Chairman’s Review
Dear Shareholders
I am pleased to present the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. I am also pleased to be able to report that
despite the disruptions presented in the first half of the year from the on-going periodic lock downs and
logistical challenges of the Covid pandemic, and the reduction in royalty revenue in the fourth quarter due
to the Ukraine conflict, the company was able to maintain its profit trajectory over the year.
Delivering a profit result in the face of these unexpected external challenges is validation of the Board and
Executive’s focus on cost reduction and the introduction of more efficient production and administrative
processes since 2019. However, as highlighted in our Financial Report released in August, current world
events and their impact on the global economic outlook have created a significant level of uncertainty,
particularly in our key automotive markets going forward.
The key results for the year include:
•
•
•
•
A decrease of 8.6% in total revenue (including an 11.2% decrease in royalty revenue);
A 7.7 % increase in gross margin on product sales;
A net 14.2% increase in operating expenses; and
An overall Net Profit of $829k excluding the Deferred Tax Benefit of $5,701,507 in relation to
unused tax losses required to be brought to account (* see below).

As a result of the profit earned during the FY 2022 year the net assets of the group have increased from
$3,173,457 at June 2021 to $3,977,724 at June 2022 (excluding the Deferred Tax Asset) with cash and cash
equivalents available to the group of $3,179,549. Outside of standard creditor’s trading terms, the Company
remains debt free. This strong financial base provides us with sufficient working capital to pursue our plans
for revenue growth during this current period of world economic uncertainty.
These plans include a continued focus on our efforts for the balance of FY 2023 to grow PropertyVAULT
revenue streams via its suite of products and services, and securing potential new clients in the
European automotive sector via our new partnership agreement with DataDot South Africa.
The Board is also cognisant of its responsibility to effectively manage the Company’s cash reserve to enhance
shareholder value via capital management activities. Given the priority of revenue growth for the medium
term, and in view of the uncertainties in respect to the overall world economic outlook, the Board has
resolved that for the remainder of FY2023 it will continue its focus on investment in new revenue generating
activities while maintaining the long-term financial stability of the group.
Notwithstanding the current external challenges, your directors are committed to maintaining the significant
progress that has been made towards delivering our vision of creating a sustainable and profitable business
that will provide a solid financial basis to support future growth.

for the year ended 30 June 2022
Directors
The Directors present their report together with the financial statements of the consolidated
entity comprising DataDot Technology Limited and the entities it controlled (the “consolidated
entity”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.
The following persons were directors of DataDot during the financial year and up to the date
of this report, unless otherwise stated:
- Ray Carroll
- Brad Kellas
- David Lloyd
Principal activities
The principal activities of DataDot during the year were:
(a)
to manufacture and distribute asset identification and digital protection solutions
that include:
• DataDotDNA® - polymer and metallic microdots containing data that is
unique to the assets to which the microdots are attached;
• Asset Registers - databases that record asset identification data and are
accessible by law enforcement agencies and insurance investigators, and
• DataDot-VAULT bundled asset protection products and services.
(b)
(c)
to manufacture and distribute high security DataTraceID® authentication solutions; and
To develop and distribute customised solutions combining DataDotDNA®, DataTraceID®,
asset registration and/or other technologies.
There has been no significant change in the nature of the Company’s activities during the
year.
Dividends
The Directors recommend that no dividend be paid. No dividends have been declared or paid
during the period.
Review of operations
The Directors are pleased to report that for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 the Group
earned a statutory net Profit After Tax of $6,521,197. This figure includes an amount of
$5,701,507 of deferred tax assets in relation to unused tax losses of the Australian entities which
are required to be brought to account this year. The underlying trading result for the Group for
the financial year ending 30 June 2022 is a net Profit Before Tax of $829,163.
While the current year profit is down from the previous year of $1,234,982, it is still a significant
improvement compared to the $29,203 net Profit in FY 2020 and the loss of $2.3m in 2019.
Further, the net profit result in FY 2021 included payments under the Federal Governments
various Covid-19 business support schemes. When the benefit of these payments is removed
from the FY 2021 net profit result, a like-for-like comparison sees the FY 2022 underlying net
profit result of $829,163 compared to the FY 2021 underlying net profit result of $1,134,482.

