Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Review of Operations
During the reporting period there were no significant
changes in the nature of the company’s principal
activities which were focused on the refinement of
technology and fabrication processes’ required to mass
produce a commercial version of the Company’s proven
groundbreaking MEMS (“Micro Electro Mechanical
Structure”) based digital loudspeaker technologies.
Audio Pixels is a world leader in the digital transformation
of sound reproduction; combining the emergence of
a multibillion‑dollar MEMS device industry together
with the multibillion‑dollar loudspeaker market that has
over the course of a century become an indispensable
fixture of daily life throughout a myriad of industries
and applications.
The Company’s primary efforts are to commercialize
its groundbreaking MEMS based digital sound wave
transducer platform into an industry compliant microchip
that will propel audio loudspeakers, systems and
ultrasonic sensors from its century old analog origins into
the advanced digital era of today.
The ongoing commercialization efforts have been
dedicated to evolving the Company’s proven playing
digital loudspeaker prototype technologies into a small
robust semiconductor loudspeaker chip that is ideally
suited for a very wide range of original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) and consumer applications.
The mission undertaken by the Company is analogous
to the transition undergone by the display industry from
analog based cathode ray tube (CRT) technologies into
the modern digital light emitting diodes (LED) based
displays of today. The common thread between both
transitions is that they are no less significant in terms of
scale, volume and complexity. The distinction however is
that while a wide range of multinational conglomerates all
contributed to the advancement of display technologies,
Audio Pixels alone has led the charge toward making
digital sound reconstruction a reality.
Managing the scope, complexity and magnitude of such
an undertaking necessitates careful planning. The company
sought to mitigate the technological and fabrication
risks by establishing a four‑phase program whereby
each phase was independently planned (funded) and
executed to address specific functional and fabrication
challenges. Each phase was designed to resolve particular
challenges while collectively contributing to an end result
of a mass‑manufacturable commercially viable product.
The fourth and final phase of this program, which is
currently entering its latter stages, is somewhat different
as it serves as the final “integration phase”; a development
phase that fuses all the functional and manufacturing
achievements of each prior phase into a working device
produced using mass manufacturing methods.
An important nuance to the fourth phase is that the
integration of a number of independent elements
requires precision coordination between vendors
and activities. The reality of any integration effort is that
any individual interval, more often than not, impacts the
overall integration process and progress. Throughout
the fourth phase management has and continues to
invest enormous efforts trying to navigate the natural
fluctuations associated with producing a groundbreaking
MEMS based technology; the highlights of which are:
MEMS ‑ the MEMS transducer (Micro Electro
Mechanical Structure responsible for generating the
sound waves). Standard semiconductor convention
is often an inadequate representation of the true
behaviour of a specific full structured MEMS device.
Developing devices of our scale and composition
often introduce unexpected variances from the
planned and simulated results. This phenomenon was
quite evident when the batch of fabricated devices
delivered during this reporting period failed to meet a
critical design specification.
MEMS ACTIVITIES‑ During the latter part of the
reporting period the company received and tested
the lead fabrication batch of wafers. These wafers
consisted of fully fabricated MEMS chips prior to
singulation (the process of individually separating
the devices). Initial evaluation results of the
lead wafer batch received showed that specific
electro‑mechanical characteristics of the devices
differed from the design specifications, which
ultimately translated into the need to use higher
operating voltages to actuate and control the
device elements. The Company investigated and
identified the root cause of the deviance and advised
its fabrications partners to make the necessary
corrections as well as implement a very minor change
to the fabrication process which will ensure that
future produced wafers do not deviate from the
required specifications.
Additionally the Company attempted to “salvage”
this batch of wafers by modifying our electronics
systems as to enable the use of higher actuation and
control voltages. While initial results involving the use
of higher voltages were quite encouraging, ultimately
advanced testing revealed that the chips could not adhere
to the required functional specifications when forced to
operate at significantly higher voltages than they were
originally designed.
3
Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 DIRECTOR’S REPORT
The vendors advised us that they should be able to deliver
new batches of wafers that incorporate the design change
on or before May 31, 2017. This was announced to the
market on 25 January 2017.
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
ACTIVITIES ‑ During the reporting period the Company
completed design, fabrication, and testing of its
second‑generation integrated circuit. The proprietary
ASIC which is co‑packaged together with the MEMS
device, serves to convert and control voltages required
by the MEMS transducer. To ensure specification
compliance the Company together with our design
partner (ICSense) conducted extensive detail and
statistical analysis. The Company proceeded to conduct
the process of integrating the ASIC together with the
MEMS; a process that entails implementation, test
and verification of functionality and reliability of the
MEMS chip as it receives and processes each signal,
instruction, and condition as prescribed by the ASIC.
To the extent possible (given the shortcoming of the
MEMS as described above) the Company concluded
the integration process.
Chip Package ‑ The Company is expecting to receive
the first batch of assembled and packaged chips,
within the coming days. Although the MEMS chip
assembled inside the package has been deemed
inoperable (for our current purposes), nonetheless
upon receipt the Company will begin to conduct
various environmental tests to ensure compliance
with various industry standards.
The Company continues to expand it intellectual property
portfolio, submitting 2 additional patent applications
during the reporting period.
Further information concerning the operations and
financial condition of the entity can be found in the
financial report and in releases made to the Australian
Stock Exchange (ASX) during the year.
Changes in State of Affairs
There was no significant change in the state of affairs of
the company or the consolidated entity other than that
referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Significant Events After
Balance Date
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has
arisen since the end of the financial year which is not
otherwise dealt with in this report or in the financial
statements, that has significantly affected or may
significantly affect the operations of the company or the
consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the
state of affairs of the company or the consolidated entity
in subsequent financial years.
Future Developments
The consolidated entity will continue to focus on the
development of its digital speaker technology.
Environmental Regulations
In the opinion of the directors the company and the
consolidated entity is in compliance with all applicable
environmental legislation and regulations.
Indemnification and Insurance
of Officers and Auditors
During the financial year, the company paid a premium in
respect of a contract insuring the Directors and Officers
of the Company and any related body corporate against a
liability incurred as such a Director or Officer to the extent
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract
of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the
coverage provided and the amount of the premium.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the current
Directors, Company Secretary and Executive Officers
against all liabilities to other persons that may arise from
their position as Directors or Officers of the Company
and its controlled entities, except where to do so would
be prohibited by law. The agreement stipulates that the
Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities,
including costs and expenses.
The Company has not, during or since the financial year
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an auditor of the
company or of any related body corporate against any
liability incurred as such an auditor.

Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial
report which has been prepared in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, and complies with other requirements
of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian
equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards (“AASBS”). Compliance with AASBS ensures
that the financial statements and notes comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial
statements, the Company is a for profit entity.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the
Directors on 27 February 2017.
Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the basis
of historical cost, except for the revaluation of the
derivative liability. Cost is based on the fair values of the
consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts
are expressed in Australian dollars.
(a) Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any
difference between the initial recognised amount and the
redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over
the period of the borrowing using the effective interest
rate method.
(b) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going
concern basis which assumes continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss during
the year of $5,054,771 (2015: $1,840,940) and as at
31 December 2016 had net current assets of $239,476
(2015: net current liabilities of $2,231,351). Net cash used
by operating activities was $4,202,570 (2015: $3,330,625).
As at 31 December 2016, the consolidated entity had
cash of $5,083,948 (2015: $1,523,016) of which $52,036
(2015 ‑ $32,841) is restricted as it secures future lease
payments. The cash will become unrestricted once the
contracts are concluded or renegotiated. Further, in the
event that they are not converted to ordinary shares,
the consolidated entity has $3,000,000 due on convertible
notes on 31 December 2017.
In the opinion of the directors, the ability of the company
and consolidated entity to continue as going concerns
and pay their debts as and when they become due and
payable is dependent upon:
the ability of the company to secure additional
funding from existing or new investors to fund
continued development and enable the repayment
of convertible notes to the extent that they are not
converted to ordinary shares. The directors consider
that the company has a number for financing options
available to it at this stage of the commercialisation of
the product;
the completion of the development stage of the
technology; and
the future trading prospects of the consolidated
entity including obtaining commercial contracts.
If the company and the consolidated entity are unable
to achieve successful outcomes in relation to the above
matters, significant uncertainty would exist as to the ability
of the company and the consolidated entity to continue
as going concerns and therefore, they may be required
to realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities other
than in the normal course of business and at amounts
different from those stated in the financial report.
No adjustments have been made to the financial
report relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the company and the consolidated entity not continue as
going concerns.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand,
cash in banks and investments in money market
instruments maturing within less than 3 months at the
date of acquisition, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current
liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.
(d) Employee benefits
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and long
service leave when it is probable that settlement will be
required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
22
Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (Cont.)
(g) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Provisions made in respect of short term employee
benefits are measured at their nominal values using
the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time
of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of long term employee
benefits are measured as the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows to be made by the
consolidated entity in respect of services provided
by employees up to the reporting date.
Defined contribution plans ‑ Contributions to defined
benefit contribution superannuation plans are expensed
when incurred.
(e) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into loans and receivables.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of
the financial assets and is determined at the time of the
initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are
recorded at amortised cost less impairment.
(f) Financial instruments issued by
the company
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either
liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance
of the contractual arrangement.
Transaction costs on the issue of
equity instruments
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity
instruments are recognised directly in equity as a
reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to
which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs
that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of
those equity instruments and which would not have been
incurred had those instruments not been issued.
Interest
Interest is classified as an expense consistent with the
Statement of Financial Position classification of the
related debt.
All foreign currency transactions during the financial
year are brought to account using the exchange rate in
effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency
monetary items at reporting date are translated at the
exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non‑monetary
assets and liabilities carried at fair value and historic cost
that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value
was determined.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit and loss in
the period they arise.
Foreign operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated
entity’s overseas operations are translated at exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items
are translated at the average exchange rates for the period
unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange
differences arising, if any, are recognised in the foreign
currency translation reserve, and recognised in profit and loss
on disposal of the foreign operation.
(h) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item
of expense; or
ii.
for receivables and payables which are recognised
inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows
on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which is
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
classified as operating cash flows.

Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (Cont.)
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised
as an asset at the date that control is acquired
(the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess
of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount
of any non‑controlling interests in the acquiree, and the
fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest
in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition‑date
amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed.
If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair
value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the
sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
non‑controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value
of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in
profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment
at least annually. For the purpose of goodwill impairment
testing, there was one cash‑generating unit, relating
to the digital speakers segment. The cash‑generating
unit is tested for impairment annually. If the recoverable
amount of the cash‑generating unit is less than its
carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to
the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro‑rata
on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the
unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not
reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of
goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or
loss on disposal.
(j) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have
suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order
to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are
independent from other assets, the entity estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash‑generating unit to which
the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash‑generating
unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (cash‑generating unit) is
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses,
the carrying amount of the asset (cash‑generating unit)
is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable
amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset (cash‑generating unit) in
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised
in profit or loss immediately.
(k) Income Tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of
income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated
using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax
for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability
(or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax base
of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for
all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses
and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
differences giving rise to them arise from the initial
recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result
of business combination) which affects neither taxable
income nor accounting profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when
the assets and liability giving rise to them are realised
or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the entity expects, at the reporting date,
to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority and the company intends to settles its current
tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
24
Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (Cont.)
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or
income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items
credited or debited directly to equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or
where it arises from the initial accounting for a business
combination, in which case it is taken into account in the
determination of goodwill or excess.
(l) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in a
business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
are identified and recognised separately from goodwill
where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and
their fair value can be measured reliably. Subsequent to
initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business
combination are reported at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses,
on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
The in‑process development asset acquired is written off
on a straight line basis. Expenditure on research activities is
recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
(m) Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms
of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as
operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Income from operating leases is recognised on a
straight‑line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised on a straight‑line basis
over the lease term.
The Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense
on a straight‑line basis over the lease term, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset
are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating
leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which
they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are
received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are
recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives
is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a
straight‑line basis, except where another systematic basis is
more representative of the time pattern in which economic
benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(n) Payables
Trade payable and other accounts payable are
recognised when the entity becomes obliged to make
future payments resulting from the purchase of goods
and services.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has a present
obligation as a result of a past event, the future sacrifice
of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the
provision can be measured reliably.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to
settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a
third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it
is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the
amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate
of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured
using the cash flows estimated to settle the present
obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of
those cash flows.
(p) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate
the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when
the Company:
Has power over the investee;
Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and
Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control
listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when
the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically,
income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income from the date the Company gains control until the
date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
25
Audio Pixels Holdings Limited ACN 094 384 273Annual Report 2016 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
a derivative liability instrument is recognised at fair value
on issue. The derivative liability is subsequently measured
at fair value through profit or loss.
On initial recognition, the face borrowing or liability
component is measured at fair value. This is subsequently
recognised on an amortised cost basis using the effective
interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at
the instrument’s maturity date.
(s) Revenue Recognition
Revenue comprises interest income on bank deposits.
Interest income received is recognised on an accrual basis.
(t) Application of New and Revised
Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant
to their operations and effective for the current year.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof
and Interpretations effective for the current year that are
relevant to the Group include:
AASB 1057 Application of Australian Accounting
Standards and AASB 2015‑9 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards ‑ Scope and
Application paragraphs.
AASB 2014‑4 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards ‑ Clarification of Acceptable Methods of
Depreciation and Amortisation.
AASB 2015‑1 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards ‑ Annual Improvements to Australian
Accounting Standards 2012‑2014 Cycle.
AASB 2015‑2 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards ‑ Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to
AASB 101.
The application of the above has not had any material
impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated
financial statements.
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (Cont.)
(q) Property, plant and equipment
Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or
valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives, using the straightline method. The estimated
useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are
reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes
in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale
if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only
when the sale is highly probable and the non‑current
asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate
sales in the present condition. Management must be
committed to the sale, which should be expected to
qualify as a completed sale within one year from the date
of classification. Non‑current assets (and disposal groups)
classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their
previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the
calculation of depreciation:
Computers and related equipment
5 to 15 years
Leasehold improvements
Office furniture and equipment
3 to 5 years
5 to 15 years
(r) Financial liabilities
Classification as debt or equity
The company has on issue convertible notes.
The component parts of the convertible notes issued by
the Group are classified separately as borrowings and
derivative liability in accordance with the substance of
the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a
financial liability.
A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange
of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a
fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments
is an equity instrument. A conversion option that will
be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash
or another financial asset for a variable number of the
Company’s own equity instruments is a derivative liability
instrument. The value of a conversion option classified as

