During the year Eden made significant progress 
towards achieving its goal of having EdenCrete®, 
Eden’s carbon nanotube-enriched concrete admixture, 
become a product that is widely used in the concrete 
market, particularly the huge US infrastructure market. 
Progress was also achieved in Eden’s collaborative 
research projects being conducted with the University of 
Queensland and Deakin University.

Whilst sales of the Optiblend® dual fuel system remained 
slow due to the ongoing low oil prices and the limited oil 
and gas exploration taking place as a result, nevertheless 
a combined total of 21 Optiblend® dual fuel systems 
were sold in India and the USA during the year, having an 
aggregate value of US$0.58 million.

EDENCRETE® (Eden 100%)

Expansion of Eden’s Colorado EdenCrete® Production 
Capability

The expansion of the EdenCrete® production capability 
in Colorado, from 108,000 gallons per annum to a 
targeted output of between approximately 2 million - 2.4 
million gallons (7.6 - 9.1 million litres) per annum, or 
approximately 40,000 gallons (151,000 litres) per week, 
was undertaken and the plant is now operational. The new 
plant includes two new large-scale carbon nanotube (CNT) 
production reactors, and 40,000 gallons of underground 
storage capacity (see Figures 1 and 2). 

Figure 1. Reactor Being Lifted off Low Loader.

Figure 2.  Two 20,000 gallons capacity EdenCrete® underground storage tanks.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2017ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyThese new reactors are far larger than the two earlier 
reactors, and operating 24 hours per day, are intended to 
be able to produce sufficient carbon nanotubes for between 
2 million and 2.4 million gallons of EdenCrete® per year. 
Eden’s expanded EdenCrete® production capability in 
Colorado incorporates:

¬  Two reactors for producing the carbon nanotubes which 
were successfully trialled and produced commercial 
quantities of carbon;

¬  A carbon silo and the automated pneumatic conveyor 

system for the carbon;

¬  A liquid nitrogen gas supply;

¬  A mixing system that is integrated with the rest of the 

production process. One of the larger components in the 
mixing system:

-  is supplied by the same supplier and operates in the 
same manner as, but is smaller than, the final mixing 
system (“Full Capacity Mixing System”) that is planned 
to be used in Colorado, and which is also currently 
intended to be used in the future Georgia plant;

-  will be replaced in the Colorado manufacturing process 
with a Full Capacity Mixing System when justified by 
increasing EdenCrete® sales, to provide production 
capacity in Colorado up to the currently estimated 
maximum production capacity of the Colorado plant of 
approximately 2-2.4 million gallons of EdenCrete® per 
annum; 

-  when replaced, the process is seamless and is will 

involve simply substituting the larger capacity piece of 
equipment for the existing component; and

-  is intended to continue to be used, after the Full 

Capacity Mixing System is installed, as a second mixing 
system for the future production of other variations of 
EdenCrete® that are currently being planned; 

¬  Current capability of producing, on a 24-hour basis, over 
1 million gallons of EdenCrete® per annum which will 
be increased to 2-2.4 million gallons of EdenCrete® per 
annum as and when sales increase;

¬  A computerized control system for the whole plant which 

was trialled and is operational; and

¬  A roadside bulk delivery system for loading the 

EdenCrete® into bulk road tankers which was tested and 
is operational.

Eden can now confidently commit to supplying greatly 
increased quantities of EdenCrete®. 

Purchase of Original Colorado Production Facility Completed

During the year the company completed the purchase of 
the land and building housing its original Denver based 
production facility for approximately US$1.2million, payable 
over 5 years and carrying interest to the vendor at the rate 
of 2% p.a, giving Eden security over its expanded Colorado 
production facility.

New Colorado property purchased to facilitate further 
EdenCrete® production expansion

Eden also purchased an adjoining property that shares a 
common rear boundary with Eden’s existing Colorado plant, 
for US$1.525 million to secure the additional space. The 
property comprises a parcel of land with an area of 24,829 
square feet (2,306 m2) on which is erected a two storey 
building with a total area of 12,599 square feet (1,170 m2) 
that was built in 1999.

The building has a number of offices, a large workshop/
warehouse area and loading dock suitable for semi-trailers. 

It enabled the administration, the OptiBlend® business and 
a greatly expanded research and development facility to be 
re-located from Eden’s existing site, freeing up additional 
space in the original for the EdenCrete® production.

This added space adds significantly to the company’s 
EdenCrete® production capability in Colorado. 

Denver Public works commenced EdenCrete® evaluation 
in Colorado

During the year, trials commenced with the Denver Public 
Works to evaluate EdenCrete® in several locations around 
Denver. EdenCrete® is being evaluated for its ability to 
improve the durability of concrete placed in Denver where 
it is exposed to significant quantities of de-icing salts and 
road chemicals. The evaluation period may last for perhaps 
up to 12 months. 

If the trials are successful, it is hoped that positive results 
will translate into the Denver Public Works commencing to 
use EdenCrete® on a broad scale in suitable projects across 
Denver, and potentially leading to its use in other areas of 
Colorado, and perhaps into other States as well, for similar 
applications.

To date, two sections of roadways in Denver that are 
exposed to high application rates of de-icing salts and road 
chemicals to inhibit the formation of ice on the roads, have 
been trialled and the results to date have been encouraging  
(see Figure 3).