Revenues and Gross Profit Margins
Total revenue for the Group in FY 2022 was $3,561,177, a decrease of 8.6% from FY 2021.
The Group’s overall total product sales declined by approximately 7.7%, total product sales from
the traditional DataDot and Trace products declined around 9.2%, and total sales from DataDot-
VAULT bundled security products and services increased by 21.3%.
Royalties and License Fees form a significant part of the Group’s business model and are
substantially derived from our licensees and distributors overseas. Overall royalty revenues were
down in FY 2022 by 11.2%. This was largely a result of the impact in the last quarter from
international sanctions arising from the conflict in Ukraine and their impact on DataDot South
Africa’s distributor sales in the Russian Federation. The conflict in Ukraine also had flow-on
effects in Europe where there was a significant slow-down in automotive sales during the second
half of the year, which has led to a build-up of excess inventory by key automotive clients.
During 2020 and 2021, major steps were taken by the Board to streamline the Group’s
operations and to reduce costs. As a result of these actions, the Group was able to increase Gross
Margin on its traditional DataDot and Trace product lines by 7.7% compared to FY2021. The
Group expects to be able to maintain these production efficiencies into the future.
Operating Costs
During FY 2020 and FY 2021, the Board’s primary focus was on streamlining the Group’s
operations to achieve significant cost reductions to return the Group to a sustainable profit-
making position. Having completed the restructuring the Group’s operations, FY 2022 saw the
consolidation of that work and reaping the ongoing benefits to reduced operating costs that
arose from the closure of the USA manufacturing and sales facility, and the centralisation of
management to the Sydney office. While total Operating Costs increased from FY 2021 by 14.2%,
they remain well below pre-restructuring levels and the Board’s continued focus in ensuring they
remain under control is a key factor in the Group achieving another overall profit result in
FY 2022.
The increase in Operating Costs over FY 2021 occurred in several key areas. While the Group’s
administration costs were reduced by 17.2%, corporate compliance costs increased by 19.3%
from FY 2021. These costs were largely out of the Group’s control, being fees charged by the
various regulatory bodies (ASX, ASIC) and the need to comply with their requirements. The
biggest increases in operational costs occurred as a result of a decision by the Board to begin
implementing plans to grow the business and in particular seek new business opportunities to
expand the Group’s revenue base. As such, staff salaries increased by 9.2% with the hiring of
new sales staff, and expenditure on promotions and advertising increased by around $55,000.
This expenditure represents the investment that the Group has begun to make in bringing the
bundled DataDot-VAULT security product and service offerings to the market. Moving forward,
the Board will continue to make appropriate investments to aggressively grow the bundled
DataDot-VAULT security product sales and expand its revenue base into new asset classes.
Strong debtors control continued throughout FY 2022 which negated the need for any additional
bad and doubtful debt provisions.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 5 Directors' Report (continued)
for the year ended 30 June 2022
Capital Management
The management of the Group’s cash position remains a key focus of the Directors. The cash and
cash equivalents available to the Group improved during FY 2022 from $2,328,358 to $3,179,549.
As a result, the Group’s liquidity position is very sound and a feature which will be important in
FY 2023 given the current uncertainty in the world economy and the impact the war in Ukraine
is having on business, particularly in Europe.
In FY 2022 there were no debt instruments subject to interest payments and this has made a
further positive contribution to the FY 2022 result.
No new capital raising activities occurred in FY 2022.
As a result of the profit earned during the FY 2022 year, this has again significantly strengthened
the net assets of the Group from $3,173,457 at 30 June 2021 to $3,977,724 at 30 June 2022
(excluding $5,701,507 in deferred tax assets brought to account in relation to unused tax losses
of the Australian entities during the year).
The Board is cognisant of its responsibility to effectively manage its elevated cash balance to
invest in growth opportunities and/or capital management activities while maintaining the long-
term financial stability of the Group.
Outlook
Based on the turnaround in the Company since 2019, our prospects for significant new sales
opportunities in the automotive space, and the positive results achieved up to December 2021,
the Board had good reason to be optimistic in our 2022 second half-year outlook for the growth
of the Company and the pathway to greater revenue generation.
Since that time world events and their impact on the global economic outlook have shifted
dramatically. As advised in our announcements of 31 May 2022 and 26 July 2022 the Company
has been continually assessing the potential for negative impact on its royalty revenue from
these external events. Principally, the conflict in Ukraine and the slowdown in European vehicle
sales as a result of the logistical constraints impacting the vehicle industry. We also flagged that
due to this slowdown, the larger than planned stock holdings by DataDot South Africa’s (DDSA)
distributors’ key European clients was likely to lead to a reduction in new product orders for the
first-half of FY 2023.
Those observations have, at least to the present time, been proven accurate. In addition, the
Board is also cognisant of the potential effect that the significant world-wide surge in inflation
combined with interest rate rises, will have on consumer and business spending going forward.
The full extent of the cumulative impact of these external factors on the company’s revenue will
likely materialise in the first-half FY 2023 profit results which we expect to be negative.
Despite these headwinds, the company still enjoys a very strong financial reserve and is debt-
free so it is well placed to navigate what we believe will be a temporary setback to our growth
trajectory. We anticipate that our automotive related royalties will increase in the second half
of the year with European automotive orders, (excluding Russia), resuming once current stocks
are utilised. We therefore expect an improvement in the second half which will return us to a
positive profit result by year end.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 6
Directors' Report (continued)
for the year ended 30 June 2022
Nevertheless, due to the on-going international sanctions against Russia, it is unlikely that
royalties from our current licensees and distributors in the automotive space will reach their pre-
conflict levels without expansion of our automotive customer base; particularly in Europe and
the United Kingdom where the most promising potential for expansion exists and we have been
working towards securing a potential OEM customer.
For this reason, we have built on our existing strategic and cooperative partnership with DDSA
by extending our distribution agreement to give DDSA access (except where existing distributor
agreements are in force) to potential clients in the automotive manufacturing sector worldwide.
South Africa is the only country in the world where fitting microdot identification to vehicles is
compulsory. This gives DDSA the advantage of enjoying existing commercial relationships with a
very wide cross-section of OEM automotive companies. DDSA is well placed to leverage this
advantage in the pursuit of new customers in the world-wide OEM market now that they are free
of the geographic constraints of their previous territory agreements.
We expect our direct automotive sales channels, principally Subaru in Australia and DataDot
Dealer Services in the US to remain relatively constant throughout FY 2023.
Our non-automotive micro-dot sales, which are sold through our U.K. subsidiary to a variety of
re-sellers in the U.K. and Europe saw a decline of $384k in the period compared to FY 2021. This
was primarily the result of a long-term customer ceasing their micro-dot security program in the
first half of FY 2022. However, based on securing a new volume customer and expected increases
in forward orders from existing customers, it is expected that this shortfall will be recovered over
FY 2023.
Throughout FY 2022, the Company continued to pursue new bespoke consumer and industrial
product applications for its Trace product; including those where negotiations and testing with
potential customers commenced in the previous year. While remaining promising, most of these
individual applications require significant work with the potential clients to prove out their in-
house processes, engineering requirements and testing regimes before they will commit to a
supply contract.
As previously advised, sales to these clients remains dependent on their commencement date
and the client’s eventual success in their own market spheres, however there is reason to be
optimistic that some of these supply contracts will come to fruition in FY 2023.
Work has continued throughout the period to facilitate revenue generation via our partnership
with PropertyVAULT. With the recent appointment of an experienced sales representative, we
are focusing on an accelerated roll-out of PropertyVAULT’s business model going forward. This
includes replicating the BikeVAULT model with adaptions to suit multiple property categories
through bespoke identification kits and related security products (the bundled DataDot-VAULT
products) via direct on-line sales, wholesaler or manufacturing agreements and retail offerings.
The Board has been aware for some time of the need of the Group to diversify its revenue base
and to reduce its reliance upon the automotive industry. Over the past few years, the Board has
been focused upon restructuring the Group’s operations to return the business to achieving
consistent ongoing profitability and building its cash reserves. The task of restructuring the
business has largely now been completed. As a consequence, in FY2023 the Board intends to
begin executing its strategy to broadening its revenue base by seeking to pursue sales of its
traditional products into different asset classes outside of the automotive industry as well as
seek new revenue streams through the provision of complimentary services.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 7
Directors' Report (continued)
for the year ended 30 June 2022
This includes pursuing commercial arrangements with specialty insurers to incorporate
insurance related incentives into our product offerings, including seeking to generate
significantly greater advertising and referral revenue streams. For the higher valued classes of
insured property such as marine, caravans, plant and equipment and specialty vehicles, we will
be seeking to establish more formal arrangements for the recovery of stolen insured property
and related salvage service charges.
Notwithstanding the external challenges that have emerged since the start of the year and the
normal caveats associated with developing and securing new and prospective revenue
opportunities, the Board is committed to pursuing all potential strategic opportunities to grow
value for all shareholders and remains optimistic regarding the future growth of the Company
and its prospects for greater revenue generation.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Other than as set out in the Review of Operations there have been no significant changes in the
state of affairs of the group.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Covid 19 pandemic has continued to provide an uncertain business environment since the
end of the financial year on 30 June 2022.
In addition, the war in Ukraine has resulted in a significant disruption to the Group’s
European customer base and its continuing impact on the Group’s FY 2023 performance
have been outlined above.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly
affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those
operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs.
Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulations under
Australian Commonwealth or State Law.

