Chairman’s Report
On behalf of the Carnegie Clean Energy team and my fellow Board members, I am pleased to
have the opportunity to report on the events of this year including our combined efforts to
recapitalise the business since Carnegie went into voluntary administration in March. I would
also like to provide some insights on the new Carnegie and what we plan to accomplish over
the coming year.
In last year’s Annual Report, Carnegie had already made clear its intentions to divest EMC.
During the first part of this year, Carnegie progressed diligently towards a divestment of the
EMC Business to MPower Limited (formerly TAG Pacific Limited). However, on 30 November
2018, the agreement to divest the EMC Business was terminated. Management and the
Board continued to look for a viable EMC sale and other funding and diversification options.
Unfortunately, these engagements did not progress to a level of confidence sufficient to
resolve the remaining challenges around EMC. So, on 14 March 2019, the Company appointed Richard Tucker and John Bumbak
of KordaMentha Restructuring as voluntary administrators of the Company and certain subsidiaries, including EMC.
TERRY STINSON
Chairman
Rebooting and relisting the business has been our primary objective since the business entered voluntary administration in March.
During this time the Board and management have conducted a comprehensive strategic and technical review of the business. A
new business strategy and plan was developed and presented to shareholders as part of the Recapitalisation Proposal outlined in
the Prospectus dated 31 July 2019. This Recapitalisation Proposal was presented by CEO, Jonathan Fiévez and fellow board
member, Grant Mooney, to our shareholders and potential investors via a town hall meeting and webinar on 19 August 2019. The
Prospectus outlined Carnegie’s plan for the next two years and highlighted the key milestones of the new digital development
pathway that when achieved should demonstrate progress on the path to future wave energy technical and commercial success.
To be clear, to realise Carnegie’s full potential will take longer than two years. However, achieving the milestones highlighted in
the Recapitalisation Proposal will demonstrate to our funding and technology partners, to future customers, and hopefully to our
shareholders, that we are on the right track and have the potential to create significant shareholder value from the CETO
technology. We continue to believe that our CETO technology, as part of the emerging wave energy industry, can be a major
contributor to the reduction in harmful emissions and contribute to a cleaner world for generations to come.
I am pleased to report that Carnegie has achieved the minimum subscription amount of $5.5 million dollars required to fulfil
obligations outlined under the Prospectus. The funds received were predominately from existing shareholders, combined with
funds from new third-party investors. On behalf of the Board and the whole team, to all those who invested in Carnegie’s recent
capital raise, please accept our thanks for your continued support and for your confidence in the team and the wave energy
opportunity. Carnegie can now begin to rebuild and restart our efforts to create future shareholder value through wave energy
related activities.
Carnegie’s strategy, as outlined in the Prospectus, builds on the ten years plus of Carnegie’s investment in intellectual property
(IP) and know-how and is focused on deriving future revenue from related licensing and royalties. This new plan to commercialise
avoids the previous need for Carnegie shareholders to fully or substantially fund large capital infrastructure projects to
demonstrate wave energy technical feasibility. Carnegie will still seek to utilise appropriate Government funding to support the
development and commercialisation of the CETO technology.
The new digital development pathway will use advanced analytical models that have already been developed within the company
and new modelling capabilities developed over the next two years. The new IP and knowhow that will be created, combined with
the existing IP, will be the keys to creating future shareholder value and to securing one or more significant large scale industry
partners or OEMs to support and finance a physical CETO build, once the system and hardware are designed and proven through
Carnegie’s advanced modelling and in-house test and validation processes.
The new Carnegie has a much simplified and easy to manage balance sheet with a more efficient commercialisation and technical
development model facilitated by a lower cost digital development pathway. The result should be significantly lower operational
costs and, more importantly, far less capital cost required to achieve the same goal. The goal being a commercially successful
large-scale deployment of the CETO technology within the next 3 to 5 years. The business has approximately $4.5m in cash upon
reinstatement to ASX, which under the new operating model is projected to last well into 2021. During that time, the team will
be working on additional sources of non-debt funding and working hard to avoid the need to come back to shareholders for further
funds, however, to be transparent, future shareholder funding may be required to realise our full and longer-term potential.
iv
CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY
Carnegie has also retained the Garden Island Microgrid facility which is now a revenue generating asset. The Garden Island asset
can also be used to offset the requirement for new funding or be used to reduce debt as required.
The business has experienced a very significant cultural reset, which is to be expected considering the past twelve months and the
road into, and emergence from administration. Reflecting on the past two years and the process of coming back from the brink
has served to teach us painful but important lessons that are not soon forgotten. The board members and key staff have used
this learning to bring the business back from administration as we believe in Carnegie and in wave energy. Through this process
the Board and the team have become even more invested and have proven that they are committed to Carnegie’s ultimate
success. Anthony Shields, a long time Carnegie supporter and long-time shareholder joins as a new non-executive director and
welcome team member. Jonathan Fiévez is also recognised having provided critical leadership and guidance as we developed a
plan to achieve future success and bring the company back from administration to be reinstated on the ASX. The Board has
confidence and fully support Jonathan and believe in his leadership, technical abilities and the team he has built to deliver on the
goals and objectives set-out for the business.
Carnegie’s culture change extends to how we will do business in the future, where the business will live and how carefully we will
spend shareholder funds. The goal is to continuously strive to achieve more for less. Jonathan’s new team is much smaller and
now focused solely on CETO, related wave energy technologies and development of commercial strategies to deliver future
revenues and shareholder value. Building on this new more frugal and efficient culture, the team will need to have a laser focus
on delivering the key milestones presented in the two-year Recapitalisation Proposal. This frugality will also extend to corporate
spending. For example, the Board will remain small and each board member will be taking an increasingly active role in the
governance and guidance of the business. As an example of this frugality, you’ll notice that this annual report is simplified with
more basic graphic design, images and binding. These types of publications cost a lot of money and the shareholder funds are
better spent on technical development and on customer marketing materials.
As I have communicated to many of you over the past year, the Board and management are committed to keeping shareholders
informed of our progress against the milestones presented in the Recapitalisation Proposal, this will include both the good news
and the bad news, the achievements and the set-backs.
There is much to do over the coming year, and we are fortunate and privileged to be able to restart the Carnegie Clean Energy
business and extend gratitude again to our long term and new shareholders who invested and helped make this rebirth possible.
The Board has the responsibility to ensure that these new shareholder funds are spent wisely and effectively, and we take this
responsibility seriously. I look forward to the coming year and to presenting Carnegie’s progress and future prospects at the
upcoming AGM and in subsequent communications and shareholder meetings.

