Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
During 2017 financial year the Company was initially focused on growing the number of telecommunication companies
that would take the Dubber Platform to market. Whilst this remained a key strategy, the second half of the year saw the
Company turn its attention to growing the size of our end user customer base with the appointment of account managers
to facilitate the process.
The Dubber product offering comprises a unique Platform as a Service targeted at the telecommunications service
provider sector. The Dubber Platform enables the service provider to offer a totally scalable call recording service which
also provides the ability to capture voice data across a telco network. Voice data is a content rich asset which has not
been captured before in such a fashion and provides for the integration of applications which can use that data for
endless commercial benefits. Dubber’s own intelligence suite ‘Zoe’ provides a set of analytics tools which extract the
value of the data in the recorded calls and presents service providers and their end users with such opportunity.
We have seen market conditions move in the Company’s favour and believe this will continue over the next several
years. Increased regulatory requirements across many industries and territories include two notable examples: MIFID ii
regulations in Europe and Dodd Frank in North America. These regulations govern how, amongst other provisions,
companies in certain Financial Service sectors must create, store and manage recordings of communications.
In the telecommunications industry more broadly service providers are moving quickly to cloud based services. Industry
analysts are recommending that service providers take into account two factors when developing their future strategies
for products and value-added services namely:
Speed to market
Potential for the application to integrate with users’ other applications on a device of choice.
This trend has seen a shift in the traditional approach for service providers to develop their own proprietary offerings
since these two requirements are significant competitive barriers. The industry, therefore, recognises that its core asset
is its customer base and aims to service and maintain those customers with value-added services that meet these two
criteria.
Dubber is a unique Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering which meets these criteria and more. The Company believes
that its recent landmark agreements with AT&T and Broadsoft’s BroadCloud Carrier Platform demonstrate this position.
Over the next financial year, the Company will continue to build on the approach of deploying account managers to
assist service providers with the implementation of Dubber’s Platform to their customers. Currently, these account
managers are engaged with many enterprise customers of our service provider partners, with the target of increasing
users and monthly recurring revenue.
Additionally, the Company intends to continue in deploying its service as the network enabled recording platform for as
many telecommunications carriers as possible, to position Dubber as the global backbone of recording.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all staff and contractors for their contribution to the continuing
development of the Company. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Pawlowitsch
Chairman

Review of Operations
The Company’s key areas of focus have been:
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
-
-
Targeting twenty telecommunications service providers by the end of calendar year of 2016, with the Company
reaching eighteen at this time and reaching the twenty mark during the March quarter. This has provided the
Company with the foundation for the Company’s future, both in terms of users and revenues.
In December 2016, the Company raised $6.3m which has been utilised to support the Company’s expansion in
North America, establish a team of dedicated on-site tier-one service provider account executives, to accelerate
the uptake of Dubber’s revolutionary “Dubber Playback” and “Zoe” intelligence suite product offerings as well as
for other general corporate purposes.
Business Activities & Outlook
During the year the Company focused on two ambitions in a time where the telecommunications sector as a whole
moved increasingly towards Cloud provision of services.
Continuing to build a global backbone of call recording.
The Company had stated ambitions of achieving service provision agreements with 20 telecommunications service
providers by the end of December 2016. The Company achieved 18 such contracts in the time frame, achieving its stated
goal in the subsequent quarter. These agreements were procured mainly in two markets, Asia-Pacific and Europe.
In the March quarter the Company established a North American base in Atlanta to meet demand in that market
following the BroadSoft Connections event in November 2016. The Company has procured five agreements in this
market to date. The Company’s US strategy achieved landmark validation having being chosen to provide recording
services for AT&T Collaborate.
The Company has continued to sign agreements with telecommunications companies in Europe and Asia Pacific which
will underpin the Company’s growth in those markets.
Dubber’s cloud recording platform has been interoperable with BroadSoft BroadWorks since May 2015. This means that
Dubber is able to offer a compelling technology solution for telecommunications providers who have deployed this
infrastructure on a case by case basis.
Dubber has now finalised an agreement whereby it will be the native recording service on BroadSoft’s BroadCloud Carrier
platform. The Company believes that this will be a key agreement given the industry move towards Cloud Platform as a
Service and BroadSoft’s preeminent position in that market. In particular, the agreement provides for Dubber’s service
to be enabled as a standard feature for all end users of the BroadCloud Carrier managed platform ‘On Demand’. The
Company believes that this provides the opportunity to generate revenues across all its subscription plans from ‘On
Demand’ to ‘Reserved’ and those incorporating its analytics suite, as the customers determine their usage requirements.
Dubber’s strategy is to continue to procure agreements with telecommunications service providers to take advantage
of prevailing market conditions as set out below.