Director profiles
Mr Raymond Carroll
Chairman – appointed 13 May 2019
Ray was the driving force behind the establishment and success of Australia’s National Motor
Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) and served as its Executive Director for over 19
years. He is an internationally recognised authority on developing and implementing strategic
solutions to crime issues and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice Administration.
In his former role, Ray devised the world’s first comprehensive criteria and performance
specification for whole of vehicle marking. His endorsement and advocacy for DataDot’s micro-
dot identification system nationally and internationally was the catalyst for the acceptance and
growth of micro-dot identification in multiple markets across the world.
Ray’s appointment brings to the Company an unsurpassed level of experience in fostering
collaboration across multiple industry sectors, government agencies and the community sector
to achieve desired outcomes. Ray secured and managed over $40 million dollars in direct
funding to the NMVTRC and generated over $600 million expenditure by government agencies
and motor related industries to implement NMVTRC facilitated reforms. During his tenure,
vehicle crime in Australia reduced by over 70% delivering on-going insurance and community
savings of more than $400 million per year in vehicle crime related costs.
Mr Bradley Charles Kellas
Managing Director – appointed 13 May 2019
Brad is the founder of Property Vault International Pty Ltd and a decorated former Detective
from the Victoria Police with 21 years’ experience. For most part of his policing career he
specialised in organised crime, corporate fraud, kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, product
contamination and large-scale stolen property investigations.
Post his policing career, he used his entrepreneurial, investigative and analytical skills to
develop a unique trading strategy capitalising on global market fluctuations and worked full
time as a successful proprietary trader for a large investment firm for 5 years.
In 2015, Brad saw the opportunity that social media and a custom-built platform combined
with a specialist service could have on countering bike theft and property crime in general. In
late 2015, he put his trading career on hold and commenced a fulltime commitment to
developing the BikeVAULT website (prelude to PropertyVAULT) coupled to a specialist victim
and police service solution. BikeVAULT is now the number one platform and service to counter
bike theft in Australia, with recoveries exceeding $1.5 million.
Understanding the integral relationship of both physical and digital identification to combat
crime, Brad saw the value proposition of an alignment with DataDot, which subsequently
resulted in him becoming the largest shareholder with a 17.05% holding and instigating an EGM
in May 2019, which resulted in the change of management and direction of DataDot.