The directors are still assessing the impact of AASB 15 and AASB 16. The directors anticipate that the adoption of all other
Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material financial impact on the financial statements of the
company or the consolidated entity but may change disclosures made.
(u) Share based payments
Equity‑settled share‑based payments are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. Fair value is measured by use of
a Black‑Scholes Option Pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management
best estimates, for the effects of non‑transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The fair value
determined at the grant date of the equity‑settled share based payments is expensed on a straight‑line basis over the
vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies (Cont.)
(v) Critical accounting judgements
In the application of the consolidated entity’s accounting
policies, management is required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstance, the results of which form the basis of
making these judgements. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is
revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the
future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Intangible asset/Goodwill
The directors made a critical judgement in relation to the
value of the intangible asset included in Note 8 and the
impairment model used in accessing the carrying amount
of the goodwill (see Note 7).
Deferred tax
The directors made a critical judgement in relation to
not recognising the deferred tax balances described
in Note 3(b). Given the current stage of development,
the directors do not currently consider it’s probable that
sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Valuation of derivative liability
The directors made a critical judgement in relation to the
expected share price volatility used to value the derivative
liability included in Note 11.
Functional Currency
The directors made a critical judgement in relation to
the functional currency of Audio Pixels Holdings Limited.
The directors consider AUD to be the appropriate
functional currency, as financing activities of the entity
occur in AUD.
Investment in subsidiary and intercompany receivable
The directors made a critical judgement in relation to
the recoverability of the investment in subsidiary ‑ Audio
Pixels Limited and the receivable from this subsidiary.
The assessment of the recoverability of these assets is
considered concurrently with the recoverability of the
intangible asset/goodwill. These assets are discussed in
Note 23 as part of current and non‑current assets:
Investment in subsidiary ‑ $2,428,209
(non‑current assets)
Intercompany receivable ‑ $21,745,172
(included in current assets)

The recoverable amount of this cash generating unit is determined based on a fair value less costs of disposal calculation
which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the directors covering an 14 year period,
with a growth rate reflecting the expected future growth in the product market, and a discount rate of 24% per annum.
The assumed growth rate is based on the forecast future global MEMS market. Given the nature of the product, the forecast
cash flows are managements’ best estimate and reflect the risks inherent in the initial take up of the product. The cash flow
projections used in the impairment model extend beyond 5 years as the intangible assets generating the cash flows within
relate to new technology and hence reflect a longer operating cycle and time to market. Cash flow projections during
the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation during the budget
period and factor in a probability of the viability of the product. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is sensitive
to changes in the percentage likelihood of completion. Increases in the percentage likelihood of completion increases the
recoverable amount and vice versa. Movements in the value of the goodwill are a result of the retranslation of the goodwill
from the functional currency of the cash generating unit to which it is attributed.
8. Intangible Asset
Being the independent valuation of In Process Development determined at the
acquisition date of 24 September 2010 by Ernst & Young, Israel in their report

