Despite originally being specifically developed to target pozzolan mixes, significant positive effect has been found with EdenCrete®Pz in some regional straight cement mixes due to the chemical composition of certain cements. A number of regional commercial slag, fly ash, and straight Ordinary Portland Cement mixes, from across the US, have been tested with EdenCrete®Pz and positive results of up to 30% increase in compressive strength have been achieved with relatively low dosage rates. Field trials have begun or are being planned for these successful trials. Scale-up and transfer of EdenCrete®Pz from research and development to large-scale production capacity was successfully achieved. Throughout the development of EdenCrete®Pz over the past 18 months, the focus was on making a product which could easily be transferred to production and where all of the processes were easily scalable. This has now been achieved. Further product development of a wider range of specialty variations of EdenCrete® for various specific specialist concrete applications is continuing. Eden expanded its highly skilled and experienced product development team that now includes a highly qualified and experienced chemist, a chemical engineer and various concrete experts. The newly constructed, well-equipped product development facility within Eden’s Mead Way plant includes both a chemistry laboratory, and concrete production and testing facilities. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 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 made expanding Eden’s product range with the development of EdenCrete®Pz and EdenCrete®HC. Whilst sales of the Optiblend® dual fuel system remained slow due to limited oil and gas exploration drilling taking place, nevertheless A$0.6 million worth of Optiblend® dual fuel systems were sold in India and the USA during the year. EDENCRETE® (Eden 100%) EDENCRETE® NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT During the year Eden completed the development and in-house testing of both EdenCrete®HC, a high concentration, lower cost version of the original EdenCrete®, and EdenCrete®Pz, a new product designed for use in concrete made using a combination of Portland cement and pozzolanic cements. EdenCrete®Pz is chemically different from standard EdenCrete®, with the only common feature being the presence of carbon nano-materials. All other components have been changed. Pozzolanic cements represent approximately 9% of all cement used in the US but because it generally comprises between only 15-40% of the total cementitious material in a concrete mix, pozzolanic cements are estimated to be used in 30-35% of all concrete produced in the US, making this a significant target market. The year has seen significant progress in both the testing of EdenCrete®Pz in a range of commercial cement mixes from across the U.S. and its scale-up for large-scale production. A typical dosage of EdenCrete®Pz is far lower than that required for EdenCrete®HC, being in the range of 12-20% of the standard EdenCrete®HC dosage rate. The low dosage requirement makes EdenCrete®Pz both economical and very suitable for export purposes. A selection of targeted high volume regional commercial pozzolan mixes has been trialled in the Eden Innovations laboratories in Denver and New York, where regional materials were shipped in and batching done in accordance with the regional procedures. The purpose of these laboratory trials has been to secure compatibility of the EdenCrete® products with targeted high volume regional mixes, find optimal dosages and be able to predict performance before going live in the field, and to greatly enhance the success rate of our field trials. 4 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyASTM Trials of EdenCrete®Pz ASTM C494 “S” trials of EdenCrete®Pz have commenced at an independent laboratory and will take 12 months to complete fully, although earlier sales for some applications are anticipated as more results progressively become available. The ASTM specifications mandate that admixtures must be tested in a specified 100% Portland cement mix (i.e. containing no pozzolanic cement). To be successful in this ASTM trial, EdenCrete®Pz must simply not reduce the performance of the concrete when compared with the same mix that contains no EdenCrete®Pz. For the ASTM trial, EdenCrete®Pz was added to the mix at the rate of 18.5 ounces (0.55 litres) per cubic yard (0.7646 m3) of concrete. Encouragingly, to date the results for compressive strength and flexural strength that have been received in these ASTM trials, show the strength of the concrete to which the EdenCrete®Pz had been added, to be greater than the strength of the standard mix. NTPEP Trials of EdenCrete®HC and EdenCrete®Pz NTPEP trials of both new products are to commence in early February 2018 at an independent laboratory appointed by NTPEP. These tests will take 12 months to complete. Successful NTPEP trial results should enable these new products to be approved for use by the various State Departments of Transportation that exclusively require the NTPEP testing process to have first been completed before approving any new product for use on their roads and bridges. GEORGIA FHWA approves use of EdenCrete® in federally funded repair projects in Georgia The US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has approved the use of EdenCrete® in concrete used by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in federally funded repair projects in Georgia (and to which FHWA contributes 80% of the costs). GDOT has advised that it expends an estimated $18 Million annually on federally funded concrete rehabilitation projects, involving the replacement of approximately 22 lane miles (35.4 km) of pavement. GDOT already