for the year ended 30 June 2022
Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)
Remuneration policy
Key Management Personnel (KMP) have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and
controlling the activities of DataDot. KMP include only the directors of the parent entity, one of
whom (Mr Kellas) is the Managing Director / CEO, and the CFO.
Remuneration levels of KMP are determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Committee’s charter is to review and make recommendations to the Board in relation to:
- Executive remuneration and incentive policy,
- The remuneration of the CEO, executive directors and all direct reports of the CEO,
- Executive incentive plans,
- The remuneration of non-executive directors,
- Retention, performance assessment and termination policies and procedures for
non-executive directors, the CEO, executive directors and all direct reports of the CEO,
- Establishment and oversight of employee and executive share plans and share option
plans and share loan plans,
- Superannuation arrangements,
- The disclosure of remuneration in DDT’s publications, including ASX filings and the Annual
Report,
- Board composition, having regard to necessary and desirable competencies,
- Board succession plans, and
- Evaluation of Board performance.
The Committee did not obtain a remuneration recommendation or other advice from a
remuneration consultant in FY 2022.
Board policy for determining the composition and value of remuneration for KMP’s comprises the
following elements:
- Remuneration to contribute to the broader outcome of creating shareholder value,
- Remuneration to be commensurate with individual duties and responsibilities,
- Remuneration to be market competitive in order to attract, retain and motivate people of the
highest quality,
- Remuneration to be aligned with DataDot’s business strategies and financial targets,
- Executives’ remuneration to comprise fixed and variable components,
- Variable components to be tied to the attainment of both short-term and long-term
performance targets of individuals and DataDot,
- Variable components of executive remuneration to be between 30% and 50% of the value of
total remuneration,
- Variable component payment to be subject to DataDot’s financial capacity, and
- This policy to apply uniformly across DataDot.
In relation to non-executive directors, the Constitution of DataDot and ASX Listing Rules specify
that aggregate remuneration shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The
latest determination was at the 2004 AGM when shareholders approved a ceiling on aggregate
remuneration of $300,000 per annum. The actual amount payable is currently $60,000pa plus
SGL at 10.0% for Mr Carroll, the Chairman of the Board, and $25,000pa plus SGL at 10.0% for
Mr Lloyd.

