Customers continue to undertake significant testing to validate
taking AML3D to the next stage of its evolution in FY22. Some
our products and process, many of which have been in review
of the key milestones achieved during the year include:
for over 18 months. An example of this was the recently
• Completion of the Adelaide facility, which now provides
capacity to print over 30 tonnes per annum.
• Awarding of our Australian Patent 2019251514, and
subsequent international patents in South Korea and
New Zealand, validating the unique and market leading
position of our technology.
• Sale and installation of an ARCEMY® unit at
Rowlands Metalworks.
DNV verified Panama Chock which was manufactured for
Keppel. These approvals are extremely positive with test
results validating what we already knew; whilst being more
environmentally friendly than traditional methods, we are
able to deliver stronger products with longer useful lives.
AML3D intend to build further on this competitive
advantage with a push into increased energy
efficiency on future ARCEMY® systems.
• Custom print jobs completed for key customers including
Financial Results
ASC Shipbuilding, Lightforce, 3D Printing Corporation,
AdditiveNow, Thyssenkrupp and ST Engineering.
• Continued product validation from both customer testing
and independent certifications obtained for our own
artifact manufacture.
We are proud of these achievements and we continue to be
at the forefront of the emerging large-scale 3D metal printing
industry, which is rapidly expanding and expected to have
a market size of US$63 billion by 20261. Our technology
combines welding science, robotics, metallurgy and software
to produce automated wire fed 3D printing in a large free-form
environment. We firmly believe our technology will transform
the metal manufacturing and fabrication landscape forever.
Our disruptive technology is the key to future manufacturing. With
the global drive to (net) zero-emissions, our process minimises
material waste and significantly lowers emissions and electricity
consumption when compared with traditional casting and forging.
Whilst COVID-19 continues to be a disrupting force in all of our
lives, it has further highlighted the need for supply chain security.
AML3D’s financial result for the year reflects the necessary upfront
investment needed to establish the foundation for future success.
These investments include the establishment of our Adelaide
facility, the building of ARCEMY® units for customer manufacture
purposes and ARCEMY® unit sales, production of one-off
prototypes that go through extensive testing and certification, and
research and development (R&D). We are now in the process
of realigning the operations of the business in accordance with
expected ongoing customer demand, whilst continuing to invest in
innovation to ensure AML3D maintains its market leading position.
When compared with our peers, receipts from customers for
the year were a healthy $1.2 million, driven by the building of
strong customer relations, excellent business collaborations
and successful prototype testing results with new customers.
As with many companies, revenue was negatively impacted
by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic preventing both potential
and current customers from product inspection. However, our
sales and marketing teams are building strong momentum
which bodes well in terms of revenue generation for the future.
Our offering provides the ability to promptly deliver an array of
Ongoing Investment in Technology
high-quality, large-scale, custom built components to customers
at competitive prices. All of this can be done with significantly
shorter lead times, less raw material input and waste, and greater
end product strength. In fact, when compared with traditional
fabrication processes, Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM®)
delivers cost savings of up to 70%, while the manufacturing
process is 75% faster and reduces waste by up to 80%.
R&D continues to be a key focus of AML3D, with a strong level
of investment in the development of the Company’s patented
technology which drives process optimisation capability.
Significant efficiency milestones were achieved regarding software
enhancements and programmable logic controllers, leading to
remote access “plug and play” solutions for our ARCEMY® units.

AML3D’s industry scale welding trials are using innovative new
alloy compositions for our WAM® technology, which is enabling
access to new industry segments and exciting opportunities
in terms of product diversification and improvement.
Off the back of Deakin University research investigating the
effect of Scandium as a strengthening element for existing
aluminium welding wire, trials at AML3D are targeting the
creation of high strength commercially viable aluminium-
scandium compounds, which remove the need for age hardening
printing capability due to these markets being relatively mature in
terms of understanding the advantages of additive manufacturing.
We will shortly be installing an ARCEMY® unit in the state-of-
the-art ‘Factory of the Future’, currently under development by
Flinders University and BAE Systems Maritime Australia (BAE)
at the Tonsley Innovation District in Adelaide. Installation of
the unit will be used to demonstrate its capability to industry,
as well as introduce the next generation of free thinkers to our
technology. The trials and research projects to be undertaken
at the ‘Factory of the Future’, in conjunction with BAE and
Flinders University, will enable AML3D to further develop
its large-scale metal additive manufacturing capabilities
through adding features, such as process measurement,
monitoring and adjustments, to improve quality.

