Whilst there have been delays, the plan is still sound. As we wrap up the activities in the Digital Development Pathway over the coming months, and in light of exciting new spin-off opportunities, the Team will soon be launching a new roadmap that includes the pathway to deliver CETO and our new strategic spin-off products, MoorPowerTM and the Wave Predictor. Some of the key achievements from the past financial year include the Blue Economy CRC Mooring Tensioner Project, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Collaboration Agreement, the Microsoft AI for Earth grant, and achieving our new debt free status. Since fiscal year end, the successful sale of the legacy Gold Royalty and securing Blue Economy CRC funding for the MoorPowerTM Project have been key accomplishments which will support and feature in our new roadmap. The Team’s primary focus continues to be delivering a cost-competitive and technically viable CETO digital design and model to be commercialised for the benefit of our stakeholders. Nonetheless, every large opportunity comes with challenges. Solar and wind will become more and more competitive as the world transitions into a fully renewable energy environment. There are also new and existing wave energy companies that are competing for funding and commercialisation partners. Carnegie is in an advanced position technically and enabling the commercial roll out of wave energy technologies will be our biggest challenge and opportunity. On behalf of the Carnegie Clean Energy (CCE) team and my fellow directors, I am pleased to provide an overview of Carnegie’s progress over the past financial year 2021. Our “vision” is to be the most successful ocean energy company on Earth and our “purpose” is to harness ocean energy to make the world more sustainable. Our company has made significant progress over the year. We are better positioned for the future with the elimination of debt and adequate cash to sustain R&D and commercial development well into the next financial year. The Team’s primary focus is our proprietary CETO technology, whilst in parallel we are also expanding with the development of new and exciting complementary spin-off product opportunities. Over the past year, shareholders received CCE’s Digital Development Pathway progress updates and significant advancements have been made despite some of the milestones being currently behind schedule.

The team has also been actively exploring opportunities to spin-off components and associated technologies which enhance Carnegie’s technology offering and fit within Carnegie’s vision and mission. 6 Annual Report 2021 Carnegie’s intellectual property, embedded in these products, provides the potential to revolutionise marine renewable power, deliver innovative solutions to ocean industries and support global efforts towards decarbonisation. The CETO and MoorPowerTM products are wave energy converters (WECs) which capture energy in ocean waves and convert it into zero-emission electricity suitable for a variety of different markets. Carnegie’s intellectual property, embedded in these products, provides the potential to revolutionise marine renewable power, deliver innovative solutions to ocean industries and support global efforts towards decarbonisation. Carnegie is pleased to have expanded its technology portfolio over the last year to now include: CETO® CETO is an advanced wave energy system suitable for a wide range of remote and utility scale markets globally. MoorPowerTM MoorPowerTM is an integrated wave energy system for offshore demand applications such as offshore aquaculture. Wave Predictor Carnegie’s Wave Predictor is capable of precisely predicting upcoming waves using a proprietary machine learning algorithm. This enables intelligent control for wave energy converters and is also suitable for other applications beyond the wave energy industry. 7 03 Global Context The World is moving away from reliance on traditional fossil fuels and towards diversified clean energy portfolios that decarbonise the entire energy system. Wave energy is an untapped renewable resource that has an important role to play in this global energy system transition. Wave energy has the benefits of consistency and predictability which allow it to firm up more variable renewables like solar and wind, and requiring less energy storage. In some places, wave may be the only renewable energy that is practical, such as mountainous or heavily forested islands. Carnegie is set to take advantage of this global movement towards renewable energy and decarbonisation with our growing suite of products. Key trends demonstrating the potential for wave energy 1. Increased demand for electricity: The global population is forecast to increase nearly 34% by 2050 to 9.47 billion and there is expected to be a 45% rise in global energy demand with much of the world’s populations and energy requirements close to the coast. 4. Demand for renewables: Renewables are replacing coal and gas generated electricity. Even the largest traditional oil & gas entities globally are investing in renewable power projects. Wave energy is consistent and predictable and can support other more variable renewables in an energy portfolio. United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals As a company, Carnegie is committed to supporting and delivering progress on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 8 Carnegie Clean Energy 2. Climate: Climate change is driving the need to decarbonise every aspect of the economy. Governments worldwide are committing to zero carbon and this requires solutions for every aspect of modern energy consumption. 3. Corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG): Increased focus on sustainability in business is driving ESG reporting by businesses and changing investor behaviours to increasingly value socially conscious investments. 