includes the use of EdenCrete in all state funded, full depth concrete slab rehabilitation projects in Georgia. GDOT also advised that it invests an estimated $20 Million annually in state funded concrete rehabilitation projects, estimated to involve replacement of approximately 28 lane miles (45.1 km) of pavement. In January 2017 EdenCrete® was added to the GDOT Approved Product List, and the GDOT specifications for the 24 hour repair mix for full depth slab replacements were amended to include the addition of EdenCrete® at 2 gallons/ cubic yard of concrete. The approval for use of EdenCrete® in GDOT federally funded projects followed a review in May 2017 by FHWA of the performance of EdenCrete® in the following projects in Georgia: • the GDOT I-20 field trail (August 2015), • the GDOT I -16 commercial slab replacement project (February 2017), • the GDOT State Highway new concrete road pavement field trail (March 2017), • the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) field trial at a bus depot in Atlanta (May 2016), and • a very heavy load bearing, high abrasion application on a hard-stand area at a large private factory (April 2016). This initial FHWA acceptance in Georgia of the use of EdenCrete® in federally funded repair projects is a major advance in the EdenCrete® marketing programme and may assist in gaining FHWA approvals for use of EdenCrete®, in due course, in other States. 5 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyREVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued) First Federally Funded Repair Project in Georgia GDOT selected the first federally funded project in which EdenCrete® is proposed to be used, to be a full depth concrete slab replacement project on Interstate Highway I–16, involving replacement of approximately 11 lane miles (17.7 km) of pavement. The estimated EdenCrete budget for this project is ~US$525,000. The contract for this joint GDOT/FHWA project, that included a number of additional performance requirements, was signed by the successful contractor on 6 July 2018 and must be completed by 31 March 2019. The performance requirements enable EdenCrete® to be used in this project. The first tanker load of EdenCrete® was dispatched to Georgia on 21 September 2018 and the project is expected to commence in early October 2018. MARTA At the request of the MARTA, a joint White Paper has been prepared by Eden and MARTA’s consulting engineers, recording the results of successful laboratory tests and significant performance improvements delivered by EdenCrete® in the field trial undertaken by MARTA in May 2016 at the Atlanta Brady Mobility Centre. This is an important step towards the possible inclusion of EdenCrete® in suitable forthcoming MARTA projects as it formally completes the successful field trial. MARTA is the primary public transport operator in Atlanta, the sixth fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S., with population that is expected to reach 8 million by 2020. MARTA operates a network of bus routes and a rapid transit system consisting of 48 miles (77km) of rail track with 38 train stations. It carries, in total, over 430,000 passengers per day, the sixth largest number of any U.S. city. A number of alternatives for expansion are being considered which could generate significant opportunities for the use of EdenCrete® in new projects. MARTA also undertakes considerable annual maintenance. Follow-up Order in Georgia for Ultra Heavy Wear and Abrasion Project During the year Eden received a follow-up order for 1,400 gallons (5,500 litres) of EdenCrete® for use in concrete at a railway wagon repair plant in Georgia, to replace approximately 4,100 square yards (3,428m2) of concrete hardstand area that is subject to significant wear and abrasion. This follows the successful performance of EdenCrete® enriched concrete in an earlier project undertaken at the same site in April 2016 and an earlier field trial undertaken in September 2015. The project, at a major regional maintenance facility in Georgia owned by a large US company where very heavy steel components from a national rail fleet are repaired and maintained, took a month to complete and involved replacement of approximately 700 cubic yards of concrete to which US$35,000 of EdenCrete® was added at 2 gallons/yard3 of concrete (9.055 litres/m3). The concrete section that was replaced in April 2016 was exposed to extreme rolling loads, impact loads, and abrasive wear, with a loading of up to 40,000 pounds per square yard that usually severely cracked the concrete and required frequent replacement. The new, far greater area of concrete that was recently replaced, will not be exposed to such a heavy loading, but will still be exposed to significant rolling loads, impact loads and abrasive wear. The use of EdenCrete® in the earlier project enabled the entire replacement section to be constructed with significantly reduced less materials and labour than would have been required for the alternative new ultra-high strength mix design, delivering a 45% reduction in the total costs of that project compared with the budgeted cost of carrying out the same work using the new ultra- high strength mix design. Other Georgia Trials and Sales On-going trials that are achieving positive results are being undertaken by Eden in conjunction with a large Georgia ready-mix concrete company that operates in a number of States, developing a number of suitable EdenCrete® enriched concrete mixes that could become the company’s standard mixes for possible road and bridge applications as well as for coastal and marine applications. Commercial EdenCrete® Sales in Georgia are emerging. Since the end of the year, Eden received an order for over US$20,000 worth of EdenCrete® for use in a new commercial