Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
1. RESULTS FOR FULL‑YEAR
ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2013
The consolidated entity earned a net profit during
the year of $1,562,746 (2012: $10,181,971 loss)
on revenues of $29,882,393 (2012: $21,919,748).
Net cash used by operating activities was $2,646,482
(2012 ‑ $3,784,501 provided by). As at 31 December 2013,
the consolidated entity had cash of $4,048,005
(2012 ‑ $6,686,194) of which $97,000 (2012 ‑ $400,393)
is restricted as it secures bank guarantees on existing
contracts with local and overseas customers. The cash
will become unrestricted when the contract is concluded
or renegotiated.
These results are broadly in line with management
expectations. The expected break‑even result
was improved by a small increase in revenue late
in 2013 but otherwise the full year was executed
to a management plan.
The overall net profit was 5.2% of revenue compares
favourably to the significant loss from the previous year.
EOS undertook a significant restructure in 2012
to permit break‑even operations on reduced revenue
of $30 million, and the result confirms the outcome
of that restructure.
It is also noteworthy that for the first time both
the defence systems sector and the space sector
were profitable. The respective profit levels bear
little relation to the outlook for these sectors, but the
results do indicate improving execution of contracts
and programs in both sectors. This will be particularly
important going forward.
2. DEFENCE SYSTEMS SECTOR
This sector develops, markets, manufactures and
supports remote weapon systems [RWS] and related
products in global markets. Key developments during
2013 relate to markets, partnerships, and new products.
Markets
Most EOS customers are undergoing dual crises
in defence spending, as they face severe budget
issues at the same time as the high and inescapable
2
costs associated with drawing down forces from
active theatres. In the period 2012‑2016 deliveries
of new RWS from all sources to EOS customers in US,
NATO and Australia are now expected to be less than
10% of the aggregate number delivered in the preceding
5 years by all providers. This tightening is more severe
than expected.
Recovery of the RWS market from 2016 will largely be
through new products and new technology. The promise
of new capabilities is contributing to the decline of
markets for current products as customers plan future
outlays around new technology and capabilities. EOS is
well placed here because it has new technology in hand,
and is closely linked to the future requirements of its key
customers through collaborative development programs.
These factors indicate the RWS market is
undergoing fundamental and irreversible change.
Competition has been very strong in the past few years,
but can be expected to thin as the years of tight market
conditions continue and the high cost of new technology
and low production rates eat into industry reserves.
Industry consolidation is likely and the competitive
landscape will change. With its strong customer loyalty
and co‑funding for advanced technology programs EOS
expects to emerge as a market leader from this difficult
period for the RWS industry.
For EOS the escalation of budget problems in its
home market in Australia has been problematic,
and the company expects that no new RWS deliveries
will be made to Australia during the next few years.
Growth markets for RWS are currently limited to Asia
and the Middle East. Although customer procurement
activity continued in these markets in 2012‑13 and EOS
has achieved some success, these programs will not
require production before 2015.
The RWS market is in transition through a prolonged and
severe reduction in customer budgets and requirements.
The market will not recover to its prior state, but will
emerge from 2016 with demands for new technology
and products that most providers will not have been
able to invest in due to reduced revenue and profits.
This situation presents both operational threats and
strategic opportunities for EOS.
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT)
New Products
EOS is committed to two key efforts to develop new
RWS products and technology:
A. On 26 June 2013 EOS announced a $3.4 million
award from the Australian Defence Force for the
development of next‑generation RWS for potential
ADF future requirements. The award was made
pursuant to RWS being classified as a Priority
Industry Capability by the Department of Defence.
Other customers are also contributing towards
similar developments for their own future needs.
This effort is on track to produce next‑generation
products by 2016.
In addition, product upgrades will be released during
2014 and 2015 to provide early access to new technology
through existing products. A new model of the EOS
R‑400 RWS, designated R‑400S, has been developed.
This will field a lightweight 30 mm canon for special
applications requiring light weapon systems with
firepower previously available only on heavy platforms.
B. EOS is also applying its RWS technology to
the development of remote unmanned turrets.
In 2006 EOS joined with a partner to develop a
turret to provide unprecedented 30‑40 mm canon
firepower to armoured vehicles. This turret has
met all performance goals and is now undergoing
pre‑production trials with production from 2016,
subject to continued customer funding. The company
expects to achieve strong market share in this
US$8 billion segment notwithstanding the
emergence of several strong competitors.
Each of these efforts has financial support and
participation from EOS’ customers. These joint programs
give EOS good insight to the scale and timing of the
recovery in customer funding for new RWS technology.
Strategic Partnerships
The emphasis on executing business through strategic
partners increased in 2013:
A. EOS announced on 30 October 2013 that it had
established an advanced RWS support facility
in Singapore in collaboration with Singapore
Technologies Kinetics [STK]. This is the latest step in
a long‑standing collaboration with STK. The facility
will allow RWS to be repaired from a base centrally
located in South East Asia and with excellent
transport and communications links to current and
potential customers in that region.
B. In Korea EOS is teamed with Hyundai‑Wia whose
Korean plants can now produce up to 70% of each
RWS required for the expanding Korean market.
EOS is collaborating with Hyundai to meet new
RWS requirements arising from major defence
contracts awarded to Hyundai as a prime contractor
during 2013.
C. EOS has identified a potential strategic partner
in the Middle East with strong market presence
and substantial current requirements for RWS.
EOS has exchanged written expressions of
intent with that entity relating to the potential
establishment of a RWS production site in the
Middle East in 2015.
3. SPACE SECTOR
This sector develops long‑range space sensors to
acquire unique data in space to support the provision
by EOS of data and/or services in global space markets.
The business model relates to applications of the data.
Sensors are not normally sold but deployed and operated
by EOS or its strategic partners.
Space Data
During 2013 EOS completed the automation of
operations for its space tracking sensors as well as a
wide range of operational testing. Formal completion
of testing spilled into Q1 2014 but all tests have been
successfully completed. These developments clear the
way for commercialisation of the technology which has
now commenced.
This is a major milestone in the long development and
testing program. EOS space customers have contributed
over $10 million towards the testing and performance
improvement of EOS’ current space sensors. EOS’ space
sensors can now be cost‑effectively reproduced to meet
the data requirements of space customers.
Data acquisition operations are expected to commence
from 1 July 2014. EOS has been offered new contracts
for data delivery and is on track to complete those
negotiations and execute the contracts before
1 July 2014.
The company’s ability to undertake sensor deployment
is a pre‑requisite to securing additional space
data contracts. EOS believes it has appropriate
arrangements in place to fund at least the initial stages
of space infrastructure deployment in 2014 and 2015.
3
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT)
These sensor deployment arrangements are sufficient
to support all planned data marketing activities through
2014 and may be extendable to cover further expansion
of the business.
EOS is cautiously expanding its resources and
capabilities in space as it transitions from development
to commercial operations in 2014 and 2015.
Space CRC and Precinct
With the maturing of the space data business, EOS is
segregating its research and development activities
from its commercial operations. EOS is now sufficiently
confident of its commercial sensor program that it is
sharing its background technology towards the solution
of major problems for space industry and society,
such as the space debris threat.
EOS has led a team of the world’s major space research
entities which has won Commonwealth government
funding support for a Cooperative Research Centre
for Space Environment Management. CRC funding
from all participants will be around $60 million
over 5 years from 2014, including $20 million from
the Commonwealth. The CRC will research technological
solutions for major problems for space industry and
society in general, such as the space debris threat.
By pooling funds and resources through the CRC,
participants can more quickly achieve research
objectives with benefits to both participants and the
wider community. In the case of space there is a
significant premium on accelerating research outcomes.
EOS will undertake leadership of this CRC program
pursuant to a funding offer from the Australian
government for this CRC. This will be a completely
separate research activity from EOS commercial space
activities but will likely impact those commercial
activities in later years when more advanced
technologies will be required.
EOS has also led a large group of space industry
entities in seeking funding for the establishment of a
“Space Precinct” at Mount Stromlo. This initiative was
also successful but the level of government funding is
uncertain at this time. The Precinct is intended to draw
out synergies from among industry and publicly funded
entities engaged in space, to create more collective
opportunities and foster more cost‑effective solutions.
Partnerships
As in the Defence Systems sector, partnerships are
the preferred basis for expansion. For the Space
Systems sector, these partnerships are focussed on both
technology development and commercial exploitation.
EOS continues to work closely with its academic partners.
EOS has long‑term alliances with the Australian
National University [ANU] and the Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology for technology development for
space applications. These collaborations are making good
progress towards our collective technical objectives.
EOS and ANU also continue to co‑develop new
technology in adaptive optics.
During 2013 EOS terminated an exclusive agreement
with Northrop Grumman Corporation relating to certain
collaborative space activities, to allow each organisation
to pursue those activities individually or through
new partnerships.
EOS also maintains agreements with European and
US aerospace entities to facilitate customer access
to EOS space data in those markets. New strategic
agreements with major aerospace entities globally
are in negotiation now that the space data business
is moving to commercialisation.
4. SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
During 2013 the company has consolidated and
entrenched the major structural reforms implemented
in 2012. The key financial benefit of these changes
was forecast to be a reduction in fixed costs of at
least $5.5 million, and this target was achieved in the
first full year of implementation in 2013. Staff numbers
reduced to 94 at the end of the year compared to
104 at the end of the previous year.
This significant saving combined with careful execution
of a modest revenue program were the key elements in
the delivery of a satisfactory result in 2013.
The full‑year result is marginally better than the
management expectation at the outset of 2013 due to a
small increase in revenue over expectations late in 2013.
Company operations were conducted largely as planned
and expected by management.
4
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT)
In 2013 both EOS business sectors were profitable,
for the first time. However the outlook for the
company’s two sectors differs going forward.
The outlook for space sector is positive. The significant
investments made by EOS and its customers in
recent years to refine space sensor performance
have been successful and notwithstanding severe
constraints in funds in both government and commercial
customer segments, EOS expects its space sector to
be profitable in 2014 and that its revenue will grow in
coming years. In recent years demand has increased
for EOS’ planned space products and services.
The outlook for defence systems sector is mixed.
In the short term [2014] the outlook is similar
