This is the world’s most compact, next-generation technology, enabling always-on, real-time connectivity. Together, with its hardware solutions our technology platform is the backbone of remote, mobile and distributed work. Elsight solutions have demonstrated to be highly relevant for security forces, police, army, medical professionals, government, and other organisations requiring a secured communication solution while providing always-on connectivity to the internet at high speeds, low power consumption and secured data transmission. These solutions are best designed for conversations, meetings, and other forms of communications using video livestreams. In the rapid onset of COVID-19 globally, Elsight solutions can offer reliable communication for these groups where this has become even more crucial. Challenges arising from the spread of the COVID-19 are likely to accelerate the need and use of technologies as arms of government ,a huge array of businesses as well as consumers go into lockdowns, and millions are forced to work from home. Businesses have greater motivations and fewer perceived barriers to actively seek technology-enabled solutions to assist in business continuity. In the past several weeks Elsight has received a substantial increase in the number of significant requests by many governments, security services and health ministries for telehealth and generally innovative and secure communications solutions. The Company is currently assessing its ability to deliver the quantities as well as the quality of product required. We will have a better view of these promising developments in the coming weeks. Importantly, Elsight is well positioned to help companies, organisations and governments globally with innovative solutions, during these turbulent times. On behalf of my fellow directors, I would like to thank our staff and other stakeholders for continuing to operate during this period and to our investors for continuing their journey with us. Stay safe and healthy and we look forward to reporting our progress to you throughout 2020. Sincerely, Maj. Gen. (res) Ami Shafran Chairman l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 3 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 4 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 5 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 6 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Your Directors present their report, together with the financial statements of Elsight Limited (“the Company”) and controlled entities (“the Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2019.

Dividends There were no dividends paid or recommended during the financial year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: Nil). Review of operations Unless otherwise stated all figures in this report are in the Company’s presentation currency US$. Elsight Limited had a loss for the year of $3,192,433 (2018: loss of $4,206,972). The 2019 loss included selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,660,673. The net assets of the Group have decreased by $3,084,798, from net assets of $4,500,060 at 31 December 2018 to net assets of $1,415,262 at 31 December 2019.