As the project enters its final six months, we anticipate
many new applications for WAM® already being shown
by the automotive, resources (mining, oil and gas) and
broader transport industries (such as shipbuilding).
The company views the success of this project as presenting
new target industries for AML3D’s current target markets of
Asia Pacific (inc. Japan, South Korea), Europe (Germany,
France & UK), and North America, with identified industry
applications for the technology in these regions.
Outlook
We remain buoyed by the ongoing customer interaction
and positive feedback that continues to flow. The timing
of our commercial realisation is heavily dependent on the
testing regimes of our customers and the ability to physically
demonstrate our capabilities, however we remain focused
on building the pipeline of sustainable revenue through:
• Targeted unit sales in the upcoming financial year, and
• Repeatable contract manufacturing for new and

Review of Operations
Company Overview
AML3D is an Australian public company incorporated on
14 November 2014. The Company was admitted to the
The Company’s revenue was derived from:
a. ARCEMY ® sales with customers acquiring the ARCEMY ®
3D printing module for their own fabrication needs; and
Official List of ASX on 16 April 2020 and commenced trading
b. Contract manufacturing, which is fulfilling manufacturing
on ASX on 20 April 2020. AML3D is a welding, robotics,
metallurgy and software business which uses automated wire-
fed 3D printing in a large free-form environment to produce
metal components and structures for commercial use.
AML3D has commercialised its wire arc additive manufacturing
technology (under the trademark WAM ®), an innovative metal
additive manufacturing technology for the cost-effective production
of large, high performance metal components and structures.
AML3D’s proprietary WAM ® process is part of the spectrum
of 3D metal printing that focuses on larger industrial
applications with flexibility across multiple classes of metals
including titanium alloys, nickel alloys and steel alloys.
AML3D’s WAM ® technology combines electric arc as a heat
source with wire as a feedstock and welds sequential layers
of metal to produce near-net shape metal components. WAM ®
technology provides an alternative manufacturing and fabrication
method for the production of components in industry sectors such
orders for customers using our ARCEMY ® 3D printing module.
During the year the Company delivered its first locally sold
ARCEMY ® 3D printing module to Rowland Metalworks
(Rowlands). The unit is now fully functional and AML3D
continues to work closely with Rowlands to enhance the unit’s
capabilities in line with Rowland’s customer requirements.
Preparation of a highly specialised ARCEMY ® module for iKAD
Engineering commenced during the second half of FY21.
At year end, further work was required to complete the unit with
a commissioning date expected during the first half of FY22.
The ARCEMY ® module delivered to ST Engineering in
June 2020 remains under a right-to-use with an option to
buy arrangement. The Company continues to retain the right
to utilise 50% of the module’s printing capacity to manufacture
products for AML3D’s customers in the Asian region and beyond.
ST Engineering has, however, confirmed their intention to exercise
their right to buy the unit outright during the 2022 financial year.

