OPERATING AND
FINANCIAL REPORT
Financial Summary
The Company reported financial results for the year
ended 30 June 2025, with revenue from continuing
operations of $19.13m (FY24: $15.29m), which
represents a 21% increase on the prior year. The
net profit for the year of $1.78m (FY24: $1.30m).
Despite higher revenue than the previous year, net
profit was maintained at a similar level, indicating
effective cost management. This outcome was
primarily driven by two factors: a shift in product
mix resulting in lower average margins, and a higher
proportion of international sales, which attract
distributor discounts. While revenue growth reflects
increased demand and expanding market reach, the
margin impact of these sales dynamics offset the
profit contribution from top-line growth.
The Company reports a balance sheet with cash and
receivables of $5.93m (FY24: $5.40m). Net assets
as at 30 June 2025 have increased 27.6% from
FY24 to $10.73m. The increase in net assets was
primarily driven by higher inventory levels, R&D tax
incentives, and
prepayments.
Inventory
was
increased to support open customer orders and
maintain safety stock in line with rising sales.
Increased investment in
self-funded
research
and development led to a corresponding rise
in R&D tax receivables. Prepayments also rose
due to the exclusive global distribution agreement
entered into in October 2024.
Cash balance of $2.88m, is up from the $2.40m
at 30 June 2024. Trade and other payables
$2.28m (FY24: $1.95m). Trade receivables remains at
$3.00m (FY24: $3.00m).

refundable offset for the year of $726k (FY24: $947k) as the
Company continues to invest in self-funded new product
development which will deliver revenue diversification and
scale opportunities.
Revenue
Expenses for FY25 totaled $18.10m (FY24: $14.80m)
representing a 22% increase on prior year. The increase
in expenses is consistent with the Company’s strategic
objectives to support step-change growth and reflects
deliberate investment in building organisational capability
— including key systems upgrades, attracting and retaining
talent, and expanding our international footprint
Expenses
The cash balance increased to $2.88m (FY24: $2.40m),
supported by higher revenue, with the Company reporting
positive operating cash flow of $0.10 million (FY24: \$0.30
million). To minimise potential delivery disruptions, the
Company has proactively invested in inventory by purchasing
stock in advance and maintaining higher levels than
previously required. With a strong sales pipeline in place,
this approach supports order fulfillment and underpins
operational resilience. As the Company strengthens its
operations, effective supply chain risk management has
become increasingly critical—representing a prudent and
necessary investment to secure future revenue opportunities.

Ongoing development and enhancement of IT policies
and procedures, including controls over device use,
system access, and data security.
Mandatory cyber security awareness training for all
employees.
Regular cyber risk updates to the Board.
Health & Safety Risk
Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace is fundamental
to ABT’s operations. Inadequate health and safety practices
could result in workplace injuries, operational delays, or legal
non-compliance.
Mitigation Strategies:
A comprehensive Occupational Health & Safety
Management System is in place.
Continuous review and refinement of safety procedures
and incident response protocols
People Risk
Western Australia’s mining boom has intensified competition
for skilled labour, particularly in engineering, manufacturing,
and technical roles.
Mitigation Strategies:
Competitive remuneration and benefits offerings.
Strategic workforce planning, including succession and
critical role coverage.
Investment in talent development, apprenticeships, and
partnerships with local institutions.
Innovation Risk
Innovation is critical to ABT’s ability to deliver tailored
engineering solutions that meet evolving customer needs.
A failure to innovate could impact market share and
competitiveness.
Mitigation Strategies:
Ongoing investment in research, development, and
engineering capabilities.
Focus on intellectual property protection and recruitment
of skilled technical personnel.
Maintaining
a
strong
value
proposition
through
performance, quality, and innovation
Strategic Risk
ABT continually evaluates strategic opportunities to expand
capabilities and enter new markets. Poor strategic execution
could affect long-term business viability.
Mitigation Strategies:
Regular review of strategic initiatives by the Board.
Disciplined investment decision-making and capital
allocation.
Monitoring
of
market
conditions
and
competitor
landscape
Supply Chain Risk
ABT relies on key suppliers for critical components, making
the business vulnerable to supply disruptions and cost
increases.
Mitigation Strategies:
Long-term relationships with strategic suppliers.
Forecast sharing to support supplier planning.
Development of contingency plans and alternative
sourcing strategies.
Climate Change Risk
ABT is exposed to physical and transitional risks associated
with climate change. These include potential supply chain
disruptions due to extreme weather events, and evolving
regulatory requirements related to emissions, energy use,
and environmental compliance. These factors may increase
operational costs, impact asset values, or affect customer
demand, particularly in carbon-sensitive markets. The
company continues to monitor these risks and integrate
sustainability considerations into strategic and operational
planning.

