Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDEREVIEW OF OPERATIONS
IMPACT OF COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has, for more than six months,
had a significant impact on sales and trials of EdenCrete®
products, both in the USA and in a number of other
countries, but at the date of this report, this impact on
EdenCrete® sales is starting to wane in the USA, as well as
Europe and India.
For example, the significant European construction
company that commenced in July 2019 an extensive
testing programme with EdenCrete® products in a range
of concrete mixes, and which was forced to shut all
research operations for over six months from early 2020,
has now at the date of this report re-opened its research
division and is about to commence the final phase of this
testing programme that is expected to be completed in
CY2020.
Similarly, in India, an extensive trial project using
EdenCrete®Pz by a large construction company was
completed in early February 2020, only for all projects
to then be suspended due to national lockdown
requirements. However, the company has, after a delay of
more than six months, issued its first purchase order for
EdenCrete®Pz.
Further, since the end of the financial year, Eden received
its first commercial order for EdenCrete® products from
Israel, to be used in commercial trials. This followed a
similar delay after initial trials in Israel were completed in
February 2020.
However, throughout this whole period, Eden has been
very fortunate in that its US operations in Colorado,
including both testing as well as production of all its
products, have been able to continue operating, with staff
observing social distancing and other policies that were
implemented, with no delays in production or testing
occurring. At the same time, none of Eden’s US staff or
their immediate families have tested positive for the
COVID-19 virus.
SALES AND MARKETING PROGRESS
During FY2020 year, total EdenCrete® sales (A$1,498,121)
were achieved, which is slightly lower than in FY2019
(A$1,614,546). The primary cause of this has been the
impact of COVID-19 on Eden’s current and potential
customers. However, this downward trend in sales over
the past six months is finally starting to reverse and is
not anticipated to be reflective of the longer-term sales
trajectory.
The restructuring and expansion of the US sales force,
the continuing growth in the number US EdenCrete®
customers, the increase in the number of US states
where sales and/or trials are occurring, supported by the
extension in the geographic footprint of EdenCrete® into
a number of other countries where EdenCrete® trials are
occurring, are expected to help drive increased sales in
the remainder of FY2021.
OptiBlend® sales are also anticipated to increase over
the coming periods as new commission-only sales
representatives, two of whom have been appointed, help
drive an increase in OptiBlend® sales in both India and
USA.
More details of the progress made during the year are
detailed below.
EDENCRETE®
USA - GROWTH OF US EDENCRETE® FOOTPRINT
Regular sales to repeat customers continued in a number
of US States, for a range of projects including building
construction and maintenance, driveways, industrial
flooring, shotcrete applications, and highway repairs.
During the year, sales of EdenCrete® products have
occurred in Georgia, Colorado, New York, South Carolina,
Ohio and Utah.
In addition, during the year, trials with new, and including a
number of potentially significant, customers that operate
in a range of market sectors, took place, are presently
underway, or are being planned in Georgia, Colorado, New
York, South Carolina, Idaho, Ohio, Utah, Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida and Pennsylvania.
Experience over the past three years has shown that a
significant proportion of the growth in EdenCrete® sales
over this time has occurred following successful trials or
projects, with news of the successes often being passed
on to new customers by various means, including by
contractors who undertook the successful project.