building. TEXAS The concrete market in Texas is amongst the largest of all States in the U.S., with the two year budget for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) currently running at approximately US$28 billion. Texas has 52,561 bridges, the most of any State, of which 9,998 or 19% were classified by the US Department of Transportation in July 2015, as being “structurally deficient/ functionally obsolete”, being the most bridges of any State in the US that were classified as structurally deficient/ functionally obsolete. TxDOT has approved the use of EdenCrete® in two concrete mixes for Valley Prestress Products, Inc. (“Valley”), a major Texas pre-cast/pre-stressed concrete manufacturer, for use in bridge beams and other pre- cast products. During the year Valley agreed with Eden to extend the coverage of the first bulk, three year, EdenCrete® supply agreement entered into by Eden with Valley at the end of March 2017. Under the extended 6 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlycontract, in addition to supplying the main Valley plant, Eden agreed to supply two additional plants owned by Valley, subject to first developing concrete mixes incorporating EdenCrete® that are suitable for the range of pre-stressed and precast concrete products that each of the two plants will use to produce a range of products for TxDOT. A bulk delivery storage tank now has been installed at a second Valley plant. During the year over US$270,000 of EdenCrete® was supplied to Valley. During the year, a trial of EdenCrete® took place with another TxDOT approved precast manufacturer for possible use in TxDOT bridge beams. The trial was successful and Eden is hopeful that it may lead to future orders from this manufacturer. Possible additional trials with other precast manufacturers are also currently under discussion. The overall progress in the marketing of EdenCrete® that has been achieved in the Texas since marketing began 18 months ago is considered very encouraging. COLORADO Significant progress is being made in Colorado on a range of commercial and infrastructure projects, particularly in relation to applications requiring reduced permeability and abrasion resistance that help minimise problems resulting from the multiple freeze/ thaw events in each year, abrasive wear from snow ploughs and chemical breakdown of the concrete from application of de-icing salts and road chemicals to concrete road and bridge surfaces, due to the cold winter weather conditions in Colorado. Denver, at an altitude of 1,600m, experiences on average 300 days of sunshine annually, 155 days when the daytime temperature reaches 21 °C, and 157 days when the temperature falls to 0 °C or lower. This produces a high number of freeze/thaw events, when water in surficial cracks or in micro-pores within the concrete, repeatedly freezes and expands, progressively cracking the concrete. CDOT State Highway 287 Project – First CDOT Project In February 2018 EdenCrete® was trialled against a competitive product for compressive strength and abrasion resistance by Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), in the replacement of a street exit lane and an inlet lane onto State Highway 287 (see Figure 1. The relative performances of EdenCrete® of two EdenCrete® mixes and the competitive product (a surficial coating to the concrete) are being assessed in laboratory trials and monitored in the field over an extended period. Figure 1. CDOT State Highway 287 Project 7 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyREVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued) In the laboratory trials of the concrete used in the project, at the times specified in the ASTM testing standards, both EdenCrete® mixes (with different dosages of EdenCrete®), in all trials outperformed the reference concrete (i.e. the same concrete mix but without any EdenCrete®) and importantly, significantly outperformed the competitor (see Tables 1 and 2 below). Table 1. Compressive Strengths (psi*) Reference Competitor EC @2 gpy** EC @ 1 gpy** 2-days 2980 3070 (3.02% better) 3690 (23.83% better) 3470 (13.03% better) 7-days 4250 4160 (2.12% worse) 4950 (16.47% better) 4610 (8.47% better) 28-days 5080 5290 (4.13% better) 6370 (25.39% better) 5950 (17.13% better) * 1psi= 6.895 kpa ** 1gpy = 4.95 litres/m3 Table 2. Abrasion Resistance (measured as % mass loss) Reference Competitor EC @ 2 gpy** EC @ 1 gpy** 28 Days -7.2% -6.6% (8.44% better) -4.6% (36.12% better) -5.8% (19.44% better) This encouraging start to an important field trial gives EdenCrete® its first direct exposure to a CDOT field trial in concrete used on a State Highway. The concrete will be exposed to the Denver climatic conditions; snow, the repeated freeze/ thaw events and resulting high levels of application of de-icing salts and road chemicals which cause both scaling of the concrete and corrosion of steel re-bar in the concrete when the salt permeates the concrete, as well as the use of highly abrasive snow ploughs that are used after heavy snowfall. Relevantly, the competitive product is only a thin surface coating, and will only provide benefits until it wears through this thin layer, after which the standard concrete (i.e. the Reference) will then be exposed and the subsequent rate of wear will then increase unless a further coating of the competitive product is added, an expensive solution that would be disruptive whilst being carried out. The EdenCrete® is however evenly mixed throughout the concrete and is an integral component that will continue to deliver superior benefits until all the concrete is worn away down to the sub-surface layer, a most unlikely event under normal operating conditions. CDOT – Other projects CDOT is also planning to trial EdenCrete® in concrete