Growing User Numbers and Revenues
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s strategy has been to secure a quorum of agreements and then grow user numbers and revenues from
those agreements. In the March quarter the Company employed personnel at an account management level to facilitate
this strategy. The Company has experienced steady growth as a direct result of this activity. Growth is achieved,
primarily, by two means, organic growth within a customer base and the migration of existing recording users from
legacy systems to the Dubber enabled recording service. The Company expects this trend to continue as a result of recent
agreements completed.
To date, user numbers have been linked with Dubber’s ‘Reserved’ offering whereby a user records all calls and maintains
them in the Dubber platform. Telecommunications service providers who already provide recording services on legacy
systems may have contractual obligations in place with their customers. When migrating the customers to the new
Dubber enabled service, that service may be in the form of a ‘limited version’ of the Dubber service in order to meet the
existing retail price points. Typically this may involve limitations such as numbers of calls to be recorded in a time frame,
storage capacity or other functionality. The Company has a strategy to encourage all users to eventually move towards
the ‘Reserved’ plan, believing that all recordings should be maintained perpetually in order to extract value form the
data to improve things such as business performance and workflow.
Dubber’s core design enables a flexibility regarding provision of services and subsequent billing. An example of the
Company’s strategy is to promote the enabling of a large group of users or, indeed, an entire customer base on Dubber’s
‘On Demand’ plan with a view to determining user cases which drive usage across that broad base. Typically this would
mean that Dubber receives a nominal revenue per month from every user with more substantial revenues derived from
a variety of ‘bundled inclusion’ plans determined by the customers’ usage. As the service will be already enabled and
therefore, does not need to be ‘switched on’, the ability to drive those user cases can be managed systematically.
Dubber’s long term strategy is to deploy its service across a broad network of telecommunications customer bases, all
of which have substantial voice calls running across its services. This would provide a unique and content rich data set,
if captured and provide the potential for the ‘Big Data’ applications for which Dubber’s platform is designed. Whilst many
of these applications will be provided by third parties in the long term, Dubber has deployed its own intelligence suite
‘Zoe’ into some of its current telecommunications partners with great initial success.
Market Conditions
There are two prevailing market conditions that impact the Company over the next 12 months and beyond.
There is substantial growth in regulatory requirements across many industries and territories. Two notable examples are
the MIFID ii regulations in Europe and Dodd Frank in North America. These govern how, amongst other provisions,
companies in certain Financial Service sectors must create and manage recordings of communications. An example, with
MIFID ii in Europe, is whereby all affected businesses must record calls and maintain storage of those recordings for a
minimum of seven years. This is currently creating disruption in the industry and providing opportunity for
telecommunications service providers if they can deliver a service in time.
The most compelling market trend is likely to be in the telecommunications industry where service providers appear to
be moving quickly to cloud services. Industry analysts are recommending that service providers take into account two
factors when developing their future strategies for products and value added services namely:
Speed to market
Potential for the application to integrate with the user’s other applications on a device of choice.
This has seen a shift in the propensity for service providers to develop their own proprietary offerings since these two
requirements are significant barriers. The industry, therefore, recognises that its core asset is its customer base and aims
to service and maintain those customers with value added services that meet these two criterion.
Dubber is a unique Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering which meets these criterion and more. The Company believes
that its recent landmark agreements demonstrate this position.