for the year ended 30 June 2022
Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)
Remuneration policy (continued)
Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance related remuneration and directors’ fees
cover both main board and committee activities. Directors of Group subsidiary companies do not
receive directors’ fees. The Managing Director was paid $200,913 plus SGL during FY 2022.
The Company has cancelled all STI and LTI programs in operation at 13 May 2019 and will look to
implement a new and more effective STI and LTI program once the Company returns to
sustainable profitability.
Relationship between remuneration and consolidated entity performance
The effect of remuneration policy on DataDot’s financial performance and on shareholder value is
central to the Board’s and Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s decisions. For this reason,
a primary objective of remuneration policy is to tie the remuneration of KMP to financial
performance, so ensuring that a significant proportion of the total remuneration of KMP is at-risk,
short-term incentive payments (STI) being tied to net profit targets, and long-term incentive
payments (LTI) being tied to growth in shareholder value. In this respect, the key factors for
consideration are continuing product development and improvement, business and revenue
growth, developing and maintaining the appropriate corporate culture, strategic adjustments in
consultation with the Board and maintenance of an efficient cost base.

Performance based remuneration
At the date of this report, the remuneration of KMP who are non-executive directors includes only a
fixed remuneration component.
No STI or LTI programme for KMP’s has been implemented pending the return to sustainable
profitability of the Company. Any STI or LTI programme when implemented with shareholder
approval, may include performance shares, share options or share rights. No performance shares or
share rights or share options are currently on issue to non-executive directors. The grant of

Segment Information
Operating Segments
Segment descriptions
DataDot has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating
decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
Management has reviewed the segments and determined the group is organised into business units based on their product and services and accordingly has two
reportable segments. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly
basis.
Products and services by segment
Three reportable segments have been identified as follows:
DataDotDNA® – polymer and metallic microdots containing etched data that is unique to the assets to which the microdots are attached
and registered in the Vault databases that record the asset identification data and are accessible by law enforcement agencies and
insurance investigators;
DataTraceID® – a high speed, high security, machine readable system for authenticating materials, products, and assets;
DataDot-Vault® bundled offerings (DDV APPS)– asset protection products and services, and databases that record the asset identification
data and are accessible by law enforcement agencies and insurance investigators.
Accounting policies and intersegment transactions
The accounting policies used by DataDot in reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in the prior period. Intersegment pricing is determined on
an arm’s length basis. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The potential deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and temporary differences have only been recognised where it is probable that the future taxable
profit will be available against which tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets currently recognised relates to DataDot Technology Limited, DataDot Technology
(Australia) Limited and DataTraceID Pty Limited where future taxable profit is expected. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is
recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.
There is no deferred tax liabilities in other tax jurisdictions
Tax consolidation
DataDot Technology Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidated legislation as of 1 July 2003.
The head entity, DataDot Technology Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax
amounts. As DataDot is in a cumulative tax loss position, DataDot has not applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current
taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, DataDot Technology Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets
arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group when it is probable that future taxable profit will
allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
DataDot Technology Limited has not entered into any tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities.

Impairment of receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision
for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The loss allowance provision as at 30 June 2022 is determined as follows, the expected
credit losses incorporate forward looking information

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL). The ECL on trade receivables are estimated
using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are
specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast
direction of conditions at the reporting date.
There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of
recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings or when the trade receivables are over 2 years past due,
whichever occurs first.

Accounting treatment
Inventories including raw materials and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows :
Raw materials – purchase cost on either the weighted average cost or on first‑in, first‑out basis; and
Finished goods – cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of variable and fixed manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale. Inventory is written down through an obsolescence provision if necessary.

