Dear Shareholder,  

It is with great enthusiasm that I wish to report to you the status of the company and the great plans awaiting us 
in years to come. 

Almost two years have gone by since Elsight was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in June 2017, and 
2018 has been quite an exciting year - full of challenges and successes.  

2018 saw the company’s revenues grow by 80% compared to the 2017 year – a phenomenal achievement. The 
team has been actively winning projects and customers in various verticals across the globe.  Additionally, the 
company has expanded its sales activities to strategic territories in the USA and Australia. 

Not only have sales grown, but the type of customers the company has been targeting has changed significantly 
from government to large corporations. Such a change allows the company higher stability in revenue and cash 
flow. 

In addition, Elsight is focusing on strategic segments such as Drones, Unmanned vehicles, and Telemedicine. At 
the same time, the company continues with its solid penetration into its original markets of HLS, Defense and 
Transportation.   

The most exciting growth comes from the vast amount of new opportunities coming our way. Our new sales, bus 
dev, and marketing team are currently cultivating a number of OEM opportunities - paving the way for the future. 

The  funds  raised  in  2017  and  2018  have  been  invested  heavily  in  sales  and  marketing  activities  as  well  as  in 
development of our flagship product – Halo – Elsight’s next generation communication platform.  

Halo’s first limited version is planned to be delivered to customers for pilots in Q3/2019 – ahead of schedule. 
Halo will enjoy early revenues towards the end of 2019. However, this powerful yet nimble platform is expected 
to dominate our 2020 revenues and beyond. 

I’m very excited for the company and am looking forward to 2019 and beyond.   
Sincerely, 

Maj. Gen. (res) Ami Shafran 

Chairman

requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. These procedures include: 

 

non-audit  services  will  be  subject  to  the  corporate  governance  procedures  adopted  by  the  Company  and  will  be 
reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 

ensuring non-audit services do not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or 
decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Introduction 

Key  Management  Personnel  (KMP)  have  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the  major 
activities of the Group. KMP comprise the directors of the Company and identified key management personnel.

comparable companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Group’s compensation strategy.

2.  Remuneration governance 

The  Directors  believe  the  Company  is  not  currently  of  a  size  nor  are  its  affairs  of  such  complexity  as  to  warrant  the 
establishment of a separate remuneration committee. Accordingly, all matters are considered by the full Board of Directors, 
in accordance with a remuneration committee charter. 

During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

3.  Executive remuneration arrangements 

The  compensation  structures  are  designed  to  attract  suitably  qualified  candidates,  reward  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages may include a 
mix of fixed compensation, equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Shares 
and options may only be issued subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting. 

At the date of this report the Company has two appointed executives, Mr Nir Gabay as Managing Director and Mr Roee Kashi 
as Vice President – Research and Development. The terms of their Executive Employment Agreements with Elsight Limited 
are summarised in the following table.

Executive salary of ILS 772,668 per annum (based on the exchange rate at the date of this 
report, equals approximately US$206,155 per annum).  Executive salary increased from 
ILS  440,000  (US$117,396)  per  annum  to  ILS  772,668  (US$206,155)  per  annum  in 
November 2018 with ILS 189,679 (US$50,000) payable upfront. 

Reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the 
business in accordance with the Group’s reimbursement policies. 

The agreement commenced on 5 April 2017 and may be terminated by either party on 12 
months’  notice,  but  is  for  a  minimum  period  of  three  years.    It  may  be  terminated 
immediately with justifiable cause. 

Executive salary of ILS 660,000 per annum (based on the exchange rate at the date of this

The agreement commenced on 6 April 2017 and may be terminated by either party on 
180 days’ notice.  It may be terminated immediately with justifiable cause. 

At  this  stage  the  Board  does  not  consider  the  Group’s  earnings  or  earnings  related  measures  to  be  an  appropriate  key 
performance indicator (KPI). In considering the relationship between the Group’s remuneration policy and the consequences 
for the Company’s shareholder wealth, changes in share price are analysed as well as measures such as successful completion 
of business development and corporate activities. 

Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration 

The Group has established and maintains Employee Limited Employee Share Option Plan (Plan) to provide ongoing incentives 
to Eligible Participants of the Company. Eligible Participants include: 

 
 
 
 

a Director (whether executive or non-executive) of any Group Company;  
a full or part time employee of any Group Company;  
a casual employee or contractor of a Group Company; or  
a  prospective  participant,  being  a  person  to  whom  the  Offer  was  made  but  who  can  only  accept  the  Offer  if  
arrangement has been entered into that will resulting in the person becoming an Eligible Participant.  

The Board adopted the Plan to allow Eligible Participants to be granted Options to acquire shares in the Company. 

The  purpose  of  the  Plan  is  to  assist  in  the  reward  and  motivation  of  Eligible  Participants  and  link  the  reward  of  Eligible 
Participants to performance and the creation of Shareholder value. It is designed to align the interest of Eligible Participants 
more closely to the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to receive shares. It provides 
the Eligible Participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company and provides greater 
incentives for Eligible Participants to focus on the Company’s longer term goals.  A total of 460,000 options were issued to 
key management personnel under the Plan during the 2018 financial year (2017: 38,608,000).

4.  Non-executive Director fee arrangements 

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at a level to comparable companies for time, commitment, and 
responsibilities. Non-executive Directors may receive performance related compensation. Directors’ fees cover all main Board 
activities and membership of any committee. The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes in relation to 
Non-executive Directors. 

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is presently limited to an aggregate of 
AU$500,000 (US$352,629) per annum and any change is subject to approval by shareholders at the General Meeting. Fees 
for Non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with 
shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. 

Total fees for the Non-executive Directors for the financial year were $80,283 (2017: $87,304) and cover main Board activities 
only. Non-executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Group. 

All non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment.  The 
letter summarises the board policies and terms, including remuneration, relevant to the office of director.

ELSIGHT LIMITED  
ABN 98 616 435 753 
ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2018 

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

These consolidated financial statements cover Elsight Limited (Company) and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity 
(also referred to as Group). Elsight Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group 
is a for-profit entity. 

The financial statements were issued by the board of directors on 29 March 2019 by the directors of the Company. 

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

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of preparation of the financial report 

a)  Statement of Compliance  

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board 
(AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.     

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded 
would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions.  
Compliance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  also  comply  with 
International Financial Reporting Standards.  

b)  Basis of Measurement and Reporting Conventions Including Capital Reorganisation 

The  financial  statements,  except  for  cash  flow  information,  have  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  are  based  on 
historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets 
and financial liabilities.  The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless 
stated otherwise. 

On 2 June 2017 Elsight Limited (‘ELS’) completed a transaction with the shareholders of El-Sight Ltd to acquire 100% of the 
share capital of El-Sight Ltd  in  exchange for 35,381,386 shares.   In accordance with Australian  Accounting  Standards, the 
acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination as ELS was established for the sole purpose of facilitating 
the listing process and to acquire El-Sight Ltd by way of an equity swap.  The shareholders of El-Sight Ltd received the same 
proportion of equity instruments in ELS.   

c)  Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards 

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its 
accounting policies as a result of the adoption of the following standards: 

 
 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments; and 
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1d below.  The impact 
of these standards, and the other new and amended standards adopted by the Group, has not had a material impact on the 
amounts presented in the Group’s financial statements.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

d)  Changes in Accounting Policies 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 9  Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers on the Group’s financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 
January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of Adoption 

Impairment of financial assets 

The Group’s financial assets subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model are cash and trade receivables, 
which arise from the provision of services and sale of goods. 

The impact of the impairment requirements of AASB 9 on cash and cash equivalents has not resulted in a material 
impact to the financial statements. 

Under AASB 9, the Group was required to revise the impairment methodology used in the calculation of its provision 
for doubtful debts to the expected credit loss model. This change in methodology has not had a material impact on 
the financial statements.  The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses 
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.  Trade receivables are written off when there 
is no reasonable expectation of recovery.  Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, 
amongst  others,  the  failure  or  a  debtor  to  engage  in  a  repayment  plan  with  the  Group,  and  a  failure  to  make 
contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Accounting Policies Applied from 1 January 2018 

Classification 

From 1 January 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 

o 
o 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and 
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on how the Group manages the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash 
flows.  At year end, all of the Group’s financial assets have been classified as those to be measured at amortised 
cost. 