Over the next financial year, the Company will continue to build on the approach of deploying account managers to
assist telcos with implementing Dubber Platform to their customers. Currently, these account managers are engaged
with many enterprise customers of our telco partners with the target of increasing users and monthly recurring revenue
moving from ‘potential’ to ‘billing’.
In addition the Company intends to continue in deploying its service as the network enabled recording platform for as
many telcos as possible to position Dubber as the global backbone of recording.

Other persons that fulfilled the role of a key management person during the year, are as follows:
James Slaney
Chris Jackson
Adrian Di Pietrantonio General Manager, Channels

Chief Technology Officer
Overview of remuneration policies
The Board as a whole is responsible for considering remuneration policies and packages applicable both to directors and
executives of the Consolidated Entity.
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
Company and the Consolidated Entity, including directors of the Company and other executives. Key management
personnel comprise the directors of the Company, and executives for the Company and the Consolidated Entity including
the key management personnel.
Broadly, remuneration levels for key management personnel of the Company and key management personnel of the
Consolidated Entity are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and
executives and reward the achievement of strategic objectives. The Board has not obtained independent advice at this
time on the appropriateness of remuneration packages of both the Company and the Consolidated Entity.
Remuneration packages consist of fixed remuneration including base salary, employer contributions to superannuation
funds and non-cash benefits.
The Company has a variable remuneration package for directors, which involves Performance Shares. This plan allows
directors to convert Performance Shares to fully paid ordinary shares for nil cash consideration, subject to performance
based vesting conditions.
Bonuses were paid to Mr Steve McGovern ($60,000), Mr James Slaney ($20,000) and Mr Adrian Di Pietrantonio
($30,000). Mr McGovern’s bonuses are awarded for achieving key performance indicators as determined by the Board
on a six monthly basis. Mr McGovern received 80% of his bonus for the period July to December 2016 and nil for the
period January to June 2017. The bonuses for Mr Slaney and Mr Pietrantonio were paid for achieving key performance
indicators set by the Managing Director for achieving sales and operating targets.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges
related to employee benefits including motor vehicle), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers individual, segment and overall
performance of the Consolidated Entity. The Board has regard to remuneration levels external to the Consolidated Entity
to ensure the directors’ and executives’ remuneration is competitive in the market place.
Executive directors are employed full time and receive fixed remuneration in the form of salary and statutory
superannuation or consultancy fees, commensurate with their required level of services.
Non-executive directors, unless otherwise specified by any non-executive and consultancy service agreement in place,
receive a fixed monthly fee for their services. Where non-executive directors provide services materially outside their
usual Board duties, they are remunerated on an agreed retainer or daily rate basis.
Service agreements
It is the Consolidated Entity’s policy that service agreements for key management personnel are unlimited in term but
capable of termination on 3 months’ notice and that the Consolidated Entity retains the right to terminate the service
agreements immediately, by making payment equal to 3 months’ pay in lieu of notice.
The service agreement outlines the components of compensation paid to key management personnel but does not
prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed annually on a date as
close as possible to 30 June of each year to take into account key management personnel’s performance.
Certain key management personnel will be entitled to bonuses as the Board may decide in its absolute discretion from
time to time, to a maximum of 50% of the key management personnel’s annual base salary per annum.
Non-Executive Directors
Total remuneration for all non-executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting,
is not to exceed $500,000 per annum and has been set at a level to enable the Company to attract and retain suitably
qualified directors. The Company does not have any scheme relating to retirement benefits for non-executive directors.
Relationship between the remuneration policy and Company performance
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives.
Two methods have been applied to achieve this aim, the first being a performance-based rights subject to performance
based vesting conditions, and the second being the issue of options or shares to key management personnel to encourage
the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.
Share-based payment arrangements
Options
The Company operates an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) for executives and senior employees of the
Consolidated Entity. In accordance with the provisions of the ESOP, executives and senior employees may be granted
options to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price to be determined by the Board with regard to the market value
of the shares when it resolves to offer the options. The options may only be granted to eligible persons after the Board
considers the person’s seniority, position, length of service, record of employment, potential contribution and any other
matters which the Board considers relevant.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or
payable to the Company by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting
rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
The number of options granted is determined by the Board.
To date, options granted under the ESOP expire within thirty six months of their issue, or immediately on the resignation
of the executive or senior employee, whichever is the earlier.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
Shares
The directors, at their discretion, may issue shares to participants under the Employee Share Plan (“ESP”) at any time,
having regard to relevant considerations such as the participant’s past and potential contribution to the Company, and
their period of employment with the Company. Directors of the Company, full-time employees and part-time employees
of the Group who hold a salaried employment or office in the Group, are eligible to participate in the ESP.
Plan shares may be issued at an issue price to be determined by the Board, which may be a nominal or nil issue price if
so determined by the Board. The number of plan shares issued is determined by the Board.
The plan shares are issued on the same terms as the fully paid ordinary shares of the Company and rank equally with all
of the Company’s then existing shares.
The Board may impose conditions in an offer of plan shares that must be satisfied (unless waived by the Board in its
absolute discretion) before the plan shares to which the condition applies can be sold, transferred, assigned, charged or
otherwise encumbered.
Where a restriction condition in relation to plan shares is not satisfied by the due date, or becomes incapable of
satisfaction in the opinion of the Board, the Company must, unless the restriction condition is waived by the Board:
a) Where the plan shares were issued for no cash consideration, buy back the relevant plan shares within 12 months
of the date the restriction condition was not satisfied (or became incapable of satisfaction) at a price equal to
$0.0001 per share; or
b) Where the shares were issued for cash consideration, use its best endeavours to buy back the relevant plan shares
within 12 months of the date the restriction condition was not satisfied (or became incapable of satisfaction) at a
price equal to the cash consideration paid by the participant for the plan shares.
To date, plan shares offered under the ESP vest in three equal tranches on each of the three consecutive annual vesting
dates. The shares are not issued to the participant until the vesting date provided the participant is an employee at the
relevant vesting date.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of Dubber Corporation Limited or intervene in
any proceedings to which Dubber Corporation Limited is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of
Dubber Corporation Limited for all or any part of those proceedings.
Dubber Corporation Limited was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Group is not currently subject to any specific environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State
