NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

(e) 

(f) 

Basis of Preparation 
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because 
there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements are therefore special 
purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the needs of members. 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies disclosed below 
which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The financial statements have 
been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  are  based  on  historical  costs  unless  otherwise  stated  in  the  notes.  The 
accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of these statements are as follows: 
The  financial  report  has  also  been  prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis.    Cost  is  based  on  the  fair  values  of  the 
consideration given in exchange for assets. 
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 
The Company is an unlisted public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia. The principal activity 
of the company during the period was research and development into 3D metal printers. 

Adoption of new and revised standards 
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards 
In  the  period  ended  30  June  2015,  the  Directors  have  reviewed  all  new  and  revised  standards  and  interpretations 
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.  
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective 
for the period ended 30 June 2015. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, 
material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change 
necessary to Company accounting policies. 

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 
The  application  of  accounting  policies  requires  the  use  of  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 other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results 
may differ from these estimates.  

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period 
in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods. 

Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the 
revenue  can  be  reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  recognition  criteria  must  also  be  met  before  revenue  is 
recognised: 

Interest income 
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial 
asset. 

Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash comprises cash at bank and on hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value.  Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 
within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.  
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly.  An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the 
Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Trade and other receivables (continued) 

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. 
When  a  trade  receivable  for  which  an  impairment  allowance  had  been  recognised  becomes  uncollectible  in  a 
subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written 
off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. 

(g) 

Income tax 

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on 
the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.   
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end 
of the reporting period.  Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in 
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.  It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of 
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered 
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are 
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. 
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: 

  when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a 
transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and  that,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 

  when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in 
joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that 
the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of  unused  tax 
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the 
deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, 
except: 

  when  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  relating  to  the  deductible  temporary  difference  arises  from  the  initial 
recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 

  when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests 
in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the 
temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the 
temporary difference can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it 
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset 
to be utilised. 
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that 
it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured 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 (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance date. 
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. 
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and 
the same taxation authority.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(h) 

Other taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

  when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in 
which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as 
applicable; and 

 

receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or 
payables in the statement of financial position.  Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross 
basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, 
or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. 
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority. 

Impairment of assets 
The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any 
such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of 
the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its 
value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely 
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be 
close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it 
belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or 
cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment 
losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the 
impaired  asset  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  revalued  amount  (in  which  case  the  impairment  loss  is  treated  as  a 
revaluation decrease). 
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised 
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is 
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used 
to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the 
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying 
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset 
in prior periods. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which 
case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in 
future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its 
remaining useful life. 

Trade and other payables 
Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised  costs  and  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services 
provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes 
obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables 
are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. 

Provisions  
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. 
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects 
the risks specific to the liability. 
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

(l) 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

(m)  Going concern 

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the realisation of the future potential 
of the Company’s assets and discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business. 
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of $249,473 and also had net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $249,473 for the period ended 30 June 2015 with cash at bank of $48,133 at 30 June 2015. It is 
noted that since the end of the period the Company has raised $1,231,000 in equity capital which puts the Company in 
a good position to pursue its business activities. 
The  Directors  consider  that  the  Company  is  a  going  concern  however  current  cash  flow  forecasts  indicate  that  the 
Company will need to generate sufficient revenue from its operations or other sources to continue as a going concern. 
As the Company is in the formative stages of its business model there exists circumstances that give rise to a significant 
uncertainty. 
Should the Company be unsuccessful in generating sufficient revenue from operations or additional sources of funding, 
there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the company will able to continue as a going 
concern and be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business. 
Based on the above, the Directors consider the going concern basis appropriate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Aurora Labs Ltd (formerly Aurora Labs Pty Ltd)

Report on the Financial Report

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  special  purpose  financial  report  of  Aurora  Labs  Ltd,  which 
comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 and the statement of profit or loss 
and  comprehensive  income  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.  

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  report  in 
accordance  with  the  accounting  policies  described  in  Note 1(a) to  the  financial  statements  and  for 
such  internal  control  as  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  and  fair 
presentation  of  a  financial  report  that  is  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or 
error.  

Auditor’s responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted 
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply 
with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit  engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in  the  financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment,  including  the 
assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  due  to  fraud  or 
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as 
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the directors or 
management.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our audit opinion. 

Auditor’s opinion 

In our opinion, the financial report of Aurora Labs Ltd:

a) presents fairly, in all material respects the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 

and its performance for the year ended on that date; and

b) complies with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1(a).

Basis of accounting

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a) of the financial report, which describes 
the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared by management to meet the needs 
of the members. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1(m) to the financial 
report which indicates that the Company will need to generate sufficient revenue from its operations 
or other sources to ensure that it can continue to fund its operations during the twelve month period 
from the date of approval of this financial report.

Should  the Company  be  unsuccessful  in  generate  sufficient  revenue  from  operations  or  additional 
funding not be obtained, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether 
the  Company  will  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  and  be  able  to  realise  its  assets  and 
extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.