Measurement 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not 
at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset.  Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Impairment 

From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses expected credit losses associated on a forward looking basis.  For trade 
receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses 
to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Impact of Adoption 

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018 which resulted in 
changes to accounting policies but no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

The impact of the adoption of AASB 15 has not resulted in a material impact to the financial statements.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Accounting policies 

Group revenues consist of the following elements: 

 

 
 
 

physical products which are sent to the customer, where revenue is recognised upon shipment or arrival 
of goods, dependent on the terms that have been agreed with the customer; 
IT services, where revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered; 
installation fees, which are recognised upon the completion of product installation; and  
other revenue including cloud services fees which are recognised over the service period; software license 
fees which are recognised over the license period; maintenance fees for which contracts are generally 
one  year  with  revenue  recognised  over  the  contract  period;  and  service  level  agreements  which  are 
recognised over the agreement period. 

In  relation  to  IT  services,  cloud  services,  software  licence,  maintenance  fees  and  service  level  agreements,  the 
Group recognises a contract liability where payments received exceed the services rendered. 

The Group has no material contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to 
the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year.  As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any 
of the transaction prices for the time value of money. 

e) 

 Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 
2018. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee 
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if 
and only if the Group has: 

 

 

 

Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the 
investee);  

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and  

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. 

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts 
and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: 

 

 

 

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,  

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements,  

The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.  

The Group re-assesses 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. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the 
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary 
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from 
the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of 
the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. 
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line 
with the Group’s accounting policies. 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.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the 
Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary 

De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests 

De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity 

Recognises the fair value of the consideration received 

Recognises the fair value of any investments retained 

Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit and loss 

Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as 
appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 

f) 

Income Tax 

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on  taxable income calculated using applicable 
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.  Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as 
well unused tax losses. 

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when 
the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been 
fully expensed but future tax deductions are available.  No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition 
of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.  Their measurement 
also  reflects  the  manner  in  which  management  expects  to  recover  or  settle  the  carrying  amount  of  the  related  asset  or 
liability. 

Deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  are  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Where  temporary  differences  exist  in  relation  to  investments  in  subsidiaries,  branches,  associates,  and  joint  ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Current  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  where  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set-off  exists  and  it  is  intended  that  net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income 
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended 
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods 
in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

g) 

Leases 

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on economic substance of the agreement 
so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.  

Operating Leases  

The  minimum  lease  payments  made  under  operating  leases  are  charged  against  profits  in  equal  installments  over  the 
accounting periods covered by the lease term where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of 
ownership of the leased item.  

The cost of improvements to or on leased property is capitalized, disclosed as leasehold improvements and amortised.  

Finance leases  

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item to the 
Company are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as property, plant and equipment 
under lease. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised.  

Capitalised  lease  assets  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  assets  and  the  lease  term. 
Minimum  lease  payments  are  allocated  between  interest  expense  and  reduction  of  the  lease  liability  with  the  interest 
expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and recognised directly in net profit.  

h) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Directors assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. 
The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received 
from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. 

 If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the asset’s recoverable amount, 
being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the 
asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 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.  

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

i) 

Cash and cash equivalents  

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks with original maturity of three 
months or less. 

j) 

Trade receivables 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business.  They 
are generally due for settlement within 30 days are therefore are all classified as current.  Trade receivables are recognised 
initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value; none of the Group’s trade 
receivables  contain  a  financing  component.    The  Group  holds  the  trade  receivables  with  the  objective  to  collect  the 
contractual cashflows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.   

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on share credit risk characteristics and 
the days past due.   The expected loss rates are based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions and forward-
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.  

k) 

Inventories 

Inventories  are  measured  at  the  lower  of cost  and  net  realisable  value.    The  cost  of  inventories  is  based  on  the  average 
principle  and  includes  expenditure  incurred  in  acquiring  the  inventories  and  the  costs  incurred  in  bringing  them  to  their 
existing location and condition.  Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the 
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 

l)  Operating expenses  

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. 

m)  Depreciation  

Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.  The depreciable amount 
is the cost of the asset, less its residual value. 

An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required 
for it to operate in the manner intended by management. 

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the fixed 
asset item, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied 
in the assets. 

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: 

 

 

Computers – 3 years 

Furniture and equipment – 7-17 years 

  Motor vehicles – 7 years 

Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  the  lease  period  or  the  useful  life  of  the  leasehold 
improvement. 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if 
appropriate.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

n)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).  