Throughout the year, the Company has sought out
new customers and markets and developed a pipeline
of opportunities which will be built on in FY22.
Financial Results and Position
Revenue for the year was $644,000, up 123% on the Prior
Corresponding Period (PCP). Total revenue for the year,
inclusive of R&D tax offset and grants, was $1.2 million.
EBITDA was a loss of $5.1 million (PCP: $3.0 million). Overhead
expenses of $6.0 million were $2.3 million higher on PCP with
the Company continuing to invest in activities in accordance
with its business plan. Director and employee benefits were up
$2.1 million on PCP through the bolstering of staff headcount,
and research and development up $677,000 contributing
to the enhancement of existing and new technologies.
Having established the Adelaide facility during the year,
depreciation and amortisation was $409,000, up $323,000 on
PCP. The resulting net loss after tax was $5.5 million (PCP: $3.1
million) with carried forward tax losses not brought to account.
The Company raised $7,000,000 before costs on 12 October
2020 through the private placement of 15,555,557 new shares
at $0.45 per share. A further $761,000 was raised during the
year on the exercising of 2,536,666 options at $0.30 per share.
Funds raised continue to be deployed in the implementation
of the Company’s business plan and to take advantage
of the opportunities that exist for additive manufacturing
in Australia, South East Asia and other markets.
At the end of the financial year, the Company had $7.2
million in cash and cash equivalents on hand having
spent $2.0 million on plant and equipment to establish
the Adelaide facility and $1.9 million on additional
inventory in anticipation of future customer orders.
Use of IPO funds
In the period from admission to ASX on 16 April 2020 and
commencement of quotation of securities on ASX on 20 April
2020 until 30 June 2021, the Company has used the cash and
assets in a form readily convertible to cash that it had at the time
of admission in a way consistent with the Company’s business
objectives, as outlined in the prospectus dated 10 February 2020.
Business Strategies and Prospects
The Company plans to build on the successes achieved
in FY21, summarised above in the Review of Operations.
The main areas of focus in FY22 will be to:
• Grow the Contract Manufacturing Centre’s operations in
Singapore, as we have done in Adelaide;
• Pursue global business opportunities, focusing initially on
creating customer and industry partnerships in high margin
sectors such as marine and defence;
• Continue with our research and development activities to
refine and broaden our range of products and processes,
further developing our environmental sustainability
credentials by reviewing options for use of renewable
energy and lowering energy inputs with the aim of reducing
the carbon footprint of the WAM® process; and
• Build the global profile of AML3D and its products
through collaborations with learning institutions and key
industry players. The company will establish a Technology
Advisory Group with participation from leading technical
institutions, reviewing and advising on current, future trends
and developments in 3D metal printing globally.
AML3D currently has the only diversified large-scale WAM®
metal fabrication facility in the Southern Hemisphere that can
produce finished parts and components to a certified standard
under an accredited Quality Management System. With the
granting of Australian Patent 2019251514, this protection validates
the Company’s market leadership in advanced 3D printing
solutions and opens up new markets for our technology. These
are the advantage that the Company will look to leverage.
The achievement of our strategies and prospects may be
impacted by the COVID19 pandemic, the effects of which
cannot be foreseen.
Material Business Risks
There are a number of material business risks which could affect
the Company’s ability to achieve its business strategies as follows.
Market Acceptance of New Technology
AML3D has commercialised its WAM ® technology and has
established a number of important relationships and research
collaborations. However, there can be no assurances that
the market will accept the WAM ® technology, given that it is
challenging traditional and well-tried technologies such as
machining, casting and forging. WAM ® is a disruptive technology
in traditional manufacturing industries where many potential
users of WAM ® have sunk investment in existing technologies.
Wire arc additive manufacturing is a new technology in a relatively
young industry of 3D metal printing. Widespread awareness-
raising of the advantages and value proposition associated
with the Company’s WAM ® technology will be required to
lift the profile of the technology and educate the market.

impact of restrictions that will be imposed
to combat the pandemic. The pandemic
may result in the loss of or further delay
in sales to customers and potential
customers. It may also impact access
to equipment and supplies, delaying
the delivery of products to customers.

