key Estimates - Share based payment transactions  
The fair value of any options issued as remuneration is measured using the Black-Scholes model. Measurement inputs include share 
price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on historic volatility adjusted for changes 
expected due to publicly available information, if any), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical 
experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). 

Key Estimates - Recoverability of Intangible Assets (Development Expenditure)  
The recoverability of capitalised development expenditure recognised as a non-current asset is dependent upon the successful 
commercialisation, or alternatively sale, of the respective intellectual property which comprise the assets. 

New Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted  

(v) 
A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet  effective for 30 June 2021 
reporting period and have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. 

The directors' assessment of these new accounting standards (to the extent relevant to the Group) and interpretations is that they 
are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Group. 

Going Concern Basis of Preparation 

(w) 
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and 
the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ended 30 June 2021, the 
Group recorded a  profit after tax of $0.620m (2020: $0.171m) and reported operating cash  inflows of $1.212m (2020: inflows 
$0.242m).  At balance date and as detailed in Note 17, the Company has current borrowings of $0.283m (2020: $0.055m). 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on it being able successfully raise further funding or generate 
adequate cashflows from its operations or a combination of both.  The Directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate, 
primarily based on current working capital available combined with budgeted cashflows expected to be generated from trading 
operations over the next 12 months. 

The Directors believe that as at the date of signing the financial statements, there are reasonable grounds to believe that, having 
regards to the matters set out above, the Group will be able to continue to operate as a going concern and to meet its obligations as 
and when they fall due, for at least the next 12 months.

The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: 
(a)   

 the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be 
utilised; 
 the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and  
 no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the company in utilising the benefits. 

(b)  
(c)   

Corporate Tax Rate: 

e. 
The corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2022 providing certain turnover thresholds 
and other criteria are met. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in 
the future income year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled. The Directors have determined that the deferred tax 
balances be measured at the tax rates stated.

the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade

Impairment Disclosure 
An impairment assessment of intangibles was performed in April 2017, triggered by the impending introduction of the new 
polymer Terra Durra brake.  This assessment confirmed the carrying amount of the SIBS (Failsafe) Wet Brake Intellectual 
Property and extended the amortisation period to December 2030 to coincide with the expiry date of the existing patents.  
No impairment assessment of intangibles was performed 2021 or 2020, as there were no impairment triggers.

WAEP (i) 

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 $500,000 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. 

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 2021 and 30 June 2020 are as below. 

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. 

Gearing ratio 

CONSOLIDATED GROUP 
2020 
0.3% 

2021 
(18.1%) 

As the Group’s gearing ratio has dropped significantly in 2021 due to the Group’s increased equity position and low levels 
of interest bearing liabilities, the Group’s capital risk management focus has become the management of its current 
working capital position to meet anticipated operating requirements. 

The working capital positions of the Group at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 were as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Other current assets

2.  During the period, 5,958,109 unlisted options issued to a KMP in 2020 were not able to meet the vesting 

conditions, due to the resignation of KMP Mr Tony Van Litsenborgh on 16 April 2021. An amount of $55,000 was 
reversed in relation to the total valuation of the KMP options amortised to his resignation date, comprised of 
$26,000 and $29,000 related to the amortisation during the years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021 
respectively. 

(c)  Unlisted options valuation 

The fair value of the equity settled share options granted during the period are estimated at the date of grant using a 
Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The following 
table lists the inputs to the model used for the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 

As at 30 June 2021 Advanced Braking Pty Ltd was entitled to interest on deposits at the National Australia Bank at rates 
at the weighted average of 0.34% per annum (2020: 0.15% per annum).  

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the interest rate risk exposure in existence at the balance sheet date. The 0.25% 
(2020: 0.50%) 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. 

Possible movements before tax: 
+0.25% (2020: 0.5%) per annum 
-0.25% (2020: -0.5%) per annum

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 2021, the Company does not have any forward foreign exchange contracts in place. As at 30 June 2021 the 
Group had the following exposure to foreign currency:

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency risk exposure in existence at the balance sheet date. 
The 11% (2020: 7%) sensitivity is based on reasonable possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed range of 
actual historical rates in foreign exchange movements over the last two years. 

In the year to 30 June 2021, if the Australian Dollar had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables 
held constant, the results before tax relating to financial assets and would have been affected as shown below:

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.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties 
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 9. The class of assets described as "trade 
and other receivables" is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group. 

On  a  geographical  basis,  the  Group  has  significant  credit  risk  exposures  in  Australia  given  the  substantial 
operations in that region. The Group’s exposure to credit risk for receivables at the end of the reporting period 
in that regions is as follows:

There has been no change in the estimation techniques used or significant assumptions made during the current reporting 
period. 
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty 
and there is no realistic prospect of recovery; for example, when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered 
into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of 
the trade receivables that have been written off are subject to enforcement activities. 

(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 2021 resulted 
in no adjustment to the provision for obsolete inventory. 

Intangible assets as at 30 June 2021 only comprises the Wet Brake technology assigned from Safe Effect Technologies 
International Ltd on 27 June 2006. The amortisation period is to December 2030, being the current life of patents, which 
underpin the carrying value.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE 

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the company 
up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The 
situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, 
such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be 
provided. 