As at 31 December 2019 the Group has working capital of $936,808 (2018: $4,288,342). Significant changes in the state of affairs There were no significant changes to the Company or the state of its affairs during the year. Highlights during the year Halo The Group unveiled its new Halo communication platform at the world’s largest mobile technology conference in February 2019. Halo’s breakthrough technology integrates Elsight’s high bandwidth secured data transmission technology while introducing a dramatically reduced form factor, weight, power consumption and heat index. The platform is offered in two main configurations: a highly compact standalone external device, or a lightweight internal board. The Halo 2000/4000 features multiple cellular modules, built in WiFi, and an optional video encoder and an internal battery. Halo is highly adaptable and able to integrate with any platform or device, making it ideal for future-forward Original Electronic Manufacturers (OEMs), drones or other application that requires light weight, hi-bandwidth, secured and always-on solution. During the first half of the year, the Group focused on the development of its Halo technology towards commercialisation, involving a ramp up in the final testing, logistics, marketing and sales activities. 7 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F Proof of concept (POC) trials were undertaken throughout the year, with feedback received from the trials incorporated into Halo performance enhancements resulting in the release of the first commercially available version of Halo, Halo v1.1, in November 2019. The Group’s testing and pilot programs continued towards the end of the year, with feedback and data generated by the testing expected to result in additional features and enhancements which will be incorporated in a later release of Halo v1.2. Through the execution of a methodical, sector-by-sector approach, the Company is aiming to have and maintain a single, comprehensive version of firmware that is as generic as possible in order to minimise the cost of installation, integration and adaptation. The Group continues to receive positive feedback from the field trials being undertaken with POC partners, providing additional validation of the Group’s flagship Halo program. Following the end of the reporting period the Group was pleased to announce on 13 January 2020 that it had received an initial purchase order for 50 Halo units from Israel’s largest defence, aerospace, robotics, and aviation manufacturer – Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a key strategic partner for Elsight. The 50 unit order was received following an extended, wide- ranging POC that paved the way for the full integration of the Halo communications platform within the robotic and unmanned systems of IAI subsidiary ELTA. Halo’s Integration with Drones In October 2019, Elsight received its first purchase order for ten Halo units from Airobotics, a tier one US-based provider of automated, industrial drone and aerial data platforms, for a pilot trial. Airobotics’ pilotless drone solution is the world’s first and only regulatory compliant UAV solution that can be operated remotely. Airobotics’ end-to-end automated drone platform is purpose-built to simplify drone operations. The pilot trial commenced in November 2019, with Airobotics successfully conducting a wide range of tests during numerous flights with airborne platforms and fully integrated with Halo v1.1 onboard as the communications solution. The success of these flight tests follows system adaptations undertaken by both Elsight and Airobotics to advance the integration process. The next step in the integration process is the carrying out of additional test flights in different field flight test areas and terrains across the country, and upon their success, additional field flight tests will be carried out in the U.S. designed to prepare Airobotics’ Halo-integrated platform to become the world’s first, manually driven and autonomous drone based airborne platform and communication system certified by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to fly over urban and populated areas. The Group is making significant progress validating Halo v1.1’s applicability and integrability for drone operations beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) through the field trials with Airobotics, Gadfin, and other drone technology solution providers. The Group’s partners and clients have carried out hundreds of hours of test flights of Halo-equipped drones, and the responses coming in indicate that the capabilities of the Halo platform with respect to the facilitation and enabling of BVLOS drone operations continue to unequivocally differentiate it from other market entrants. Halo v1.1 Software Platform In December 2019 the Group received an initial A$91,000 purchase order for Halo firmware equipped Multichannel units from the official National Fire and Rescue Authority, the official fire and rescue authority of the State of Israel. The National Fire and Rescue Authority will use these units to provide always-on communication between their national headquarters and their command and control centres spread across the country. This is the first purchase order for Elsight technology solutions including the newly released Halo software platform, with a cloud based, recurring revenue model, in this case supplied as firmware with Multichannel units. Beyond the actual modernisation and upgrade of the Multichannel platform, this Multichannel equipped with Halo’s advanced firmware provides the Group with a new capability to sell cloud-based services under a monthly recurring revenue model to existing and new customers alike. The purchase order comes after a year of field trials conducted to demonstrate the capabilities of Elsight’s technology, and the identification of a wide array of applications for Elsight’s technology within the National Fire and Rescue Authority’s platforms. Opening of US office with local staff In November, the Group opened its US office in Atlanta, Georgia and announced the appointment of Ms Karin Zalcberg as Director of Sales and Marketing for Elsight North America. In North America, the Group remains focused on extending its ongoing network with a number of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in both the defence and civilian sectors. In 8 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT addition to established OEM relationships the Company has begun laying the groundwork for direct and indirect sales via distributors and reseller agreements under Ms Zalcberg’s leadership. Placement Subsequent to the reporting period the Group announced on 10 January 2020 that it had raised approximately AUD$2.88m through a placement to a Hong Kong-based group of cornerstone investors who have been shareholders for the majority of the Group’s history of quotation on the ASX. The funds raised will be used to expand sales and marketing efforts with respect to the commercialisation of Halo in addition to being earmarked as working capital required for expanding the manufacture of product. Following the placement, the Group is well attended to execute its commercialisation strategy for 2020. Significant events after the reporting period Since the reporting date the following significant events have occurred:    Mr Raj Logaraj resigned as a director of the Company effective 7 January 2020.

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. There were no options were issued to key management personnel under the Plan during the 2019 financial year (2018: 460,000). 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 17 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 DIRECTORS’ REPORT activities and membership of any committee.

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$349,695) 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.

Total fees for the Non-executive Directors for the financial year were US$146,020 (2018: US$80,283) and cover main Board activities only. Non-executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Group.

