AML3D’s US sales AML3D has refocused our growth strategy to place greater emphasis on ARCEMY® system sales, particularly to the US Defence, Aerospace pipeline is strong and growing, with several additional opportunities and Marine sectors, as a driver of revenue growth. During FY23 for ARCEMY® sales having been identified and progressed. The sale of the ARCEMY® X for use at the US Navy’s Danville Centre the Company signed and progressed contracts to sell, install and commission two ARCEMY® systems. The first, in February 2023, was 2 3 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983following a site visit by Chevron Australia during the June quarter. support the European Defence, Aerospace and Marine industries. granting of a European process patent for the Company’s Wire-arc the sale of $1.0 million of a large-scale, industrial ARCEMY® ‘X-Edition 6700’ Wire-arc Additive Manufacturing metal 3D printing system to support the US Navy’s submarine industrial base. The ARCEMY® order has been placed by BlueForge Alliance, a US Department of Defence intermediary supporting the acceleration of advanced manufacturing technologies across the US Defence industrial base. The ARCEMY® X system was shipped to the Oak Ridge national Laboratory in July 2023 for installation and commissioning. A second $1.0 million ARCEMY® system was sold to Curtain University in Perth in June 2023. The medium level enterprise ARCEMY® system will be located in the Curtin additive manufacturing microfactory and will be available for use as a satellite manufacturing facility to demonstrate ARCEMY®’s capabilities to potential customers across Western Australia’s Mining, Agriculture, Oil & Gas and Defence Maritime industries. In addition, AML3D has agree to invest $100,000 a year over three years in an ARCEMY® research and development program at Curtin, with one objective being the development of materials and processes to enhance the ability of ARCEMY® systems to support Defence manufacturing. AML3D also signed a $264,000 alloy characterisation and testing program in March 2023, with further contracts totaling $2.4 million signed subsequent to year end, to support the deployment of the ARCEMY® X unit at the Oak Ridge national Laboratory and demonstrate its capabilities as a manufacturing solution for the US Navy’s submarine industrial base. AML3D’s opportunity to sign additional contracts to support ARCEMY® systems is key to developing recurring revenues from the deployment of the Company’s technology. These recurring revenues will include software licensing and support contracts that are expected to build a long, recurring revenue tail for each ARCEMY® deployment. In April 2023, AML3D signed an 18-month value-added reseller agreement with Phillips Corporation, a leading service provider AML3D’s expanded presence in the global Oil and Gas sector represents an opportunity to target additional, non-US Defence revenues, through ARCEMY® at the point of need sales. AML3D’s contract manufacturing is also supporting the Companies ambitions across the Defence and marine sectors. In October 2022, AML3D signed a purchase contract with BAE Systems Australia, and its subsidiary ASC Shipbuilding, to deliver prototype components to support ASC’s contract to design and build nine Hunter class frigates for the Australian Navy. This purchase contract followed a commercial validation testing program in October 2022. The Company also expanded its presence in the aerospace market with an additional purchase contract signed in September 2022 to produce 3D printed components for the Boeing Company. The initial 3D components order was placed in July of 2022 and followed a site visit by Boeing’s Director of Global Additive Manufacturing in March 2022. AML3D’s relationship with Boeing was established in June 2021 with a 3D printed tooling component order. Medium and longer-term value drivers – Maintaining Technology Leadership Central to AML3D’s refocused growth strategy to accelerate revenue generation through sale of ARCEMY® systems to industrial manufacturers over the medium term is maintaining the Company’s position on the leading edge of advanced additive manufacturing. To support this medium-term ambition AML3D expanded the Companies software development capability with the appointment of three new full time software engineers to develop additional software features to maintain AML3D’s position as a technology leader.