Receivable  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  the  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is  included  with  other  receivables  and  payables  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position.    

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and 
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

o)  Employee Benefits 

Post-employment benefits 

The Company has a post-employment benefit plan in place in accordance with its obligations under Israeli employment 
law.  Under Israeli employment law, in the event of termination of an employee, the Group is obligated to pay the employee 
their last monthly salary multiplied by the number of years the employee was employed.  The value of this severance pay 
obligation is recorded net of accumulated severance fund benefits as a liability for employees’ severance benefits in the 
Group’s statement of financial position. 

Short term employee benefits 

Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service 
is provided or upon the actual absence of the employee when the benefit is not accumulated. 

The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits 
depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled. 

Equity-settled compensation 

The Group operates an employee share and option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair 
value  of  the  instruments  issued  and  amortised  over  the  vesting  periods.  The  fair  value  of  performance  right  options  is 
determined using the satisfaction of certain performance criteria (Performance Milestones). The number of shares option 
and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount 
recognised  for  services  received  as  consideration  for  the  equity  instruments  granted  is  based  on  the  number  of  equity 
instruments that eventually vest. The fair value is determined using either a Black Scholes or Monte Carlo simulation model 
depending on the type of share-based payment. 

p)  Trade and other payables 

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the 
future  for  goods  and  services  received,  whether  or  not  billed  to  the  Group.    Interest,  when  charged  by  the  lender,  is 
recognised as an expense on an accruals basis.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

q)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  result  and  that  outflow  can  be  reliably  measured.  Provisions  are 
measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.  

r) 

Equity and reserves 

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of 
shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The option reserve records the value of 
share-based payments. 

s) 

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

Functional and presentation currency 

The  functional  currency  of  each  entity  within  the  Group  is  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in USA dollars which is the 
Parent’s functional currency. 

Transaction and balances 

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

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other  comprehensive 
income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognized other comprehensive Income; otherwise the exchange 
difference is recognised in profit or loss. 

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 period; 
 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 

 

retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars 
are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement 
of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed 
of.

 Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of 
Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. 
The Group’s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements. 

u) 

 Share Based Payments 

Share-based  payments  are  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  goods  or  services  received  or  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded 
at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  
The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that 
the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number 
of equity instruments that eventually vest.  

v)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 

 

 

the profit attributable to member of the parent entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary 
shares 

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year (if any). 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: 

 

 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; 
and 

the  weighted  average  number  of  additional  ordinary  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding  assuming  the 
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

w) 

Intangible assets 

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by 
the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:  

 

it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for use;  

  management intends to complete the product and use or sell it;  

 

 

 

 

there is an ability to use or sell the product;  

it can be demonstrated how the product will generate probable future economic benefits;  

adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the product are 
available, and  

the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.  

Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready 
for use. 

Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria in set out above are recognised as an 
expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent 
period.

x)  Predecessor Accounting 

Business  combinations  involving  entities  under  common  control  are  accounted  for  using  the  predecessor  accounting 
method. Under this method;  

 

carrying values are not restated in the accounts of the acquiring entity, rather prior book values are maintained. 
As a result no fair value adjustments are recorded on the acquisition; and 

 

the carrying value of net assets or liabilities acquired is recorded as a separate element of equity. 

y)  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge 
and  best  available  current  information.  Estimates  assume  a  reasonable  expectation  of  future  events  and  are  based  on 
current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 

Key Estimates and judgements 

Share based payments 

The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 
equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.    Estimating  fair  value  for  share-based  payment  transactions 
requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the 
grant. 

This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life 
of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the 
probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions. 

The probability of achieving  non-market based vesting conditions of performance options is assessed at  each reporting 
period. 

Management  have  applied  judgement  in  assessing  the  likelihood  of  achieving  the  performance  milestone  for  Class  B 
Performance Options based on revenues from future contracts expected to be realised prior to the vesting date. 

The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 20. 