BOARD OVERSIGHT OF REMUNERATION
Remuneration Committee
During the year, the Remuneration Committee met 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 Committees 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 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 2022 Annual General Meeting
(AGM) held on November 2022 when Shareholders approved
an aggregate fee pool of $500,000 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 Chair, each Non-Executive
Director received a base fee of $55,000 per annum plus the
superannuation guarantee contribution. The Chair received
a base fee of $85,000 plus the superannuation guarantee
contribution.
Voting and Comments from the Company’s
2024 Annual General Meeting
At the Company’s most recent Annual General Meeting held
in November 2024, majority of eligible votes were cast for
the adoption of the 30 June 2024 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 engaged a Renumeration consultant during the
period to assess its remuneration policy and considers the
policy to be appropriate and properly aligned with the current
size and performance of the Group.

Directors’ Report
Cash Bonuses, Performance-related Bonuses and Share-based Payments
Details of STI’s and LTI’s are as follows:
Short Term Incentives
The Company has implemented minimum performance conditions for senior executive participation in the FY25 Short-Term
Incentive (STI) plan. For an STI to be payable, at least one of the following performance thresholds must be met:
•
Gross Profit Margin (GPM)
•
Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT)
Each financial year, these minimum GPM and NPBT thresholds will be reviewed and reset. Executives are eligible to receive an
STI if at least one of the two targets is achieved.
In addition to financial thresholds, executives must also meet individual Key Performance Requirements (KPRs), which are
established and agreed with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and for the CEO, with the Remuneration Committee, at the
beginning of each financial year. These KPRs are designed to be measurable, achievable with some stretch, and aligned with
strategic objectives. All STI payments will be made in cash.
There were no short-term cash incentives accrued for 2025. (2024: $68,733 paid in 2025).

Directors’ Report
As at 30 June 2025, there were no unexercised or outstanding options held by any KMP.
Shares Issued on Exercise of Options
During the year ended 30 June 2025, 14,895,273 options were exercised. (2024: 2,979,054 expired, 5,958,109 lapsed on
employee termination).
In November 2024 and June 2025, the company issued 5,958,109 new ordinary shares in the Company on the exercise of
5,958,109 unlisted options exercisable at $0.06 to Ms Godbeer.
In May 2025, the company issued 2,979,055 new ordinary shares in the Company on the exercise of 2,979,055 unlisted options
exercisable at $0.04 to Mr Booth.
In May and June 2025, the company issued 5,958,109 new ordinary shares in the Company on the exercise of 5,958,109
unlisted options exercisable at $0.06 to Mr Booth.
Performance Rights
During the year, the Board endorsed the use of Performance Rights as the preferred LTI instrument for senior executives, in
place of Options. Performance Rights are considered more appropriate due to their reduced dilutive impact on the Company’s
equity and their suitability in a volatile share price environment.
The Performance Rights will be subject to two key performance hurdles:
•
Total Shareholder Return (TSR); and
•
Earnings per Share Growth (EPS).
In addition, a three-year tenure-based vesting condition will apply. Performance Rights will be offered annually on a rolling
basis. Rights will lapse if performance and tenure conditions are not met.
Where an executive ceases employment having met all vesting conditions, a 30-day window will be provided to exercise
vested rights.
This structure is intended to align executive rewards with shareholder value creation and to support long-term company
growth. The use of Performance Rights is also viewed as a strong motivational tool, reinforcing the achievement of strategic
financial objectives set by the Board. As at the reporting date, the performance rights had been granted but not yet accepted
by the executives.
ABT Annual Report 2025