law.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
There were no amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor
other than those outlined in Note 16 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another
person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by
the Corporation Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements do not compromise
the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity
of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company,
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
The auditor’s independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2017, as required under section 307C of the
Corporations Act 2001, has been received and is included within the financial report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Preparation
Dubber Corporation Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia. These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Dubber Corporation
Limited and controlled entities (“Group” or “Consolidated Entity”). The nature of the operations and principal
activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Dubber Corporation Limited is a for-profit
entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
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. 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 and have been consistently
applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial reports have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial
liabilities.
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Dubber Corporation Limited, have not been presented
within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
(b)
Going concern basis
For the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group entity incurred a loss of $9,853,902 (2016: $9,300,655) and had a
cash balance at 30 June 2017 of $857,777 (30 June 2016: $2,563,767).
On 13 July 2017, the Company issued 476,191 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 42 cents each, raising
$200,000. The shares were issued to a company associated with Mr Peter Pawlowitsch after shareholder approval
was obtained on 30 June 2017 for the director to participate in the share placement announced on 8 December
2016.
The Company announced on 18 September 2017 it had successfully completed a $7 million capital raising. The
capital raising, which was oversubscribed, resulted in the placement of 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at
an issue price of 35 cents each. The shares were issued on 25 September 2017.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue to meet its commitments
and can therefore continue normal business activities and realise assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of
business.
Management is confident that forecasted cash inflows up to October 2018 from subscriptions, research and
development tax incentives and additional capital raisings, together with the current cash balance, will yield
sufficient cash flow to meet the group’s working capital requirements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(c)
Revenue recognition
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets,
is the rate inherent in the instrument.
Service income is recognised at the time the service is accessed by the customer. All revenue is stated net of the
amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(d)
Government grants/research and development tax incentives
Grants from the government (such as research and development tax incentives) are recognised at their fair value
where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached
conditions. Government grants received for the period prior to the acquisition of Dubber Pty Ltd was deducted
from the carrying value of the Dubber intellectual property, with subsequent grants being recognised as other
income.
(e)
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Dubber
Corporation Limited (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the
year then ended. Dubber Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial
statements as the Group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has control. The Group has
control over an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of
the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the 'business
combinations' accounting policy for further details. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is
accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book
value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the
parent.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(e)
Basis of consolidation (continued)
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of
the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest
in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
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.
(f)
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and
assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.
(g)
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
(i)
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and
presentation currency of Dubber Corporation Limited.
Transactions and balances
(ii)
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities, denominated
in foreign currencies, are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
(iii)
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the functional currency as exchange rates at the
reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency difference are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign
currency translation reserve in equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are
recognised in other comprehensive income. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable
to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses
arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are
recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. When a foreign
operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange
differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
(h)
Finance income
Finance income comprises interest income earned on funds invested in bank accounts and call deposits. Interest
is recognised on an accruals basis in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(i)
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 the end of the reporting period. 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 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 the end of
the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or
settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset
can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary
difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current 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.
(j)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when a Group company 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(k)
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary
comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the
group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values
at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquired asset either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s
net identifiable assets. The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest
in the acquire over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, If those amounts
are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all
amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Where
settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to
their present value as at the date of exchange.
The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing
could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent
consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are
subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(l)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(m)
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement
within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months
after the reporting date.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable
are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade
receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that
the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than
30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment
allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not
discounted if the effect of the discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment losses is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade
receivable for which an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectable in a subsequent
period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off
are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