US EDENCRETE® SALES FORCE
To service the increasing US interest and help accelerate
the growth in sales, the structure of the US sales team
has been reviewed and two or three new sales people are
planned. To date one further member of the sales team
has been appointed.
Eden has also appointed a number of new sales
representatives that are selling EdenCrete® products on a
commission-only basis. To date four sales representatives
have been appointed, providing sales coverage in Texas, as
well as in the mid-west, south-east and north-east areas
of the US.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDEUS STATE DOT APPROVALS
To date 20 State Departments of Transportation (DOTs)
have approved EdenCrete® and 14 have approved
EdenCrete®Pz. The 20 State DOTs that have approved
EdenCrete® are:
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia
These 20 States between them have approximately:
• 48% of the total US population;
• 69,971 bridges that are structurally deficient or
functionally obsolete;
• 47% of the total number of such defective bridges in
the USA; and
• 51% of the total US land area.
GEORGIA INFRASTRUCTURE
Second GDOT/FHWA funded highway repair project
The second, jointly funded by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) (80%) and the Georgia Department
of Transportation (GDOT) (20%), highway repair project
that included EdenCrete®, commenced late in September
2019 and finished in February 2020.
The US$17.4 million project involved the replacement of
numerous sections of concrete pavement along 17.35
miles of Interstate Highway I-285 and State Road SR
407. Initially the project was estimated to involve the
replacement of 5,146 cubic yards of concrete, requiring
10,292 gallons of EdenCrete® worth US$257,300.
As happened with the first FHWA jointly funded project, where
the initial scope of the project was expanded by almost
40%, by the end of the second project EdenCrete worth
approximately US$550,000 was required to complete it.
Two such FHWA jointly funded projects are anticipated to
take place in Georgia during the remainder of FY 2021.
GDOT funded repair projects
During the year, four State funded repair projects requiring
approximately US$107,500 worth of EdenCrete® were
advertised for tender but due to delays, these projects did
not occur, and are now scheduled to take place sometime
in FY2021.
GDOT - First EdenCrete® bridge trial in Georgia
The first EdenCrete® bridge trial with GDOT commenced
on a bridge across Little River, with EdenCrete® being
tested in new concrete decking. The construction of the
new decking commenced in November 2019 and was
completed in December 2019.
The fresh properties of the EdenCrete® concrete satisfied
all the required specifications. Further, the EdenCrete®
concrete was tested for compressive strength and flexural
strength over a 28 day period, delivering the following
positive results:
After 24 Hours - Compressive strength
(12% over design)
After 72 Hours - Compressive strength
(37% over design)
After 28 Days - Compressive strength
(70% over design)
After 28 Days - Flexural strength
(41% over design)
2767 PSI
4790 PSI
6787 PSI
915 PSI
The performance of the concrete decking will be
monitored for the period of the trial, which could be up to
2 years. However, this monitoring period may be reduced
by GDOT if it is satisfied with the performance levels that
are achieved in other existing bridge trials of EdenCrete®
that are being conducted by other DOTs, some of which
have already been underway for more than a year.
GDOT Mainline Paving
Following the successful completion of a 12 months
field trial, EdenCrete® was approved for use on GDOT
construction and maintenance projects for mainline
paving. The trial took place on a state highway in Comer
County, Georgia and involved adding EdenCrete® into 80
yards of a new, two lane concrete highway (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Completed section of highway with added EdenCrete®.
The successful 12 months’ evaluation undertaken by
GDOT, that only commenced after the new roadway was
opened to traffic, resulted in the GDOT New Products