11. Borrowings
On 4 May 2015, the Company announced its intention to issue two convertible notes of $1,500,000 each at a coupon rate
of 8% per annum, raising $3,000,000.
One convertible note was issued to an unrelated party on 28 May 2015 and one convertible note was issued to
4F Investments Pty Limited, a company associated with Mr Fred Bart. The convertible note to 4F Investments Pty
Limited received shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 22 June 2015 and was issued on
26 June 2015.
The unrelated party holding one convertible note of $1,500,000 agreed to extend their convertible note to
31 December 2016 on 22 March 2016. On 31 May 2016 shareholders approved the extension of the convertible note to
4F Investments Pty Limited to 31 December 2016.
On 28 December 2016, the Company reached agreement with both holders of the convertible notes to extend the
expiry date by 12 months to 31 December 2017. Shareholder approval for the extension of the convertible note held by
4F Investments Pty Limited will be sought at the next general meeting of the Company. For accounting purposes these
extensions have been treated as the derecognition of the original convertible notes and the recognition of two new
convertible note instruments. The difference in valuation is recognised as a gain or loss in the profit and loss.
The two convertible notes have a term of 12 months to 31 December 2017, are unsecured, not listed and are convertible
to ordinary shares based on the lower of the five day volume weighted average share price of Audio Pixels Holdings
Limited on the date of the agreement ($9.68) or the five day volume weighted average share price of Audio Pixels
Holdings Limited immediately prior to conversion.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
20. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, borrowings, derivative liabilities,
cash and short term deposits.
Due to the small size of the group significant risk management decisions are taken by the board of directors. These risks
include market risk (including fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Directors do not plan to eliminate risk altogether, rather they plan to identify and respond to risks in a way that
creates value for the company and its shareholders. Directors and shareholders appreciate that in order for the consolidated
entity to compete and grow, a long term strategy needs to involve risk taking for reward.
The consolidated entity does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures.
Risk Exposures and Responses
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the consolidated entity’s cash holdings and short term deposits.
At balance date, the consolidated entity had the following mix of financial assets exposed to Australian interest rate risk that are
not designated in cash flow hedges:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
31 December
2016
$
31 December
2015
$
5,083,948
1,523,016
The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of
existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.
At 31 December 2016, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant,
post tax (loss) and equity would have been affected as follows:

The movements in profits are due to higher/lower interest rates on cash and cash equivalents balances. The cash and cash
equivalents balances were higher in December 2016 than in December 2015 and accordingly the sensitivity is higher.

(b) Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity has a foreign currency risk since the acquisition of Audio Pixels Limited. Audio Pixels Limited
operates in Israel and all transfer of funds to Audio Pixels Limited are denominated in US dollars. The consolidated entity
does not hedge its US dollar exposure.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency (US$) denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the
end of the reporting period are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other payables

At 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all
other variables held constant, post tax loss and equity would have been affected as follows:

Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of risk exposure inherent in financial instruments.
(c) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to
the Group. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties which are
continuously monitored.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are major banks with high credit‑ratings assigned by
international credit agencies.

20. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (Cont.)
(d) Liquidity risk management
The consolidated entity’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The consolidated entity’s investments in money market instruments all have a
maturity of less than 3 months.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate risk
management framework for the management of the consolidated entity’s short, medium and long term funding and liquidity
requirements. The consolidated entity manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows and managing maturity profiles of financial assets.
The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its non‑derivative financial assets and
non‑derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities of the
financial assets and financial liabilities including interest that will be earned on these assets except where the consolidated
entity anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different period.

All financial liabilities are expected to be settled under commercial terms of within 12 months. The derivative liability
amount if converted will be settled in equity, so no associated cash outflows.
(e) Commodity price risk
The consolidated entity has no exposure to commodity price risk.
(f) Other price risks
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the
financial statements approximate their fair values.

21. Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments
This note provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities
The convertible note derivative liability is valued as sold call options with a strike price of $9.68 using the Black‑Scholes
option pricing model. An input into the Black‑Scholes option pricing model is the expected share price volatility over
the remaining term of the options. The expected share price volatility used in the option valuation at reporting date was
76.56% which was based on historical share price volatility.
The fair value of the derivative liability is sensitive to changes in share price volatility. Increases in volatility increase the fair
value of the derivative liability and vice versa.
The fair value hierarchy was Level 3. A movement schedule is included in Note 11.
22. Subsequent Events
The Directors are not aware of any significant events since the end of the financial year and up to the date of this report.