Executive Remuneration
The Board reviews the executive structure and framework
on an annual basis to ensure that the remuneration
framework remains aligned to business needs. The Board
aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
• Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to
attract and retain key talent; and
• Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business
objectives and the creation of shareholder value.
4. Remuneration Components
Non-Executive Directors
Non-executive Directors receive a fixed fee for their
participation on the Board. No additional fee is paid for
service on Board sub-committees. Directors do not receive
performance-based incentives but they are eligible, subject
to shareholder approval, for the grant of options that do
not include performance-based vesting criteria.
Non-Executive Director fees are determined by the Board
within an aggregate fee pool limit as approved by shareholders.
The current aggregate fee pool, as set out in the Constitution
in Rule 14.8 detailing initial fees to Directors, is $400,000.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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. KEY AUDIT MATTER Research and development expenditure - existence and valuation. Refer also to notes 3(i) and 12. How our audit addressed it The Group incurs significant amounts of research and development costs each year. In 2021 these costs amounted to $728,000.

At 30 June 2021 the amount disclosed as a current trade and other receivable in relation to the refund is $410,000. Our audit procedures included: ‒ A detailed evaluation of the Group’s research and development strategy; ‒ Testing the costs incurred; ‒ Engaging our own taxation specialists to consider the appropriateness of the Group's substantiation for the claim; AML3D Limited Independent auditor’s report to members Auditor’s Independence Declaration Under Section 307c Of The Corporations Act 2001 To The Directors Of AML3D Limited I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief during the year ended 30 June 2021 there have been: — no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and — no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

involved, and the significant carrying amount
involved, we have determined that this is a
key audit matter area that our audit
concentrated on.
‒ Reviewing the historical accuracy by comparing actual Tax
offset refunds with the original estimations.
We assessed the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in
respect of the transactions.
KEY AUDIT MATTER
Revenue recognition. Refer also to notes
2(j) and 6.
How our audit addressed it
The Group derives income from the following:
Our audit procedures included:
-
Sale of the ARCEMY 3D printing
module
- Contract
manufacturing
for
customers using owned ARCEMY
3D printing modules
— determining whether revenue recognised is in accordance
with the Group’s accounting policies;
— Identifying and verifying the achievement of performance
milestones and recognition of revenue relative to that
achievement;
Each revenue stream requires a bespoke
revenue recognition model to ensure that
revenue is only recognised
— Examining the existence of revenue by testing both the
contract and subsequent receipt of invoicing of the revenue
to the customer;
— When a performance milestone
is
achieved; and
— It can reliably be measured;
The application of AASB 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers can require
judgement, thus we considered this area to
be a key audit matter.
— Substantively testing revenue cut-off and the income in
advance balance to ensure revenue has been recognised
in the correct period.
We also assessed the appropriateness of disclosures attached
to revenues as required by Accounting Standard AASB 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983 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 these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.

2. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based
on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions
are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding
a business combination, where there is no effect on

Company is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing
the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of AML3D comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on an accruals basis, except for cashflow information and
are based on historical costs, except for the circumstances
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, based on tax
rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date.
Their measurement also reflects the manner in which
management expects to recover or settle the carrying
amount of the related asset or liability.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments
where the fair value method has been applied as detailed in
in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
these accounting policies.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activity and the realisation of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless
otherwise stated.
b. Principles of Consolidation
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all
controlled entities have been incorporated into the
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.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable
that future tax amounts will be available to utilise those
temporary differences and losses.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally
enforceable right of offset exists and it is intended that net

d. Plant and Equipment
i. Recognition and Measurement
Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost
basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. 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.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed
annually by Directors to ensure it is not more than the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable
amount is assessed based on the expected net cash flows
that will be received from the asset’s employment and
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have
not been discounted to their present values in determining
recoverable amounts.
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have
different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate
items of plant and equipment.
ii. Subsequent Costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment
is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is
probable that the future economic benefits embodied within
the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured
and equipment are determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of
plant and equipment and are recognised net within
“other income” in the Statement of Profit or Loss and
Other Comprehensive Income.
e. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other
than deferred tax assets (see accounting policy 2(c)) are reviewed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an
asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group
that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other
assets and asset groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,
unless the asset has previously been revalued, in which case
the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of
that previous revaluation with any excess recognised through the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units
are allocated to the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is
the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not
generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount
is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value

classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case
Other Financial Assets
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is
subsequently measured at amortised cost:
transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
• The financial asset is managed solely to collect