Share-based Payment Arrangements and Controlled Trust
During the year, the Company advanced limited recourse loans to Mr A Booth and Ms A Godbeer to fund the exercise of
8,379,691 options into ordinary shares under the Employee Incentive Securities Plan. The loans are repayable only from the
sale proceeds of the related shares, capped at the loan amount, and are therefore accounted for as equity-settled share-
based payments under AASB 2 Share-based Payment.
The total fair value of the equity instruments granted, approximated by the loan value, was $502,781.42. The vesting period is
two years, commencing 27th June 2025. For the year ended 30 June 2025, the expense recognised is $1,503 (FY24: Nil), reflects
valuation by way of Black Scholes model with inputs below.
The shares are held in the Advanced Braking Technology Option Share Trust, which exists solely to facilitate the Company’s
employee equity incentive plans. Under AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, the trust is consolidated into the Group’s
accounts. Shares held in the trust are classified as treasury shares and deducted from equity until transferred to employees.
At 30 June 2025, the trust held 8,379,691 shares related to this arrangement.

with those of shareholders.

Godbeer respectively at $0.088, under the Employee Share
Scheme. These shares are subject to a restriction trading until

behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings
to which the Company is a party, for the purposes of taking
responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those
proceedings.
Non-Audit Services
The Board of Directors, in accordance with advice from the
Audit and Risk committee, is satisfied that the provision of
non-audit services during the year is compatible with the
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by
the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below
did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for
the following reasons:
- all non-audit services are reviewed and approved to ensure
they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the
auditor; and
- the nature of the services provided does not compromise
the general principles relating to auditor independence in
accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
About these statements
The nature of the operations and principal activities
of the Group are described in the Directors Report,
which is not part of the financial statements.
The
financial
statements
are
presented
in
Australian dollars, which is the functional and
presentation currency of the Company.
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.
New standards and interpretations not yet
adopted
AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements
This standard is applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and
early adoption is permitted. The standard replaces
IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements', with
many
of
the
original
disclosure
requirements
retained and there will be no impact on the
recognition and measurement of items in the
financial statements. But the standard will affect
presentation
and
disclosure
in
the
financial
statements, including introducing five categories in
the
statement
of
profit
or
loss
and
other
comprehensive
income:
operating,
investing,
financing,
income
taxes
and
discontinued
operations.
The standard introduces two mandatory sub-totals
in the statement: 'Operating profit' and 'Profit
before financing and income taxes'. There are also
new disclosure requirements for 'management-
defined performance measures', such as earnings
before
interest,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortisation ('EBITDA') or 'adjusted profit'. The
standard
provides
enhanced
guidance
on
grouping
of
information
(aggregation
and
disaggregation), including whether to present this
information in the primary financial statements or in
the notes.
The consolidated entity will adopt this standard
from 1 July 2027 and it is expected that there will
be a significant change to the layout of the
statement
of
profit
or
loss
and
other
comprehensive income.
Advanced Braking Technology Limited ("ABT" or
the "Group") is a for-profit company limited by
shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its
shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock
Exchange ("ASX").
The financial statements were authorised for issue
in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on
28 August 2025.The Directors have the power to
amend and reissue the financial report.

Principles of consolidation (cont'd)
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and
judgements
Principles of consolidation
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements
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.
Comparative figures
When
required
by
Accounting
Standards,
comparative
figures
have
been
adjusted
to
conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
24.
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.
New standards and interpretations not yet
adopted
Australian
Accounting
Standards
and
Interpretations that have recently been issued or
amended but are not yet mandatory, have not
been early adopted by the consolidated entity for
the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2025.
Further
information
regarding
the
Group’s
significant judgements and key estimates and
assumptions, being those where changes may
materially affect financial results and the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities to be reported in
the next reporting period, are embedded within the