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the acquisition did 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. Common control entity accounting was applied at transaction date. c) Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards The Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. The impact of the adoption of this standard has had a material impact on the amounts presented in the Group’s financial statements as disclosed below. d) Changes in Accounting Policies This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2019. The Group has applied the Modified Retrospective Approach in its adoption of AASB 16. Comparative information has not been restated as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the adoption of AASB 16 are recognised in the opening statement of financial position at 1 January 2019, with the cumulative effect of initial application recognised as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. 29 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AASB 16 Leases – Impact of Adoption Lease liabilities On adoption of AASB 16 the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was 3.58%. Lease liabilities recognised at 1 January 2019 are as follows: Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 31 December 2018 Less: Discount applied Operating lease commitments discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application Add: finance lease liabilities recognised as at 31 December 2018 Less: short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense Lease liability recognised as at 1 January 2019 2019 US$ 361,902 (36,970) 324,932 - - 324,932 Of which are: Current lease liabilities Non-current lease liabilities Total lease liability Right of use assets 31 December 2019 1 January 2019 US$ 167,520 - 167,520 US$ 189,618 135,314 324,932 The associated right of use assets for property and vehicle leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. There were no other right of use assets and no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right of use assets at the date of initial application. The recognised right of use assets relate to the following types of assets: Office space Motor vehicles Total right of use assets 31 December 2019 1 January 2019 US$ 135,645 26,058 161,703 US$ 250,155 68,774 318,929 The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the statement of financial position on 1 January 2019:   Right of use assets – increase by US$318,929; and Lease liabilities – increase by US$324,932. The net impact on accumulated losses on 1 January 2019 was an increase of US$6,003. 30 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES e) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2019. 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. 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. l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 31 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES f) Revenue from Contracts with Customers 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. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and can be reliably measured. g) Income Tax Current income tax expense charged to 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 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. 32 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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. h) Financial Instruments Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:   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 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. i) 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. j) 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. k) 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 45 days and 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. 33 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 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 shared 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. l) 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. m) Operating expenses Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. n) 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. o) 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. 34 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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. p) 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. q) 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. r) 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. s) 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. t) 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. 35 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 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 operations with functional currencies other than United States 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 profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of. u) 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. v) 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. w) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:   the profit attributable to members 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). 36 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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. x) 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 over a period of 3 – 7 years. 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. y) 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. z) 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. 37 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions of performance options is assessed at each reporting period. Management has applied judgement in assessing the likelihood of achieving the performance milestones for Class B and C 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 18. 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. l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 38 ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 2: REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS Revenue recognised at a point in time: - Sale of physical goods Revenue recognised over a period of time: - SLA and other services Total revenue 2019 US$ 2018 US$ 1,040,884 1,610,938 247,013 80,984 1,287,897 1,691,922 The Group has recognised the following assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers: - - Contract assets Contract liabilities - - 34,610 40,668 There were no significant movements in contract assets or liabilities during the year.