Accounting treatment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated over the useful life of the asset using a combination of straight ‑line basis and diminishing value method. The estimated useful lives of office
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Derecognition
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included
in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Trade and other payables are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 30 days. The carrying value of trade and other payables is considered a
reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of the balances.
Accounting treatment
The Group measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
The financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade payables.
Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.
Cash flows in the Statement of financial position are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities
which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave in the period in which the related service is rendered at
the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
related service.
The current provision for all employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service. The amount is
presented as current since the consolidated entity does not have unconditional right to defer settlement. However based on past experience, the consolidated entity
does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued annual and long service leave within the next twelve months.
(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in
provisions in respect of employees’ service up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by
employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality Australian corporate bonds with
terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

conditions) is included in Other Provisions.
Accounting treatment
Provisions are recognised when DataDot has a present obligation (legal or constructive) when, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the
risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is
the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on
the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. On a show of hands every
member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Capital Management
When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. The capital risk
management policy remains unchanged from 30 June 2021 Annual Report.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds.

Contingent Liabilities
Guarantees
DataDot has issued bank guarantees of $34,375 (2021: $34,375). No liability was recognised by DataDot in relation to the bank guarantee as the fair value of the
guarantee is immaterial.
Theft deterrent system rebate contingencies
Under an agreement with an Australian motor vehicle distributor, DataDot has agreed to remit the theft excess (to a maximum of $800) payable by automobile owners
in the event that vehicles are stolen and remain unrecovered (subject to certain conditions). A provision has been made (refer Note 15 Provisions). The estimate is
based on the probability of vehicles being stolen and unrecovered and claims being made. Should these estimates prove incorrect then an adjustment may have to be
made to either increase or decrease the amount due and payable.
Tax related contingencies - transfer pricing
DataDot has offshore operations in the United Kingdom and has recently closed its operations in United States but retains the business which it services out of
Australia. There are intra Group transactions, which include DataDot and its subsidiaries. These transactions are on an arm's length basis and are conducted at normal
market prices and on normal commercial terms.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Financial Risk Management
for the year ended 30 June 2022
DataDot's principal financial instruments comprise finance leases and cash and short‑term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance
for DataDot’s operations. DataDot has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its
operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, DataDot’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising
from DataDot’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for
managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Risk Exposures and Responses
The main risks DataDot is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and foreign currency
risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The group is not subject to any interest rate risk. Convertible notes previously issued at a fixed interest rate have been redeemed.
Foreign exchange risk
As a result of significant investment in wholly‑owned controlled entities in the United States and the United Kingdom, DataDot’s statement of financial position can be
affected significantly by movements in the exchange rates. DataDot does not seek to hedge this exposure.
DataDot also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit’s functional
currency. As each of the individual entities within the Group primarily transact in their own respective currency, foreign currency risk is deemed to be minimal.
DataDot does require its operating units to use forward currency contracts to eliminate the currency exposures on any individual transactions in excess of $100,000 for
which payment is anticipated more than one month after DataDot has entered into a firm commitment for a sale or purchase. There has been no such transaction
during the year. It is DataDot's policy not to enter into forward contracts until a firm commitment is in place and to negotiate the terms of the hedge derivatives to
exactly match the terms of the hedged item to maximise hedge effectiveness.
Price risk
DataDot's exposure to commodity price risk is minimal.
Credit risk
DataDot trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it DataDot's policy to securitise its trade and other
receivables.
It is DataDot's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored
on an ongoing basis with the result that DataDot's exposure to bad debts is not significant. There has been no change to credit risk since initial recognition.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of DataDot and DataDot’s subsequent ability to meet their obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when
they fall due.
DataDot’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of loans, convertible notes, finance leases and hire purchase
contracts. DataDot manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flow and maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management's expectations
The risk implied from the values shown in the tables below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Leasing obligations, trade payables and other
financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used in our ongoing operations such as plant and equipment and investments in working capital (e.g.
inventories and trade receivables). These assets are considered in DataDot’s overall liquidity risk.