These trials in Colorado by the Denver Public Works 
represented the first governmental field trials of 
EdenCrete® on road projects in any State outside 
of Georgia and compliment the recently addition 
of EdenCrete® to the Colorado Department of 
Transportation’s Approved Product List.

EdenCrete® - Georgia

EdenCrete® to be used in all state funded, concrete road 
repair projects in Georgia over next 12 months

In January 2017 EdenCrete® was added to the Georgia 
Department of Transportation (“GDOT”) Approved Product 
List, which was followed on 23 January 2017 by the 
amendment of the GDOT specifications for its 24-hour 
Accelerated Strength Concrete repair mix that required 
the addition of EdenCrete® to this repair mix (see Figure 4).   

Figure 4. GDOT Twenty-Four Hour Accelerated Strength Concrete 
Specifications

GDOT has now confirmed that EdenCrete® is to be 
included in the concrete repair mix to be used on all State 
funded, full depth concrete slab replacement projects on 
highways in Georgia undertaken during the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2017.

Around 16 projects over the 12 month period are currently 
anticipated, including up to 5 or 6 major repair projects, 
with the remainder being likely to be of a smaller scale.

The schedule, including the number and details  of 
projects that are nominated by each district is not fixed 
and may change at any time for various reasons including 
changes in priorities of the district.

More details of the schedule, the anticipated size, value 
and timing of these projects, are awaited over the coming 
months. 

The inclusion of EdenCrete® in the GDOT 24 hour concrete 
repair mix on all State funded, full depth concrete slab 
replacement projects on highway projects in Georgia 
during the 2017-2018 financial year represented a major 
milestone and a significant advance towards the broad 
penetration by EdenCrete® into the US concrete and 
infrastructure markets.

First Order for a GDOT road repair project

In February 2017, Eden received and shipped its first order 
for US$50,000 worth of EdenCrete® for a GDOT road repair 
project, in which EdenCrete® was added at a dosage rate 
of 2 gallons (7.57 litres) per cubic yard (0.765 metres3) 
and the amount of cement used was reduced by 15%. 
The project required approximately 1,000 cubic yards of 
concrete, equivalent to approximately 125 standard sized 
ready-mix concrete truck loads (8 cubic yards capacity).

EdenCrete® Field Trial in GDOT New Highway Projects

During the year a field trial of EdenCrete® by GDOT, for 
possible future use in new concrete road construction in 
Georgia commenced. The trial is taking place on a state 
highway involved the addition of EdenCrete®, at a dosage 
rate of 2 US gallons (7.57 litres) per cubic yard (0.7645 
cubic metres) of concrete, to sufficient concrete to lay a 
two lane wide section of new highway approximately 80 
yards (73.15 metres) in length (see Figure 5).

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2017ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyFigure 5. Completed section of highway with added EdenCrete

The evaluation period to be undertaken by GDOT of the 
field trial is likely to be at least 12 months.  A successful 
outcome could open the way for the possible future 
participation of EdenCrete® in the construction of new 
roads and highways in Georgia, the annual budget for 
which currently exceeds US$700 million per annum.

This field trial was undertaken pursuant to the decision 
of the GDOT New Products Evaluation Committee in 
December 2015 that EdenCrete® be allowed to undertake 
a Field Test in the applications of Portland cement 
for concrete pavements (GDOT Specification Section 
430 and/or 439) and concrete whitetopping (GDOT 
Specification Section 453) (replacing the surface of an 
asphalt pavement with a concrete surface layer).

On 6 December 2016, the Commissioner of GDOT gave 
a presentation in which he outlined the projections for 
Georgia’s transportation infrastructure programme and 
GDOT budget through to the end of 2019.

It included a detailed breakdown of work that is underway 
and planned in relation to highways, roads and bridges, as 
well as budgeted expenditure of US$1.5 billion dollars for 
the 2017 financial year (1 July 2017- 30 June 2018), and 
gives a very good picture of Eden’s primary target market 
in Georgia for EdenCrete®.

The work planned by GDOT through until June 2018 
includes:

¬  Over 2,500 miles of roadway resurfacings; 

¬  118 bridge replacements; 

¬  More than 300 bridge rehabilitations; and 

¬  Upgrade and improve 109 intersections with signals.

Significant Improvement Achieved in Permeability Test 
in MARTA Trial

During the year, permeability tests were also completed 
of concrete incorporating EdenCrete® that showed a 
significant improvement (reduction) in permeability of 
EdenCrete® enriched concrete after immersion in a 3% 
chloride brine solution for 90 days, in accordance with the 
ASTM C1543 and AASHTO T259 standard test procedures 

(see Table 1).  AASHTO is the American Association of 
State Highway and Transportation Officials.

In this trial EdenCrete® was added at 3 US gallons / 
cubic yard (7.43 litres / cubic metre) of concrete, and 
was compared with the same concrete mix containing no 
EdenCrete®. The tests involved completely submerging 
in the 3% chloride brine solution for ninety days, a 12 
inch (304.8mm) square block, 4 inches (101.6mm) thick, 
of each of the reference concrete and the EdenCrete® 
enriched concrete, and after the 90 days immersion:

¬  Removing with a diamond drill a 2 inch (50.8 mm) 

diameter, full-depth circular core from the centre of 
each test block; 

¬  Cutting horizontally 4 cross-sections of each core at 

the specified depths shown in Table 1 above, with each 
cross section being 10 mm thick (10-20mm, 25-35mm, 
40-50mm and 55-65mm) for analysis; and

¬  The 4 cross sections from each core were then 

pulverised and the total percentage of chloride (by 
weight) (ASTM C1152) in each of these cross sections 
was the analysed.