The Group’s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements. NOTE 20: 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 not considered to be material. (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. Cash and cash equivalents – AA Rated Trade and other receivables – no rating Impaired trade receivables Note 8a 9 2019 US$ 933,517 571,618 2018 US$ 3,632,926 1,152,211 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. 50 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS During the year, the following gains/(losses) were recognised in profit or loss in relation to impaired receivables: Impairment losses - individually impaired receivables - movement in provision for impairment Reversal of previous impairment losses 2019 US$ 6,654 6,654 - 2018 US$ - (10,119) - As at 31 December 2019, trade receivables of US$228,806 (2018 – US$32,786) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows: Up to 3 months 3 to 6 months Over 6 months 2019 US$ 13,971 2,485 212,350 228,806 2018 US$ 25,054 1,770 5,962 32,786 Of the past due receivables of US$228,806 at 31 December 2019, US$30,000 remained outstanding at the date of annual report publication. (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities based on the actual rates at the reporting date excluding interest payments: 2019 Interest rate Less than 6 months 6-12 months 1-2 years 2-5 years US$ US$ US$ US$ Over 5 years US$ Total contractual cash flows US$ Carrying amount US$ Financial liabilities at amortised cost Trade and other payables Borrowings Lease liabilities - 2.33% - 694,882 10,307 83,760 - 53,145 83,760 788,949 136,905 - 8,044 - 8,044 - 1,037 - 1,037 - - - - 694,882 72,533 167,520 694,882 72,533 167,520 934,935 934,935 51 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 2018 Interest rate Less than 6 months 6-12 months 1-2 years 2-5 years Over 5 years US$ US$ US$ US$ US$ Total contractual cash flows US$ Carrying amount US$ Financial liabilities at amortised cost Trade and other payables Borrowings - 2.32% 883,882 9,296 893,178 - 9,399 9,399 - 58,509 58,509 - 8,234 8,234 - - - 883,882 85,438 969,320 883,882 85,438 969,320 (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.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. This declaration has been made after receiving the declaration required to be made to the directors in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ended 31 December 2019. This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors and is signed for and on behalf of the Directors by: Mr Nir Gabay Managing Director 24 March 2020 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 55 Tel: +61 8 6382 4600 Fax: +61 8 6382 4601 www.bdo.com.au 38 Station Street Subiaco, WA 6008 PO Box 700 West Perth WA 6872 Australia l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 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 2019, 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 2019 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. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability a by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F Accounting for Shared-based payments Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit During the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group issued options to key management personnel and employees and options to advisors which have been accounted for as share-based payments. Refer to notes 1 and 18 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. Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: (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 1 and 18 of the financial report. 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 2019, 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. l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 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. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 capital, acquisitions, divestitures and major funding activities; • 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; • monitoring the performance of senior management, including the implementation of strategy, and ensuring appropriate • • • • • • • resources are available to them; identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring that the Company is appropriately positioned to manage those risks; overseeing the management of safety, occupational health and environmental matters; satisfying itself that the financial statements of the Company fairly and accurately set out the financial position and financial performance of the Company for the period under review; satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the Board that proper operational, financial, compliance, and internal control processes are in place and functioning appropriately; ensuring that appropriate internal and external audit arrangements are in place and operating effectively; 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;  Performance Evaluation Practices;  Procedures for Selection and Appointment of Directors; 59  ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753  Remuneration Policy;  Risk Management Review Procedure and Internal Compliance and Control;  Securities Trading Policy;  Shareholders Communication Strategy; and  Whistleblower Policy. 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 16% 0% 0% The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website. l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F 60 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 Board & Management Performance Review On an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of its structure, composition and performance.

The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the Managing Director against agreed key performance indicators. The Managing Director conducts an annual performance assessment of senior executives against agreed key performance indicators.

Independent Advice Directors have a right of access to all Company information and executives. Directors are entitled, in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent external professional advice as considered necessary at the expense of the Company, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman. A copy of any such advice received is made available to all members of the Board.

The Board believes that orderly succession and renewal contributes to strong corporate governance and is achieved by careful planning and continual review. The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of directors. The Board reviews the size and composition of the Board regularly and at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process. The Board has established a Board Skills Matrix. The Board Skills Matrix includes the following areas of knowledge and expertise: • • • • • • strategic expertise; specific industry knowledge; accounting and finance; risk management; experience with financial markets; and investor relations. Induction of New Directors and Ongoing Development New Directors are issued with a formal Letter of Appointment that sets out the key terms and conditions of their appointment, 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; act in the best interests of shareholders; by their actions contribute to the Company’s reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks the respect of the community and environment in which it operates; perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety; exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace and with customers, suppliers and the public generally; and act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times. • • • An employee that breaches the Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action including, in the cases of serious breaches, 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 or she reports in good faith a suspected breach under the terms of the Company’s Whistleblower Policy. All reports will be acted upon and kept confidential. Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting The Board as a whole fulfills to the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the Audit Committee Charter. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the 62 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 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 63 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 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. 64 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 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. 65 l y n o e s u l a n o s r e p r o F ELSIGHT LIMITED ABN 98 616 435 753 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2019 ADDITIONAL ASX INFORMATION The shareholder information set out below was applicable as at 18 March 2020 As at 18 March 2020 there were 105,242,599 ordinary fully paid shares held by 900 individual shareholders.