Share rights are granted by the Board, under the DataDot Technology Executive Share Rights Plan, on such terms and conditions as the Board determines, to eligible
employees. A grant of share rights does not confer any right or interest in shares until all terms and conditions have been satisfied. They confer no voting rights. At
pre-determined vesting intervals, subject to grantees satisfying the terms and conditions of grant, including continuous employment, each share right provides an
entitlement to the issue of one ordinary share in the Company.
2,000,000 Share Rights issued to former CFO Patrick Raper, outstanding at the end of last financial year, and which had been approved by the Board
for vesting, were exercised on 25 August 2021.
No options were issued in FY21 and FY22 and all Options previously issued have now expired.
Accounting treatment
Share based payment transactions - when applicable
Equity settled transactions:
No new Share Based Payments have been provided by DataDot during the year. A legacy amount of $5,376 was taken up in 2020 as the final cost
associated with the now terminated Share Issue and Loan Scheme.
DataDot had a share-based payments scheme whereby the company provided benefits to its employees (including KMP) in the form of share ‑based
payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for rights over shares (equity‑settled transactions).
The Executive Share Rights Plan (ESRP) (when operative) provides benefits to senior executives of DataDot.
The cost of equity‑settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they
are granted.
For share options granted during any year, the cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on the grant date. Fair value is independently determined
using the 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.
For shares issued under the share loan scheme during any year, the cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on the grant date. Fair value is
independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the scheme, 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 scheme,
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.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 40
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2022
The cost of equity‑settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service
conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of:
(i) The grant date fair value of the award.
(ii)
The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover
during the vesting period and the likelihood of non‑market performance conditions being met.
(iii) The expired portion of the vesting period.
The charge to the statement of profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There
is a corresponding entry to equity.
Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated. Any award subject to a
market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.
If the terms of an equity‑settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is
recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share ‑based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured
at the date of modification.
If an equity‑settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had expired on the date of cancellation. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as
described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see Note 8).

Extension options
for the year ended 30 June 2022
A number of the building leases contain extension options which allow the Group to extend the lease term by up to twice the original non-cancellable period of the
lease.
The Group includes options in the leases to provide flexibility and certainty to the Group operations and reduce costs of moving premises and the extension options
are at the Group's discretion.
At commencement date and each subsequent reporting date, the Group assesses where it is reasonably certain that the extension options will be exercised.

Accounting treatment
For current year
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a lease exists - i.e. does the contract convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.
This involves an assessment of whether:
- The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be explicitly or implicitly identified within the agreement. If the supplier has a substantive substitution
right then there is no identified asset.
- The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use.
- The Group has the right to direct the use of the asset i.e. decision making rights in relation to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.
Lessee Accounting
The non-lease components included in the lease agreement have been separated and are recognised as an expense as incurred.
At the lease commencement, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods
where the Group believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments,
estimated cost of removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of assets accounting
policy.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in
the lease, however where this cannot be readily determined then the Group's incremental borrowing rate is used.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured whether
there is a lease modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a change in the Group's assessment
of lease term.
Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Exceptions to lease accounting
The Group elected to apply the exceptions to lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of low-
value assets. The Group recognises the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Prior Period Error
for the year ended 30 June 2022
During the financial year ended 30 June 2022 the Group discovered that the foreign exchange impact on the inter-company loans to DataDot Technology USA Inc had
not been written-down and the net balance taken up against retained earnings when those inter-company loans were written-off during the financial year ended 30
June 2020. The error has been corrected by writing off the value of foreign currency translation reserve of $1,749,551 in relation to inter-company loans, thereby
increasing the opening balance of the foreign currency translation reserve at 1 July 2020 from ($1,729,743) to $19,807, and allocating this amount to the opening
accumulated losses, increasing the opening balance of accumulated losses at 1 July 2020 from $37,640,898 to $39,390,449.
There is no impact on the Group's basic or diluted earnings per share, and no impact on the total operating, investing or financing cash flows for the years ended 30
June 2020, 2021 and 2022.
30
Events after the reporting period
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of it's
operations or the state of affairs in future financial years.