Company Overview
Carnegie is an Australian incorporated ASX-listed 100% owner and developer of the CETO wave energy technology intellectual
property (CETO Technology) which converts ocean wave energy into zero-emission electricity. From 2008 to 2016, Carnegie’s
sole focus was on developing the CETO Technology, pursuant to which the team was dedicated to advancing the CETO
Technology and developing site applications both in Australia and internationally. This period culminated in the deployment of
the 5th generation of the CETO Technology (being the CETO 5 Units) at Garden Island in Western Australia.
In April 2016, Carnegie commenced a diversification of its business with an acquisition of a 35% interest in Energy Made Clean Pty
Ltd (EMC Co), the holder of the assets and undertakings comprising the EMC Business. In December 2016, Carnegie increased its
investment to 100% ownership of EMC Co. Carnegie was unable to achieve the desired level of financial performance from the
EMC Business due to a combination of factors, including EMC Co’s array of challenging projects, onerous joint venture
arrangements and legacy contracts.
On 14 March 2019, the Company appointed Richard Tucker and John Bumbak of KordaMentha Restructuring as voluntary
administrators of the Company and certain subsidiaries, including EMC. Mooney & Partners (a Shareholder associated with Non-
Executive Director, Mr Grant Mooney) and Asymmetric Credit Partners Pty Ltd (a secured creditor of the Company holding CCE
Notes associated with Proposed Director, Mr Anthony Shields) presented the Administrators with a proposal to restructure and
recapitalise Carnegie to return to being a wave energy business through a deed of company arrangement. At Carnegie’s second
meeting of creditors held on 17 April 2019, creditors resolved in favour of the deed of company arrangement. At EMC’s second
meeting of creditors held on 17 April 2019, creditors voted to put EMC into liquidation.
Carnegie released a Prospectus on 31 July 2019 outlining its new business strategy and plans and detailing the Entitlement Offer
and other Offers that formed part of Carnegie’s Recapitalisation. On 23 September 2019 Carnegie announced the successful
completion of the capital raising, which raised the required $5.5 million to enable Carnegie to re-emerge from administration.
Review of Operations
CETO Wave Energy Technology
During much of the year, Carnegie’s wave energy team was working to advance the design of the CETO 6 unit, illustrated
below, and conducting site development activities in Albany as part of the Albany Wave Energy Project (AWEP), with a view
to offshore installation of a CETO Unit and associated onshore infrastructure.
Illustration of the CETO Unit
The AWEP formally commenced in 2017 with support from the State of Western Australia through the Department of Primary
Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Renewable Energy
Agency (ARENA). Following a series of events beginning with proposed changes to the R&D tax incentive scheme, DPIRD
vi
CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY
introduced a requirement for Carnegie to provide evidence that it was financially capable of delivering the project and had
the expertise and operational capacity to carry out the AWEP. The information provided by Carnegie specifically relevant to
its financial capability to fund the project did not satisfy DPIRD, leading to termination of the funding agreement with DPIRD
in March 2019 and the DPIRD funding being withdrawn. Carnegie’s inability to satisfy the funding requirement was primarily
due to the unsatisfactory financial performance of the EMC Business, coupled with difficulties in obtaining additional capital.
As a result of the withdrawal of the DPIRD funding, the Company has no current intention to proceed with AWEP. However,
the Company continues to collaborate with the Wave Energy Research Centre at Albany and intends to maintain its licence in
good standing. If the Company successfully implements its business strategy and successfully develops a commercial
prototype CETO Unit, the Company and/or customers and partners may reconsider the Albany site for commercial
deployment (in conjunction with other possible sites) due to the favourable conditions in Albany.
Throughout the year, regardless of political and financial challenges, Carnegie’s wave team have continued diligently
working on the development of the CETO technology. Carnegie continued strengthening its collaborative relationship with
Enel Green Power (EGP) throughout the year including hosting EGP in Perth and being invited to present at Enel’s internal
marine energy conference in Italy.
Following the decision not to proceed with the Albany Wave Energy Project, the team focus shifted from delivering a CETO
6 Unit at Albany to focusing on the best way to deliver on the company’s long-term objectives for delivering the CETO
technology. This has included identifying and pursuing the key innovation and development opportunities outlined as part
of the digital development pathway in the Recapitalisation Proposal. The team is already actively progressing along this new
pathway. For instance, the Machine Learning work outlined in the Recapitalisation Proposal is already advancing well and is
already providing promising results as was demonstrated in the August webinar and town hall meetings.
Following completion of the Recapitalisation Proposal, Carnegie will pursue its revised business strategy focusing on undertaking
concentrated research and development activities to optimise the CETO Unit design, by applying machine learning (artificial
intelligence), new low-cost electrical generators, optimised system configuration and modern hydrodynamic approaches. The new
approach being undertaken is outlined further in the Future Business Strategy and Plans Section.
Garden Island Microgrid (GIMG)
During the year, Carnegie completed the commissioning of its 2MW solar PV installation and 2MW/0.5MWh battery energy
storage system constructed by EMC and which is the subject to an arrangement with the Department of Defence (DoD). The
GIMG is located at Fleet Base West/HMAS Stirling and operates under a 15-year agreement with the DoD for the supply of
electricity to HMAS Stirling. The first period concludes in May 2022 but may be extended by two further option terms of five
years each. A water supply agreement is also in place to facilitate water sales from the associated desalination plant that is
co-located with the solar-battery system.
The GIMG received the Approval to Operate from Western Power in late June 2019 and in late July received final sign-off
from DoD and commenced operations.
Garden Island Microgrid
Northam Solar Farm
In early 2019, the Northam Solar Farm received approval to operate from Western Power and commenced operating
and exporting to the grid. During the year, Carnegie also completed a partial sale of its interest in the Northam Solar
Farm to Indigenous Business Australia. As part of the administration process, Carnegie’s remaining interest in the
Northam Solar Farm will not carry forward to the recapitalised Carnegie and the proceeds from the sale of Carnegie’s
CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY
vii
interest will be received into the Creditor’s Trust.
EMC
During the year, the EMC business was focused on delivering key projects such as the Northam Solar Farm, Delamere Microgrid
and Garden Island Microgrid and progressed several other projects through its Joint Venture with Lendlease.
Carnegie was unable to achieve the desired level of financial performance from the EMC Business due to a combination of factors,
including EMC Co’s array of challenging projects, onerous joint venture arrangements and legacy contracts. The financial
performance of the EMC Business consumed capital that could have been utilised in pursuing the development of the CETO
Technology. As such, during 2018, Carnegie progressed towards a divestment of the EMC Business to MPower Limited (formerly
TAG Pacific Limited). However, on 30 November 2018, the agreement to divest the EMC Business was terminated following the
counterparty not satisfying key conditions to the transaction.
Carnegie continued in its efforts to dispose of the EMC Business. Prior to the appointment of the Administrators in March 2019,
Carnegie had been conducting a sale process for the EMC Business and held discussions with potential acquirers but had not
received any firm proposals. The failure of the EMC Business to deliver profits and the incidence of losses on a number of key
projects forced Carnegie to consider seeking further capital from shareholders and the investment market in order to fund its
overall business operations and corporate overheads.
On 14 March 2019, the Company appointed Richard Tucker and John Bumbak of KordaMentha Restructuring (Administrators) as
voluntary administrators of the Company and certain subsidiaries, including EMC Co. At the meeting of EMC Creditors on 17 April
2019, EMC was placed into liquidation. Accordingly, EMC is currently in liquidation and will no longer form part of Carnegie.
Future Business Strategy and Plans
Carnegie is returning to its pure focus on wave energy and is now pursuing a revised business strategy focusing on:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
undertaking concentrated research and development activities to optimise the CETO Unit design, by applying machine
learning (artificial intelligence), new low-cost electrical generators, optimised system configuration and modern
hydrodynamic approaches;
within the next 18 months, constructing a complete virtual prototype CETO Unit incorporating the design improvements
detailed below;
over the next two years, pursuing a partnership with an OEM or other commercial partners to contribute funding and
expertise to decrease the costs of producing CETO Units to a competitive level and increase market opportunities in the
long term;
in the next two to three years, identify and engage with utility scale partners to construct and/or utilise CETO Units on a
commercial scale; and
ultimately generating shareholder value through royalty or license agreements in respect to the CETO Technology.
CETO Development
Building upon the significant intellectual property accrued to date, Carnegie will continue to pursue the development of the CETO
Technology along the following streams:
a)
improvement in yield and reduction of costs using artificial intelligence and, more specifically, machine learning
techniques;
b) electrification of the PTO generation system and enhancement of the associated rotary translation system, which
converts the linear motion of the buoy into rotary motion suitable for an electrical generator;
c) enhancement of the computational models and linking them into a complete virtual prototype whereby the full system
can be near-realistically simulated under most, if not all scenarios;
d) electric PTO subsystem testing and wave tank testing of the technology;
e) seek partnerships with industry participants, capable of improving efficiencies in key components such as the foundation
f)
and mooring systems; and
collaboration with a development partner or technology licensee to prepare the next deployment site, probably either
in Australia or in Europe, to demonstrate the new generation of the CETO Unit.
Carnegie will seek to further develop some innovations that recently became more tangible. These include the use of machine
learning (a subset of artificial intelligence), advanced electrical generators derived from the electric vehicle sector and adaptive
hydrodynamic techniques. The Company will seek to integrate these innovations into the CETO Technology with an aim to reducing
viii
CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY
project and technology costs and increasing power production - to achieve the benefits of reducing the capital demands of a
demonstration project and creating a more competitive product. The latter part is critical to ensure the CETO Unit has the potential
to follow the deployment rates of the successful offshore wind industry that has more than 22,000 MW of deployed capacity and
deployed approximately 5,000 MW in 2018. Within the next 18 months, Carnegie seeks to deliver an improved CETO 6 Unit design,
integrating these innovations and demonstrating performance improvement.
Within the next two years, Carnegie intends to pursue a partnership with a large OEM to contribute funding and expertise to
decrease the costs of producing CETO Units to a competitive level and increase market opportunities in the long term. Carnegie
aims to mitigate the capital demands on Carnegie with respect to the development and commercialisation of the CETO Technology
through such partnerships.
In the medium to long term and subject to the delivery of the virtual CETO prototype, Carnegie will seek to derive value from CETO
Technology by entering into license fee or royalty arrangements in respect of the CETO Technology. Carnegie will also seek out
partners to construct and/or utilise CETO Units on a commercial scale.
Targeted CETO development pathway
Carnegie will also continue to seek relationships with key industry participants who have assisted in the CETO Technology
development. The Company will seek to utilise collaboration alliances with CSIRO / Pawsey, University of Western Australia, Enel
Green Power and the University of Edinburgh to assist in the development of the CETO Technology. Carnegie has continued
collaborating with Enel Green Power since the end of the Financial Year and will seek to further strengthen its collaboration with
Enel over the coming year. Enel Green Power has demonstrated a keen interest in the wave energy sector and are likely to have
a significant role to play in the industry in the coming years. Additionally, Carnegie has been consulting to various marine energy
proponents and will continue to seek to develop this potential income stream.
“Stable, predictable and always available: marine energy has enormous potential distributed evenly around
the world. Enel Green Power continues to explore the marine energy sector in search of effective, competitive
and scalable technologies to transform tides and waves into sustainable energy”
-
Antonio Cammisecra, CEO of Enel Green Power
CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY
ix
Garden Island Microgrid (GIMG)
Carnegie will also continue operating the Garden Island Microgrid with an aim to provide power sales revenue and strengthen the
value of the asset. Electricity and water supply agreements with the DoD are in place to allow the sale of power and water from
the solar-battery and desalination systems owned by Carnegie. GIMG retains the facility to connect future wave energy device
output and facilitate the sale of the power generated.
To strengthen the asset value and maximise profit, Carnegie will pursue extension of the relevant supply agreements, reduction
in operation and maintenance costs, and optimisation of the operation of the battery system.
Other Assets
Carnegie retains offshore lease areas and infrastructure off Garden Island (the site of the previous Perth Wave Energy Project)
and Carnegie’s corporate office and research facility in North Fremantle. Carnegie will continue to maintain these sites for both
its own testing and development purposes as well as for collaborations with industry partners who are seeking to test and
demonstrate either relevant enabling technologies or other wave energy converters.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