REVENUE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
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.
The location of assets is disclosed below by geographical location of the assets:
The Group’s principal activities are research and development, commercialisation, manufacture and
installation of the Failsafe® wet sealed braking systems. The Group’s activities are predominantly
conducted in Australia and via distribution arrangements to other countries.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment. All the Group’s
activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating
Decision Maker) as a single segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the
financial statements of the Group.
The performance of the operating segment is evaluated based on profit before tax and net finance
costs (profit before interest and tax) and is measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting
policies. The Group’s financing requirements, finance income, finance costs and taxes are managed
on a group basis.
Revenue attributable to external customers is disclosed below, based on the location of the external
customer.
Revenue from one external customer amounted to $2.420 million (2024: $1.851, million), which
represents 12% of the Group’s total revenue for the year. No other single customer contributed 10%
or more of total Group revenue during the reporting period.
There have been no changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement basis for segment
profit or loss since June 2024.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
Other Sales includes on and off-site installations and freight.
For sales of products, revenue is recognised at 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 on and off-site repair and installation
service is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or a
variable price depending on the nature of repair and is recognised in the accounting period in which
the services are rendered.
Other income
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
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.
R&D Tax incentives have been accounted for as government grants and are recognised on an
accruals basis.

(c) no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the company in utilising the benefits.
f.
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.
Note 1: The corporate tax rate for eligible companies is 25% providing certain turnover thresholds
and other criteria are met. All other companies are taxed at 30%. 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.
(a) the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable
the benefits to be utilised;
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
The tests for the recoverability of tax loss DTAs have been met, supporting their recognition.
Advanced Braking Technology Limited at 30 June 2025, adopted the stand-alone taxpayer method
for measuring the current and deferred tax amounts.
Note 2:
For the purpose of income taxation, Advanced Braking Technology Limited and its 100%
Australian controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group effective from 1 July 2023.
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd is the head entity of the consolidated group. There are no tax
funding/ sharing agreements in place.

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.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, including interest rate risk,
liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. The Directors review and agree policy for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised as follows:
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term cash deposits
from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed
interest rate financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed as part of the portfolio risk
management strategy.
The Group's exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's cash and term deposits
with financial institutions. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the consolidated entity to fair
value risk, our interest rate for insurance premium for FY25 is 3.98%. Refer to Note 13 for futher details.
The sensitivity analysis below is based on the interest rate risk exposure in existence at the reporting
date. The 1.5% (2024: 3.6%) 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.

as at 30 June 2025
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's
risk management framework. The Audit & Risk Committee, established by the Directors, is responsible
for development and monitoring of risk management strategy, policy and key risk parameters. The
Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, interest bearing deposits, lease and a trade
finance facility. The purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the growth of the Group and to
provide working capital for the Group’s operations.
The Group has various other financial instruments including trade debtors and trade creditors which
arise directly out of its operations and through the negotiation of trading terms with customers and
suppliers. During the period under review, the Group has not traded in financial instruments. However,
it is Group policy to hedge foreign currency against fluctuations where appropriate, which may result in
exchange losses or gains. The company do not have any hedges given the low exposure.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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 12 months past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade receivables that have been
written off are subject to enforcement activities.
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB
9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure
the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk
characteristics and the days past due, of which the identified losses was immaterial. On the above
basis, a provision for expected credit losses as at 30 June 2025 is $0k.(2024:$20K)
To manage credit risk, the Group has procedures covering the application for credit approvals,
proactive monitoring of exposures against set approvals. As part of these processes, the credit
exposures with all counterparties are regularly monitored and assessed on a timely basis.
There has been no change in the estimation techniques used or significant assumptions made during
the current reporting period.
The effective interest rate on short-term bank deposits was 4.49% (2024: 4.72%) and can mature with 30
days of notice.
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.
The carrying values approximate their fair value as they are short term in nature or are receivable on
demand.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trade and other receivables are recognised on initial recognition at fair value. Subsequent to intial
recognition, trade receivables are measured, less an allowance for expected credit loss. Other
receivables are non interest bearing.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
The collectability of trade and other receivables is assessed continuously. At the reporting date,
specific allowances are made for any expected credit losses based on a review of all outstanding
amounts at reporting period-end. Individual receivables are written off when management deems
them unrecoverable. The net carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair
values.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of
the financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days
of recognition.
For trade and other payables, the fair value is approximate to their carrying value amount, due to their
short-term nature.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured
products includes direct materials. 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.
As at 30 June 2025, trade receivables of $3.056m (2024: $3.020m) are not impaired. The majority of
these receivables were less than 60 days overdue.