Trade receivables 

Management assess impairment of the Group’s trade receivables based on assumptions about risk of default and expected 
loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs for the expected credit loss 
model under AASB 9 and impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as 
forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

El-Sight Limited received from Learnicon, LLC, the holder of the Preferred A Shares, several loans that are valued (together 
with interest thereupon) as at 31 December 2016 at US$650,000.  The loans are repayable 31 December 2019 (“Maturity 
Date”).  The Company pays interest on any outstanding amounts at a rate per annum equal to 5%, compounded annually and 
accrued daily, payable denominated in USD and payable at any time, in one or more instalments.  The Company has the right 
to pay the loan at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty.  Until the end of 2016 it was agreed that the loans are 
convertible at the best terms given in any investment transaction but at the end of 2016 the agreement was amended, and 
accordingly unless an IPO in Australia takes place, after the Maturity Date while any portion of the loan remains outstanding,

NOTE 18: ISSUED CAPITAL 

(c) Capital Management 

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source 
of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital 
position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate overheads. The 
Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to 
initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.  Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.

 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

NOTE 21: OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of 
Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.  The 
Group’s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 22: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Financial Risk Management Policies 

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade and other debtors, trade and other payables 
and borrowings. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group’s operations.  

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are market risk (including fair value and interest rate 
risk) and cash flow interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 

(a) Interest Rate Risk 

From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are as a result of the timing of equity raising and 
capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. 
The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates 
in the future.  The exposure to interest rates arises from the cash and cash equivalents balances and borrowings. 

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result  of 
changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial 
liabilities, is below:

Sensitivity Analysis 

The  following  table  illustrates  sensitivities  to  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  exposures  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  The  table 
indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the 
relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement 
in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

(b) Credit risk 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, 
as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.  

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions and trade and other receivables, and is managed by 
the  Group  in  accordance  with  approved  Board  policy.  The  following  table  provides  information  regarding  the  credit  risk 
relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.

NOTE 22: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Impaired trade receivables 

From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses expected credit losses associated on a forward looking basis.  For trade receivables, 
the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised 
from initial recognition of the receivables. 

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.  Indicators that there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure or a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and 
a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. 

During the year, the following gains/(losses) were recognised in profit or loss in relation to impaired receivables:

-  movement in provision for impairment 

(10,119)

Reversal of previous impairment losses 

- 

- 

As at 31 December 2018, trade receivables of US$32,786 (2017 – US$27,033) were past due but not impaired.  These relate 
to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.  The ageing analysis of these trade 
receivables is as follows: 

Up to 3 months 

3 to 6 months 

Over 6 months

2017

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting 
its obligations related to financial liabilities. 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, under both normal and stressed conditions, without 
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. 

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash 
flows.   

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities based on the actual rates at the reporting date excluding 
interest payments:

 (d) Net fair Value of financial assets and liabilities 

Fair value estimation 

Due to the short term nature of the receivables and payables the carrying value approximates fair value. 

(e) Currency risk  

The currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to change in foreign exchange rates. 
Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency 
that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency 
exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel.  

The Company’s policy is not to enter into any currency hedging transactions.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 

Australian accounting standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 31 December 
2018. Relevant Standards and Interpretations are outlined in the table below. 

New/revised pronouncement 

Explanation of amendments 

AASB 16  
Leases 

The key features of AASB 16 are as follows: 

Lessee accounting:  

Application Date of 
Standard 

Application Date of 
Group 

1 January 2019 

1 January 2019 

 

 

 

Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a 

term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying assets is of low value. 

A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets 

and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities.  

 Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on present 

value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments 

(including inflation-linked payments), and also includes payments to be made 

in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to 

extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.  

 

AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees.  

Lessor accounting:  

 

AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements 

in AASB 117. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as 

operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of 

leases differently.  

 

AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors 

that will improve information disclosed about a lessor’s risk exposure, 

particularly to residual value risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Elsight Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Elsight Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (the Group),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, 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 31 December 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

Accounting for share-based payments

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

During the year ended 31 December 2018,

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the

the Group issued options to key

following:

management personnel and employees

and options to advisors which have been

accounted for as share-based payments.

Refer to notes 1 and 20 of the financial

report for a description of the accounting

policy and significant estimates and

judgements applied to these

arrangements.

Share-based payments are a complex

accounting area and due to the complex

and judgemental estimates used in

determining the fair value of the share-

based payments, we consider the Group’s

accounting for share-based payments to

be a key audit matter.