Material Business Risks The Company has continued to develop its technology including the There are a number of material business risks which could affect printing of a range of metal pieces for use in a variety of industries such the Company’s ability to achieve its business strategies as follows. as defence, oil and gas, marine and aerospace. Over 50% of revenue for the year was obtained through key target markets in the United States of America. Financial Results and Position Revenue for the year was $634,422, down 69% on the Prior Corresponding Period (PCP). While orders were received during the year for ARCEMY® systems, revenue will not be recognised until delivery and commissioning in FY24. Revenue for the year was derived from the printing of parts and customer support, with over 50% generated from the key target market of the US. EBITDA was a loss of $4,793,053 (PCP: $4,158,702). Overhead expenses of $5,281,800 were $40,491 lower on PCP with the Company dedicating additional resources to the US scale up. 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 processes such as machining, casting and forging. WAM® is a disruptive technology in traditional manufacturing industries where many potential users of WAM® have existing sunk investments in existing processes. 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. The net loss after tax for the year was $5,436,253 (PCP: $4,897,028) with carried forward tax losses not brought to account. Customer Conversion At the end of the financial year, the Company had $4,533,957 in cash and cash equivalents on hand. During the year $3,642,885 of cash was used in operating activities, down $159,618 on cash consumed during the PCP. Business Strategies and Prospects The Company plans to build on the successes achieved in FY23. The main areas of focus in FY24 will be to: • Pursue global business opportunities, focusing initially on creating customer and industry partnerships in high margin sectors such as defence, oil and gas, and marine; • Build ARCEMY® modules for customers looking to establish in-house 3D printing capability; • Grow recurring revenue through annual software licensing, service and maintenance agreements; • Continue with our research and development activities to refine At present, the Company is at a paid trial stage with a number of potential clients. There can be no guarantee that any of these paid trial customers will convert into regular customer contracts. Although the Company’s client base is expected to diversify as a result of the expansion of the Company’s revenue streams, the Company will initially be substantially reliant on a select number of clients. The loss of any of these clients may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenues and profits unless they can be replaced with new clients. The Company’s future activities are specifically designed around further business development activities in order to grow the client base in Australia, US, and other markets. Reliance on Key Personnel The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management, technical experts and its Directors. The Company has reduced this risk by the appointment of additional technical staff. and broaden our range of products and processes, further Access to Raw Materials 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 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.

Remuneration Policy The Company’s remuneration framework for Directors and senior executives has been designed to remunerate fairly and responsibly, balancing the need to attract and retain key personnel with a prudent approach to management of costs. The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows: Non-Executive Director Remuneration The Board aims to remunerate each Non-executive Director (NED) for their time, commitment and responsibilities at market rates for comparable companies. The Board determines and reviews the level of fees payable to Non-executive Directors annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability and subject to the maximum aggregate amount per annum as approved by shareholders. Fees for Non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group, other than participation in share options (refer to section 8 for share option plans). 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. In addition, Directors are eligible to participate in the Concessional Incentive Option Plan and the Performance Rights and Option Plan, subject to approval by shareholders. Executives Executive remuneration comprises fixed remuneration (salary) and may include short-term and long-term incentive plan components. These are set with reference to the Company’s performance and the market. Fixed remuneration, which reflects the individual’s role and responsibility as well as their experience and skills, includes base pay and statutory superannuation. Remuneration at risk may be provided through short-term and long-term incentive plan components, linked to performance measured against operational and financial targets set by the Company, designed to achieve operational and strategic targets for the sustainable growth of the Company and long-term shareholder value. Short- term or long-term incentive elements for KMP’s are detailed in section 7 of this report. The Board will continue to review The Board approves a letter of appointment setting the remuneration framework during the coming year. 12 13 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983634,422 2,014,828 644,486 288,516 36,057 (4,793,053) (4,158,702) (5,108,666) (3,008,192) (595,966) 6.