OPERATING RESULTS
The consolidated loss of the Consolidated Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 was $51,930,513
(2018: consolidated loss $63,349,694).
DIVIDENDS
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. No dividends
were paid during the financial year.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year, the Consolidated Group took significant steps to advance and restructure its business including:
CETO Wave Energy Technology
• Carnegie achieved its first milestone under the €1 million Enel Green Power Collaboration Agreement and
received the associated milestone payment on 2 January 2019.
•
• Carnegie continued to progress the development of the CETO 6 technology, including advancing major
innovation opportunities which have potential to improve the performance of CETO through greater energy
capture, more efficient conversion into electricity, higher system reliability, and reduction in cost.
In October, Carnegie received a $2.625 million milestone payment from the WA State Government as part of
a variation to the first $5.25 million AWEP project milestone. The Company was requested to provide a plan
to WA State Government concerning its ability to fund the balance of the project expenditures. The funding
plan was submitted subsequent to 31 December 2018. On 12 March 2019, the State Government of Western
Australia terminated the Albany Funding Agreement.
• Garden Island Microgrid was completed. Commissioning occurred subsequent to the end of the financial
year.
• The Company adopted a less capital-intensive digital development approach that will seek to leverage on
advances in machine learning (a subset of artificial intelligence) and computational power. Leveraging
advancing and accepted computational design tools, the Company going forward would utilise the acquired
knowledge of its staff and seek to build a digital prototype of an improved, more competitive CETO Unit.
Carnegie’s revised approach would seek to integrate elements of machine learning, advanced electrical
machines and advanced hydrodynamics into the prototype, with an aim of bringing the CETO Unit power
production costs down the cost curve far more rapidly than incremental in-sea deployments. Carnegie will
seek to validate the prototype by small scale testing in order to accurately demonstrate the performance,
behaviour and cost of the full-scale design and thereby providing the Company with sufficient evidence to
present a business case to existing collaborators and/or new partners.
Energy Made Clean (EMC)
• The Northam Solar Farm commenced exporting power to the grid and received Approval to Operate from
Western Power. In addition, the solar and battery microgrid at the Delamere Air Weapons Range in the
Northern Territory of Australia achieved Practical Completion. The Company sold a further 38.7% interest in
the project to partner Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) retaining a remaining 11.3% interest in the project.
The remaining interest was sold post year end.
• Carnegie and Tag Pacific Limited (Tag) terminated the Sale and Purchase Agreement executed in June 2018
for the sale of EMC.
• On 14 March 2019 EMC was placed into voluntary administration. After holding meetings with creditors, the
Administrators are taking steps to liquidate EMC.