pavement on snow-prone mountain passes on Interstate Highway I-70, to try and minimise snow tyre chain wear problems. This will be a new experimental programme for CDOT, which is particularly interested in the ability of EdenCrete® to increase both the density and durability of concrete. Its objective is to minimise both the annual maintenance costs and the extended time delays suffered by the travelling public from the frequent repair work. Details of the project are yet to be determined and must be resolved before the trial will be approved. If positive test results are achieved, the potential to be written into CDOT specifications is probable, with a likely outcome of regular EdenCrete® sales. Because EdenCrete® is unique; funding support for this project may be available under the CDOT Road X Program and/ or the CDOT Surface Treatment Program. Negotiations are beginning, and proposals should be submitted to CDOT during 2018. Denver public works – Follow up trials Following positive results from 2017 trials, the Denver Public Works undertook a further trial of EdenCrete® in two sections of concrete pavement (see Figure 2) where use of significant quantities of de-icing salts and road chemicals breaks down the concrete. Figure 2. One of Two New Trial Sections of Concrete Pavement 8 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only It is hoped that positive results will translate into the Denver Public Works commencing to use EdenCrete® on a broad scale, and could also potentially lead to its use in other areas of Colorado by other government agencies. Relevantly, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) recently added EdenCrete® to its Approved Products List. The results from these trails also have relevance for the future marketing of EdenCrete® across the USA and elsewhere for use on highways, roads, bridges, sidewalks, airport runways and anywhere where concrete is subject to snow and ice and de-icing salts and road chemicals are commonly used. Town of Gypsum Project The Town of Gypsum is trialling EdenCrete® in concrete on the deck surfaces of four small golf cart/pedestrian bridges that span the Eagle River. The work at the golf course was completed on 8 March 2018 (see Figure 3). The trials are to assess the performance of EdenCrete in respect to scaling, abrasion resistance, crack reduction, and overall durability. Figure 3. Gypsum Golf Course Bridge Project Based on these trials, the Town of Gypsum intends to select the concrete mix design, using EdenCrete®, to be used on a forthcoming traffic roundabout replacement project within the town of Gypsum on State Highway 6. Eden has also been advised that subject to satisfactory performance of EdenCrete® in this the roundabout replacement project, the Town of Gypsum is also considering using EdenCrete® appropriate applications in its Master Development Plan. EdenCrete® was selected to be trialled to try and achieve a more aesthetic looking and longer lasting concrete, based upon its prior success with scaling, abrasion resistance and crack reduction. The replacement of these four bridges is a small portion of, and the start of the far larger Master Development Plan that the Town of Gypsum has been preparing and which was finalized in 2017. This includes commercial (Town Centre and Business District redevelopment and new construction), infrastructure (curb and gutter, roadway and roundabout construction) and a US$200 million school construction projects to name a few. Town of Vail - West Vail Roundabout Concrete Repair project EdenCrete® was also included in a traffic roundabout repair project that was installed in April 2018 in the resort town of Vail, located in the Rocky Mountains at an attitude of 2,445 metres. It receives significantly more snowfall than Denver and is subject to a far greater usage of snow ploughs, studded snow tyres and chains along with heavy applications of de-icing salts and road chemicals. The US$350,000 repair project included the removal and replacement of the concrete approach slab within the roundabout in which EdenCrete® was added. The replaced concrete had been subjected to harsh abrasion, exacerbated by studded snow tyres and chains. EdenCrete® was selected to provide scaling/abrasion resistance and crack reduction. 9 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued) PROGRESS IN OTHER U.S. STATES Idaho Following negotiations that occurred during the financial year, in July 2018, a full depth, concrete slab replacement trial with EdenCrete® was conducted by Idaho Department of Transport (IDOT). There is no definite timeline for evaluation by IDOT to define success. IDOT will test that compressive strengths are met. Evaluation will include visual observation of EdenCrete® slabs over a period of time relative to the performance of surrounding slabs placed without EdenCrete®, to assess long-term durability. Eden will also conduct abrasion, split-tensile, and permeability testing. North Carolina Following negotiations that occurred during the financial year, in July 2018, a bridge trial (see Figure 4) with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) of EdenCrete® commenced in early July and the pours were completed in August. Virginia VDOT is also currently looking for suitable opportunities for trialling EdenCrete® for bridge and road repair applications. Once they determine the best options, Eden will undertake preliminary trials with the chosen specifications before the trials are undertaken. US State Departments of Transportation Approval Status During the year Eden received approval for the use of EdenCrete® from the Departments of Transportation in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and West Virginia. Trials also commenced in Idaho and North Carolina and projects