Evaluation Committee accepting EdenCrete® for use
in the construction and maintenance of new concrete
pavements under GDOT Specifications Sections 430 and/
or 439.
6
Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDEThis successful outcome opens the way for the possible
future use of EdenCrete® in the construction of new roads
and highways in Georgia. The total annual budget for new
roads (both asphalt and concrete) in Georgia currently
exceeds US$700 million per annum.
Georgia Port Authority - Port of Savannah
During the year, the Port of Savannah (part of the Georgia
Port Authority) conducted a trial of EdenCrete® in a section
concrete on one of its wharves that is subject to a very
heavy loading and abrasion from the wheels of the large
container cranes moving back and forth as containers are
loaded and unloaded (known as the “runway”) (see Figure
2). The concrete runways at the port are exposed to both a
salty environment and extreme rolling loads and abrasive
wear that cause cracking, abrasion and breakdown of the
concrete, requiring the worn concrete to be frequently
ripped up and replaced under a highly disruptive, scheduled
maintenance programme.
The trial was undertaken and all the laboratory trials
of the compressive strength of the concrete that
was used collectively showed that the EdenCrete®
concrete comfortably exceeded the minimum strength
requirements. The trial involved the monitoring of the
longer term performance of the concrete. This trial and
review of performance was successfully completed during
the first half of 2020. Following which EdenCrete® was
named in specifications for its first commercial GPA
project (500 CY of concrete), the date for which has not
yet been determined.
Further trials for GPA are also planned, including chloride
permeability, ASR mitigation, freeze/thaw protection,
chemical scaling resistance and shrinkage reduction.
Development of specialised EdenCrete® marine mix is
currently being undertaken at Eden’s Colorado laboratory.
The Port of Savannah, the third busiest container port in
the USA, is planning to nearly double its capacity over the
next 8 years, and along with opportunities at other ports
in Georgia as well as along both the US Atlantic coast
and the Gulf of Mexico, offers great potential for future
EdenCrete® sales.
In preparation for this, Eden has been developing for
several months its own EdenCrete® marine concrete
mix which it hopes will be approved and specified as the
concrete mix design in suitable projects in ports around
the USA in coming years.
Three Ready-Mix developing or selling proprietary
EdenCrete® concrete mixes
During the year Eden secured its first Georgia based
ready-mix operator that had developed a proprietary
concrete mix incorporating EdenCrete® products, that it is
now marketing this concrete mix on a regular basis.
This follows similar success in Colorado, where after the
development by one ready-mix operator of an EdenCrete®
enhanced concrete mix, others followed and now 8 ready-
mix operators have proprietary EdenCrete® mixes, leading
to rapidly increasing EdenCrete® sales in Colorado, which
is hoped will also occur in Georgia and adjoining South
Carolina.
COLORADO
Continued growth of EdenCrete® sales in Colorado
During the year, usage and sales of EdenCrete® products
in Colorado continued to rise in spite of obstacles raised
by COVID-19. Currently there are 8 ready-mix operators
and 4 shotcrete operators in Colorado using EdenCrete®
on a regular basis.
The 8 ready-mix companies, between them, have
EdenCrete® dispensing systems installed at 13 different
plant sites, that regularly use EdenCrete® products. These
8 companies also include 3 ready-mix companies (with
4 plants between them) that only commenced using
EdenCrete® in FY 2020.
Further, as a result of the improved performance and
durability delivered by EdenCrete® products, a growing
number of government bodies, contractors and property
owners are now regularly specifying EdenCrete® on a
repeat basis for a range of projects, some examples of
which are as follows:

Colorado DOT Central 70 Project
Since late 2018, EdenCrete® has been continuously used
in shotcrete on the Colorado DOT Central 70 project on
the Interstate Highway I-70. This project involves the
reconstruction of 10 miles of the I-70, including sinking
part of the highway. The EdenCrete® shotcrete mix is used
in buttress and retaining walls along the highway (see
Figures 3-5). The project is estimated to require 6,000-
10,000 cubic yards of shotcrete. EdenCrete® is added at
0.5 gallons per cubic yard.

using EdenCrete®shotcrete.
Figure 5. Retaining wall constructed under bridge using
EdenCrete® on Central 70 project.
Professional Sporting Stadium
During the year EdenCrete® was purchased for use in a
number of separate, often reasonably small, concrete
repair projects at different parts of a professional sporting
stadium (see Figures 6-13). The collective outcome from
the repeated successful performance of EdenCrete® in
these various situations (as well as others) has opened
up sporting stadiums and arenas as a new EdenCrete®
market that Eden is now actively targeting.

Town of Breckenridge
During the year, the Town of Breckenridge has specified
that EdenCrete® be included in a number of projects
undertaken by the Town since early in 2020. This follows
a successful result from an initial project involving
EdenCrete® that was carried out early in 2020.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
earlier South Carolina project, as well as in several other
similar projects. The contractor won the competitive tender
process for the new project, with a bid including EdenCrete®,
to construct a new 200,000 square foot (18,500 square
metres) external concrete industrial storage area that was
to be subject to heavy-duty wear at an industrial plant (see
Figure 15).
NEW YORK
EdenCrete®Pz – First Sale into New York Market
During the year Eden received its first order for
EdenCrete®Pz in New York from United Transit, a ready–
mix operator, for use in concrete that is used in the
construction of low-mid-rise buildings (see Figure 14). A
bulk tank and dispending system was installed, enabling
dosing of EdenCrete®Pz into the concrete during batching
in the same automated manner as other components are
added.
Subsequent to the first order, re-supply was not possible
for six months due to COVID -19 restrictions. Once these
restrictions were eased, a second delivery of EdenCrete®
was made towards the end of June 2020.
Figure 15. 200,000 square foot Industrial slab being poured.
This order supplied a combination of EdenCrete® and
EdenCretePz® to create tougher, more durable concrete
that is better able to handle both the heavy loading, and
the constant abrading forces from heavy forklift traffic. The
engineering firm engaged on the project approved a number
of design specifications for the concrete, including a mix
incorporating EdenCrete® and EdenCrete Pz®.
Significantly, due to the performance benefits delivered by
the EdenCrete® products, the engineering firm approved a
reduction by 7.5% in the design thickness of the EdenCrete®
concrete slab, compared with other mix designs, whilst still
meeting the required performance levels.
The successful contractor won the tender with a bid using
an EdenCrete® enhanced concrete, against a competitive
bid from another contractor that proposed a mix design
involving metallic fibres to achieve the required performance
specification
Three similar industrial flooring projects in South Carolina
have occurred with a second large company
As a result of subsequent recommendations by the
contractor involved in these earlier projects in South
Carolina, EdenCrete® trials were conducted with another
large company in South Carolina and a positive outcome
from these trials has now resulted in Eden having receiving
three separate orders for EdenCrete® to be used in three
similar warehouse projects in South Carolina for this second
company (see Figure 16).
OHIO
During the year the first order was received from an Ohio
based ready-mix company and a bulk tank and dispensing
system was installed in their plant. This represents the first
sale into Ohio.

SOUTH CAROLINA
Industrial Flooring and Hardstand Areas
A key target market for EdenCrete®is industrial flooring for
manufacturing / warehouse flooring, and hard stand areas.
Interest for similar applications, in the range of performance
benefits and project lifecycle cost savings delivered by
EdenCrete®, continues to grow amongst a range of general
contractors, architects, engineers, and ready-mix suppliers.
During the year, the first order was received for EdenCrete®
for use in a concrete storage area at a plant in South
Carolina for a major international tyre company. Following
the successful results delivered by EdenCrete®, Eden US
received its largest, repeat order (not related to a GDOT
project), to supply US$120,000 worth of EdenCrete® to the
same contractor who had previously used EdenCrete® this
Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDEwas due to no prior applications having been made to import
into Australia products containing carbon nanotubes.
After extensive communications over many months, NICNAS,
the Australian Government body that assesses chemical
products that are proposed to be manufactured in, or
imported into, Australia advised that it considers that it has
received sufficient information to enable it to commence
the formal assessment of the EdenCrete® products that
Parchem, wishes to import.
Commercial trials of EdenCrete®, which is being paid for
by the customers, have since commenced and Parchem
has already received approximately 40 requests to conduct
commercial trials. It is hoped that the final approval that
will enable unrestricted commercial sales in Australia to
commence, will be received later in 2020.

UTAH
INDIA
During the year two ready-mix plants and one shotcrete
operator installed storage and dispensing equipment to add
EdenCrete® in their standard concrete mixes.
ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, NORTH
CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA,
TEXAS, PENNSYLVANIA
During the year, trials with new and a number of potentially
significant customers that operate in a range of market
sectors took place, are presently underway or being planned
in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Wisconsin,
Oklahoma, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania.
This significant extension of the EdenCrete® footprint in
the US is an important development and is considered
likely to result in significantly increased US sales emerging
over the coming year. The recent appointment of the initial
commission-only sales representatives, who operate in
States where EdenCrete® products have not yet been
sold, is anticipated to accelerate this growth in the US
EdenCrete® footprint.
Further, based upon Eden’s experience over the past three
years a considerable proportion of the growth in EdenCrete®