to recent years, where EOS achieved sufficient
revenue to sustain its capabilities and position for
the future. The longer term outlook for this sector
is more promising, with new technology and products
emerging from 2016. Strong ongoing customer
investment in those developments, combined with
success in meeting program objectives, gives EOS
confidence they will be contracted for delivery from
2016 and restore this sector’s revenue base.
However the confirmed order backlog for defence
systems sector product deliveries going forward are
substantially lower than customary. Less than 12 months
of order backlog is now held, and this will erode during
2014 unless new orders are obtained. Although customer
requirements can emerge rapidly, EOS has previously
held sufficient long term orders to ensure this sector’s
financial performance for up to two years going forward.
This shortfall in medium term orders is a new challenge
for the company, but EOS’ technology development and
product enhancement programs remain well funded
by customers. Those technology programs are a strong
foothold on future market position and the longer term
prospects for this EOS business are strong.
The RWS industry will probably not survive more
lean years to 2016 without change. Expectations of
a market recovery from 2016 for those providers
with new products and technology will likely trigger
industry consolidation. EOS expects to play a role in any
consolidation of the RWS industry because it is already
well placed to timely meet future market expectations.
Financial uncertainties can adversely impact the
governments which are EOS customers. The company
cannot be certain that future customer procurements
will continue as usual or that business conditions will
not deteriorate from current expectations.
As set out in Note 1(a) the financial statements have
been prepared on the basis that the company and the
consolidated entity are going concerns, which assumes
continuity of normal business activities and the
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in
the ordinary course of business. Due to the uncertainties
disclosed in Note 1(a) the audit opinion includes an
emphasis of matter paragraph regarding going concern.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT)
Remuneration Report (cont)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements
in place for Directors and Executives of the Group.
The Directors are responsible for remuneration policies
and packages applicable to the Board members and
executives of the Group. The Group has a separate
Remuneration Committee. The broad remuneration
policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly
reflects the persons duties and responsibilities.
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance,
the structure of Non‑Executive Director and senior
manager remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non‑Executive Director remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration
at a level which provides the Company with
the ability to attract and retain directors of the
highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which
is acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Company’s Constitution and the Australian
Securities Exchange Listing Rules specify the
aggregate remuneration of Non‑Executive Directors
shall be determined from time to time by a General
Meeting of shareholders. An amount not exceeding
the amount determined is then divided between the
Directors as agreed. The latest determination was
at the Annual General Meeting held on 31 May 2012,
when shareholders approved a maximum aggregate
remuneration of $350,000 per year excluding options.
The amount of aggregate remuneration approved
by shareholders, the manner in which it is apportioned
amongst Directors, and the policy of granting options
to Directors, are reviewed by directors at least every
two years.
Each Non‑Executive Director receives a fee for serving
as a Director of the Company. No additional fees are paid
to any Director for serving on a committee of the Board.
A company associated with Mr Ian Dennis receives
a fee in recognition of additional services provided
to the Group.
Executive Director and Senior
Management remuneration
Objective
The Group aims to award Executives with a level and mix
of remuneration commensurate with their position and
responsibilities within the Group and so as to:
■ reward Executives for Group and individual
performance against targets set by reference
to suitable benchmarks;
■ align the interests of Executives with those
of shareholders; and
■ ensure that the total remuneration paid
is competitive by market standards.
Structure
The remuneration paid to Executives is set with
reference to prevailing market levels and typically
comprises a fixed salary and option component.
Options are granted to Executives in line with their
respective levels of experience and responsibility.
Details of the amounts paid and the number of options
granted to Executives are disclosed elsewhere in the
Directors’ Report.
Employment contracts
There are no employment contracts in place with any
Non‑Executive Director of the Group. Executive Directors
and Senior Management are employed under standard
employment contracts which contain no unusual terms.
Beyond accrued leave benefits, there are no other
termination payments or golden parachutes for any
directors or senior executives.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT)
Audit Committee
The Board appointed three non‑executive directors to form the committee, with a majority of independent directors and the
Chairman being an independent person. The current members of the committee are Lt Gen Peter Leahy AC (Chairman),
Mr Ian Dennis and Mr Kevin Scully.
Non‑audit Services
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non‑audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person
or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the
Corporations Act 2001. The Directors have formed this view based on the fact that the nature and scope of each type
of non‑audit service provided means that the audit independence was not compromised.
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non‑audit services provided during the year by the auditor
are contained in Note 10 to the financial statements.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 16 of the annual report.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to s.298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities | ANNUAL REPORT 2013NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
Judgments made by management in the application
of A‑IFRS that have significant effects on the
financial statements and estimates with a significant
risk of material adjustments in the next year are
disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes
to the financial statements. The areas of judgement
made by management are in the areas of asset
impairment of property, plant and equipment,
inventory obsolescence and percentage completion
of construction contracts. Accounting policies
are selected and applied in a manner which
ensures that the resulting financial information
satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability,
thereby ensuring that the substance of the
underlying transactions or other events is reported.
The following significant accounting policies have
been adopted in the preparation and presentation of
the financial report:
(a) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the basis
that the company and the consolidated entity are
going concerns, which assumes continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and
the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course
of business.
The consolidated entity earned a net profit during
the year of $1,562,746 (2012: $10,181,971 loss).
Net cash used by operating activities was
$2,646,482 (2012 ‑ $3,784,501 provided).
As at 31 December 2013, the consolidated entity
had cash of $4,048,005 (2012 ‑ $6,686,194) of which
$97,000 (2012 ‑ $400,393) is restricted as it secures
bank guarantees on existing contracts with local
and overseas customers. The cash will become
unrestricted if the contracts are concluded
or renegotiated.
1. Summary of Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose
financial report which has been prepared in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and
Accounting Standards and complies with other
requirements of the law: The financial statements
comprise the consolidated financial statements
of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the
consolidated financial statements, the Company
is a for‑profit entity. Accounting Standards include
Australian equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (“A‑IFRS”). The financial report
includes the separate financial statements of the
company and the consolidated financial statements
of the group. Compliance with A‑IFRS ensures that
the financial statements and notes of the company
and the consolidated entity comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The financial statements were authorised for issue
by the Directors on 18 March 2014.
Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the basis
of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values
of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars,
unless otherwise stated.
In the application of A‑IFRS management is required
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
about carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstance, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgments. Actual results
may differ from these estimates. The estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate
is revised if the revision affects only that period, or
in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents
(a) Going concern (cont)
Notwithstanding the net cash used by operations
and the profit earned during the year, as at the date
of this report having considered:
■ the cash balances held at 31 December 2013;
■ the willingness of key military and government
customers to make timely payments for goods
supplied in accordance with contractual terms;
■ the future trading prospects of the group; and
■ the ability to raise capital from existing or new
shareholders should the need arise
in the opinion of the directors, the company and the
consolidated entity can continue as going concerns
and pay their debts as and when they become due
and payable.
If the consolidated entity is unable to secure
additional profitable contracts or timely payments
for goods supplied to key military and government
customers are not made in accordance with
contractual terms or the company is not able to
raise further capital, significant uncertainty would
exist as to the ability of the consolidated entity to
continue as a going concern and therefore, it may
be required to realise its assets and extinguish
its liabilities other than in the normal course of
business and at amounts different from those stated
in the financial report.
No adjustments have been made to the financial
report relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the consolidated entity not continue as a
going concern.
(b) Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any
difference between the initial recognised amount
and the redemption value being recognised in profit
or loss over the period of the borrowing using the
effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand,
cash in banks and investments in money market
instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Cash and cash equivalents includes restricted cash
to the extent it relates to operating activities.
(d) Construction contracts and work
in progress
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be
estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised
by reference to the stage of completion of the
contract activity at the reporting date, as measured
by the proportion that contract costs incurred for
work performed to date bear to the estimated
total contract costs, except where this would not
be representative of the stage of completion.
Variations in contract work, claims and incentive
payments are included to the extent that they have
been agreed with the customer.
Where the outcome of a construction contract
cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue
is recognised to the extent of contract costs
incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
Contract costs are recognised as expenses in
the period in which they are incurred. When it
is probable that total contract costs will exceed
total contract revenue, the expected loss is
recognised as an expense immediately.
Deferred revenue is represented by advance billings
on contracts and the basis of recognition is the
percentage of completion basis.
(e) Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments
or other host contracts are treated as separate
derivatives when their risks and characteristics are
not closely related to those of host contracts and the
host contracts are not measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Employee benefits
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave,
and long service leave when it is probable that
settlement will be required and they are capable of
being measured reliably.

