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

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”

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.

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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 
30 JUNE 2019 

Corporate 

•  On  28  September  2018,  Mr  Jonathan  Fievez  was  appointed  as  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  Carnegie 

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 

• 

30 November 2018.  
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. 

•  On 26 June 2019 the Company announced the change of auditors from Crowe Horwarth to HLB Mann Judd. 

FINANCIAL POSITION 
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. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Group occurred during the financial year: 

•  The Company was placed into Administration together with its subsidiary company Energy Made Clean Pty 
Ltd and associated subsidiaries.  As a result, the Company remained in Administration (subject to a Deed 
of Company Arrangement) at the end of the Financial Year.

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

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.

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). 

• 
• 
• 
• 
All  income  and  expenses relating  to financial  assets  that  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  are  presented 
within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables 
which is presented within other expenses.

The classification is determined by both:

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented 
within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables 
which is presented within other expenses.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

the assets’ future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Consolidated Group don’t correlate

NOTE 15: PROVISIONS (CONTINUED) 

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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: 

Additional Carnegie Shares issued  
Unlisted options issued 
Amount recognised in Profit/Loss 2018 

             $   943,158 
                          $   840,000 
$1,783,158 

i.On  11  January  2017,  the  Company  completed  a  capital  raising  of  $5.0  million  by  issuing  500  unlisted

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.

(g)  if at any time after the date of the Convertible Note Facility Agreements there occurs any reconstruction 
of the issued capital of the Company then the entitlement of the Lenders to convert the 2021 Notes and 
any amount of interest owing, then unconverted, shall be reconstructed in a manner that is consistent 
with the ASX Listing Rules and in the same proportion and manner as any reconstruction of the issued 
capital of the issue. 

2.  General Security Agreement 

On  22  October  2019,  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  DOCA,  the  Company  entered  into  a  General  Security

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 
interest rates in classes of financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

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).

  The  group  has  performed  sensitivity  analysis  relating  to  its  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk,  at 
balance date.  This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and 
equity which could result from a change in these risks. 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis 

  At 30 June 2019, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with 

all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) 

 (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. 

Borrowings, trade and sundry payables are expected to be paid as followed:

Share options are granted to executives and staff at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Share 
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 
returned to the Company in accordance with the limited recourse loan.

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.

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 
involving  subjectivity  and 
complex  matters 
the  users’ 
is  material 
judgement, 
understanding  of  the  financial  statements  as  a 
whole  and  it  required  significant  auditor  attention 
and  communication  with  those  charged  with 
governance.

-  We  reviewed  the  valuation  obtained  by 
management  from  an  independent  expert 
and the valuation approach adopted; 

-  We considered the ability to rely on the work 

of the independent expert; 

-  We  considered  material  assumptions  and 
calculations  used  to  calculate  the fair  value 
of the asset; 

-  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 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors’ report for the year ended 
30 June 2019.   

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (Subject To Deed Of 
Company Arrangement, Administrators Appointed) for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