undertaken in Colorado. EdenCrete® is now regular commercial use in DOT projects in Georgia and Texas. Further, it is approved for the use in one or more applications by the Departments of Transportation in a total of 10 States of the U.S., collectively representing approximately: • 25% of the total US population; • 39% of the total US land area; • 37,800 bridges that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete*; or • 26% of the total number of such bridges in the USA*. * DOT Fact Sheets Highlight Grim State of US Roads and Bridges – 9 July 2015 Figure 4. Bridge used for North Carolina DOT trial EdenCrete® is being added to half of the items of the bridge that are being repaired including a barrier rail, a bent end and an approach slab, with the other half to be reference. North Carolina is a potentially very large market for EdenCrete®. In 2015, in a report on the state of repair of the roads and bridges across all States of the U.S., the Federal Highway Administration reported that of the 18,168 bridges in North Carolina, 5,534 (or 30.5%) were structurally deficient or functionally obsolete*. The IDOT pavement trial and the NCDOT bridge trial represent further significant progress in the marketing progress of EdenCrete®, bringing to a total of five States in the USA where a State DOT is either using or permitting the use of EdenCrete® in concrete mixtures in infrastructure projects (Georgia, Texas, and Colorado), or has trials underway. 10 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyFigure 5. Map of USA showing current status of DOTs Approvals EdenCrete® is a Type S admixture. Each DOT handles Type S admixtures differently. Some have them on their Qualified Products List (QPL) or Approved Products List (APL). QPL and APL mean the same thing, but different states use different nomenclature. Conversely, the State may choose not to have Type S admixtures on the QPL or APL and may simply allow them to be used on a project- by-project basis or mix design approval process. That is what the Oregon DOT has chosen to do and is similar to Texas and Arkansas DOTs. Oregon DOT does not have Type S admixtures (EdenCrete® is a Type S admixture) on the QPL or APL and may simply allow them to be used on a project-by-project basis or mix design approval process. Oregon DOT will evaluate the proposed mix design for the project and determine its applicability with EdenCrete®. In Georgia, EdenCrete® is approved for use in the GDOT 24 hour full depth slab replacements mix and is included in the GDOT specifications for full depth slab replacements. In addition the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has now approved the use of EdenCrete® in concrete used by the Georgia GDOT in repair projects in Georgia that are partly federally funded (and to which FHWA contributes 80% of the costs). EdenCrete® was used by GDOT in its first commercial, highway repair project in March 2017 and further sales are anticipated in the current financial year. EdenCrete® is also undergoing a 12 months’ field trial for new road construction in Georgia that will conclude after 12 months of service, which will be sometime during May 2019. Eden anticipates that the initial FHWA approval for use in the repair projects in Georgia may well help should future FHWA approval be required in any other state (where EdenCrete® is specified by name). In Texas, TxDOT has approved the use of EdenCrete® in two proprietary concrete mixes used by a precast manufacturer of pre-stressed beams for bridges, in which EdenCrete® is now being used on a regular basis. Test work with a number of other TxDOT approved precast manufacturers has either been carried out or is also under discussion. As described above, the first field trials on roads in Colorado and Idaho have now occurred. Similarly a bridge trial in North Carolina has taken place. Eden is discussing possible further DOT trials. This includes discussions related to possible DOT bridge trials of EdenCrete® in both Georgia and Virginia. 11 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyNEW YORK Trials of EdenCrete® products, in various concrete mixes and for a range of possible commercial applications, have been undertaken with both a large, national ready-mix company and with a national shotcrete company. These trials follow considerable laboratory testing and product development and are hoped will lead to commercial applications in the reasonably short term. KOREA Following successful trials in Colorado using three versions of Korean cement, EdenCrete® was sent to Korea and trials were successfully undertaken by the Korean government testing laboratory during the first half of 2018. Following these trials, in July 2018, Eden signed a binding Memorandum of Agreement (“Agreement”) with KC Industry Co., Ltd. (“KC”) (www.kccond.co.kr), a leading Korean precast concrete manufacturer, to jointly develop EdenCrete® enriched concrete, mortar and grout mix designs for use by KC in the Republic of Korea (“Korea”) and elsewhere, to improve their technical performance. KC, listed on KONEX (Korea Exchange), is a Korean precast concrete group that uses technology and innovation to deliver world-leading products for all sectors of the Korean precast concrete market. It has a significant research, testing and development capability (that has developed a number of patented products) and upon which it has built its position as a leader in the Korean precast concrete market, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure including bridges, subways, and tunnels. It services the whole of the Korean market, operating its own large pre-cast plant at Yeoju, as well as having five other plants that manufacture for it on a contract basis, using KC’s designs and under its quality control, that