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (cont)
(f) Employee benefits (cont)
Provisions made in respect of short term employee
benefits are measured at their nominal values using
the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time
of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of long term employee
benefits are measured as the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows to be made by the
consolidated entity in respect of services provided by
employees up to the reporting date.
Defined contribution plans ‑ Contributions to defined
benefit contribution superannuation plans are
expensed when incurred.
(g) Financial assets
Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in
subsidiaries are measured at cost less any impairment.
Other financial assets are classified into the
following specified categories: held to maturity
investments and loans and receivables.
The classification depends on the nature
and purpose of the financial assets and is
determined at the time of the initial recognition.
Held to maturity investments
Bills of exchange are recorded at amortised
cost using the effective interest method less
impairment, with revenue recognised on an
effective yield basis. The effective interest method
is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a
financial asset and of allocating interest income
over the relevant period. The effective interest
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life
of the financial asset, or, where appropriate,
a shorter period.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are
recorded at amortised cost less impairment.
(h) Financial instruments issued by
the company
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as
either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangement.
Transaction costs on the issue of
equity instruments
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity
instruments are recognised directly in equity as a
reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to
which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs
that are incurred directly in connection with the issue
of those equity instruments and which would not have
been incurred had those instruments not been issued.
Interest
Interest is classified as an expense consistent with
the statement of financial position classification of
the related debt.
(i) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
All foreign currency transactions during the
financial year are bought to account using the
exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date
are translated at the exchange rate existing at
reporting date. Non‑monetary assets and liabilities
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing
at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss
in the period they arise.
Foreign operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of
the consolidated entity’s overseas operations
are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the
reporting date. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rates for the
period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly.
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised
in the foreign currency translation reserve,
and recognised in profit or loss on disposal
of the foreign operation.