Key estimate - Lease Term and Option to Extend
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
The decision on whether or not the options to extend are reasonably going to be exercised is a key
management judgement that the entity will make. The Group determines the likeliness to exercise
looking at the various factors such as which assets are strategic and which are key to future strategy of
the entity.
The Group has signed a lease on a property on 8 March 2023. The lease will run for a 5 year period,
with an reasonable certainty to renew for a further 5 year, on a 4 month rent free basis but will be
liable for outgoings from the start of the lease.
The Company recognises the right of use asset and liability on the balance sheet from the date of
commencement of the lease. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight line method from
the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end
of the lease term.
Lease liabilities include net present value of variable lease payments that are based on index or rate.
The Group’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities was 8.41%.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit
or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period.
Provisions can be recognised for all components of inventories, including raw materials, work in
progress and finished goods.
The Group considers a number of factors when determining the appropriate level of inventory
provisioning, including regulatory approvals and future demand for Group's products.
R&D rebate remains outstanding as at 30 June 2025.

Short-term employee benefits
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased
premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The
calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost
estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the
facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are
recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in
the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss.
The Group provides for a provision for warranties for general repairs for 1 year after its products are
sold. The provision for warranties represents the liability for potential warranty claims against the
Group. If a product fails during the period there is a risk that the product may have to be replaced
under warranty, free of charge.
Employee entitlement provisions
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as at 30 June 2025
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 corporate 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 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.
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.

Leasehold
improvements
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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in profit and loss.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Intangible assets are recognised at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. The useful life and amortisation method are reviewed annually.
The Group holds Wet Brake technology, assigned from Safe Effect Technologies International Ltd on 27
June 2006, with patents running through to December 2030. In the current year, the Group also recognised

can demonstrate the technical feasibility, intention, and ability to complete and use or sell the asset, the
probability of generating future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the
development, and the ability to measure costs reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised over
their expected useful lives commencing from the start of commercial sales.

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
2025, 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 report, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated
entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion 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 2025 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with 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 (including Independence Standards) (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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
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 period. 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.
Existence and Valuation of Inventories
Audit Approach
As disclosed in Note 10, the Group held a
material inventory balance as at 30 June
2025. Inventory valuation and existence was
identified as a key audit matter due to the
following factors:
•
Significance of the balance, inventory
represents a substantial proportion of the
Group’s total assets.
•
Estimation uncertainty, management
judgement is involved in determining
provisions for obsolescence, including the
assessment of net realisable value
(‘NRV’); and
•
Judgement in cost allocation and applying
an appropriate costing methodology in
accordance with the Group’s accounting
policy.
These factors increase the complexity and
subjectivity of the audit in this area. Refer to
Note 10 for the detailed disclosures which
include the related accounting policy and
Note 1 for accounting estimates.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
Obtaining the inventory listing at 30 June
2025 and verifying to underlying accounting
records;
-
Attending the year end inventory stocktake
and performing independent sighting
procedures;
-
Assessing whether consignment stock was
held at 30 June 2025;
-
Considering the ageing profile of inventory,
specifically considering redundant/
superseded product lines and slow moving
items;
-
Considering the inventory provisioning policy
and assessing the assumptions applied by
management in determining the provision;
-
Obtaining and recalculating management’s
stock obsolescence calculation for adequacy
and accuracy;
-
Testing a sample of inventory items on hand
at year end to ascertain whether these
balances were being recognised at the lower
of cost and net realisable value; and
-
Assessing the adequacy of financial report
disclosures.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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.
Other matter
The financial report of Advanced Breaking Technology Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2024 was
audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on that report on 29 August 2024.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
a)
the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and
b)
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
i)
the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; and
ii)
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