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.
ii. Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial Liabilities
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 rate method.
• 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; and
• 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

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
discounts the estimated future cash flows through the
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying
amount at initial recognition.
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are
recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part
of a designated hedging relationship are 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
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.
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. 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand,

impairment. Collectability of trade and other receivables
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. An impairment loss is
recognised for debts which are known to be uncollectable.
An impairment provision is raised for any doubtful
amounts.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which
are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are
unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day terms.
iii. Impairment of Financial Assets
Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected
credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:
• Financial assets measured at amortised cost
• Debt investments measured at FVOCI
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial
Finance income comprises interest income on funds
invested, gains on the disposal of financial assets and
changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as
it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest
method.
g. Employee Benefits
i. Short-term Employee Benefits
Provision for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual
leave and long service leave that are expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months of the reporting date represent
obligations resulting from the employee’s services provided
to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted
amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that
the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including
related payroll on-costs, such as worker’s compensation
insurance and payroll tax.
asset has increased significantly since initial recognition
ii. Other Long-Term Employee Benefits
and when estimating ECL, the Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant
and available without undue cost or effort. This includes
both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed
credit assessment and including forward looking
information.
The Group uses the presumption that an asset which is
more than 30 days past due has seen a significant increase
in credit risk.
The Group’s obligation in respect of long-term employee
benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have
earned in return for their service in the current and prior
periods plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to
determine its present value. The discount rate applied is
determined by reference to market yields on high quality
corporate bonds at the reporting date that have maturity dates
approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.
iii. Retirement benefit Obligations: Defined contribution
superannuation funds
The Group uses the presumption that a financial asset is in
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit
default when:
• The other party is unlikely to pay its credit
obligations to the Group in full, without recourse
to the Group to actions such as realising security
(if any is held); or
• The financial asset is more than 90 days
past due.
Impairment of trade receivables is determined using the
simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an estimation of
lifetime expected losses.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including
loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is
used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets
impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible
measures of recovery, if management establishes that the
carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that
plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into
a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive

contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds
are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as incurred.
iv. Equity-settled Compensation
The Group operates an employee share option plan. The fair
value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value
is measured at grant date and spread over the period during
which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the
options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using
the Black-Scholes pricing model, considering the terms and
conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount
recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share

lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short
term leases (i.e. a lease with a remaining lease term of
12-months or less) and leases of low value assets are
recognised as an operating expense 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