(j) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net
of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the taxation authority,
it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii.
for receivables and payables which are
recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash
flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash
flows arising from investing and financing activities
which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority is classified as operating cash flows.
(k) Government grants
Government grants are assistance by the
government in the form of transfers of resources
to the consolidated entity in return for past
or future compliance with certain conditions
relating to the operating activities of the entity.
Government grants include government assistance
where there are no conditions specifically relating
to the operating activities of the consolidated entity
other than the requirement to operate in certain
regions or industry sectors.
Government grants relating to income are
recognised as income over the periods
necessary to match them with the related costs.
Government grants that are receivable as
compensation for expenses or losses already
incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate
financial support to the consolidated entity
with no future related costs are recognised as
income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
(l) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and
intangible assets to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets have suffered
an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate
cash flows that are independent from other assets,
the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash‑generating unit to which the
asset belongs.
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives and intangible assets not yet available for
use are tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an indication that the asset
may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is
not subsequently reversed. Recoverable amount
is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and
value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset for
which the estimates of future cash flows have not
been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset
(or cash‑generating unit) is estimated to be less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset (cash‑generating unit) is reduced to
its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset
(cash‑generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the
extent that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised
for the asset (cash‑generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss immediately.
(m) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount
of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect
of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period.
It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by
reporting date. Current tax for current and prior
periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the
extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (cont)
(m) Income tax (cont)
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the
comprehensive balance sheet liability method
in respect of temporary differences arising from
differences between the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised
for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable
that sufficient taxable amounts will be available
against which deductible temporary differences or
unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised.
However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary differences giving rise
to them arise from the initial recognition of assets
and liabilities (other than as a result of business
combination) which affects neither taxable income
nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred
tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable
temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable
temporary differences arising on investments in
subsidiaries except where the consolidated entity
is able to control the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that the temporary
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets arising from deductible
temporary differences associated with these
investments and interests are only recognised to the
extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient
taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of
the temporary differences and they are expected to
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
period(s) when the assets and liabilities giving
rise to them are realised or settled, based on
tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and
assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the consolidated
entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover
or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
28
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when
they relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority and the company/consolidated
entity intends to settles its current tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an
expense or income in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income,
except when it relates to items credited or
debited directly to equity, in which case the
deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity,
or where it arises from the initial accounting for a
business combination, in which case it is taken into
account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
Tax consolidation
The company and all its wholly‑owned Australian
resident entities are part of a tax consolidated
group under Australian taxation law. Electro Optic
Systems Holdings Limited is the head entity in
the tax‑consolidated group. Tax expense/income,
deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets
arising from temporary differences of the members
of the tax‑consolidated group are recognised in the
separate financial statements of the members of the
tax‑consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer
within the group’ approach.
Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred
tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax
credits of the members of the tax‑consolidated
group are recognised by the company (as head
entity in the tax‑consolidated group).
There are no formal tax funding arrangements
within companies within the tax‑consolidated entity.
(n) Intangible assets
Research and development costs
Expenditure on research activities is recognised
as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Where no internally‑generated intangible assets
can be recognised, development expenditure is
recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.

