Director’s Report

Board Chairman, Sean Ebert

Dear Shareholders,

Financial Results

It is with great pleasure that we present to you 

AML3D Limited’s (‘AML3D’ or the ‘Company’) Annual 

Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

During the year AML3D continued to develop its proprietary technology 

and leverage its advantages to deliver its multi-phase growth strategy. 

This strategy is designed to generate shareholder value over the 

immediate, medium and longer-terms, through the commercialisation 

Revenue for the financial year was $2.0 million, an increase of 

over 200% on the prior year.  The greatest portion of this revenue 

was derived through the sale of AML3D’s proprietary ARCEMY® 

industrial scale 3D metal printing units. In addition, revenue from 

the printing of parts continued to support our performance and 

was up 20% on the prior year. This improved performance reflects 

AML3D’s focus on its immediate and medium-term value drivers.

Flinders University.

•  Completion of printed parts for global customers across our 

target markets of Oil and Gas, Marine, Aerospace, and Mining.

•  Ongoing technology development to further reduce production lead 

times and improve the commercial applications of our process.

During 2022, AML3D initiated validation work to address supply chain 

issues impacting a global Tier 1 Oil and Gas customer.  The validation 

work will leverage the advantages of AML3D’s advanced WAM® 

technology to produce industrial scale, 3D metal printed components.

•  Being approved as a supplier of 3D printed power plant  

parts for a major Australian Energy company.

AML3D is working closely with our customers to support their 

testing and validation of our metal 3D printing technology.

We believe our disruptive technology will transform the metal 

manufacturing and fabrication landscape forever and is the key 

to the future of manufacturing. Within the context of a 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 technology.

AML3D’s proprietary 3D-printing solution offers prompt delivery 

of an array of high-quality, large-scale, custom built components 

to customers at competitive prices. All of this is achieved with 

significantly shorter lead times, less raw material input and 

validation work.  The successful printing and testing of the validation 

components is expected to create the opportunity for AML3D to 

become integral to this global Tier 1 Oil and Gas customer’s supply 

chain, using our WAM® technology.  This enables the Company 

to supply a variety of components within this customer’s existing 

parts library and underpin significant growth in future orders.

AML3D also signed a purchase order as part of the Company’s 

global collaboration agreement to supply an industrial component 

to AdditiveNow for an additional Tier 1 Oil and Gas end customer. 

The purchase order followed a site visit by the end customer 

to inspect AML3D’s facilities and, following testing, this initial 

component will be used to identify a range of suitable parts within 

the end customer’s parts library for supply via 3D metal printing.

including, Thales, RheinMetall, BAE and Northrop Grumman. 

Immediate term value drivers  
– Contract manufacturing

Contract manufacturing is an immediate term value driver for 

AML3D, while also creating entry points to access potential 

medium term value opportunities through the development 

of repeat orders and offering additional services.

During Q2 2022, AML3D accessed a new market when it 

signed its first purchase order with a globally recognised North 

American space exploration company to supply a bespoke 

prototype using a high strength corrosion resistant alloy.   

This order was followed by a purchase contract with a new Defence 

Aerospace customer to deliver a 500kg, four-part aluminium nozzle. 

The Company also signed a purchase contract to produce, what is 

believed to be a world first 3D metal printed, pressure and corrosion 

resistant titanium plunger for a new Oil and Gas customer.

In addition, AML3D is an approved supplier to ThyssenKrupp, 

the German industrial engineering and steel company, and 

received and fulfilled multiple orders during FY2022. 

Our contract manufacturing also completed 3D metal printing 

of a high value impellor for a major Australian Energy company. 

The contract demonstrated AML3D’s unique ability to reduce 

supply chain risk through the dependable and efficient supply of 

on-demand replacement power plant parts. The Company now 

supplies components to two energy sector customers creating an 

important entry point for AML3D into this key target market.

Medium term value drivers – Oil and Gas, Marine, 
Defence, Aerospace and Resource 

We have also progressed our strategy to create medium term value by 

expanding into the Marine, Defence, Aerospace and Resource sectors.  

As part of this initiative, the Company hosted an in-person inspection 

of AML3D’s facilities by the Tier 1 Defence and Aerospace company, 

Boeing’s, Director of Global Additive Manufacturing in March 2022.