On 19 July 2021, ABT announced to the ASX the lapse of 5,958,109 KMP Options, exercisable at $0.04 and expiring 30 June 
2023, following the resignation of KMP, Mr Tony Van Litsenborgh. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 
company's operations, the results of those operations, or the company's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LIMITED 

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Advanced  Braking  Technology  Limited  (the  Company)  and  its 
subsidiary (the  “Group”), which  comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2021,  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, and 
notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion: 

a)  the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the  Corporations Act 2001, 

including: 

i.  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

ii.  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section 
of our report.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our opinion. 

We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor  independence  requirements  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of 
the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given 
to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this 
auditor’s report.  

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current year.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters (continued) 

Valuation of Failsafe (WET) Brake Technology 
Refer to Notes 1(n) & 15 Intangibles 

The carrying value of Advanced Braking’s Failsafe 
Brake  Technology  as  at  30  June  2021  was 
$607,000  and  the  related  amortisation  charge 
for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $64,000. 

The  carrying  value  and  amortisation  rate  are 
reviewed  annually  by  management  with 
reference  to  current  and  forecast  trading 
performance, relevant technological factors and 
other  operational  indicators.  This  involves  a 
significant amount of management judgement. 

This  is  a  key  area  of  audit  focus  because  the 
carrying value is material and the value is subject 
to  significant  management 
judgement  and 
estimates. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 
•  Assessed  the  reasonableness  of  management’s 
assertions  and  estimates  regarding  estimated 
useful life of the asset with reference to its patent 
information  currently  registered  with  local  and 
foreign intellectual property government agencies.  
•  Held  discussions  with  management  that  the 
amortisation  period  (useful  life)  at  the  end  of  the 
financial year remained appropriate and that there 
were  no  conditions  which  would  adversely  affect 
the valuation of the intangibles 

•  Assessment  of  any 

impairment 

the  market  capitalisation  of 

triggers  by 
the 
comparing 
Company against the carrying value of its total net 
assets  at  balance  date.    The  year-end  market 
capitalisation of $13.27 million far exceeded the net 
asset  value.  There  were  no  other  impairment 
triggers  based  on  the  Group’s  improved  financial 
performance  and  position  during  the  year  and  its 
future budgeted performance. 

•  Tested  the  amortisation  expense  recorded  and 
ensured consistency with the accounting policy. 
•  Considered whether the relevant disclosures in the 
statements  were  appropriate  and 

financial 
adequate.

Key Matters (continued) 

Existence and Valuation of Inventories 
Refer to Note 10 Inventories 

The carrying value of inventory as at 30 June 2021 
was  $1.77  million.  Inventory  comprises  finished 
goods and components. 

Inventories are held in significant quantities and are 
valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value 
(NRV).  

A provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory 
is raised by management, the assessment of which 
is  subject  to  significant  management  judgement. 
Obsolete and slow-moving inventory could result in 
an  overstatement  of 
the  carrying  value  of 
inventories as the recorded cost may be higher than 
the net realisable value.  

Given inventories are the Company’s single largest 
asset,  we  have  therefore 
inventory 
existence and valuation as a key audit matter. 

identified 

Our procedures to test the existence and valuation 
of inventories included, amongst others: 
•  Testing the relevant internal control procedures 
relating  to  the  existence  and  valuation  of 
inventory,  including  attendance  at  the  physical 
near

and 
undertaking our own test counts

•  Performing  test  of  details  on  historical  costs, 
including  testing  the  mathematical  accuracy  of

Key Matters (continued) 

Valuation of Receivables 
Refer to Note 9 Trade & Other Receivables 
Valuation of receivables is a key audit matter. 

It is due to the size of the account balances and the 
judgements  required  in  determining  their  carrying 
value that this is a key area of audit focus. 

Trade  debtors  amounted  to  $1.43  million  as  at  30 
June 2021.   

The  Group  assesses  periodically  and  at  each  year 
end  the  expected  credit  loss  associated  with  its 
receivables.  When  there  is  expected  credit  loss 
impairment, the amount and timing of future cash 
flows are estimated based on historical, current and 
forward-looking  loss  experience  for  assets  with 
similar credit risk characteristics. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  Review  of  the  level  of  export  trade  credit 
insurance 
debtors, 
for 
subsequent receipt collections from debtors and 
ageing analysis post year end.

•  Review  of  expected  credit  loss  workings  and 
assessments  prepared  by  management 
in 
including  an 
relation  to  trade  receivables, 
analysis  of 
the  credit  risk  characteristics 
attributed to significant trade debtors as part of 
our assessment of the adequacy of impairment 
provisions. 

•  Discussion with management and the  directors 
as to the existence of any arrears/disputes with 
debtors and the impact these factors have had 
on the assessment of impairment provisions by 
management. 

•  Review of disclosures made in the notes to the 

financial statements 

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial 
report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express 
any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (CONTINUED) 

Responsibilities of the Directors 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 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In  preparing  the  financial  report,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the  ability  of  the  Group  to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going 
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, 
or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that  includes our 
opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted 
in accordance  with  the Australian  Auditing  Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud  or error  and are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of this financial report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2021.pdf.  
This description forms part of our audit report.