This dramatic reduction in chloride ingress, reflecting a far 
lower permeability of the EdenCrete® enriched concrete, 
is a further significant step forward in accessing both 
repairs and construction of highways and bridges were 
salt is spread to retard the formation of ice, and also for 
both coastal and marine applications where concrete is 
exposed to elevated salinity.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

EdenCrete® - Texas 

During the year, the Texas Department of Transportation 
(“TxDOT”) approved the use of EdenCrete® in two 
proprietary concrete mixes developed by a significant 
Texas based manufacturer of pre-stressed concrete 
beams which are used in the construction of bridges in 
Texas. Following this approval, Eden entered into a three 
year, bulk supply agreement with this manufacturer to 
supply it with the required EdenCrete®.

Whilst there are no minimum sales requirements in the 
contract, and it is not certain what will be the aggregate 
sales of EdenCrete® to be supplied on an annual basis, 
based on the current throughput at the plant, Eden 
anticipates that it could be in the order of US $1million 
per annum and EdenCrete® is now being added by the 
manufacturer to the concrete used for bridge beams in 
Texas (see Figure 6).

Eden had been trialling EdenCrete® with the manufacturer 
to develop alternative, better concrete mixes that also 
meet all current and proposed standards required 
by TxDOT that require a significant reduction in the 
aggregated quantity of cementitious material that is used 
to make the concrete.  

After nearly six months of work with the support of Eden, 
the manufacturer developed the two concrete mixes that 
each includes EdenCrete®, added at a dosage rate of 
0.5 US gallon/ cubic/yard (2.476 litres/ cubic metre) of 
concrete respectively that have been approved by TXDOT 
for use in pre-cast / pre-stressed bridge applications. 
Each of these two new concrete mixes:

¬  Reduce the total cost of the concrete;

¬  Achieve a more workable and less sticky concrete 

mix that achieves all the required break strengths for 
the particular applications for which they will use the 
concrete;   

¬  Result in a smoother finish with fewer bug holes, that 

looks better and is anticipated will require less patching 
and/or repairs; 

¬  Will enable the manufacturer to reduce the 

cementitious content of the mixes which in turn will 
lower the cost of production of the products; and

¬  Will enable the manufacturer to meet the new standards 
that TxDOT has announced will commence at the end of 
September 2017, partly driven by an emerging shortage 
of fly ash, requiring a lower cementitious content in the 
concrete used in bridge construction.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2017ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyOther benefits may also potentially be achieved when the 
mixes are used commercially. 

Under the terms of the three year contract, Eden will 
supply and deliver EdenCrete®, using a road tanker, in bulk 
into a 5,000 US gallon dispensing tank (supplied by Eden) 
at the manufacturer’s plant in Texas, and that will then be 
added into the concrete batching process in the same way 
that other admixtures are added to concrete.

The first order of EdenCrete® for the Texas market was 
received in early April 2017 under this contract and was 
for more than US$100,000 worth of EdenCrete®, and was 
shipped on 9th April 2017 in a bulk tanker (see Figure 7) 
and a second order was delivered in July 2017. Eden has 
been advised that EdenCrete® is now being included by 
the manufacturer in the concrete they are using to make 
bridge beams for TxDOT at the plant where the trials were 
carried out.

The manufacturer also has three other plants, at least 
one of which is also involved in production of products for 
bridges in Texas and which may also commence to use 
EdenCrete® once a successful operation at the first plant 
has been established. 

Additionally there are over ten other precast 
manufacturers in Texas who are approved by TxDOT for 
precast/ prestressed bridge components and Eden has 

trials underway or planned with a number of them and 
plans to progressively approach all the TxDOT approved 
precast manufacturers in due course.

The precast concrete market represents a large portion 
of the total US concrete market. In particular, in addition 
to precast building products for low and high rise 
construction, the use of precast products is particularly 
common in the construction and maintenance of bridges. 
The US bridge market is a primary target for the possible 
future use of EdenCrete®, with a growing emphasis on 
using more durable concrete to produce much longer 
lasting structures. 

In July 2015, the US Federal Department of Transportation 
published a State-by-State analysis of the condition of 
Federal roads and bridges in the USA (1), and concluded 
that of the 604,000 bridges, over 124,000 were 
functionally obsolete or structurally deficient.

Relevantly, Texas has both the most bridges (52,561) of 
any State, representing 8.68% of all the bridges in the 
USA, and the highest number, being 9,998 (or 19% of 
all the bridges in Texas) that were determined by the US 
Federal Department of Transportation in July 2015 to be 
functionally obsolete or structurally deficient.

EdenCrete® - Sales and Marketing Progress

Sales Team Appointed

During the year, Eden appointed an experienced sales 
team with more than 200 years collective experience in 
selling concrete admixtures to sell EdenCrete®. The team 
is spread out across the USA.