following the resignation of Dr Michael Ottaviano as Managing Director.
• Non-Executive Director Mr Mark Woodall retired as a Director of Carnegie at the Annual General Meeting on

In November 2018, Carnegie implemented a $2 million unsecured finance facility to provide funding for
operations. The facility has been provided by HFM Investments Pty Ltd, a company controlled by director Mr
Michael Fitzpatrick. Prior to the Company entering administration, $1.15 million was drawn on the facility.
• On 14 March 2019, the Directors placed the Company and its subsidiaries EMC Co Pty Ltd, Energy Made
Clean Pty Ltd and EMC Engineering Australia Pty Ltd into voluntary administration.
• On 17 March 2019, a Funding Agreement was entered into with Mooney & Partners Pty Ltd and Asymmetric
Credit Partners Pty Ltd (Funding Parties) to facilitate a recapitalisation of the Company by providing funding
of $500,000 to meet costs during the recapitalisation process.
• On 17 April 2019, creditors unanimously accepted a restructuring plan to recapitalise the Company and relist
on the Australian Securities Exchange. The plan, outlined in a Deed of Company Arrangement (DoCA),
provided for a recapitalisation of the Company, a restructure of its statement of financial position and a
readmission to quotation on the ASX following a capital raising.
• On 15 May 2019, the Administrators announced that Carnegie executed the DoCA with the Funding Parties.
This followed the unanimous creditor support received for the DoCA at a meeting of creditors held on 17 April
2019.
• The DoCA (once complete) extinguishes certain pre-administration creditor claims and converts a proportion
of Carnegie's debt to equity, with a portion of residual debt being restructured and carrying over to the
recapitalised Carnegie in the form of new convertible notes maturing in 2021.
• Pursuant to the DoCA, Carnegie would lodge a prospectus to complete a capital raising of not less than $5
million. Of the funds raised, up to $1.4 million is to be contributed towards the DoCA for the costs of the
administration, priority (employee) creditors in full (100c/$) and Participating Creditors up to 10c/$. Upon
completion of the DoCA, Mr Anthony Shields would join the board as a Non-Executive Director.