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND EXCLUSIVE
DISTRIBUTOR
In November 2019, Parchem Construction Supplies Pty Ltd
(Parchem), the Australian and New Zealand distributor of the
EdenCrete® range of products, was successful in obtaining
approval in Australia for up to 60,000 litres of EdenCrete® to
be imported and trialled. The delay in obtaining this approval
During the year a series of meetings took place in India
with a number of major concrete manufacturers and/
or construction companies, as well as with a number of
relevant government agencies. A very positive response was
received from all groups.
As a result, a number of samples of Indian cement and fly
ash were dispatched to Eden in Colorado for preliminary
trialling, which produced positive results. In consequence
Eden’s chief scientist visited India a number of times and
participated in laboratory trials that were conducted by a
number of these large Indian companies.
Eden has, since the end of the financial year, received its
first purchase order to be used for commercial applications
in India, from Godrej Ready Mix, a part of the highly
respected Godrej Group of companies, with which Eden has
been developing a range of EdenCretePz® concrete mixes
with high fly ash content for some time.
EUROPE
Extensive trials of EdenCrete® products by a large European
construction company commenced in July 2019 and were
scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2020. However
due to COVID 19, the trials were shut down from February
2020 until August 2020.At the date of this report these trials
have recommenced, with finalisation anticipated before the
end of CY2020.
ISRAEL
A diversified Israeli company, that runs several ready-mix
plants has been undertaking repeated trials of EdenCrete®
products for a range of applications and is achieving
encouraging results. Subsequent to the end of the year
the Israeli company placed its first order of EdenCrete®
products that are to be used in a number of commercial
trials.

These sales represent a 29% increase over the aggregate

OptiBlend® sales will continue to increase over the coming
year in both the USA and India. The proposed appointment
of further suitable, commission-only sales representatives
could assist in achieving this outcome.
EDENPLASTTM
A Japanese plastics company has expressed an interest
in testing EdenPlast® and a concentrated master match
for testing by the Japanese company is presently being
made in Australia. A non-disclosure agreement to protect
each party’s intellectual property rights is currently being
finalized.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
USA Patents Allowed for EdenCrete® and EdenPlast®
During the year, the US Patent and Trademark Office issued
one application and allowed another application, both were
lodged in 2017. Details of these two USA patents are as
follows:
• US Patent application no. 15/597,198 has been allowed
and includes 24 claims directed to the production of the
EdenCrete® family of products; and
• US Patent No. 10,472,240 has issued and includes 16
claims directed to the production of the EdenPlast®
family of products.
In addition, corresponding patent applications have been
lodged in the USA that include claims directed to the
composition of the EdenCrete® and EdenPlast® family of
products. Corresponding patent applications have also
been lodged in five other countries pursuant to the Patent
Convention Treaty.
These two USA patents are both broad in their scope,
covering in each case the use of a wide variety of carbon
nanoparticles in the manufacture of concrete and plastic
products including carbon nanotube particles, carbon
nanofiber particles, graphene particles, graphite particles,
carbon black, polycrystalline carbon particles, nano-
diamonds and fullerene particles.
The two USA patents are intended to provide significant
protection in the USA for the considerable intellectual
property that Eden has developed over the past 10 years
in relation to the EdenCrete® and EdenPlast® family of
products.
Eden now holds ten USA patents protecting its technologies
in different areas, along with corresponding patents
in a number of other countries. Eden also holds three
other current USA patent applications that are still being
considered.

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:
¬ Executives receive a base salary (which is based on
factors such as length of service and experience),
superannuation (401k match), fringe benefits and share
performance rights.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee
share and option arrangements.
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