reference to the fair value of the equity instruments
i. Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the financial statement of each of the
Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is
AML3D’s functional and presentation currency.
ii. Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the
granted. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and
excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for
example profitability and earnings per share growth targets
and performance conditions).
q. Rounding of Amounts
The parent entity has applied the relief available under
ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Director’s Reports)
Instrument 2016/191. Accordingly, amounts in the financial
statements have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at year end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies, are recognised in the income statement or
deferred in equity if the gain or loss relates to a qualifying
cash flow hedge.
iii. Foreign Operations
The results and financial position of all the foreign
operations that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
a. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet
presented are translated at the closing rate
at the date of that balance sheet;
b. Income and expenses for each income
The Group makes estimates and assumptions in preparing the
financial statements. The resulting accounting estimates will,
by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. This note
provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of
judgement or complexity and of items which are more likely to be
materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions differing to
actual outcomes. The areas involving significant estimates and
assumptions are:
i. Key Estimate – R&D Tax Incentive
Where the Group expects to receive the Australian
Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive,
the Group accounts for the amount refundable on an
accruals basis. In determining the amount of the R&D Tax
Offset Incentive at year end, there is an estimation process
to determine what expenditure will qualify for the incentive.
External advice is sought to provide assurance that the
statement and statement of comprehensive
estimates are reasonable.
income are translated at average exchange rates
(unless this is not a reasonable approximation
of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing
on the transaction dates, in which case income
and expenses are translated at the dates of the
transactions); and
c. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in
other comprehensive income.
n. Inventory
Inventories consists of finished goods, work in progress and
raw materials which are measured at the lower of cost and net
realisable value.
ii. Key Estimate – Lease Term
The lease term is defined as the non-cancellable period
of a lease together with both periods covered by an option
to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise that option; and also periods covered by an option
to terminate the lease where the lessee is reasonably
certain not to exercise that option. 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 likelihood to exercise
on a lease-by-lease basis looking at various factors such as
which assets are strategic and which are key to the future
strategy of the entity.
Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate
portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure.
iii. Key Estimate – Share-based Payments
o. Earnings per Share
Both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been
calculated using the loss attributable to shareholders of the parent
company as the numerator, i.e. no adjustments to loss were
necessary in respect of the reported figures, which is divided by
the weighted average number or ordinary shares outstanding
during the year.
p. Share-based Payments
All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any
share-based payment are measured at their fair values.
Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments,
the fair values of employees’ services are determined indirectly by
36
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment
and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which
option holders become entitled is measured at grant date
and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with
a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair
value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The
fair value of options is ascertained using the Black-Scholes
pricing model, which incorporates all market vesting
conditions. The amount to be expensed is determined by
reference to the fair value of the options or shares granted.
This expense takes in account any market performance
conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions
but ignores the effect of any service and non-market
performance vesting conditions.

considering the number of options expected to vest. At the
end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates
of the number of options which are expected to vest based
on the non-market vesting conditions. Revisions to prior
period estimate are recognised in profit or loss and equity.
Any changes to the estimation are adjusted in the
subsequent financial year.
Fair value of options issued for services from suppliers is
determined with reference to the supplier’s invoice value.

Loss before income tax has been arrived at after charging the

To identify a performance obligation under AASB 15, the
promise must be sufficiently specific to be able to determine
when the obligation is satisfied. Management exercises
judgement to determine whether the promise is sufficiently
specific by taking into account any conditions specified
in the arrangement, explicit or implicit, regarding the
promised goods and services. In making this assessment,
management includes the nature/type, cost/value, quantity
and the period of transfer related to the goods or services
promised.

For the year ended 30 June 2021, an expense has been
recognised during the financial year then ended for the allowance
for expected credit losses of $26,000 (2020: Nil).
a. Financial Risk Management
The Group enters into financial instruments which consist of
deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payables. The totals
for each category of financial instrument is shown in this Note. The
Group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments.
b. Significant Accounting Policies
Details of significant accounting policies and methods adopted,
including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement
and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised,
in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability
and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial
statements.
c. Interest Rate Risk Management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it places funds at
floating interest rates. In the current low interest environment, the
Group is exposed to minimal interest rate risk.
d. Credit Risk Management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its
contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
The Group has adopted a policy of dealing only with creditworthy
counterparties (where such information is available) and obtaining
sufficient collateral (such as up front deposits before commencing
work), as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from
defaults. The Group’s exposure is constantly monitored.
Except for one customer, the Group does not have any significant
credit risk exposure to any one single counterparty or any group
of counterparties having similar characteristics. Sales to that
customer are denominated in Singapore dollars and the Group
has not hedged the receivable.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the
counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
The quality of debtors is monitored by the ageing of open invoices
in accounts receivable. Trade receivables are analysed as follows:
Not impaired
- Within trade terms
- Past due but not impaired
Impaired
- Past due and impaired

Receivables that are past due but not impaired comprise
customers which do not have any objective evidence that the
receivable may be impaired. The Company knows why certain
customers are past due and expects that they will be paid.
47
AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983e. Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may
encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its
obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash
reserves and monitoring its actual and forecast cashflows and
financial obligations. The Group endeavours to pay its creditors
within agreed trade terms.