5. Blue Economy: Growing recognition of the value of the Blue Economy. Ocean related industries contribute more than $1.5 trillion in value added to the overall economy each year. The MoorPowerTM product is specifically targeted at Blue Economy applications. 6. Learning rates reduce energy cost: Established renewable energy sectors like wind and solar have demonstrated and proven viable cost reduction pathways which the wave energy sector will follow. 9 Annual Report 2021 04 Market Wave energy is renewable, predictable, abundant and geographically distributed. Whilst exact estimates of the size of the global wave energy resource vary, all agree that there is a significant market opportunity waiting to be captured. Early target market opportunities for the CETO technology are remote islands, off-grid locations, and offshore demand applications such as the offshore aquaculture sector. These markets often have high energy costs, rely on diesel generation and in many cases have limited access to other renewable energy sources. The largest target market for CETO comprises the global utility scale electricity markets. The timing of wave energy roll out in these markets will depend on the level of support for the emerging wave energy sector and the cost reductions achieved as the sector grows and matures. The wave energy industry is expected to reach learning and growth rates in line with previously developed energy technologies such as solar PV and offshore wind. 05 Business Plan Carnegie’s strategic business plan supports our vision and mission and aims to maximise value from our products to ultimately increase operational revenue and generate sustainable profit. The business plan includes 5 strategic themes: 1. Create Unique Competitive Products: Develop wave energy technology and IP that drives Carnegie’s position as the most successful ocean energy company and preferred partner to project developers. 2. Build a Market for Wave Energy: Create demand for wave energy through market intelligence, education and increasing awareness of the wave energy potential worldwide. 3. Foster the Carnegie Ecosystem: Drive success of Carnegie’s wave energy technology through fostering a collaborative network and developing key partnerships. 4. Secure Financial Stability: Secure long- term financial sustainability through a focus on technology realisation and commercialisation in a lean operating environment. 5. Cultivate an Aligned and High Performing Team: Ensure Carnegie has the skills, culture and capability required to deliver on its business plan and strategic initiatives. 10 Carnegie Clean Energy Products 1. CETO 2. MoorPower 3. Wave Predictor 11 06 Annual Report 2021 Carnegie Clean Energy CETO CETO is designed to be deployed in wave energy arrays producing clean, renewable electricity for markets ranging from offshore infrastructure and small remote island microgrids to large utility scale grids around the world. The CETO system is a fully submerged, point absorber type wave energy technology affording minimal visual impact from shore. A submerged buoy sits a few metres below the surface of the ocean and moves with the ocean’s waves. This orbital motion drives a Power Take-Off (PTO) system that converts the wave motion into grid-ready electricity. Over the past two years, Carnegie has undertaken a portfolio of R&D innovations that are delivering significant reductions in cost and improvements in the performance of CETO. For instance, the advanced controllers in development are already demonstrating significant improvements in performance which support reduced costs. These high impact innovations led by Carnegie have also brought in strategic partners and contractors to provide additional expertise and develop future opportunities. 12 Named after a Greek sea goddess, Carnegie’s CETO wave energy technology offers the potential to revolutionise marine renewable power and deliver carbon reduction through the use of wave energy which can complement other renewable energy technologies. Annual Report 2021 Innovations introduced into the CETO system • Intelligent wave energy control • A rotary electric power take-off (PTO) system • Optimised hydrodynamics and multi-moored architecture Over the next year, the development efforts will continue along a new pathway which progresses the technology towards detailed design for the first project deployment of the new intelligent CETO technology. This detailed design work will ensure that the benefit of the innovations developed over the past two years are fully captured and implemented in the CETO commercialisation pathway into the future. CETO Advantages • No Visual Impact – fully submerged and invisible from shore • Developed & Tested – over 10 years of onshore, tank and tens of thousands of hours of in-ocean testing • Flexible – operates in a variety of water depths, swell directions, tides and seafloor conditions • Storm Survivability – fully submerged & extreme wave mitigation system • Security – provides emissions free sustainable energy and water security to countries & islands • Scalable – modular array design • Clean – minimal environmental impact, co-exists with and encourages marine life • Desalination – zero-emission freshwater co-production allows pseudo energy storage 13 Carnegie Clean Energy MoorPower MoorPowerTM is a spin-off wave energy technology that utilises CETO IP but is designed for integration into floating offshore structures such as feeding barges in the aquaculture sector. As the aquaculture sector moves operations further offshore, they no longer have access to shore-based power, and so energy intensive offshore aquaculture operations such as feeding barges are reliant on diesel generators with many associated costs, risks and carbon emissions. This is also true of many moored vessels across the blue economy and therefore provides an opportunity