are spread across Korea. Additionally, KC owns two mobile precast manufacturing plants, with which it has also undertaken projects in the Philippines and Vietnam. In addition to use in pre-cast concrete products, KC intends to also use EdenCrete® in a broader range of target markets including new concrete highway pavement construction, repairs and road barriers. Eden and KC entered into the Agreement to collectively undertake the necessary testing and development (the “Testing and Development”) to integrate EdenCrete® into KC’s existing precast concrete products as well as to develop other cement based products, including mortars and grouts, that incorporate EdenCrete® for KC to use and market into the wider Korean market. KC shipped Korean cement, fly ash, and blast furnace slag to Eden’s Colorado laboratory and testing is now successfully completed and trials by KC in Korea for both precast applications and highway construction are planned for the fourth quarter of 2018. The Agreement with KC supersedes an earlier, non-binding memorandum of understanding that was entered into by Eden in June 2016 with a different Korean company and that has ended. JOINT RESEARCH PROJECTS High strength CNT enriched concrete The three-year 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 no reinforcing steel, continued during the year. Positive results have been achieved in a number of areas and are being followed up. EdenPlast™ / CNT Enriched Polymers and Plastics The jointly funded research project between Eden, the University of Queensland (“UQ”) and the Australian Research Council (“ARC”) in Brisbane for the development on a new method for producing carbon nanotube (“CNT”) enriched thermoplastic composites, continued during the year, focussed on bringing this project to commercialisation as soon as possible, and some very encouraging progress was made, with a US patent application arising out of this research, having been lodged and a second application currently being drafted. This project was awarded an ARC Linkage Research Grant worth A$310,000 that is payable over three years to meet part of the costs, and to which project both Eden and UQ also contribute. OPTIBLEND® DUAL FUEL SYSTEM (EDEN 100%) OptiBlend® Sales During the year, Eden’s wholly owned U.S. and Indian subsidiaries, sold Optiblend® kits and parts to the value of A$600,000. Optiblend® Background Eden has developed an efficient dual fuel system that is capable of operating on diesel engines and displacing up to 70% of the diesel fuel with natural gas. If Hythane™ fuel (hydrogen enriched natural gas) is used in place of natural gas the displacement of diesel fuel could be as high as 80%. The use of the natural gas will greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, in places where natural gas is cheaper than diesel, will also reduce fuel costs. It has significant market potential particularly in the diesel- powered generator set (“genset”) market. 12 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyLazaros Nikeas Also based in the U.S., Mr Nikeas is an experienced investment and private equity professional who brings over 17 years of US finance experience to the Board.

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 (401k match), 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%, or 401k match and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. 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 share 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 ESOP options not exercised before or on the date of termination lapse.

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 2018. 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 27 September 2018 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. Going Concern 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 has reported a net loss for the year of $10,824,707 (2017: $11,263,770) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $9,204,370 (2017: $8,451,213). The directors are confident that the Group, subject to being able to raise further capital, will be able to continue its operations as a going concern. Without such capital, the net loss for the year and the cash outflow from operating activities indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuing applicability of the going concern basis of accounting is dependent upon the Group’s ability to source additional finance. Unless additional finance is received the Group may need to realise assets and settle liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ from the amounts at which they are stated in these financial statements. 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 21 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, Eden Innovations Holdings Pty 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. 26 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 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. 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. 27 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. k. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances 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 financial year; 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 an employee share option plan. 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. m. Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 28 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 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. The following standards are effective from 1 July 2018 or later, as indicated. AASB 9 – Financial Instruments (effective from 1 July 2018) AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introducing new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets. The Group has reviewed in financial assets and liabilities and does not expect the standard to have a material impact. AASB 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective from 1 July 2018) The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue which replaces AASB 118 and AASB 111. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. Management has assessed the effects of applying the new standard on the Group’s financial statements and has concluded there will not be a material impact. AASB 16 – Leases (effective from 1 July 2019) AASB 16 will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The exceptions are only short-term and low-value leases. Management has assessed the effects of applying the new standard and as at 30 June 2018 the impact will be immaterial. NOTE 2: REVENUE Operating activities — sale of goods or services Total Revenue 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 finite intangible assets and property, plant & equipment 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 the Group’s intangible assets and property, plant & equipment are not impaired. 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 3b for the inputs to the Black-Scholes model. 2018 $ 2017 $ 1,317,960 1,317,960 949,467 949,467 29 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 3: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 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 2018 $ 1,279,697 984,296 2,263,993 2017 $ 2,156,499 1,154,260 3,310,759 Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the company. The Group 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 Group 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 companies’ functional currency. At 30 June 2018, 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 $800,000 (2017: decrease of loss of $300,000) and a decrease in equity by $300,000 (2017: $700,000). 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.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors. _________________________________ Douglas H Solomon Director Dated this 27th day of September 2018 41 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use onlyIndependent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Eden Innovations Limited 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 2018, 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 2018 and of its performance (i) 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. Material uncertainty relating to going concern Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 of the Financial Report, which indicates that the Group will require further funding in the next twelve months from the date of this report to fund its planned operating costs. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its asses and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. 42 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only Key audit matter CGU impairment assessment As at 30 June 2018 the Group’s EdenCrete and Optiblend cash generating units (CGUs) comprised property plant and equipment (PPE) and intangible assets. The carrying values of PPE and intangible assets as at 30 June 2018 were, respectively, $10,690,384 (2017: $10,463,280) and $4,907,542 (2017: $3,711,401). Impairment was assessed by the Group at the CGU level by considering if impairment indicators were present. Management determined that there were no such indicators of impairment. The impairment assessment for the CGUs is a key audit matter due to:   the significance of the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets balances to the statement of financial position; and the judgement involved in the impairment indicator assessment due to the need to make estimates about future events and other circumstances. How our audit addressed the key audit matter We performed the following procedures, among others, to evaluate the Group's impairment assessment: • assessed management’s determination of the Group’s CGUs based on our understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and the economic environment in which the segments operate. We also analysed the internal reporting of the Group to assess how earnings streams are monitored and reported; • compared actual sales performance for the year to sales of the preceding year; • enquired of management and inspected a selection of Board of Directors’ meeting minutes to assess whether there were any: - - observable indications that the asset values have declined during the year significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use; significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the year, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated; or significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity during the year, or any are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used. - • We also considered whether: rates of - movements in market interest rates or other market return on investments during the year are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an asset’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially; there was evidence of obsolescence or physical damage of assets comprising the CGUs; and the market capitalisation of the Group was significantly lower than Eden Innovation’s net assets at balance date. - - 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 2018, 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. 43 Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2018ASX Code: EDEFor personal use only 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. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at The Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 16 to 18 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Eden Innovations Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