These efforts saw AML3D enter into a $140,000 purchase 

agreement with Boeing in July 2022. The agreement covers 

the manufacture of various aluminium test pieces and structural 
components using AML3D’s WAM® technology. The testing and 

validation of the components will form the basis of near-term future 

contracts. The agreement follows an initial purchase contract 

with Boeing for a mandrel tool artifact signed in June 2021.

Lloyd’s register. The 940kg monocoque piping spool demonstrator 

component showcases AML3D’s capabilities in the subsea Oil 

and Gas sector and creates an entry point into this new market. 

Longer term value drivers –  
Research and Development 

Leveraging AML3D’s R&D work to create new opportunities, 
enhanced technology-enabled solutions and branded products is 
the key to unlocking longer-term value in the business. Significant 
progress has been made across several AML3D R&D projects. 

The Optimising of Scandium Containing Aluminium Alloys Project is 
focussed on developing high strength, commercially viable, aluminium-
scandium compounds to create a high strength aluminium welding wire 
to be used in AML3D’s WAM® process. The optimisation of aluminium-
scandium alloys has the potential to allow AML3D’s WAM® process to 
create higher strength, industrial scale, aluminium components and 
3D printed products, while removing the need for age hardening heat 
treatment. The project also has the potential for AML3D to create and 
supply a branded specialist aluminium-scandium wire feedstock product. 

The Optimising of Scandium Containing Aluminium Alloys project is 
being run in partnership with Deakin University’s, Institute for Frontier 
Materials (IFM) and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative 
Research Centre (IMCRC) and has met meet all expectations for 
the delivery of high strength, corrosion resistant structures. 

Following these excellent initial results the Project has been 
extended to incorporate final repeatability commercial trials, 
which is attracting interest from industry buyers. A successful 
conclusion to the commercial trials is expected to lead to new 
applications for WAM® across the Automotive, Resources and 
broader Marine and Transport industries where there is demand 
for high strength, corrosion resistant aluminium products.

AML3D is also working with IFM to complete a series of proof-
of-concept projects exploring the incorporation of Boron Nitride 
Nanotubes (BNNTs) in AML3D’s WAM® technology.  BNNT’s are 
considered the world’s strongest fibres, which have the potential 
to significantly enhance the ability of WAM® deposited alloys to 
create much stronger, lighter, and more thermally and radiation-
resistant aluminium composites. Initial outcomes have been 
positive, and the project has started to attract commercial interest 
in the applications for the BNNT/aluminium composites 

These R&D projects have the potential to significantly enhance 
AML3D’s revenue prospects through increased opportunities in both 
printer sales and contract manufacturing services. They also have the 
potential to create new commercial applications across the space, 
aerospace, marine, defence and transport industries, which could be 
rolled out in AML3D’s current target markets of Asia Pacific (incl. Japan, 
South Korea), Europe (Germany, France & UK), and North America.

Our medium-term value drivers also include expanding the products 

and services we offer to our existing customers. AML3D is using 
3D scanning capabilities in conjunction with its WAM® technology 

to generate a digital virtual inventory library for our major Australian 

Energy customer. This library will be used to reduce the customers 

inventory overheads by allowing the on-demand manufacturing of 

replacement components and also embed AML3D as a primary provider 

of a range of spare parts, underpinning a future orders stream. 

In line with the strategic objective of generating value over the 

AML3D’s internal R&D focus remains firmly on our ‘Next 
Generation’ high productivity ARCEMY® solution. The high 
productivity ARCEMY® units are designed to print at a rate of 
up to 30 kilograms and hour, that’s up to 5 times faster than our 
current Arcemy Units, by making use of twin wire feeds. 

The high productivity ARCEMY® solution is expected to reduce 
production lead times and improve the commercial applications 
of our process. The technology builds on AML3D’s Next-
Generation Hybrid Printing project with the CSIRO, which 
developed a material strength prediction tool, to support the 

medium term, AML3D printed the world’s largest metal Oil & Gas 

creation of a higher quality, one stop production process.