for Carnegie to offer a new solution to the challenge of securing clean and reliable energy. The first market for this product would be aquaculture barges and vessels that require energy for electrical loads operating offshore. Carnegie’s new wave power product addresses the challenge of securing clean and reliable energy and replaces the diesel generation that would otherwise be required. MoorPowerTM Scaled Demonstrator Project Partners 14 Over the next 2 years, Carnegie will design, build and operate a scaled demonstrator of the MoorPowerTM product just offshore from Carnegie’s office and research facility in North Fremantle. Annual Report 2021 The vision for MoorPowerTM was launched at a Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre conference in early 2021. The concept and vision for MoorPowerTM grew out of engagement with stakeholders in the BE CRC including key aquaculture companies and their technology providers, ensuring that Carnegie understood their requirements, constraints and challenges. Over the course of the past year, the team developed a roadmap to bring the MoorPowerTM product from a concept to market adoption. The first step in this roadmap and the formal launch of MoorPowerTM occurred in October 2021, when Carnegie announced the MoorPowerTM - Scaled Demonstrator Project which will take MoorPowerTM from concept to an operating prototype. Over the next 2 years, Carnegie will design, build and operate a scaled demonstrator of the MoorPowerTM product just offshore from Carnegie’s office and research facility in North Fremantle. This will be delivered with the support of funding from the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre and close collaboration with a consortium of partners including two of Australia’s largest aquaculture companies, Huon and Tassal, and leading academic and industry partners. Additional aquaculture technology providers, such as companies that build feeding barges, are also supportive of this project. Carnegie will continue engaging with key stakeholders to advance the technical and commercial roadmap for MoorPowerTM. Following the scaled demonstrator, the next step in the product roadmap will be the integration of MoorPowerTM into an operating environment, likely to be in Tasmania with our Blue Economy partners. 15 Carnegie Clean Energy Wave Predictor Carnegie’s Wave Predictor is a locally developed but globally marketable product that can predict ocean waves up to minutes into the future, before they impact the shore, a structure, or a wave energy converter. From increasing the safety of rock fishing and critical offshore operations, through to increasing the efficiency of wave energy converters, wave prediction has a huge potential across a number of ocean industry sectors. The Wave Predictor uses Carnegie’s proprietary machine learning algorithm. For wave energy converters like CETO, this provides data that can be used to determine the forces that will be applied to the device into the future and enables intelligent controllers which can optimise performance and significantly reduce costs. For other applications such as offshore lifting, personnel transfers and rock fishing, the knowledge of upcoming waves from the Wave Predictor can improve safety. Other ocean users would also benefit from the Wave Predictor for other safety, leisure and research purposes. 16 The Wave Predictor has potential applications in wave energy and beyond, including improving safety of personnel transfers (right and bottom). An animated view of Carnegie’s Wave Predictor (centre). Annual Report 2021 The Wave Predictor leverages the power of artificial intelligence to make accurate second-by-second predictions of the precise shape and timing of waves. It is based on deep learning, a branch of Artificial Intelligence which uses artificial neural networks, the architecture of which is inspired by that of the human brain, to learn relationships between complex phenomena. The Wave Predictor utilises data captured from nearby wave buoys to feed into the prediction algorithm and predict waves to a high level of accuracy. This exciting product, originally developed to support Carnegie’s intelligent controllers and respond to the needs of the wave energy industry, also has several other market applications. Through the development process, the company identified opportunities to simplify, reduce the cost, and increase the reliability of its wave predictor. By moving from reliance on in-ocean-wave- sensors to shore or platform-based cameras or radar to generate input, the Wave Predictor can serve an even wider range of markets. In addition to continuing to improve the Wave Predictor for the CETO intelligent controllers, the team is also working to enable the Wave Predictor to utilise input from other data sources making it low cost, easy to install and easy to maintain for many market applications. 17 07 Partnerships and Collaborations Carnegie is pleased to work with a range of world-class academic and industrial partners around the world to enhance and improve CETO subsystems with impacts being delivered rapidly. These collaborations also explore longer term opportunities intended to deliver future cost reduction improvements along the technology commercialisation pathway. Direct collaborations are undertaken with key partners individually or in consortium projects, a selection of which are described here. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Carnegie and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE), the multinational enterprise information technology company with a market cap of USD$19.2 billion, are working collaboratively to develop a reinforcement learning based controller for the CETO wave energy technology. The work complements the artificial intelligence development underway at Carnegie and supports Carnegie’s efforts to develop controllers that maximise the performance and minimise cost of the CETO technology. Hewlett Packard Labs is contributing their reinforcement learning (RL) expertise and computational resources to the project, working alongside Carnegie’s team, which is already developing a number of intelligent controllers for the CETO technology. Reinforcement learning is an area of artificial intelligence in which a machine learning model is built with the ability to self-learn. While the intelligent controller currently under development has to optimise the device’s response for every wave (using ML models within the optimisation), the RL 18 Carnegie Clean Energy Hewlett Packard Labs is working with Carnegie Clean Energy to use AI to harness the power of the ocean waves for renewable energy production – Antonio Neri, Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO controller has the ability to directly learn and apply the optimum response to predicted waves, during operation. The RL controller, which comes pre-loaded with a simple control scheme, explores away from this reference using the concept of reward to identify and learn improved control actions. Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (BE CRC) The BE CRC is coordinating a more than $300m programme to advance Australia’s blue economy in the areas of seafood production, marine renewable energy and offshore engineering. In late 2020, the BE CRC awarded $850,000 of grant funding to support the Mooring Tensioner for Wave Energy Converters (MoTWEC) Project, a $1.6 million project led by Carnegie. This ongoing Project is designing and testing the Mooring Tensioner including coupon/material testing and scale prototype testing. The Mooring Tensioner is a novel component which helps to unlock the potential of rotary power take off systems for wave energy converters. It also may have broader applications in the marine sector. In October 2021, Carnegie and the BE CRC launched the MoorPowerTM – Scaled Demonstrator Project which will design, install and operate a scaled prototype in waters off Carnegie’s research facility in North Fremantle, Western Australia. This $3.4m project will be delivered by a strong project team including Carnegie, Huon, Tassal, DNV, Advanced Composite Structures Australia, AMC Search, University of Tasmania, University of Queensland and ClimateKIC/Australian Ocean Energy Group. The project will receive $1.3m of cash support from the BE CRC, $265,000 of cash support from Carnegie with the balance ($1.8m) provided in-kind by the project partners. Joint Industry Project – Belt Development Carnegie and fellow wave developers, CalWave Power Technologies, Marine Power Systems (MPS), and Oscilla Power are undertaking a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to advance an innovative belt design that will support the commercialisation of rotary PTO systems for CETO like wave energy converters. Recognising that many developers pursuing rotary PTOs face similar challenges, Carnegie brought together a consortium of wave developers to utilise an open innovation approach to collaboratively advance the development of the belt. Through the JIP, the partners are sharing knowledge and advancing the belt technology together including sharing the cost of input from specialist engineering contractors. Academic and Research Institution Partners Carnegie is pleased to be involved in several productive collaborations with valued research partners across Australia and internationally including the University of Adelaide, CSIRO, University of Western Australia, University of Queensland, University of Tasmania and Wave Energy Scotland. In collaboration with Australian academic partners, Carnegie accesses the world class supercomputing resources and know-how at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Western Australia. 19 Annual Report 2021 Industry Association Memberships and Representation In addition to our direct collaborations, Carnegie also engages with the wider offshore energy industry and benefits from other advancements without having to fund the research. For instance, the foundation, dynamic and export electrical cables, biofouling and grid connection subsystems are examples that are undergoing well- funded development and cost reduction thanks to demands from other industries such as offshore wind and tidal energy. Carnegie can benefit from this but also has a library of designs and a wealth of experience in these subsystems from previous projects. Engagement with the wider offshore energy industry also occurs via Carnegie’s membership in industry associations such as Ocean Energy Europe and the Australian Ocean Energy Group. The Australian Ocean Energy Group (AOEG) is an industry led cluster formed to facilitate collaboration throughout the wave and tidal energy industry. Carnegie is a founding member and active participant in this cluster. AOEG’s mission is to accelerate the commercialisation of Australia’s ocean energy as the next frontier in low carbon generating capacity and add ocean energy to Australia’s energy resource mix. Ocean Energy Europe (OEE) is the largest network of ocean energy professionals in the world and very actively represents the interests of Europe’s ocean energy sector. Carnegie is one of over 120 member organisations which includes Europe’s leading utilities, industrialists and research institutes. Ocean Energy Europe’s mission is to create a strong environment for the development of ocean energy, improve access to funding, and enhance business opportunities for its members. To achieve this, OEE engages with the European Institutions (Commission, Parliament, Council, EIB, etc.), and national ministries on policy issues affecting the sector. Australia is a full member of the IEC TC 114 – the International Electrotechnical Commission’s Technical Committee on marine energy. This international committee is developing international standards for marine energy covering wave, tidal and other water current converters. Carnegie’s Chief Technology Officer, Alexandre Pichard, was selected as an industry representative for the Australian mirror committee. Carnegie is pleased to support Australia’s voice in the development of standards for wave energy converters worldwide. 