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDENOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
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 its controlled entities as at and
for the year ended 30 June 2020. 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 23
September 2020 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 and 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
$9,105,991 (2019: $9,216,320) and a cash outflow from
operating activities of $7,375,690 (2019: $7,173,986). The
directors are confident that the Group, subject to being
able to raise further capital or debt funding, will be able
to continue its operations as a going concern. Without
such capital and or funding, 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.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDENOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
c. Inventories
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable
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 is recognised when or as the Group transfers
control of products or provides services to a customer
at the amount to which the Group expects to be
entitled as the performance obligation is met. If the
consideration includes a variable component, the
expected consideration is adjusted for the estimated
impact of the variable component at the point of
recognition and re-estimated at every reporting period.
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.
Property, 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 property, 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.
assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment
6 – 20% straight line
Buildings
Land
4% straight line
Nil
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued
assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation
reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained
earnings.
h. Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the entity becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument. Financial
assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs.
Classification and subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial
assets are classified into the following categories:
• amortised cost
• fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
• equity instruments at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI)
• debt instruments at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI).
All income and expenses relating to financial assets
that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within
finance costs, finance income or other financial items.
The classification is determined by both the entity’s
business model for managing the financial asset and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
asset.
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if
the assets meet the following conditions (and are not
designated as FVTPL):
• they are held within a business model whose objective
is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual
cash flows
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
25
Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is
omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The entity’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most
other receivables fall into this category of financial
instruments.
Trade and other receivables
The entity makes use of a simplified approach in
accounting for trade and other receivables and records
the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses.
These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash
flows, considering the potential for default at any point
during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating,
the entity uses its historical experience, external
indicators and forward-looking information to calculate
the expected credit losses.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
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.
The entity’s financial liabilities include trade and other
Intellectual Property
payables and borrowings. Financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted
for transaction costs.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. All
interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in
an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or
loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,
or when the financial asset and substantially all the
risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is
extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Impairment
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit
losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair
value through profit or loss.
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 statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill
Intellectual property, which includes trademarks and
engineering knowledge, is included in the financial
statements at cost.
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.
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.
26
Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Exchange differences arising on the translation of
monetary items are recognised in the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
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 statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income 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
and performance rights plan. The total amount to be
expensed over the vesting period is determined by
reference to the fair value of the options or performance
rights 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.
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
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are
relevant to its operations and effective for the current
year, including AASB 16 Leases. The new and revised
Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations
do not have any material impact on the disclosures or
on the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated
financial statements.
AASB 16 Leases – The Group recognises leases using
the modified retrospective approach and applies the
low value and short term exemptions in recognising
leases in its financial statements. Upon application of
the standard, the Group continues to recognise leases
as lease expenses in profit or loss. There were no
changes required to the consolidated financial report to
recognise the requirements of AASB 16.
Impacts of standards issued but not yet adopted by the
Group
The Group has reviewed the new standards issued but
not yet adopted and does not expect that they will have
a material impact on the financial statements..
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.
Key Estimates - Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts
that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the consolidated entity based on known
information. This consideration extends to the nature
of the activities and geographic regions in which the
consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in
specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either
any significant impact upon the financial statements
or any significant uncertainties with respect to events
or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity
unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a
result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2020 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.111 and a weighted average
remaining contractual life of 1.96 years. No options were exercised during the year ended 30 June 2020.
Historical volatility has been the basis used for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is
indicative of future tender, which may not eventuate. Volatility of 82-109% and a risk free rate of 0.88-2.24% were used in
the Black-Scholes models. The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in
the future.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDENOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
NOTE 25: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a.
Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group 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

6,876,394

$

2,231,908
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. The risk is measure using sensitivity
analysis and cash flow forecasting. At 30 June 2020, 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 a decrease in loss by
$630,000 (2019: decrease of loss of $640,000) and an increase in equity by $460,000 (2019: $600,000). A
10% decrease in the exchange rates would result in an equal and opposite impact on the loss after tax and
equity.
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. The Interest
Bearing Liabilities of the Group are all fixed rate and will not fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates.
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.

Eden Innovations Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 58 109 200 900Annual Report 2020ASX Code: EDE
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 2020, 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:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 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.
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 assets 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 2020ASX Code: EDE
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Impairment assessment of Intangible
assets and Plant and equipment
(Refer to Notes 11 and 12)
cash generating units
As at 30 June 2020 the Group’s EdenCrete® and
(CGUs)
Optiblend®
comprised Plant and equipment (P&E) and
intangible assets. The carrying values of P&E and
intangible assets as at 30 June 2020 were,
respectively, $5,779,205 (2019: $6,166,662) and
$8,223,113 (2019: $6,524,192). Impairment was
assessed by the Group at the CGU level by
considering if impairment indicators were present
as at 30 June 2020. Management determined that
there were no such indicators of impairment.
The impairment assessment for the Intangible
assets and Plant and equipment is a key audit
matter due to:
the significance of the Intangible assets and
Plant and equipment 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.
to evaluate
the Group's
We performed the following procedures, among
impairment
others,
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;
enquired of management and
compared actual sales performance subsequent
to year end to forecast sales for the same period;
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:
- movements in market interest rates or other
market rates of 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 2020, 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 2020ASX Code: EDE
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/ar2.pdf.
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