(n) Intangible assets (cont)
Intangible assets acquired in a
business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
are identified and recognised separately from
goodwill where they satisfy the definition of
an intangible asset and their fair value can be
measured reliably.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets
acquired in a business combination are reported
at cost less accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses, on the same
basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
(o) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and
net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first‑in
first‑out basis. Net realisable value represents the
estimated selling price less all estimated costs of
completion and costs to be incurred in marketing,
selling and distribution.
(p) Leased assets
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the
terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other
leases are classified as operating leases.
Consolidated entity as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially
recognised at their fair value or, if lower,
at amounts equal to the present value of the
minimum lease payments, each determined at the
inception of the lease. The corresponding liability
to the lessor is included in the statement of financial
position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance
charges and reduction of the lease obligation so
as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges
are charged directly against income.
Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight
line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an
expense on a straight‑line basis over the lease term,
except where another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic
benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
Lease incentives
In the event that lease incentives are received to
enter into operating leases, such incentives are
recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of
incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental
expenses on a straight‑line basis, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of
the time pattern in which economic benefits from
the leased assets are consumed.
(q) Payables
Trade payable and other accounts payable are
recognised when the consolidated entity becomes
obliged to make future payments resulting from the
purchase of goods and services.
(r) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate
the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when
the Company:
■ Has power over the investee;
■ Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee; and
■ Has the ability to use its power to affect
its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls
an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three
elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the
Company obtains control over the subsidiary
and ceases when the Company loses control of
the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses
of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the
year are included in the consolidated statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income from
the date the Company gains control until the date
when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