20 Carnegie Clean Energy 08 Garden Island Microgrid Carnegie returned the system back to production during the year. At the end of the financial year, the system had produced over 3 GWh avoiding over 2,000 tonnes of CO2. Carnegie is the owner of the Garden Island Microgrid (GIMG), located on HMAS Stirling in Western Australia, and delivering clean renewable energy to the Department of Defence under an Electricity Supply Agreement. The GIMG system is comprised of: • 2MW Solar PV array • 2MW/0.5MWh Battery Energy Storage System • A connection point available for future connections of wave energy technologies deployed at Carnegie’s offshore lease area off Garden Island. This offshore wave lease area was the site of Carnegie’s previous Perth Wave Energy Project and benefits from the previous infrastructure investments made. Following a temporary disconnection for several months due to the Department of Defence’s base-wide electrical system upgrade on HMAS Stirling, Carnegie returned the system back to production during the year. At the end of the financial year, the system had produced over 3 GWh avoiding over 2,000 tonnes of CO2. 21 Annual Report 2021 09 Additional Information Additional information required by the Australian Stock Exchange Limited Listing Rules and not disclosed elsewhere in this report.

Key progress was made on Carnegie’s Intelligent Control products, advanced control and power take-off (PTO) system optimisation and hydrodynamic simulations supporting the advancement of the CETO technology. Notably, advanced control efforts are delivering significant improvements in CETO performance with analysis showing the suite of advanced controllers currently achieving up to 27% more energy than the baseline CETO controller.  Carnegie developed and tested a machine learning based Wave Predictor capable of predicting waves at least 30 seconds into the future. The Wave Predictor was validated in a wave tank testing campaign at the Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin in Spain. In addition to being a standalone product for CETO and other applications, the Wave Predictor development is a key step towards the creation of a new Intelligent Control System for the CETO technology.  In March 2021, Carnegie launched its vision for a new product which is a spin-off from CETO that incorporates aspects of Carnegie’s core CETO technology and know-how into a novel wave powered system for use in offshore energy demand applications. The first market for this product would be aquaculture barges and vessels that require energy for offshore operations. As the aquaculture sector moves further offshore into highly energetic conditions, Carnegie’s new wave power product would address the challenge of securing clean and reliable energy and replace the diesel generation otherwise required.  External funding and support have been awarded to the CETO development activities including: o The Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) awarded $850,000 in funding to a Carnegie led Mooring Tensioner for the Wave Energy Converters Project. The project is a collaboration with Advanced Composite Structures Australia, University of Queensland and ClimateKIC representing the Australian Ocean Energy Group to develop a novel Mooring Tensioner, a component of the PTO. o Microsoft awarded Carnegie with an “AI for Earth” grant to support enhancements to Carnegie’s Wave Predictor. As part of this Project, Microsoft is providing Carnegie with a sponsored Microsoft Azure account and credits for Azure compute consumption up to USD$15,000.  Carnegie entered into new Collaboration Agreements to support the development of the CETO technology including: o Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) and Carnegie signed a Collaboration Agreement to develop a reinforcement learning based controller for CETO. This collaborative work is extending the artificial intelligence development already underway at Carnegie by bringing in Hewlett Packard Labs’ significant reinforcement learning expertise and computational resources. o Oceantera, a project development company, and Carnegie signed a Collaboration agreement to explore opportunities of mutual interest including investigating potential CETO project opportunities in South East Asia or other mutually agreed locations, sharing knowledge and expertise and exploring collaborative opportunities to use Carnegie’s Garden Island Microgrid to support development of the wave energy industry. o Wave energy developers Carnegie Clean Energy, CalWave Power Technologies, Marine Power Systems (MPS) and Oscilla Power entered into a Collaboration Agreement to undertake a Joint Industry Project to advance an innovative belt design that will support the commercialisation of rotary power take off systems for CETO like wave energy converters. o Carnegie was invited to join the IMPACT Project Technical Advisory Board to direct and guide the European funded IMPACT Project (Innovative Methods for Wave Energy Pathways Acceleration through Novel Criteria and Test Rigs). This project aims to accelerate testing device development and reduce technology cost through the development of a Dual Hardware-In-The-Loop testing platform. 28 5 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Garden Island Microgrid During the year to 30 June 2021, the Group’s activities included the following:  Under Carnegie’s Power Supply Agreement, the Department of Defence purchases all of the power produced by the Garden Island Microgrid.

CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED) The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows: The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board of Directors after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants. The Board of Directors 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 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 2020 as the mechanism by which options may be issued to executive management and staff to adequately incentivise these individuals. The Board of Directors reviews executive packages annually by reference to the 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.

CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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 year ended 30 June 2021 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. Control is achieved when the Company:  has power over the investee; (924,841) (2,601,662)  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 reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above. The separate financial statements of the Company 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 August 2021. 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 In the year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors have reviewed all of the revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting year. The Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company’s business and, therefore, no change necessary to the Group accounting policies. 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. 17 18 41 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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 as 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. 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. Research and development Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. The capitalised development costs are an intangible asset not yet ready for use and are therefore not currently subject to amortisation. Impairment of intangible assets Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, or are not yet ready for use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. 42 19 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Income Tax expense (income). The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 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. Impairment of intangible assets (continued) Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cashflows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cashflow flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. Property, Plant and Equipment Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisitions of the items. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net costs of each item of plant & equipment. loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably.

Impairment of intangible assets Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, or are not yet ready for use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and equipment Microgrid/Battery technology development asset Depreciation Rate 1.0% - 50.0% 7 years Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leaseholder improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Any item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or where there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the items disposed of is transferred directly to accumulated losses. Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentive received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 19 20 43 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Lease liabilities (continued) Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following; future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. Financial Instruments 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:   the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 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. 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. 44 21 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Lease liabilities (continued) Financial Instruments (Continued) Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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:   the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 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. 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. 21 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. 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 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. Share-based payments Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation are provided to employees. Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. 22 45 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Share-based payments (continued) The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:  during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.  From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date. All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification. 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, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Revenue and Other Income Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contact with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods of service promised. Sale of Goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. 46 23 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Share-based payments (continued) The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted.

Sale of Goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. 23 Revenue and Other Income (continued) Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or hourly rate. Interest Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial asset. Royalty income 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. 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. 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 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 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. 24 47 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fair Value Measurement (continued) 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. Derivatives not designed 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 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 principle 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 liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset of 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 proceeds. Financial Assets The Group has no significant financial assets held at fair value, not 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. Allowance for expected credit losses The allowance for expected credit losses assessment required a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. 48 25 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fair Value Measurement (continued) 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 Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. New Accounting Standards applicable for future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the Group. 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 (refer to Note 13). The CETO development asset is an intangible asset which is not yet available for use which the Group tests annually for impairment. Refer to Note 13 for details of the significant assumptions and judgements utilised in this assessment. 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 valuation method taking into consideration the terms and conditions upon which the instruments are granted (refer to Note 26).

As there is no longer an active project, the intangible asset value could not be carried forward. The CETO technology has yet to be commercialised and is in the development phase. As it is not yet ready for use, it is necessary to test the asset annually for impairment. The recoverable amount is determined as the fair value less costs to sell and the ‘relief from royalty’ methodology (RRM) is used to determine this amount. 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), and 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. A market-based approach is also rarely applied in the valuation of IP due to lack of comparable transactions of IP from which valuation metrics can be observed and deducted. The basic principle of the relief from royalty methodology (RRM) is that if the intellectual property (IP) is not owned, there would need to be payment 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. In the current year management has prepared a valuation model using the RRM which was then assessed by a suitably qualified independent consultant during the financial year. 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. The development asset in its entirety is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. 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;  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 15-year forecast period with a terminal value has been utilised in the financial model;  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; 31 32 55 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 13: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)  Management estimates of the cost to Carnegie (net of grants and research & development rebates) to commercialise would require an R&D budget of $2 million per year until 2026;   A tax rate of 25% until revenues reach $50m and 30% where revenue is above $50m; A discount rate of 21% derived by applying the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

(2020: net loss $275,522, which included a profit on discontinued operations of $1,536,861). As at 30 June 2021, the Group had net assets of $21,446,335 (2020: $17,862,931). 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, issue 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. 60 37 Carnegie Clean Energy CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 18: SHARE CAPITAL (CONTINUED) NOTE 21: OPERATING SEGMENTS c.