Summary of other significant accounting policies
(a) Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the
parent entity is disclosed in Note 28.
(b) Principles of consolidation
Interests in associates and joint ventures are equity accounted and are not part of the Consolidated Group.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the
consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra ‑group transactions have
been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by DataDot and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
from DataDot.
Profits / Losses are attributed to the non‑controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the
carrying amounts of the controlling interest and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the
adjustment to non-controlling interests and the consideration paid or received is recognised as a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of DataDot
Technology Limited.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary
together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the
fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Summary of other significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Both the functional and presentation currency of DataDot Technology Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($). Each entity in DataDot determines
its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
The functional currencies of the overseas subsidiaries are:
Name of overseas subsidiaries
DataDot Technology USA Inc
DataDot Technology (UK) Ltd
Transactions and balances
Functional currency
United States Dollar (US$)
Great Britain Pound (£)
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at balance date.
Non‑monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non‑monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of Group Companies functional currency to presentation currency
The results of the overseas subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars (presentation currency) as at the date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities are
translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of DataDot Technology Limited at the rate of
exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.
Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. These variations are recognised in the statement
of comprehensive income in the period.
(d) Revenue recognition
The Group has accounts for revenue in accordance with AASB 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”. The core principle of the standard is that the Group 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.
Determining the transaction price
The Group’s revenue is derived from fixed price agreements and therefore the amount of revenues to be earned from each agreement is determined by reference to
those fixed prices. There is no variable consideration with these agreements.
Allocation of amounts to performance obligations
For most agreements, there is only one performance obligation and a fixed unit price for the good or service provided. As such, there is no judgement involved in the
allocation of amounts specific performance obligations. In those instances where there is more than one performance obligation, the unit price is clearly defined and is
allocated against the specific performance obligation. Some goods sold by the Group include warrantees which require the Group to either replace or mend a defective
product during the warranty period if the goods fail to comply with agreed-upon specifications. In accordance with AASB 15, such warranties are not accounted for as
separate obligations and hence no revenue is allocated to them.
(i) Sale of goods
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at a point in time when the Group have met all of their performance obligations including delivery. There is limited judgement in
identifying the point control passes; once the goods have left the warehouse or are delivered, depending on the type of good. The group will have a present right to
payment and retains none of the significant risk and rewards of the goods.
(ii) Rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised on an over time basis based on stage of completion of the contract.
(iii) Royalties
Revenue is recognised at a point in time when the underlying goods are sold. Fixed rate manufacturing royalties are recognised over the period of the underlying
agreement.
(iv) Licence fee
Licence fees are recognised over time in line with the invoice period. Performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is a faithful depiction of the transfer of
services, as customers simultaneously receive and consume services provided over the invoiced period.
(v) Interest income
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the
interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected
life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 45 Notes to the Financial Statements
(e) Financial instruments
for the year ended 30 June 2022
Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Financial Assets
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification
On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories, those measured at:
- amortised cost
- fair value through other comprehensive income - equity instrument (FVOCI - equity)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
Amortised cost
Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where:
- the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Group's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.
Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:
- financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows
expected to be received. This is applied using a probability weighted approach.
Trade receivables
Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets have been determined using the simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an estimation of lifetime expected
credit losses. The Group have determined the probability of non-payment of the receivable and contract asset and multiplied this by the amount of the expected loss
arising from default.
The amount of the impairment is recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in finance expense. Once the receivable is determined to be
uncollectable then the gross carrying amount is written off against the associated allowance.
Where the Group renegotiates the terms of trade receivables due from certain customers, the new expected cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest
rate and any resulting difference to the carrying value is recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Impairment of other financial assets measured at amortised cost are determined using the expected credit loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, an
estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses
are estimated and recognised.
Financial liabilities
The Group measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
The financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade payables and convertible notes.
(f) Adoption of new accounting standards
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
DataDot Technology LimitedAnnual Report 2022Page 46 Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2022
(g) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses.
Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result
of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions and conditions.
Impairment of non‑financial assets
DataDot assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to DataDot and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment.
These include product and manufacturing performance, technology, economic and political environments and future product expectations. If an impairment trigger
exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Given the current uncertain economic environment management considered that the indicators of
impairment were significant enough and as such these assets have been tested for impairment in this financial period.
Capitalised development costs
Development costs are only capitalised by DataDot when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the
asset will be available for use or sale.
Taxation
DataDot's accounting policy for taxation requires management's judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an
operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial
position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered
more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. These
depend on estimates of future production and sales volumes, operating costs, restoration costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management
transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty,
hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
recognised on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all
of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of
profit or loss.
Share‑based payment transactions
DataDot measures the cost of equity‑settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are
granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity‑settled share‑based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and finite intangible assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms (for
leased equipment). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful
life are made when considered necessary.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in Note 14, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the
present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimate
of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

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 Company in accordance with 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