(s) Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements
and equipment under finance lease are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of an item.
In the event that settlement of all or part of
the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is
determined by discounting the amounts payable
in the future to their present value as at the
date of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided on property, plant
and equipment. Depreciation is calculated so as
to write off the net cost or other revalued amount
of each asset over its expected useful life to its
estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the period of the lease or
estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter,
using the straight line method. The estimated
useful lives, residual values and depreciation
method is reviewed at the end of each annual
accounting period.
All intra group assets and liabilities, equity,
income, expenses, and cash flows relating to
transactions between members of the group
are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the
calculation of depreciation:
Plant and equipment
5 to 15 years
Leasehold improvements
3 to 5 years
Equipment under finance lease
3 to 5 years
Office equipment
5 to 15 years
Furniture, fixture and fittings
5 to 15 years
Motor vehicles
3 to 5 years
(t) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated
entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice
of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of
the provision can be measured reliably.
When some or all of the economic benefits required
to settle a provision are expected to be recovered
from a third party, the receivable is recognised
as an asset if it is probable that recovery will be
received and the amount of the receivable can be
measured reliably.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle
the present obligation, taking into account the
risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Where a provision is measured using the cash
flows estimated to settle the present obligation,
its carrying amount is the present value of those
cash flows.
Warranties ‑ Provisions for warranty costs are
recognised as agreed in individual sales contracts,
at the directors best estimate of the expenditure
required to settle the consolidated entity’s liability.
Contract losses ‑ Present obligations arising under
onerous contracts are recognised and measured as
a provision. An onerous contract is considered to
exist where the Group has a contract under which
the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations
under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received under it.
Decommissioning cost ‑ a provision for
decommissioning cost is recognised when there is
a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and the amount of the provision can be
measured reliably. The estimated future obligations
include the costs of removing the facilities and
restoring the premises.
(u) Revenue recognition
Construction revenue is recognised on the basis of
the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations
or claims allowable under the contract.
Revenue from contracts to provide services is
recognised on a monthly basis in accordance with
the services contracts.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when
the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods.