First European Order

During the year, Eden received and shipped its first 
European order for EdenCrete® worth US$25,000. 
The order was received from a significant European 
construction company that specialises in pre-cast and 
prefabricated construction and that operates widely 
throughout Eastern Europe. At the date of this report, 
the trials by the European construction company are 
continuing.

The future plan is to export EdenCrete® that is proposed 
to be produced at Eden’s proposed production facility in 
Augusta, Georgia, through the Port of Savannah, 130 miles 
away and open up the global market for EdenCrete®.

Various Trials Commenced 

Trials of EdenCrete® by a number of possible customers 
for a range of applications commenced in various parts of 
the US during the year. A number of them that have been 
completed and it is hoped some will translate into sales. 
Trials with new customers, which can take an extended 
time to complete, are almost always required and are 
expected to continue to occur on an ongoing basis as an 
integral part of the process of securing new customers. 
At the date of this report there are a number of trials 
scheduled to commence over the next few months.

Approval to Use EdenCrete® in Seven State Departments 
of Transport

As at the date of this report,  Eden has received approval 
for the use of EdenCrete® in concrete for one or more 
applications, from the Departments of Transportation in 
Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, 
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Additionally, EdenCrete® 
has also been successfully field trialled in both Georgia 
and Texas, and is now in commercial use in both of these 
States. Eden has also commenced discussions with the 
Federal Highways Administration in relation to whether 
it may be possible at some stage in the future to obtain 
approval for the use of EdenCrete® in Federal funded 
projects in Georgia. 

Eden intends to progressively increase the number of 
States where EdenCrete® is approved for use. Each State 
has its own procedures and timetables for considering 
applications. Eden has also initiated the national highways 
(NTPEP) certification process that will take at least 12 
months to complete from when the trials actually begin 

which are anticipated to commence in the next few 
months. The NTPEP certification is similar to the ASTM 
certification process that Eden has completed, but unlike 
the NTPEP certification that is only relevant to US roads 
and bridges, the ASTM certification is widely accepted 
around the world, such as in Korea.

Obtaining DOT approvals in the various States is proving to 
be a reasonably slow process, and if approved, field trials 
are still likely to be required. Initial steps are underway to 
seek field trials of EdenCrete® with the DOTs in several 
States where EdenCrete® has been added to the Approved 
Product List but not yet field trialled.

Memorandum of Understanding Executed for Possible 
Korean EdenCrete® Distributorship

In June 2017, Eden signed a Memorandum of 
Understanding (“MOU”) with Korea Consultants 
International Co., Ltd. (“KCI”), a Seoul-based engineering 
consulting firm, to jointly review the feasibility of KCI 
being appointed as the sole distributor in the Republic 
of Korea (“Korea”) for EdenCrete®.  Initial meetings 
were held with both with the Korean Government testing 
authority, and the Korean Government owned corporation 
that constructs, maintains and operates an expressway 
network in Korea on behalf of both the Government and 
Public Private Partnerships and provided EdenCrete® 
was positively received. In late July 2017, the Korean 
Government testing authority agreed to proceed with the 
laboratory testing of EdenCrete® and this is planned to 
commence by early September 2017.

Whilst the MOU that has been signed is non-binding and 
preliminary, depending on outcomes from these tests 
which may take 6 months or more to complete, Eden and 
KCI intend to negotiate the possible appointment of KCI as 
the exclusive distributor of EdenCrete® in Korea.

KCI, an innovative, integrated engineering consultancy 
company that approached Eden, provides planning, design, 
supervision, project management and construction 
management services for a broad range of infrastructure 
and construction projects, including for roads, bridges, 
railways, ports, airports, water supply and sewerage 
projects. Since 1982, KCI has been involved in hundreds of 
significant projects in Korea, including the construction of 
some of the longest bridges and tunnels in the world, for a 
range of clients including the Korean Government, Public 
Private Partnerships and other companies.

With its head office in Seoul, KCI also maintains 9 
overseas offices. Over the years it has participated in 
over 140 significant engineering projects in 23 other 
countries, spread across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, 
South America and Oceania, including a number of 
major infrastructure projects that were funded through 
international aid programmes. Out of these 140 projects,

region, in which KCI has been involved in 123 projects in 
13 countries.

The potential size of the Asian/ Pacific market was 
detailed in a 2015 report on the potential global spending 
on transport infrastructure around the world between 
2015 and 2025, published by PricewaterhouseCoopers*, 
in which the cumulative global expenditure in trillions of 
dollars, by regions, was estimated (see Figure 8 below).

ASTM Test Programme 

Completion of ASTM C494 “S” Test Programme

In December 2016, Eden completed the 12 months long 
testing programme for EdenCrete® enriched concrete 
that was undertaken in Colorado, to test EdenCrete® in 
accordance with the standards and the procedures of the 
American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) for  
ASTM C494 “S” certification of EdenCrete®, the industry 
standard certification procedure for specific performance 
concrete admixtures.

The details of the positive results achieved during the 12 
month trial period are set out in Figure 9.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2017ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyREVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The completion of the ASTM C494 “S” trial programme is 
another major milestone and will facilitate:

¬  The continuation of the approval process towards a 

future approval to use EdenCrete® on highways by other 
State Departments of Transportation in the USA to which 
Eden has already applied for approval, but which first 
require the completion of the ASTM C494 Programme, in 
addition to satisfaction of other later conditions; and 

¬  Assessment of the performance of EdenCrete® for 

its possible future use by a range of groups including 
engineers and architects both in the USA and also in 
other countries. 