Sustainability

AML3D is committed to developing 
and maintaining sustainable and 
environmentally conscious operations. 
One of the benefits of AML3D’s 
manufacturing process is that it generates 
considerably less waste material than 
traditional casting and machining 
processes. Additive Manufacturing, with 
wire feedstock, has also been shown 
to have a lower carbon foot-print and

Reliance on Key Personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the

Access to Raw Materials

The Company requires access to markets 

for its raw materials including titanium 

alloys, nickel alloys, stainless steel, 

aluminium alloys and bronze alloys in 

order to manufacture components. If 

the Company is unable to secure these 

materials, this would likely have a material

financial performance of the Company.

Accreditation

The growth of AML3D contract

on retaining Lloyd’s Register and ISO

of parts produced for its customers. 

The Company is reliant on the security 

of its network environment, vendor

Independent auditor’s report to members 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of  AML3D Limited (the Company) and its  subsidiary 
(together, the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as 
at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of 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  other  explanatory  information,  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 2022 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 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 (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 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.  

24

AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
KEY AUDIT MATTER 

Research and development expenditure - 
existence and valuation. Refer also to 
notes 3(i) and 12. 

The Group incurs significant amounts of 
research and development costs each year. In 
2022 these costs amounted to $1,559,617. 

Each year the Group makes an assessment as 
to the amount it expects to claim from the 
Australian Government by the way of a 
Research & Development Tax Offset Refund. At 
30 June 2022 the amount disclosed as a current 
trade and other receivable in relation to the 
refund is $462,374. 

Overall due to the high level of judgement 
involved, and the significant carrying amount 
involved, we have determined that this is a key 
audit matter area that our audit concentrated on. 

How our audit addressed it 

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; 

‒  Reviewing  the  historical  accuracy  by  comparing 
the  original 

refunds  with 

actual  Tax  offset 
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. 

The Group derives income from the following: 

How our audit addressed it 

Our audit procedures included:  

-  Sale of the ARCEMY 3D printing module 
-  Contract  manufacturing  for  customers 
using  owned  ARCEMY  3D  printing 
modules 

-  Contract service or technical support for 
customers  using  owned  ARCEMY  3D 
printing modules 

Each  revenue  stream  requires  a  bespoke 
that 
revenue 
revenue is only recognised 

recognition  model 

to  ensure 

—  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. 

—  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; 

—  Examining the existence of revenue by testing both 
the contract and subsequent receipt of invoicing of 
the revenue to the customer; 

—  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 
 
 
 
 
 
KEY AUDIT MATTER 

Liquidity and capital management 
Refer also to note 2(r). 

To  support  the  basis  of  preparation  of  the 
financial  statements,  the  Group  has  prepared  a 
forecast  of  its  cash  flows,  which  includes  a 
number  of  significant  assumptions  about  sales 
and production and estimates of cash outflows. 

The Group has incurred significant losses in the 
current and prior financial year. We also noted a 
significant decline in the net current asset 
position of the Group as at 30 June 2022. As a 
result, our assessment of liquidity and capital 
management as it relates to the basis of 
preparation of the financial statements is 
considered a key audit matter. 

We note that subsequent to 30 June 2022, the 
Group successfully raised $2.85 million from a 
private capital initiative. This has been factored 
into the Group’s cash flow forecast and 
consideration on going concern. 

How our audit addressed it 

We assessed the main assumptions in the Group’s 
cash flow forecast for at least 12 months from the 
date of signing the auditor’s report, by performing the 
following procedures, amongst others: 

—  Evaluating the assumptions used in 
management’s cash flow forecasts; 

—  Compared actual revenue and cost outcomes for 
the prior period and the current year to date to 
Group forecasts; 

—  Ensuring that all committed capital purchases 

and future capital raising initiatives are taken into 
consideration. 

We evaluated the Group’s potential opportunities for 
cash conservation as well as options for raising 
additional funds.  

We also considered the appropriateness of the 
liquidity risk disclosures included within the financial 
statements. 

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 2022, 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.

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 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

stated, these policies have been consistently applied to all  

the years presented.

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 

Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The 

accounting or taxable profit and loss. 

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 

settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the 

consolidated financial statements as well as their results for 

respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets

and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of 

(left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating 

set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to 

results have been included (excluded) from the date control

recoverable amount. 

cash flows included in cash inflows from operations or 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant  

payments to suppliers and employees.  

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.

amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that

contractual cash flows; and 

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.  Trade receivables do not 

contain a significant financing component.  

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 effective interest rate 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 

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, 

derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change 

deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly

Statement of financial position.  