The net assets of the Consolidated Group decreased by $51.84 million from $61.23 million to $9.39 million as at 30
June 2019. This is predominantly the result of a $37.9 million impairment of the CETO and Garden Island Microgrid
assets and $8.95 million write-off of Energy Made Clean Pty Ltd and related subsidiaries and related assets, and
an increase in short term borrowings of $1.65 million.

quotation on ASX and return its focus to development and commercialisation of its leading CETO wave energy
technology.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited and
other Key Management Personnel (KMP) being the Chief Executive Officer.
REMUNERATION POLICY
The remuneration policy of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited has been designed to align KMP objectives with
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-
term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Consolidated Group’s financial results. The Board
of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to
attract and retain the best KMP to run and manage the Consolidated Group, as well as create goal congruence
between KMP and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Consolidated Group is
as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other senior executives,
was developed by the Remuneration Committee after seeking professional advice from independent external
consultants. The Company’s Remuneration Committee benchmarks the Company’s salaries payable to senior
management by reference to independent industry data to ensure that the Company is consistent with prevailing
market conditions. All executives receive a base annual salary (which is based on factors such as length of
service and experience). The Remuneration Committee, in consultation with the Board of Directors, has chosen
to adopt an equity-based approach to remunerating executive staff and employees. The Company utilised the
Employee Share Option Plan as adopted by shareholders in November 2010 (most recently re-affirmed by
shareholders in November 2016) as the mechanism by which options may be issued to executive management
and staff to adequately incentivise these individuals.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
30 JUNE 2019
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)
The Remuneration Committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Consolidated Group’s
performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed
companies in similar industries and then considers the justification of any salary review or participation in the
Employee Share Option Plan.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based
predominantly on the past year’s growth in shareholders’ value over the financial year and by contrast with its
peers and industry sector. All incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The policy is
designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term
growth in shareholder wealth.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Executive Directors determine payments to the non-executive Directors and review their
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is
sought when required. No remuneration consultants were used during the year. The maximum aggregate fees
that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (“the Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company as at and for the twelve months ended 30 June 2019 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (“the Group”). The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the
Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
• has power over the investee;
•
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and
• has the ability to its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassess whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements listed above
The separate financial statements of the Company, Carnegie Clean Energy Limited, have not been presented within
this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a ‘for profit’ entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 October 2019.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (AASB), adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act
2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial
report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial
report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations
The Group has adopted all new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of
these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or
position of the Consolidated Group.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company is currently under administration following the appointment of administrators Korda Mentha on 14
March 2019. The Company has entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement (DoCA) which provides for a
recapitalisation of the Company and a reinstatement of trading of the Company’s securities on ASX, subject to a
number of conditions being met including the raising a minimum of $5.5 million in cash to fund the business pursuant
to the prospectus dated 31 July 2019. On 23 September 2019, the Company announced it had raised the required
funds of $5.5 million and was working towards meeting the remaining conditions as set out by ASX and the DoCA
such that the DoCA can be effectuated in the near term.
At the date of execution of the Financial Report, the Directors were confident that the remaining outstanding terms
would be met and that the DoCA would be effectuated in the near term allowing the Company to exit the
administration process and be reinstated to ASX.
If the DoCA is not effectuated, there exists circumstances that gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast doubt
whether the Company can realise its assets and extinguishing of its liabilities in the ordinary course of business as it
would likely to proceed into liquidation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Joint Operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights
to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Consolidated Group has
recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have
been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.
Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited has the power to direct the activities of the entity and is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or
indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to
govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those
entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is
contained in Note 11 to the financial statements. During the year some group entities were deconsolidated
as control was lost at the date of administration for entities that are currently in the process of liquidation.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between
entities in the Consolidated Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent
entity.
Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the
relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the
profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
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 accounting or taxable profit or loss
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 substantively 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Tax (continued)
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability
will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists,
the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either
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 or settled.
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited has not formed a tax consolidated group with its Australian wholly owned
subsidiaries. As such each entity is responsible for accounting for its own current and deferred tax
amounts. Any unused tax losses and unused tax credits are therefore quarantined at each entity and are
unavailable to the remainder of the Group.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess
of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the
expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The
expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable
amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Group include the cost of materials, direct
labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets is depreciated on a straight-
line basis over their useful lives to the Consolidated Group commencing from the time the asset is held
ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment
1.0% – 50.0%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement
of Financial Position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable
amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts
included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the
asset, but not the legal ownership, is transferred to entities in the consolidated group are classified as
finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to
the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any
guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and
the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or
the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor,
are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Financial Instruments
Applicable to 30 June 2019
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured
at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value
adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective
as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
amortised cost
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments (continued)
Applicable to 30 June 2018
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to
the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date
accounting is adopted).
Amortised cost is calculated as:
a. The amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
b. Less principal repayments;
c. Plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially
recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
d. Less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant
period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
(including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when
this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will
necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense
in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries or associates as being subject to the
requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
i.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at
amortised cost.
ii.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not
suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they
are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other
entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor determinable payments.
iii.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
iv. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Forward sale contracts for large scale generation certificates are recognised when the
entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. The Group has
not designated these hedging instruments and recognises the fair value gain or loss on
these instruments at each balance date through the statement of profit or loss.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Instruments (continued)
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques
are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length
transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
The fair value measurement of forward sales contracts is based on the presumption that the transaction
to sell the large- scale generation certificates takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
•
•
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant or prolonged decline
in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment
losses are recognised in the income statement.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset
is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in
the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related
obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the
financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid,
including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. Where appropriate they are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in
the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.
On the issue of convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for
an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a financial liability on the amortised cost
basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the application of the
effective interest method is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the
conversion option. Where the conversion option meets the definition of equity, it is recognised and included in
shareholders’ equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured
in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
Finance Costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including:
•
•
•
interest on bank overdrafts;
interest on short-term and long-term borrowings; and
interest on finance leases.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impairment of Assets including Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may
be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information
including dividends received from subsidiaries or associates. If such an indication exists, an impairment
test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed immediately in the profit or loss unless
the asset is carried at a re-valued amount in accordance with another accounting standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives, including for goodwill.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit
(“CGU”) or group of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less
than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot
be reversed in future periods.
Intangible Asset – Acquired Intellectual Property and Development Costs
An intangible asset arising from externally acquired intellectual property and development expenditure on
an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of
completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its
ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of
resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to
the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of acquired intellectual
property and the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at
cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from acquired intellectual property and development
expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or has an indefinite
life, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.
Acquired intellectual property and development cost in respect of an asset available for use that has a
finite life is amortised over the asset’s useful life.
The amortisation rates used for each class of intangible asset are:
Class of Intangible Asset
Microgrid/battery technology development asset
Useful Life
7 years
Foreign Currency
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented
in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement,
except where deferred to equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to
balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later
than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for
those benefits.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially and at each reporting date until it is vested, determined by
applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the terms and conditions on which the benefit
was granted, and to the extent to which employees have rendered service to date. The cumulative cost
recognised until settlement is a liability and the periodic determination of this liability is as follows:
At each reporting date between grant and settlement, the fair value of the benefit is determined
(a) During the vesting period, the liability recognised at each reporting date is the fair value of the benefit at that
date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period;
(b) From the end of the vesting period until settlement, the liability recognised is the full fair value of the liability at
the reporting date; and
(c) All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
For shares acquired under limited recourse loans, the Group is required to recognise within the income
statement a remuneration expense measured at the fair value of the shares inherent in the issue to the eligible
person, with a corresponding increase to a share-based payments reserve in equity. The fair value is measured
at grant date and recognised when the eligible person becomes unconditionally entitled to the shares,
effectively on grant. A loan receivable is not recognised.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Revenue and Other Income
Applicable to 30 June 2019
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is
effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 July 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to
revenue recognition.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
Identifying the contract with a customer
Identifying the performance obligations
1)
2)
3) Determining the transaction price
4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and
5) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on the delivery of performance obligations and
an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer.
In determining the amount of revenue and profits to record, and related statement of financial position items
(such as contract fulfilment assets, capitalisation of costs to obtain a contract, trade receivables, accrued
income and deferred income) to recognise in the period, management is required to form a number of key
judgements and assumptions. This includes an assessment of the costs the Group incurs to deliver the
contractual commitments and whether such costs should be expensed as incurred or capitalised.
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract has been performed, so 'point
in time' recognition or 'over time' as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
Applicable to 30 June 2018
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is received. Revenue is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms
of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue
arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all revenue arrangements, has pricing latitude, and is also
exposed to inventory and credit risks. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax
(GST).
Revenue from the solar and battery microgrid engineering and construction operation is measured by the
percentage of completion based on costs incurred less revenue previously recognised and less provision for
foreseeable losses, allocated between amounts due from customers and amounts due to customers.
Revenue for variations is recognised when it is probable the variation will be approved by the customer and
the amount of revenue can be reliability measured.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cost includes variable and fixed costs directly related to specific contracts, costs related to contract activity in
general which can be allocated to specific contracts on a reasonable basis and other costs specifically
chargeable under the contract. Costs expected to be incurred under penalty clauses and rectification provisions
are also included. Costs incurred in securing contracts are included when they can be separately identified and
measured reliably, and where it is probable that the contract will be obtained. Amounts received from customers
not recognised as revenue are allocated to Trade and Other Payables. Amounts recognised as revenue but
not yet billable are recognised as accrued revenue, with amounts billed but not payable until the satisfaction
of conditions specified in the contract for the payment of such amounts or until defects have been rectified are
classified as amount on retention.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial asset.
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis. Royalty income, when applicable, is received on a quarterly
basis and any under or over accrual applicable to previously recognised royalty income is adjusted for based
on the receipt of the royalty income entitlement.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial asset.
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis. Royalty income, when applicable, is received on a quarterly
basis and any under or over accrual applicable to previously recognised royalty income is adjusted for based
on the receipt of the royalty income entitlement.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Group has significant influence but not control or joint
control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the
share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in
equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement
of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Consolidated Group's share of net assets of
the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is
neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates
reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Consolidated Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate,
including any unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Consolidated Group discontinues the use of equity accounting upon the loss of significant influence and
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate’s carrying amount,
fair value of the interest in investment and proceeds on disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts
normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT, except where the
amount of GST and VAT incurred are not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the
GST and VAT are recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the
expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST
and VAT.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST and VAT
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Government Grants and Research and Development Tax Incentives
Government grants and research and development tax incentives are recognised at fair value where
there is reasonable assurance that the grant or tax incentive will be received and all grant or tax incentive
conditions will be met. Where grantor tax incentive conditions are not yet fully met, grants or tax
incentives will be treated as unearned funding in the balance sheet. Grants or tax incentives relating to
expense items are recognised as an offset against these expenses to match the costs they are
compensating. Grants or tax incentives relating to items capitalised as assets are recognised as an offset
against the asset to match the costs they are compensating.
Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the
Consolidated Group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue throughout the reporting period.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the
Consolidated Group, adjusted for, the dilutive effects of any outstanding unlisted options over ordinary
shares in the parent.
Fair Value Measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes
that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market,
in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value
measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising
the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy
that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed
at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Forward sale contracts for large scale generation certificates are recognised when the entity becomes a
party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. The Consolidated Group has not designated these
as hedging instruments and recognises the fair value gain or loss on these instruments at each balance
date through the statement of profit or loss.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based
on the presumption that the transaction to sell the large-scale generation certificates takes place either:
•
•
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest.
Contributed Equity
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.
The effects of adopting AASB 9 are set out below.
(i)
Classification and measurement
Under AASB 9, there is a change in the classification and measurement requirements relating to financial
assets. Previously, there were four categories of financial assets: loans and receivables, fair value through
profit or loss, held to maturity and available for sale. Under AASB 9, financial assets are either classified
as amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income.
New Accounting Standards in Application
In the year ended 30 June 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting
period. The Consolidated Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards
and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Group, are set out below
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for
financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting.
The Group has applied AASB 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of 1 January 2018 and has
adjusted the comparative information for the period beginning 1 July 2017, where necessary. There were no
material impacts on the comparative balances other than a change in classification of some receivables.

AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Assets
The Group has no significant financial assets held at fair value, nor did it have any in the prior period.
Financial Liabilities
The Group has no significant financial liabilities held at fair value through the profit or loss, nor did it have any
in the prior period.
(ii)
Impairment
The adoption of AASB 9 has changed the Group’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by
replacing AASB 139’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach.
AASB 9 requires the Group to recognise an allowance for ECLs for financial assets not held at fair value
through profit or loss.
As all of the Group’s trade receivables and other current receivables which the Group measures at amortised
cost are short term (i.e. less than 12 months), the change to a forward-looking ECL approach did not have a
material impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard
provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard
will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance
obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding
credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative
stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices
exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented
separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied
when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance
obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how
much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will
be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable,
depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient
quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers;
the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from
the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.
New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Group for the annual reporting period ended 30
June 2019. The Consolidated Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Group, are set out below.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard
replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance
leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position,
measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The
exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal
computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use'
asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to
the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line
operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included
in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the
earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation
and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and
depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease
payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing
activities) component.
For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group
currently has very minimal leases and will have no material impact on future accounts.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements:
Impairment of development asset
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to
the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
Annual impairment testing is also carried out for all intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (refer to
Note 13).
Useful lives of available for use intangible assets
Acquired intellectual property and development costs in respect of an asset available for use that has a
finite life is amortised over the asset’s useful life. The Group assesses the useful life based on conditions
specific to the Group and to the particular asset, including the expected usage of the asset by the Group,
public information on estimates of useful lives of similar assets, and technical and technological
obsolescence.
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instrument at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the
Black Scholes formula taking into consideration the terms and conditions upon which the instruments are
granted (refer to Note 27).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 13: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
The CETO technology has yet to be commercialised and is in the development phase. The cash generating unit
which the CETO technology belongs comprises significant other assets at 30 June 2019, which was not the case
during the prior year. Accordingly, the approach adopted for this year’s valuation has been amended to a relief
from royalty methodology (RRM) to value separately the CETO technology. Management has considered the
RRM as being the most appropriate methodology to value CETO technology as:
•
•
•
RRM is a commonly used and widely accepted method for valuing intellectual property (IP),
A cost based approach can be used as a crosscheck using the costs required to replicate the IP. Whilst
Management have details on the historical expenditure incurred in developing and maintaining the IP it is
not possible to identify what proportion of the historical expenditure is now obsolete, and
A market based approach is also rarely applied in the valuation of IP due to a lack of comparable
transactions of IP from which valuation metrics can be observed and deduced.
The basic principle of the relief from royalty methodology (RRM) is that if you do not own such intellectual property
(IP), you would need to pay to license it from the IP owner. By virtue of owning the asset, the IP owner is ‘relieved’
from the responsibility of licensing the IP from a third party. The value of that is therefore benchmarked to the
hypothetical cost to license such IP from a third party.
The determination of fair value is based on ‘fair value’ as defined under AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement. At
30 June 2019, as the fair value has been estimated to be less than the carrying value of the CETO technology,
$32,436,691 in impairment losses has been recognised as an expense.
Fair value was determined by the Company engaging a suitably qualified independent consultant after the
conclusion of the financial year to prepare an independent valuation report. The RRM utilises an estimate of the
forecast royalty stream that a hypothetical third party would pay to utilise the IP less the costs of
commercialisation.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most
sensitive.
The calculation of the fair value less cost of disposal is based on the following key assumptions:
•
Expected revenue generated from the sale of CETO IP units, based on a minority market share of the
world’s installed wave energy capacity annually to 2050;
Remaining useful life of the IP will have a life beyond the remaining patent period as new technology is
developed and patented. As such, a 25 years useful life has been assumed;
A royalty rate range of 3% to 5% with a mid-point of 4% has been applied. To determine a royalty rate
range, royalty rates associated with the renewable energy sector were considered and selected. The
“profit split” between a licensee and licensor of IP was also considered;
Management estimates of the cost to Carnegie (net of grants and research & development rebates) to
commercialise of $4 million for 2019 and 2020, $3 million for 2021 and 2022, and $1 million for 2023 is
required to deploy a first CETO unit in 2020 and to reach full scale commercial operations by 2023;
A tax rate of 30%;
The assumed post-tax rate of return of 20% is based on the weighted average cost of capital plus an
intangible asset premium of 2%.