The ASTM C494 “S” trial results were all based on a dosage 
rate of 3.5 US gallons of EdenCrete® per cubic yard of 
concrete, 12.5% lower dosage than that trialled by GDOT.

EdenCrete® US Patent Application

At the date of this report, Eden has lodged an application 
for a US patent in relation to methods and systems for 
producing admixtures for concrete that contain nano-
carbon particles (including carbon nanotubes), and 
methods and systems for making concrete using the 
admixtures.

The patent application includes methods and systems of 
manufacturing admixtures that contain one or more of a 
broad range of nano-carbon materials including carbon 
nanotubes, and including EdenCrete®. 

Applications for similar patents, based on the US patent 
application are intended to be lodged in due course in 
Europe and a number of other strategic countries, in 
which, under the Patent Convention Treaty, Eden’s priority 
will operate from the date of lodgement of the application 
in the US.

Proposed Georgia based EdenCrete® 
Production Facility 

In 2015-2016, Eden’s wholly owned subsidiary, EdenCrete 
Industries Inc. (“ECI”) secured an attractive financial 
assistance and incentives package worth an aggregate 
of US$24.76 million to assist it establish its large scale 
global manufacturing plant in Augusta, Georgia on 45 
hectares (112 acres) of industrial land and with an option 
over a further 31.5 acres. The area of land that will be the 
subject of the grant that ECI will receive, was during the 
year increased to 143.5 acres, and includes the additional 
area that was originally subject to the option.

ECI proposes to establish its large-scale global 
EdenCrete® production facility in Augusta over the next 
seven years at an estimated cost of US$67 million to 
create 251 jobs, and upon which the incentive package is 
conditional. 

The 2 miles of new roadway has now been cleared down 
to the proposed EdenCrete® plant site and engineers have 
been commissioned to commence the preliminary site 
plans for the proposed Eden plant.

The facility that is being planned be built in up to 7-8 
separate buildings, each with four production lines with a 
total planned annual production capacity of approximately 
189 million litres (50 million gallons) of EdenCrete® 
concrete admixture per building. A concept plan for the 
total developed site has now been prepared, and the latest 
version is attached as Figure 10.

no reinforcing steel 

The research project with Deakin University (“Deakin”), 
partly funded by an Australian Research Council (“ARC”) 
Linkage Grant into ultra-high strength carbon nanotube 
enriched concrete requiring little or even no reinforcing 
steel, continued during the year. A range of different 
formulations of EdenCrete® have been produced and 
during the period, a reasonably large consignment of 
these formulations of EdenCrete® was shipped to Deakin 
to enable the trials and research to begin.

This project offers Eden an opportunity to collaborate in 
world-leading, high level research into how its EdenCrete® 
carbon nanotube enriched concrete admixture affects 
concrete at a nano-scale in delivering increased flexural 
and compressive strength, increased abrasion resistance 
and reduced permeability, amongst other benefits.

This research could potentially lead to both the 
improvement of EdenCrete® and the development of 
ultra-high strength concrete that requires little or no 
steel re-enforcing. Quite apart from the enormous 
environmental and financial implications, such an outcome 
would have major implications for the global construction 
industry. Eden has already made significant advances with 
EdenCrete® towards ultimately achieving this goal, and this 
new project could assist in accelerating this progress.

EdenPlast™ / CNT Enriched Polymers and Plastics

Work continued on the 2014 collaborative research 
project, partially funded by the Australian Research 
Council (“ARC”) (to the extent of A$255,000), that Eden 
and the University of Queensland have been undertaking 
into carbon nanotubes in plastics. Additionally, an 
application for further ARC grant funding was lodged to 
enable the work to continue past the end of the current 
program, and a grant of $310,000 payable over 3 years 
was approved in February 2017.

The following conclusions from the preliminary result 
have been achieved to date with Eden’s new product 
(EdenPlast™):

¬  Excellent combination of high modulus (stiffness) and 
outstanding ductility (elongation-at-break) achieved 
for Nylon containing <1% Eden’s CNTs compared to 
commercial grades of nano Nylon 6.

¬  Superior ductility with comparable tensile strength 

(> 75 MPa, 50% Relative Humidity (“RH”) conditions) 
compared to super-tough commercial Nylons 
containing higher levels (4wt%) of nanoclays. 

¬  Higher tensile strength than comparable Nylon based 

materials with similar ductility.

¬  Excellent dispersion of the Eden’s CNTs in EdenPlast™.

¬  Visual clarity and transparency suggests suitability for a 

super-tough-film grade.

¬  The relatively low-cost processing method of 

EdenPlast™ could potentially result in production of 
cost-effective, high-stiffness and/or high-toughness 
grades of nano Nylon 6.

¬  Possible suitable future markets for EdenPlast™, 

indicated by the results to date, are the automotive and 
packaging markets.

¬  Whilst fundamental studies (XRD, rheology, thermal 

and electrical analysis) and further standard 
characterization (ASTM, ISO) need to be carried out 
(impact, flexural, tensile, dynamical, fatigue) before 
possible commercialisation could be considered, 
these preliminary results from extruded filaments are 
considered very encouraging.