(cid:127) Reviewing the relevant terms and conditions to obtain an

understanding of the contractual nature of the share-based

payment arrangements

(cid:127) Reviewing and evaluating management’s assessment of the

likelihood of achieving the non-market performance

conditions attached to the share-based payments

(cid:127) Reviewing management’s determination of the fair value of

the share-based payments granted, considering the

appropriateness of the valuation model used and assessing

the valuation inputs using BDO’s internal valuation specialists

where appropriate

(cid:127) Assessing the allocation of the share-based payment

expense over the relevant vesting period

(cid:127) Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in Notes

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, but does not include
the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 
2018 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 21 March 2019 and has been approved by the Board of the Company. 

This Corporate Governance Statement discloses the extent to which the Company follows the recommendations set by the 
ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council  in  its  publication  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  3rd  Edition 
(Recommendations).  The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that have not been followed 
have been identified and reasons for not following them, along with what (if any) alternative governance practices have been 
adopted in lieu of the  Recommendation. 

The  Company  has  adopted  Corporate  Governance  Policies  which  provide  written  terms  of  reference  for  the  Company’s 
corporate governance practices. The Board of the Company has not yet formed an audit committee, nomination committee, 
risk management committee or remuneration committee. 

The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies are contained within the Corporate Governance Plan and available on the 
Company’s website at www.el-sight.com 

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

Roles of the Board & Management 
The role of the Board is to provide overall strategic guidance and effective oversight of management. The Board derives its 
authority to act from the Company’s Constitution. 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  and  has  the  authority  to  determine  all  matters  relating  to  the  strategic  direction,  policies, 
practices, establishing goals for management and the operation of the Company. The Board delegates responsibility for the 
day-to-day operations and administration of the Company to the Managing Director. 

The  role  of  management  is  to  support  the  Managing  Director  and  implement  the  running  of  the  general  operations  and 
financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board. 

• 
• 

In addition to matters it is expressly required by law to approve, the Board has reserved the following matters to itself: 
• 
• 

overseeing the Company, including its control and accountability systems; 
appointment, evaluation, rewarding and if necessary the removal of the Managing Director (or equivalent), the 
Company Secretary and senior management personnel; 
ratifying the appointment, and where appropriate, the removal, of senior executives; 
in conjunction with members of the senior management team, develop corporate objectives, strategies and operations 
plans and approve and appropriately monitor plans, new investments, major capital and operating expenditures, use of

• 
establishing appropriate levels of delegation to the executive Directors to allow them to manage the business efficiently; 
•  monitoring actual performance  against planned performance expectations and reviewing operating information  at a 
requisite level, to understand at all times the financial and operating conditions of the Company, including the reviewing 
and approving of annual budgets;

reporting accurately to shareholders, on a timely basis; and 
ensuring that the Company acts legally and responsibly on all matters and assuring itself that the Company has adopted, 
and that its practice is consistent with, a number of guidelines including: 
  Code of Conduct; 
  Continuous Disclosure Policy; 
  Diversity Policy;

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

  Remuneration Policy; 
  Risk Management Review Procedure and Internal Compliance and Control; 
  Securities Trading Policy; and 
  Shareholders Communication Strategy. 

Subject  to  the  specific  authorities  reserved  to  the  Board  under  the  Board  Charter, the  Board  delegates  to  the  Managing 
Director responsibility for the management and operation of Elsight. The Managing Director is responsible for the day-to-day 
operations, financial performance and administration of Elsight within the powers authorised to him from time-to-time by the 
Board.  The  Managing  Director  may  make  further  delegation  within  the  delegations  specified  by  the  Board  and  will  be 
accountable to the Board for the exercise of those delegated powers. 

Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives and structure are set out in the Board Charter which is contained within 
the Corporate Governance Place available on the Elsight website. 

Board Committees 
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation 
of separate committees at this time including audit and risk, remuneration or nomination committees, preferring at this stage 
of  the  Company’s  development,  to  manage  the  Company  through  the  full  Board  of  Directors.  The  Board  assumes  the 
responsibilities normally delegated to the audit and risk, remuneration and nomination Committees. 

If the Company’s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be reviewed by 
the Board and implemented if considered appropriate. 