(n)
Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that the Company commits
itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are
initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value
through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability
settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to
determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is calculated as:
(a)
the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
(b)
less principal repayments;
(c)
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially
recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
less any reduction for impairment.
(d)
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and
is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees,
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value
with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interest as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards
specifically applicable to financial instruments.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(i)
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is
managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management
or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being
included in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables
(ii)
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within
12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current
assets.
Financial liabilities
(iii)
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Convertible notes are issued from the Company and are convertible at the option of the holder, and the number
of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

(n)
Financial instruments (continued)
The liability component of a convertible note is recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have
an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value
of the convertible note as a whole and the fair value of the liability component.
Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to
their initial carrying amounts.
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks
and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are
either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.
(o)
Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable,
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold
land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Company commencing from the time
the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired
period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings
Computer Equipment
Computer Software
Useful Life
4 years
3 years
3 years
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and
losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets
are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised and removed from the statement of financial position on disposal
or when no future economic benefits are expected. Gains and losses from derecognition are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Subsequent costs are included in the property, plant and equipment's carrying value or recognised as a separate
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realised and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(p)
Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including, dividends
received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If
such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of
the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying value.
Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income.
Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in
respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the
revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.
Non-financial assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets from employee benefits, investment
properties, biological assets, and deferred acquisition costs, are assessed for any indication of impairment at the
end of each reporting period. Any indication of impairment requires formal testing of impairment by comparing
the carrying amount of the asset to an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is
calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for
impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The asset's
value in use is calculated as the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the asset.
Assets that cannot be tested individually for impairment, are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows (the asset's cash-generating unit).
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment
losses are allocated first, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units, and
then to other assets of the group on a pro-rata basis.
Assets other than goodwill are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses recognised in prior
periods for assets other than goodwill are reversed up to the carrying amounts that would have been determined
had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.
(q)
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and
services received by the Company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as
a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(r)
Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(s)
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the
acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
(t)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
(i)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
(ii)
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(u)
Share-based payment transactions
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby
employees render services in exchange for equity instruments ("equity-settled transactions").
When the goods or services acquired in a share-based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as
assets, they are recognised as expenses.
The cost of equity-settled transactions and the corresponding increase in equity is measured at the fair value of
the goods or services acquired. Where the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably
estimated, the fair value is determined indirectly by the fair value of the equity instruments using the Black
Scholes option valuation technique.
Equity-settled transactions that vest after employees complete a specified period of service are recognised as
services received during the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.
(v)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are brought in at fair value at acquisition. Intangible
assets with finite useful life are amortised over a straight line basis in the profit or loss over the estimated useful
life. During the previous period, management re assessed the useful life of the platform from 10 years to 5 years,
as they believe it is more reflective of the useful life.
(w) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as described in note 1(k). Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible
assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to
those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business
combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which
goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments (note 18).