Total NOTE 20: BUSINESS RISK 925,883 963,239 850,000 887,760 The net loss of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 was $931,845, which included a loss on discontinued operations of $99,420. (2020: net loss $275,522, which included a profit on discontinued operations of $1,536,861). As at 30 June 2021, the Group had net assets of $21,446,335 (2020: $17,862,931). 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, issue 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. 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. 2021 Revenue External customers Continuing Operations Discontinued Operations Total segments Adjustments and eliminations Consolidated 60,955 60,955 - - 60,955 60,955 - - 60,955 60,955 2021 Continuing Operations Discontinued Operations Total segments Adjustments and eliminations Consolidated Segment profit/(loss) (832,425) (99,420) (931,845) Total assets Total liabilities 21,911,277 (544,942) - - 21,911,277 (544,942) - - - (931,845) 21,911,277 (544,942) 37 38 61 Annual Report 2021 CARNEGIE CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED ABN 69 009 237 736 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 21: OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONTINUED) 2020 Revenue External customers 2020 Segment loss Total assets Total liabilities Continuing Operations Discontinued Operations Total segments Adjustments and eliminations Consolidated 117,668 117,668 - - 117,668 117,668 - - 117,668 117,668 Continuing Operations (1,812,383) 21,207,899 (3,344,968) Discontinued Operations Total segments 1,536,861 (275,522) - - 21,207,899 (3,344,968) Adjustments and eliminations Consolidated - - - (275,522) 21,207,899 (3,344,968) NOTE 22: RECONCILIATION OF CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS WITH PROFIT/(LOSS) AFTER INCOME TAX Loss after income tax Non-cash flows in loss Depreciation and amortisation Impairment Effect of discontinued operations Government funding capitalised Share based payments Doubtful Debts Group 2021 $ (931,845) 488,379 366,443 (99,420) 1,122,812 108,239 - Changes in assets and liabilities, net of the effects of purchase and disposal of subsidiaries (Increase)/decrease in trade and other receivables (1,229,030) (Decrease)/increase in development assets Increase/(decrease) in trade payables and accruals Increase/(decrease) in provisions Net cashflow from (used in) operations 251,436 76,977 12,922 166,913 2020 $ (275,522) 399,679 - 1,536,861 - - 7,800 1,946,518 (56,435) (4,997,040) (13,532) (1,424,607) NOTE 23: EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Carnegie sold the gold royalty rights held by the Company over part of the Higginsville Gold Project in Western Australia.

GRANT MOONEY Director TERRY STINSON Director Dated this 25th day of August 2021 45 46 69 Annual Report 2021 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the members of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, 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 Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 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 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. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 70 47 Carnegie Clean Energy Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Fair value of intangible assets Refer to Note 13 As at 30 June 2021, the Group has recorded intangible assets with a value of $14,274,621 which relate to capitalised development costs and intellectual property associated with the CETO development asset. This asset is in the development phase and is not yet available for use. Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, intangible assets that are not yet available for use are subject to an annual impairment assessment irrespective of whether indicators of impairment exist. We consider the recoverability of intangible assets to be a key audit matter as it involved complex matters including subjectivity and judgement, it is material to the users’ understanding of the financial statements as a whole and it required significant auditor attention and communication with those charged with governance. Our procedures included but were not limited to the following: • Discussing with management the appropriateness of the methodology and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount. • Considering the determination of the cash- generating unit. • Considered the basis for the cash flow forecasts in the value-in-use modelling. This included consideration of the historical accuracy of previous estimates. • Comparing the discount rate, growth rates and other economic assumptions to available internal and external data; • Determining if the valuation supported the carrying value of the intangible assets. This process included sensitivity analysis performed over critical variables. • Performing our own assessment of impairment indicators based on the provisions of AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. • Assessing the adequacy of financial statement disclosures. 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 Group’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 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. 48 71 Annual Report 2021 Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 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 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 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 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. 72 49 Carnegie Clean Energy 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 2021. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 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.