Board Appointments 
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting that person forward as a 
candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in any way from undertaking the 
duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes 
of candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-election. 

The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are agreed upon and set 
out in writing at the time of appointment. 

The Company Secretary 
The  Company Secretary  is  accountable  directly  to  the  Board,  through  the  Chairman,  on  all  matters to  do  with  the  proper 
functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its Committees (as applicable) 
on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and Committee policies and procedures are followed, communication with 
regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory and other filings. 

Diversity 
The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve measurable 
diversity objectives, including in respect to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity. The Diversity Policy allows the Board 
to set measurable gender diversity objectives (if considered appropriate) and to assess annually both the objectives (if any 
have been set) and the Company’s progress towards achieving them. 

The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and stage of development of the Company, setting measurable objectives for 
the  Diversity Policy at  this  time  is  not  appropriate. The  Board  will  consider  setting  measurable  objectives  as  the Company 
increases in size and complexity. 

The participation of women in the Company at the date of this report is as follows: 
•  Women employees in the Company 
•  Women in senior management positions   
•  Women on the Board  

25% 
16% 
0% 

The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website.

with them, having particular regard to:

including  Director's  duties,  rights  and  responsibilities,  the  time  commitment  envisaged,  and  the  Board's  expectations 
regarding involvement with any Committee  work. 

An induction program is in place and new Directors are encouraged to engage in professional development activities to 
develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively. 

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly 

The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical 
conduct in employment. It underpins the Company’s commitment to integrity and fair dealing in its business affairs and to a 
duty of care to all employees, clients and stakeholders. 

All employees and Directors are expected to:

respect the law and act in accordance with it; 
•  maintain high levels of professional conduct; 
• 
• 
• 
• 

respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities; 
avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest;

dismissal. If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or will occur, he or she must report that 
breach to the Company Secretary, or in their absence, the Chairman.  No employee will be disadvantaged or prejudiced   if he

Company throughout the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant 
to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the 
Board. 

The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors. It also meets with the external auditors as 
and when required. 

The external auditors attend Elsight's AGM and are available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. 

Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor. There are qualitative 
limits on this non-audit work to ensure that the independence of the auditor is maintained. 

There is also a requirement that the lead engagement partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more than 
five years. 

CEO and CFO Certifications 
The Board, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receives from its CEO and CFO (or, if 
none, the persons fulfilling those functions) a declaration provided in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act 
that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements 
comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of 
the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control 
which is operating effectively. 

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 

The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company as required under 
the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The policy is designed to ensure that procedures are in place so that the market 
is properly informed of matters which may have a material impact on the price at which Company securities are traded. 

The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item of business that it 
considers in its meetings. Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration when they become aware of any 
information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company. 

The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the 
Company. 

The  Board  has  designated  the  Company  Secretary  as  the  person  responsible  for  communicating  with  the  ASX.  All  key 
announcements at the discretion of the Managing Director are to be circulated to and reviewed by all members of the Board. 

The Chairman, the Board, Managing Director and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that: 
a) 

company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do not omit any material 
information required to be disclosed under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and 
company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess the impact of 
the information when making investment decisions. 

b) 

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders 

The  Company  recognises  the  value  of  providing  current  and  relevant  information  to  its  shareholders.  The  Board  of  the 
Company aims to ensure that the shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company’s  state of 
affairs. 

The Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the Company is 
committed to: 
• 

communicating effectively with shareholders through releases to the market via ASX, the company website, information 
posted or emailed to shareholders and the general meetings of the Company; 
giving shareholders ready access to clear and understandable information about the Company; and 

• 
•  making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings of the Company. 

The  Company also  makes  available  a telephone  number and email  address  for shareholders  to  make  enquiries  of    the

Company.  These contact details are available on the “Corporate Directory” page of the Company’s website. 

Shareholders  may  elect  to,  and  are  encouraged  to,  receive  communications  from  Elsight  and  Elsight's  securities  registry 
electronically.  The contact details for the registry are available on the “Corporate Directory” page of the Company’s website. 

The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and senior executives, 
Board and committee charters, annual reports and ASX announcements on the Company’s website. 

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout Elsight's business activities. 