At the date of this report, Eden has lodged an application 
for a US patent in relation to methods for making 
nanostructured materials using intercalation of carbon 
nanoparticles.

OPTIBLEND® DUAL FUEL SYSTEM (EDEN 100%)

During the year, despite the continued lower price of oil 
and the on-going slow-down in oil and gas exploration, 
Eden Innovations LLC, Eden’s wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, 
received purchase orders for 18 OptiBlend® systems 
worth US$530,000 and Eden Innovations India Pvt Ltd 
received orders for 3 units worth US$50,000.

Eden developed OptiBlend®, an efficient dual fuel system 
that is capable of operating on diesel, and displacing up 
to 70% of the diesel fuel with natural gas The use of the 
natural gas not only reduces the greenhouse gas emissions 
from the engine but, where natural gas is cheaper than 
diesel, it can also reduce fuel costs. It has significant 
market potential particularly in both the back-up power 
market and also the oil and gas drilling market where 
diesel-powered generator sets (“gensets”) are used.

CORPORATE

Successful A$15 million capital raising 

During the year Eden completed an A$15m placement to 
Australian institutional and sophisticated investors. 

Re-branding of “Eden Energy” to “Eden Innovations” 

In order to reflect more accurately the ongoing focus 
of the Group as a clean technology innovator that is 
now engaged exclusively in developing and marketing a 
range of new technologies, a resolution to change the 
name of the company from “Eden Energy Ltd” to “Eden 
Innovations Ltd” was approved at the company’s Annual 
General Meeting on 28 October 2016, and this has been 
implemented.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration 
for each director of Eden Innovations Ltd, and for the 
executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Eden Innovations Ltd has been 
designed to align director and executive objectives with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed 
remuneration component and offering specific long-term 
incentives based on key performance areas affecting the 
consolidated Group’s financial results. The board of Eden 
Innovations Ltd believes the remuneration policy to be 
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain 
the best executives and directors to run and manage the 
consolidated group, as well as create goal congruence 
between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount 
of remuneration for board members and senior executives 
of the economic entity is as follows:

¬  All executives receive a base salary (which is based 

on factors such as length of service and experience), 
superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee 
share and option arrangements.

The executive directors and executives receive a 
superannuation guarantee contribution required by the 
government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive 
any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, 
have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase 
payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued 
at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares issued 
to directors and executives are valued as the difference 
between the market price of those shares and the amount 
paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using 
the Black-Scholes methodology.  The Group does not have 
a policy on directors hedging their shares.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be 
paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval 
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for 
non-executive directors are not linked to the performance 
of the consolidated group. However, to align directors’ 
interests with shareholder interests, the directors are 
encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to 
participate in the employee option plan.

Performance-based remuneration

No performance based remuneration was paid during the 
year.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration Policy

The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount 
of remuneration of management for the Group is as follows:

The remuneration structure for key management 
personnel is based on a number of factors, including 
length of service, particular experience of the individual 
concerned, and overall performance of the Company. 
The contracts for service between the Company and 
key management personnel are on a continuing basis, 
the terms of which are not expected to change in the 
immediate future. Upon retirement key management 
personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued 
to date of retirement. Any options not exercised before or 
on the date of termination lapse.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2017ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements 
of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The financial report complies with 
all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in 
their entirety.

The financial report covers the consolidated group of Eden 
Innovations Ltd and controlled entities as at and for the 
year ended 30 June 2017. Eden Innovations Ltd is a listed 
public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 
The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in 
clean technology solutions.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 28 
September 2017 by the Board of Directors.

The following is a summary of the material accounting 
policies adopted by the consolidated group in the 
preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies 
have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been 
consistently applied to all years presented. 

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals 
basis and is based on historical costs modified by the 
revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets 
and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of 
accounting has been applied. These consolidated financial 
statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the 
Parent’s functional currency. The subsidiaries’ functional 
currencies are USD and INR.

Financial Position

These financial statements have been prepared on a 
going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of 
normal business activities, the realisation of assets and 
extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of 
business. The Group reported a working capital surplus of 
$6,544,901 (2016: $11,234,511) at 30 June 2017 and a 
loss of $11,263,770 (2016: $3,340,533) and a cash outflow 
from operating activities of $8,451,213 (2016: $3,064,537) 
for the year then ended. Management have prepared a cash 
flow forecast for 15 months from the commencement of 
the 2018 financial year. Based on the cash flow forecast 
and the historic ability of the Group to raise equity funding 
if needed, the directors are confident that the Group will be 
able to continue its operations as a going concern. 

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

  A controlled entity is any entity Eden Innovations Ltd 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.  A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 
22 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have 
a June year-end.

  All inter-company balances and transactions between 

entities in the consolidated group, including any 
unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on 
consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies 
with those policies applied by the parent entity.

b. Income Tax

  The charge for current income tax expense is based on 

the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or 
disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that 
have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the 
balance sheet date.

  Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet 
liability method in respect of temporary differences 
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities 
and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 
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 income tax assets are 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that future 
tax profits will be available against which deductible 
temporary differences can be utilised.