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (cont)
Impact of the application of AASB 10
AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB127
“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”
that deal with consolidated financial statements
and Interpretation 112 “Consolidation ‑ Special
Purpose Entities”. AASB 10 changes the definition
of control such that an investor controls an
investee when a) it has power over the investee,
b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee, and c) has the
ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three
of these criteria must be met for an investor to have
control over an investee. Previously, control was
defined as the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefits from its activities. Additional guidance
has been included in AASB 10 to explain when an
investor has control over an investee.
The directors of the Company made an assessment
as at the date of the initial application of AASB 10
(i.e. 1 January 2013) as to whether or not the Group
has control over the entities listed in Note 24 in
accordance with the new definition of control and the
related guidance set out in AASB 10. The directors
concluded that the Company has control over the
entities listed in Note 24 on the basis of it’s 100%
shareholding and it’s ability to use it’s power to
affect it’s variable returns.
The application of AASB 10 has not had any
material impact on the amounts recognised in the
consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 12
AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard
and is applicable to entities that have
interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements,
associates and /or unconsolidated structured entities.
In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted
in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. However this did not result
in any changes to the amounts recognised in the
consolidated financial statements.
(v) Share based payments to employees
Equity‑settled share‑based payments are measured
at fair value at the date of the grant. Fair value is
measured by use of a modified Cox‑Rubenstein
binomial model. The expected life used in the model
has been adjusted, based on management best
estimates, for the effects of non‑transferability,
exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the
equity‑settled share based payments is expensed
on a straight‑line basis over the vesting period,
based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of
shares that will eventually vest.
(w) Application of new and revised
accounting standards
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 their operations and effective for
the current year.
New and revised Standards and amendments
thereof and Interpretations effective for the current
year that are relevant to the Group include:
■ AASB 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”
and AASB 2011‑7 “Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from the
consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards”
■ AASB 12 “Disclosure of Interests in