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. 

Trade and Other Receivables  

when the obligation in the contact 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 new 

Receivables are usually settled within 60 days. Receivables

i.  Short-term Employee Benefits 

iii. Impairment of Financial Assets 

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected 

credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets: 

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

•  Financial assets measured at amortised cost 

to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted 

•  Debt investments measured at FVOCI 

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial 

asset has increased significantly since initial recognition 

and when estimating ECL, the Group considers 

reasonable and supportable information that is relevant

the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including 

related payroll on-costs, such as worker’s compensation

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 uses the presumption that a financial asset is in 

default when: 

•  The other party is unlikely to pay its credit

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 

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit 

plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into 

a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive 

obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for 

contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds 

are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit or 

Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as incurred. 

Impairment of trade receivables is determined using the 

iv. Equity-settled Compensation 

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 

point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance 

account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets 

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 

options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market 

is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously

recognised in the allowance account. 

h.  Provisions 

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise 

have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the 

Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets 

by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have 
not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have 

occurred are duly considered. 

iv. Finance Income and Expenses 

Finance income comprises interest income on 

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  

amount required to settle the obligation at the end of the  

reporting period.

AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983i.  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 (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 

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 are recognised at an amount 

equal to the lease liability at the initial date of application, 

adjusted for previously recognised prepaid or accrued 

lease payments. The subsequent measurement of the right 

of use asset 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 an 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. 

j.  Revenue and Other Income 

i.  Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The core principle of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer; 

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
and determine at what point they are satisfied; 

Step 3: Determine the transaction price; 

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance 
obligations; 

Step 5: Recognise revenue as the performance obligations 
are satisfied.  

Following the adoption of AASB 15 the Group’s revenue 
recognition accounting policy is that: 

The Group derives revenue from the sale of 3D printed 
metal structures and the sale or right to use of 3D metal 
printing machines. Revenue from the sale of manufactured 
metal structures and sale of 3D metal printing machines 
is recognised upon delivery to the customer. Revenue 
from right to use 3D metal printing machines is recognised 
once performance milestones in the contract are satisfied. 
Broadly, these milestones relate to the delivery of software, 
training and the machine itself. The customer has the option 
to make a further payment in order to take ownership of  
the machine. 

ii.  Service or Technical Support Contracts

For service or technical support contracts where the 
services provided are substantially the same, for example 
maintenance and technical support, which are transferred 
with the same pattern of consumption over time and whose 
consideration consists of a recurring fixed amount over the 
term of the contract (e.g. monthly or annual payment), in 
such a way that the customer receives and consumes the 
benefits of the services as the Group provides them, the 
revenue recognition model is based on the time elapsed 
output method. Under this method, revenue is recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

iii. Grant Revenue 

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 on a straight-line basis. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST.  

k.  Segment Reporting 

An operating segment is a component of the Group that  
engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues 
and incur expenses. Currently, the Group comprises one operating 

segment. Further details of the segment reporting are disclosed in 

Note 28.

Intangible Assets 

i.  Patents and Trademarks 

Costs incurred for patents and trademarks are

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: 

As at 30 June 2022, the Group had a net asset position of 

$6,631,120 (2021: $11,528,148) and cash and cash equivalents of 

$2,933,482 (2021: $7,200,707).  The decrease in net assets from 

the prior year is the result of the Company continuing with the 

development of its technology whilst building its customer pipeline.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Group  

raised $2,685,000 (before costs) through a placement of 

37,605,038 shares. 

The Group expects that cash and cash equivalents post  

capital raise in conjunction with stringent controls over the net

Moreover, the directors have proactively sought to improved cash

•  continued focus on cost containment in all areas of business.

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

n.  Inventory 

Inventories consists of finished goods, work in progress and 

raw materials which are measured at the lower of cost and net 

As a result of the above matters, the Directors are of the view 

that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and, 

therefore, will realise its assets and liabilities and commitments 

in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in 

the financial statements. The Directors remain confident about 

the successful achievement of projected targets and therefore 

no adjustments have been made to these financial statements

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 

statements.

Fair value of options issued for services from suppliers is 

determined with reference to the supplier’s invoice value.

iv. Key Judgements – Performance obligations relating  

to revenue recognition under AASB 15

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,