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control framework. 
The Company does not have an internal audit function. Responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the 
appropriate level of management within the Company with the Managing Director  having ultimate responsibility to the Board 
for the risk management and internal compliance and control framework. Elsight has established policies for the oversight and 
management of material business risks. 

Elsight's Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy recognises that risk management is an essential element 
of  good  corporate  governance  and  fundamental  in  achieving  its  strategic  and  operational  objectives.  Risk  management 
improves decision making, defines opportunities and mitigates material events that may impact security holder value. 

Elsight believes that explicit and effective risk management is a source of insight and competitive advantage. To this end, 
Elsight is committed to the ongoing development of a strategic and consistent enterprise wide risk management program, 
underpinned by a risk conscious culture. 

Elsight accepts that risk is a part of doing business. Therefore, the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and 
Control Policy is not designed to promote risk avoidance. Rather, Elsight's approach is to create a risk conscious culture that 
encourages the systematic identification, management and control of risks whilst ensuring we do not enter into unnecessary 
risks or enter into risks unknowingly. 

Elsight assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is it evaluates the level of risk remaining and considering all the mitigation 
practices and controls. Depending on the materiality of the risks, Elsight applies varying levels of management plans. 

The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and control system 
to  manage  Elsight’s  material  business  risks.  It  receives  regular  reports  on  specific  business  areas  where  there  may  exist 
significant business risk or exposure. The Company faces risks inherent to its business, including economic risks, which may 
materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long term. 
The Company has in place policies and procedures, including a risk management framework (as described in the Company’s 
Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy), which is developed and updated to help manage these risks. 
The Board does not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to environmental or social sustainability 
risks. 

The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes: 
• 

identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals and objectives, and 
monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks; 
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks, and designing and implementing appropriate risk 
management policies and internal controls; and 

• 

•  monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal 
compliance and controls, including regular assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal 
compliance and control. 

The Board review’s the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues to effectively 
manage risk. 

Management reports to the Board as to the effectiveness of Elsight’s management of its material business risks at each Board 
meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The  Board  as  a  whole  fulfills  the  functions  normally  delegated  to  the  Remuneration  Committee  as  detailed  in  the 
Remuneration Committee Charter. 

Elsight has implemented a Remuneration Policy which was designed to recognise the competitive environment within which 
Elsight operates and also emphasise the requirement to attract and retain high caliber talent in order to achieve sustained 
improvement in Elsight’s performance. The overriding objective of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an individual’s 
remuneration  package  accurately  reflects  their  experience,  level  of  responsibility,  individual  performance  and  the 
performance of Elsight. 

The key principles are to: 
• 

review and approve the executive remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and 
Directors who will create value for shareholders; 
ensure that the executive remuneration policy demonstrates a clear relationship between key executive performance 
and remuneration; 
fairly and responsibly reward executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the 
executive and the prevailing remuneration expectations in the market; 
remunerate fairly and competitively in order to attract and retain top talent; 
recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; and 
review and approve equity based plans and other incentive schemes to foster a partnership between employees and 
other security holders. 

• 

• 

• 
• 
• 

The  Board  determines  the  Company’s  remuneration  policies  and  practices  and  assesses  the  necessary  and  desirable 
competencies  of  Board  members.  The  Board  is  responsible  for  evaluating  Board  performance,  reviewing  Board  and 
management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the Managing Director, Non-Executive Directors 
and senior management based on an annual review. 

Elsight’s executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to directors and key management 
personnel (where applicable) are set out in the Remuneration Report. 

Non-Executive  Directors  receive  fees  (including  statutory  superannuation  where  applicable)  for  their  services,  the 
reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances options. 

The maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is $300,000 per annum as disclosed within the Company’s 
constitution.  The Directors set the individual Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders. 

Executive  directors  and  other  senior  executives  (where  appointed)  are  remunerated  using  combinations  of  fixed  and 
performance  based  remuneration.  Fees  and  salaries  are  set  at  levels  reflecting  market  rates  and  performance  based 
remuneration is linked directly to specific performance targets that are aligned to both short and long term objectives. 

The Company prohibits Directors and employees from entering into any transaction that would have the effect of hedging or 
otherwise transferring the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company’s securities to any 
other person. 

Further  details  in  relation  to  the  company’s  remuneration  policies  are  contained  in  the  Remuneration  Report,  within  the 
Directors’ report.