Impact of the application of AASB 13
The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13
is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and
non‑financial instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures
about fair value measurements, except for share‑based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2
“Share‑based Payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 17 “Leases”, and measurements
that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of
measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).
AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market
conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether the price is directly observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
AASB 13 requires prospective application from 1 January 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were
given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative
information provided for periods before the initial application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional
provisions, the Group has not made any new disclosures required by AASB 13 for the 2012 comparative period,
the application of AASB 13 has not had material impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated
financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 119
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) “Employee Benefits” and the related
consequential amendments for the first time.
The revised AASB 119 changes the definition of short‑term benefits. Only benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months after the end of the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the
service are classified as short‑term employee benefits.
Specific transitional provisions are applicable to first‑time application of AASB 119 (as revised in 2011).
The Group has applied the relevant transitional provisions and restated the comparative amounts on a
retrospective basis. The amount of these restatements is not material.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate
entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law, 25% in Germany, 17% in Singapore and the federal tax rate
applicable in the USA and the State of Arizona has been assumed to approximate a combined rate 40% as their tax
rates apply on a sliding scale. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous
reporting period.

Tax consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the consolidated entity
The company and its wholly‑owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax‑consolidated group with
effect from 1 January 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the
tax‑consolidated group is Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited. The members of the tax‑consolidated entity
group are identified in Note 24.
Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements
There are no formal tax funding or tax sharing arrangements within the tax‑consolidated group.

The directors have assessed the carrying value of the unlisted shares held in controlled entities and have
determined that, as at 31 December 2013, based upon the net asset position of the controlled entities, the current
and historic trading results and the foreseeable future results from signed contracts on hand the investments are
fully impaired.

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.
18. Directors and Employee Share Option Plan
(a) Unlisted Options issued under the Employee Share Option Plan
The consolidated entity has an ownership‑based compensation scheme for employees (including directors) of
the company. In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual
general meeting, employees with more than three months service with the company may be granted options to
purchase ordinary shares at exercise prices determined by the directors based on market prices at the time the
issue of options were made.
Each share option converts to one ordinary share in Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited. No amounts are paid
or payable by the recipient on receipt of the options. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.
Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry.
The number of options granted is determined by the directors and takes into account the company’s and individual
achievements against both qualitative and quantitive criteria.
On 28 June 2002, shareholders approved the adoption of an Employee Share Option Plan.
On 10 December 2009 Directors approved the issue of 1,800,000 unlisted options to staff at an exercise price
of $1.30 exercisable on or before 8 December 2013.

28. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, borrowings, finance leases, cash and
short term deposits.
Due to the small size of the group significant risk management decisions are taken by the board of directors.
These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk,
liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures.
The directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recognised in these financial
statements approximate their fair values.
Risk Exposures and Responses
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash holdings.
At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable
interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Consolidated

The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential
renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

28. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (cont)
At 31 December 2013, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables
held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:
Judgements of reasonably possible movements

(17,513)

(8,696)

(17,513)
The movements in profits are due to lower interest rates on cash balances. The cash balances were lower in 2013
than in 2012 and accordingly the sensitivity is lower.
(b) Foreign currency risk
As a result of purchases of inventory denominated in United States Dollars, the Group’s statement of financial
position can be affected significantly by movements in the US$/A$ exchange rates. Exchange rates are managed
within approved policy parameters using natural hedges and no derivatives are used.
The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from sales or purchases by an
operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.
The policy of the Group is to convert surplus foreign currencies to Australian dollars. The group also holds cash
deposits in US dollars to secure US dollar bank guarantees to overseas customers.

28. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (cont)
(b) Foreign currency risk (cont)
Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of risk exposure inherent in
financial instruments.
As noted, foreign currency transactions entered into during the financial year are managed within approved
policy parameters using natural hedges. The director’s do not consider that the net exposure to foreign currency
transactions is material after considering the effect of natural hedges.
(c) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial
loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties which are
continuously monitored.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit‑ratings assigned
by international credit agencies.
(d) Liquidity risk management
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who has built an
appropriate risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long term
funding and liquidity requirements. The Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by

28. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont)
(e) Price risk
The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal. The Group does not make investments in
equity securities.
29. Segment Information
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the
Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the
segment and to assess performance.
The identification of the Group’s reportable segments has changed from those disclosed in the previous
2012 Annual Report. The Group’s reportable segments are now Defence Systems and Space. Space Systems and
Space Surveillance are now combined into one sector called Space for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The consolidated entity operates in Australia, USA, Singapore and Germany in the development, manufacture and
sale of telescopes and dome enclosures, laser satellite tracking systems and the manufacture of electro‑optic fire
control systems.
Product and Services within each Segment
Space
EOS’s laser‑based space surveillance systems have been demonstrated in customer trials and EOS is now
well‑placed to be a major contributor to the next generation of space tracking capability. Future business is
dependent on large government contracts being awarded in the space sector.
In addition, EOS has substantial space resources in its own right, and may enter the market for space data provision
in the future.
Defence Systems
EOS develops, manufactures and markets advanced fire control, surveillance, and weapon systems to approved
military customers. These products either replace or reduce the role of a human operator for a wide range of
existing and future weapon systems in the US, Australasia, Middle East and other markets.