Employee Provisions
Short-term employee benefit obligations
(i)
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are recognised in other
liabilities in respect of employees' services rendered up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are
recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after
the end of the reporting period. They are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured
as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees to
the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected future salaries and wages levels, experience
of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using national
government corporate bond rates at the end of the reporting period with terms to maturity and currency that
match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Regardless of when settlement is expected to occur, liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are
presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(y)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Key estimates - Impairment
The Group tests annually whether the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles exceed its recoverable
amount to determine potential impairment requirements. The recoverable amount of goodwill and other
intangibles has been calculated using a number of assumptions as disclosed in note 7. No impairment has been
recognised in respect of intangibles at the end of the reporting period.
Key judgements – Share-based payment transactions
The Company 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 fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes
method. The related assumptions are detailed in note 21. 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.
Key Estimates – Dubber intellectual property
The Dubber SaaS intangible was acquired as part of a business combination. The intangible asset was recognised
at its fair value at the date of acquisition and is subsequently amortised on a straight-line based on the timing of
projected cash flows of the intellectual property over its estimated useful life. The Group estimates the useful life
of the asset is 5 years based on the technical obsolescence of such assets. However, the actual useful life may be
shorter or longer than 5 years, depending on technical innovations and competitor actions.

New accounting standards for application in future period & current periods
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for period ended 30 June 2017. The
consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
These amendments must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Therefore
application date for the Company will be 30 June 2019. The Company does not currently have any hedging
arrangements in place.
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.
Since December 2013, it also sets out new rules for hedge accounting. There will be no impact on the Company’s
accounting for financial assets and financial liabilities, as the new requirements only effect the accounting for
available-for-sale financial assets and the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value
through profit or loss and the Company does not have any such financial assets or financial liabilities. The new
hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the Company’s risk management practices. As a general
rule it will be easier to apply hedge accounting going forward. The new standard also introduces expanded
disclosure requirements and changes in presentation.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
These amendments must be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Therefore
application date for the Company will be 30 June 2019.
An entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on
transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue. The Group will adopt this standard
from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is in the process of being assessed by the Group.
AASB 16 Leases
IFRS 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB
117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its statement of financial position in a similar
way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease
liability and a right of use asset in its statement of financial position for most leases.
There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. The
application date of this standard is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group
will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group.
(aa) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Dubber Corporation Limited, disclosed in note 22 has been
prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.