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 2023 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. 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 2023 these costs amounted to $729,518. 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 2023 the amount disclosed as a current trade and other receivable in relation to the refund is $171,204. 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. KEY AUDIT MATTER Revenue recognition. Refer also to notes 2(j) and 6. The Group derives income from the following: - 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 revenue recognition model to ensure that — The performance obligations revenue contract are identified; for each — The correct determination of whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time; and — Revenue is only recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied. The application of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers can require judgement, thus we considered this area to be a key audit matter. 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. How our audit addressed it Our audit procedures included: — 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. 24 25 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D 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. 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. 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 including an analysis of committed customer orders; — 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. — Evaluating management’s ability to reduce expenditure if necessary. 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 2023, 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 This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 12 to 21 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of AML3D Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 26 27 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983 Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Unless otherwise year as well as unused tax losses. 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 the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered 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 income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either was obtained (ceased). i. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. A list of subsidiaries is provided in Note 5. 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 ii. Transactions eliminated on consolidation or settled. All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised ii. Goods and Services Tax (GST) income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred 32 33 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these for the current period are as follows: f. Financial Instruments circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. Class of fixed asset Office and Computer equipment Depreciation rate (%) 20 - 33 Plant and Equipment Motor Vehicles 10 - 20 22.5 i. Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, and other comprehensive income. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Leasehold improvements Over the term of the lease that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the Other Financial Assets e. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit • The contractual terms within the financial asset Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating carrying amount is greater than its estimated cash flows included in cash inflows from operations or recoverable amount. 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 Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant 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. 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 prorata 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 is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax probable that the future economic benefits embodied within discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. reliably. Any costs of the day-to-day servicing of plant and For an asset that does not generate largely independent equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit or cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. incurred. iii. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The straight-line depreciation rates used Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 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 asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost: • The financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and • The contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: 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. 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 measured at fair value through profit or loss. 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 The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer’s credit risk is taken to other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contact is discharged, cancelled 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, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, if any, are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. Trade and Other Receivables or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for Receivables are usually settled within 60 days. Receivables a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an reporting period are classified as current assets. All other extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of new receivables are classified as non-current assets. The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment use.

Finance Income and Expenses value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Collectability of trade and other receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Trade and Other Payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which 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 are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are i. Short-term Employee Benefits 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: 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 • Financial assets measured at amortised cost amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that • 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 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 uses the presumption that a financial asset is in default when: the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including related payroll on-costs, such as worker’s compensation insurance and payroll tax. ii. Other Long-Term Employee Benefits 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 A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into • The other party is unlikely to pay its credit a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligations to the Group in full, without recourse obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for to the Group to actions such as realising security contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds (if any is held); or • The financial asset is more than 90 days past due. are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as incurred. iv. Equity-settled Compensation 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 point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account. 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 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 conditions not being met. h. Provisions 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. 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 the transfer of promised goods or service to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to 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 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 obligations in the contract are satisfied. Broadly, these obligations relate to the delivery of software, training and the machine itself. 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 t comprises one operating segment. Further details of the segment reporting are disclosed in Note 28. l. Intangible Assets i. Patents and Trademarks Costs incurred for patents and trademarks are capitalised and amortised over the life of the patent or trademark. The residual value and useful life are reviewed by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the receive in exchange for those goods or services. at each balance date and adjusted if appropriate. not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have amount required to settle the obligation at the end of the Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over occurred are duly considered. reporting period. outlined in ASSB 15 which is as follows: periods ranging from one to five years. 36 37 AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983AML3D Limited // ASX: AL3 // ABN 55 602 857 983ii.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to three years. m. Foreign Currency Translation 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 functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 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 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: 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 reference to the fair value of the equity instruments 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. Research and Development Expenditure Research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are not capitalised as there is uncertainty on whether the costs will provide a future economic benefit to the consolidated group. r. Going Concern $4,533,957 (2022: $2,933,482). The Group expects that cash and cash equivalents, supported by $6m in work in progress and orders recived to the date of this report, in conjunction with stringent controls over the net cash outflows from operating activities will be sufficient to cover ongoing Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive, To identify a performance obligation under AASB 15, the Group accounts for the amount refundable on an the promise must be sufficiently specific to be able to accruals basis.

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 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. to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to 4. New, Revised or Amended Accounting Standards 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. The Group has adopted all the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) which are effective for the current reporting period with no material impact to the financial statements. 5. Interest in Controlled Entities The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries: The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which Name of entity 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.