Provision for Long-Term Employee Benefits
A provision has been recognised for employee entitlements relating to long service leave (LSL). In calculating
the present value of future cash flows in respect of LSL, the probability of LSL being taken is based on historical
data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been included in Note 1 of
this report.
Provision for Defect Liability Period
A provision was previously been recognised for defect liability periods (DLP) on work performed. In calculating
the present value of future cash flows in respect of DLP, the probability and cost of DLP being taken is based
on historical data. Due to the deconsolidation of EMC this amount has been derecognised in the current year.
Provision for Make Good
The Group has an obligation to return the leased land, on which the Northam Solar Farm asset it situated,
back to its condition prior to construction commencing at the end of the lease. These costs are currently
expected to be incurred in 2043 at the end of the project’s life. An estimate of future costs has been determined
for the restoration of the land and has been discounted to present value using the Australian 10-year
government bond rate. Due to the expected disposal of the Northam Solar Farm, this amount has been
derecognised.

NOTE 16: BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)
In October 2017, Carnegie announced that it had entered into a Partnership Agreement with Bookitja Pty Ltd
and Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) as co-equity investors in relation to the 10MW Northam Solar Farm
Project. As part of this arrangement, Carnegie signed a term sheet for a $7.5 million construction debt facility
for the Northam Solar Farm Project. The facility is provided by Asymmetric Credit Partners Pty Ltd, who were
one of the existing convertible note holders. In order to secure the construction debt facility, Carnegie
undertook a debt restructure whereby:
•
the existing $2.8 million convertible notes would be wound up and converted at the rate of $0.038,
resulting in the issue of 73,684,211 ordinary Carnegie shares;
• existing convertible note holders would be issued (at no cost) an additional 19,649,123 Carnegie
shares within 7 days of signing detailed transaction documentation;
• and existing convertible note holders would be issued a further 35,000,000 unlisted Carnegie
options (expiring in 5 years with a fixed exercise price of $0.06 per share), within 7 days of signing
detailed transaction documentation.
The conversion of the existing convertible notes occurred during October 2017, however the issue of the
additional Carnegie shares and unlisted options occurred on 8 February 2018. The fair values of these shares
and options were calculated at the same date as the existing convertible notes were converted into ordinary
shares. The fair values were calculated as follows:

NOTE 20: BUSINESS RISK
For the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the Group incurred an operating loss of $51.9 million (2018: $63.3
million). As at 30 June 2019, the Group had an accumulated deficit of $186.0 million. The majority of the
accumulated deficit has resulted from costs incurred in the CETO technology development program,
impairment of intangible assets, write off of Subsidiary Energy Made Clean Pty Ltd and from associated general
and administrative costs.
As the Group continues to develop its proprietary technologies, it expects to have a net decrease in cash from
operating activities until it achieves positive cash flow.
The Group cannot say with certainty when it will become profitable because of the uncertainties associated
with successfully commercializing a wave energy technology. If existing resources are insufficient to satisfy
the liquidity requirements, the Group may seek to sell its solar microgrid asset, additional equity or debt
securities or obtain credit facilities. If the Group is unable to obtain required financing, it may be required to
reduce the scope of its planned product development and commercialization efforts which could adversely
affect its financial position and operating results.

NOTE 21: OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group identifies its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the
Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation
of resources.
The Group is organised into two operating segments:
- Discontinued operations
- Continuing operations
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
The financial information presented in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial
position is the same as that presented to the chief operating decision maker. Segment performance is evaluated
based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
However, financing (including finance costs and finance income), gains and losses on fair value movements
through profit and loss, royalties, share of profit and losses of associates, losses on consolidation and disposal
of associates, and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Intersegment transactions are on arm’s length basis and are eliminated on consolidation. Intersegment loans
are initially recognised at the consideration received and earn or incur interest at prevailing market rates.
Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.
All amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker are in accordance with accounting
policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial Risk Management Policies
The Board of Directors has responsibility for, amongst other issues, monitoring and managing financial risk
exposures of the Consolidated Group. The Board monitors the Group’s financial risk management policies
and exposures and approves financial transactions within the scope of its authority. It also reviews the
effectiveness of internal controls relating to commodity price risk, counter party credit risk, currency risk,
financing risk and interest rate risk.
(a)
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s
value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The effective weighted average

Credit Risk
(b)
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the
Statement of Financial Position and notes to the Statement of Financial Position.
The Consolidated Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors
under financial instruments entered into by the Consolidated Group. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and
other receivables are provided in Note 9. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are
banks with high credit ratings.
Net fair value
(c)
The net fair value and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the
Statement of Financial Position and in the notes to the Statement of Financial Position.
For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market the net fair value has been based on a
reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment, where this
could not be done, they have been carried at cost. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traded
on organised markets in standardised form other than investments.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position have been analysed
and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
— quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
—
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
(Level 3).

(e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling
its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group
manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
• preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing
and financing activities;
• monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
• obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
• maintaining a reputable credit profile;
• managing credit risk related to financial assets;
•
investing only in surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of
financial assets.

options are only granted to Director’s after approval by shareholders. The plan is designed to align
participants’ interests with those of shareholders by increasing value of the Company’s shares.
Under the plan, the exercise price of the options is set by the Board of Directors at the time of issue.
Management Incentive Equity Plan
Following shareholder approval, shares were issued at market value to the Managing Director and
were funded by a limited recourse loan. The share issue is not recognized as issued capital and is
treated as a share option issue in accordance with accounting standards. The plan is designed to
align participants’ interests with those of shareholders by increasing value of the Company’s shares.
During the financial year, the Company announced the departure of Michael Ottaviano from the
position of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer with effect from 30 September 2018. In
accordance with Michael Ottaviano’s departure, the shares issued to him pursuant to the Plan were

NOTE 31: DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Carnegie holds a 11.3% interest (2018: 50%) in the Northam Solar Farm (NSF)(to be disposed of under
the DoCA), which expects to create large scale generation certificates (LGCs) from its renewable energy
generation in future periods. Under the Renewable Energy Target Scheme (RET Scheme) renewable
energy producers create a certificate for each megawatt-hour of renewable electricity they produce and
liable entities are required to surrender LGCs to the Clean Energy Regulator. The price of LGCs is
determined based on supply and demand for these certificates and may be impacted by the actions of
market participants and any changes to existing government regulations.
The NSF holds agreements with various parties to supply LGCs at future dates. These forward contracts
are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with the expected
renewable energy generation from the Partnership’s assets. Any of these actions or reduced confidence
in the RET scheme could adversely affect the Group’s revenue and future financial performance.
The fair value of the LGCs are based on quoted forward markets, being level one inputs in the fair value
hierarchy. Where a LGC is expected to be settled within 12 months they are to be disclosed as current.
All other LGCs are disclosed as non-current.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (Subject To Deed Of Company Arrangement,
Administrators Appointed)
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (Subject To Deed Of
Company Arrangement, Administrators Appointed) (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the
Consolidated Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Group is in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, including:
a) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019
and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
b) 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 Consolidated 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 (“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.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists
that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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. In addition to the matter described in the Material
Uncertainty Related to Going Concern paragraph above, we have determined the matters
described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
67
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue and the related risk of fraud
Note 2 of the financial report
The Consolidated Group predominately generates
revenue through its Microgrid and large scale solar
projects.
Due to the presumption of risk over revenue
recognition as prescribed by
the Australian
Auditing Standards Board, this area has been
subject to significant audit procedures.
Fair value of intangible assets
Note 13 of the financial report
As at 30 June 2019, the Consolidated Group had
an intangible assets balance of $15.0 million which
related to capitalised development costs and
intellectual property.
Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, finite life
intangible assets are subject to an impairment test
should indicators of impairment arise.
We consider the recoverable amount of intangible
assets to be a key audit matter as it involves

calculations used to calculate the fair value

- We reviewed management’s assessment in
relation to recoverable amounts; and
- We assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures included in the relevant notes to
the financial report.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Consolidated Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019,
but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
68
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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
Consolidated 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 Consolidated Group or to cease operations, or have 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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
-
-
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Consolidated Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Consolidated Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
69
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report

section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