Intangible Assets (continued)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Goodwill acquired through the business combination has been allocated to the Company’s only cash generating unit
(‘CGU’) for impairment testing. The Board has determined the recoverable amount of the CGU by assessing the fair value
less cost of disposal (FVLCOD) of the underlying assets. The method applied was the market approach based on the
current market capitalisation (number of shares on issue multiplied by the quoted market price per share) of the Group
on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The recoverable value is therefore a Level 1 measurement based on
observable inputs of publicly traded shares in an active market. The Board has not identified any reasonable possible
changes in key assumptions that could cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount. Any
reasonable change to the volatility of the Company’s share price would not create an impairment.

development tax incentive offset for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. Interest was fixed at 1.25% per month
payable monthly. The loan was secured by a first ranking charge over the assets of the Company except the Dubber
intellectual property, registered on the Personal Property Securities Register. The loan was fully repaid on 14 March
2017.

The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Financial Risk Management Policies
Exposure to key financial risks is managed in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy with the objective to
ensure that the financial risks inherent in technological activities and new business reviews are identified and then
managed or kept as low as reasonably practicable.
The main financial risks that arise in the normal course of business are market risk (including currency risk and interest
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Different methods are used to measure and manage these risk exposures.
Liquidity risk is monitored through the ongoing review of available cash and future commitments for research
expenditure. Exposure to liquidity risk is limited by anticipating liquidity shortages and ensures capital can be raise in
advance of shortages. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting the amount interest bearing loans entered into by the
Company. It is the Board's policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken so as to limit expose
to price risk.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Managing Director, under the
authority of the Board. The Board is apprised of these risks from time to time and agrees any policies that may be
undertaken to manage any of the risks identified.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including criteria for recognition, the basis of
measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial instrument are
disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The carrying values less the impairment allowance for receivables and
payables are assumed to approximate fair values due to their short term nature. Cash and cash equivalents are subject
to variable interest rates.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
(a) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counter parties
of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Company.
The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor
is it the Company’s policy to secure its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an
ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.
With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and receivables,
the exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the
carrying amount of these instruments. The majority of cash and deposits is held with Westpac Banking
Corporation, an AA3 credit rated bank.

Financial Risk Management (continued)
(b) Liquidity risk
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet the ongoing operational
requirements of the business. It is the Company’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents.
Furthermore, the Company monitors its ongoing research and development cash requirements and raises equity
funding as and when appropriate to meet such planned requirements. The Company has undrawn financing
facilities. Trade and other payables, the only financial liability of the Company, are due within 3 months.
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.
Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management's expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual
timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial
liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

(c) Market risk
i. Interest rate risk
The Company’s cash-flow interest rate risk primarily arises from cash at bank and deposits subject to market bank
rates. The Company does not have any borrowings or enter into hedges. An increase/(decrease) in interest rates
by 0.5% during the whole of the respective periods would have led to an increase/(decrease) in losses of less than
$1,828.
(d) Fair value
The Group does not have any financial instruments that are subject to recurring fair value measurements. Due to
their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the current receivables and current trade and other payables is
assumed to approximate their fair value.

18. Operating Segments
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group has identified 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 managed primarily on the basis that it has only one main operating segment, being the Dubber technology
suite. All the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board of Directors
as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment.
The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
The accounting policies applied for internal purposes are consistent with those applied in the preparation of these
financial statements.

achievement of the following milestones:
Milestone 1: The Company achieving a share price with a 20 day VWAP over 50 cents.
Milestone 2: The Company achieving a share price with a 20 day VWAP over 75 cents.

the Company at the relevant vesting date:
Vesting date 1: 1 March 2016 - 750,000 options
Vesting date 2: 1 March 2017 - 750,000 options
Vesting date 3: 1 March 2018 - 750,000 options
3. Unlisted options issued to Aesir Capital Pty Ltd, vesting upon the completion of a subsequent capital raising in the
amount of $15,000,000 or more that is managed and facilitated by Aesir Capital Pty Ltd and completes within 15
months of the share placement that was completed on 14 December 2016. The Company considers it unlikely

taking into account the exercise price, term of option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the
underling share, expected yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. For the options granted during
the current financial year, the inputs to the model used were:

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

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 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
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.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 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 has 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 the 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