  Eden Innovations Ltd, Adamo Energy Ltd and Eden Energy 
Holdings Pty Ltd, its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries, 
have formed an income tax consolidated group under 
the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the 
Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax 
consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2005. The tax 
consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement 
whereby each company in the group contributes to the 
income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to 
the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group. 
The R&D tax rebate is recognised as income tax benefit 
upon receipt.

c. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. The cost of manufactured products 
includes direct materials, direct labour and an 
appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Costs 
are assigned on the basis of first-in, first-out.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

d. Segment reporting

  Segment results that are reported to the Group’s board 
of directors (the chief operating decision maker) include 
items directly attributable to a segment as well as those 
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

e. Employee Benefits

  Provision is made for the company’s liability for 

employee benefits arising from services rendered by 
employees to balance date. Employee benefits that 
are expected to be settled within one year have been 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liability is settled, plus related on-costs. 

f. Revenue

  Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon 
delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is 
recognised on a proportional basis taking into account 
the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

g. Property, Plant and Equipment 

  Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried 

at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

  Plant and equipment

  Plant and equipment are initially recognised at 

acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any 
costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the 
location and condition necessary for it to be capable 
of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s 
management.

  The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed 
annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount of these assets. The recoverable 
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected 
net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s 
employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net 
cash flows have been discounted to their present values 
in determining recoverable amounts.

  The depreciation rates used for each class of 

depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Plant and equipment

15 – 50% straight line

Buildings

4% straight line

  Gains and losses on disposals are determined by 

comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are included in the income statement. 
When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the 
revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred 
to retained earnings.

h. Financial Instruments

  Recognition

  Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on 
trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the 
related contractual rights or obligations exist.  

Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are 
measured as set out below.

  Available-for-sale financial assets

  Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative 
financial assets that are either designated as such or 
that are not classified in any of the other categories. 
They comprise investments in the equity of other 
entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed 
or determinable payments.

  Loans and receivables 

  Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial 

assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. 

  Financial liabilities 

  Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at 

amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal 
payments and amortisation.

  Fair value 

  Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for 

all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied 
to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, 
including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to 
similar instruments and option pricing models. 

Impairment 

  At each reporting date, the group assesses whether 

there is objective evidence that a financial instrument 
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale 
financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value 
of the instrument is considered to determine whether 
an asset is impaired. Impairment losses are recognised 
in the income statement.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES (CONTINUED)

k. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

  Functional and presentation currency

i.  Impairment of Assets

  At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying 

values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether there is any indication that those assets 
have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of 
the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, 
is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of 
the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is 
expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill 
and intangible assets with indefinite lives. 

  Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 
amount of an individual asset, the group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to 
which the asset belongs.

j.  Intangibles

  Research and development 

  Expenditure during the research phase of a project is 

recognised as an expense when incurred. Development 
costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility 
studies identify that the project will deliver future 
economic benefits and these benefits can be measured 
reliably. 

  Development costs have a finite life and are amortised 
on a systematic basis matched to the future economic 
benefits over the useful life of the project.

Intellectual Property 

Intellectual property, which includes trademarks and 
engineering knowledge, is included in the financial 
statements at cost, being their fair value on acquisition.

Intellectual property and trademarks are only amortised 
or written down where the useful lives are limited or 
impaired by specific circumstances, in such cases 
amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over 
their useful lives and write downs are charged fully when 
incurred.  The directors have assessed the useful life 
of the intellectual property and have determined that it 
has a finite useful life of 10 to 20 years. The intellectual 
property is amortised on a systematic basis matched to 
the expected future economic benefits over the useful 
life of the project. 

Intellectual property is amortised over 10-20 years in 
line with its useful life.

  The functional currency of each of the group’s entities 

is measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which that entity operates. 
The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional 
and presentation currency.

  Transaction and balances

  Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
functional currency using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign 
currency monetary items are translated at the year-
end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at 
historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange 
rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items 
measured at fair value are reported at the exchange 
rate at the date when fair values were determined.

  Exchange differences arising on the translation of 

monetary items are recognised in the income statement.

  Group companies

  The financial results and position of foreign operations 
whose functional currency is different from the group’s 
presentation currency are translated as follows:

- assets and liabilities are translated at year-end 
exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

- income and expenses are translated at average 

exchange rates for the period; and

- retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates 

prevailing at the date of the transaction.

  Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 

operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign 
currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These 
differences are recognised in the income statement 
in the period in which the operation is disposed. 
Intercompany loans are treated as investments for 
foreign currency translation purposes.

l.  Equity-settled compensation

  The group operates a number of share-based 

compensation plans. These include both a share option 
arrangement and an employee share scheme. The 
bonus element over the exercise price of the employee 
services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares 
and options is recognised as an expense in the income 
statement. The total amount to be expensed over the 
vesting period is determined by reference to the fair 
value of the shares of the options granted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

m. Comparative Figures

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments 
incorporated into the financial report 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 group.

Key Estimates — Impairment

The group assesses impairment of intangible assets at 
each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to 
the group that may lead to impairment of assets. At the 
date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to 
believe that no impairment triggers exist for intangible 
assets.

There is a significant risk of actual outcomes being 
different from those forecasted due to changes in 
economic or market conditions and events.

Key Estimates — Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity 
settled transactions with suppliers and employees by 
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as 
at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is 
determined using a Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 
24 for the inputs to the Black-Scholes model.

  When required by Accounting Standards, comparative 
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

n. Ordinary shares

  Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary 
shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

o. New accounting standards and interpretations

  A number of new and revised standards became 

effective for the first time to annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 July 2017. The adoption of these new 
standards and amendments has not had a material 
impact on the Group.

p. New accounting standards and interpretations not yet 

adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to 
standards are effective for annual periods beginning 
after 1 July 2017, and have not been applied in 
preparing these consolidated financial statements. 
Significant new standards include:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments - Refer to Note 27 for 
the Group’s financial instruments at reporting date: 
the Group’s financial instruments primarily comprise 
cash and cash equivalents and trade payables. 
Management are of the view that the standard will not 
have a significant impact on these types of financial 
instruments. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – 
Based on current revenue for the year ended 30 June 
2017, the application of this Standard is not expected to 
be significant. 

AASB 16 Leases - Based on current operating leases 
for the year ended 30 June 2017, the application of this 
Standard is not expected to be significant.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2017 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.238 and a weighted average 
remaining contractual life of 2.48 years. 

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative 
of future tender, which may not eventuate. Volatility of 52-69% and a risk free rate of 1.5-1.9% were used in the Black-
Scholes model. The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

No options were exercised during the year ended 30 June 2017. Included under employee benefits expense in the income 
statement is $1,081,063 (2016: $216,000) and relates, in full, to equity settled share-based payment transactions.

NOTE 26: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

There were no material events occurring after the reporting date.

NOTE 27: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a.   Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk and credit risk.

i.  

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate funding is 
maintained.

The remaining contractual maturities of the Group financial liabilities are:

12 months or less

1 year or more

Total

ii.   Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in 
a financial loss to the company. The company has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy 
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating 
the risk of financial loss from defaults. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to 
recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as 
disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables 
under financial instruments entered into by the company.

iii.   Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and 
services in currencies other than the group’s measurement currency. At 30 June 2017, the effect on the loss 
and equity as a result of a 10% increase in the exchange rates, with all other variables remaining constant would 
be an decrease in loss by $300,000 (2016: increase of loss of $717,000) and an decrease in equity by $300,000 
(2016: $717,000).

iv.  

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market interest rates. The group’s minimal exposure to interest rate risk, the only asset / liability 
affected by changes in market interest rates is Cash and cash equivalents.

b.   Financial Instruments

Net Fair Values

The aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, at the balance date, are approximated by 
their carrying values.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Eden Innovations Ltd (the Company and its subsidiaries (the 
Group)),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2017,  the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2017  and  of  its 

(i)  
performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the  Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations Act 2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the 
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We 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.

Key audit matter 

Funding and liquidity 

Refer to note 1 

Eden  Innovations  Ltd  is  a  company  with 
investments in clean technology solutions and 
innovative materials. The Group earns revenue 
from the sale of its products. At the end of the 
financial year, the size of the Group’s activities 
had not yet grown to a scale where it is able to 
rely on the revenue it generates to support its 
operations.  

Accordingly,  the  Group  is  reliant  on  funding 
from external sources to support its operations.  

The adequacy of funding and liquidity as well 
as  the  relevant  impact  on  the  going  concern 
assessment is a key audit matter which needs 
to be evaluated. 

Share-based payments 

Share options were issued to employees and 
consultants as detailed in Note 24.  

Management performed calculations to record 
the related share-based payment expense in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income. Due to the complex and judgmental 
estimates used in determining the valuation of 
the share-based payments, we consider 
management’s calculation of the share-based 
payment expense to be a key audit matter. 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

We  evaluated  the  Group’s  funding  and  liquidity 
position at 30 June 2017 and its ability to fund its 
strategic plan for the 12 month period from the 
date of this report. In doing so, we: 

• obtained management’s cash flow  forecast for 
the 15 months from the commencement of the 
2018 financial year; 

•  assessed  the  reliability  and  completeness  of 
management’s  assumptions  by  comparing  the 
forecast  cash  flows  to  those  of  current  and 
previous years as well as our understanding of 
future events and conditions;  

•  assessed  the  Group’s  capacity  to  raise  capital 
through the issue of shares under its placement 
capacity and the conversion of options; and  

•  considered  events  subsequent  to  year  end  to 
determine  whether  any  additional  facts  or 
information  have  become  available  since  the 
date  on  which  management  made 
its 
assessment. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  obtaining  management’s  expert’s  valuation  of 
the fair value of the share options issued during 
the financial year; 

•  assessing  the  competence,  capabilities  and 

objectivity of management’s expert; 

• obtaining an understanding and evaluating the 
appropriateness of the valuation model used by 
management’s expert; and 

• obtaining evidence as to the assumptions and 
the  valuation  model  used  by 

inputs 
management’s expert.  

to 

We also assessed the disclosures included in Note 
23  comply  with  the  requirements  of  AASB  2 
Share-Based Payment. 

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
in Eden Innovations Limited’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the 
consolidated financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 the 
other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s 
ability 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 entity or 
to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibility 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.
