IMDEX Annual Report 2022 Rock Knowledge & Quality Data
Rock knowledge is an understanding of location, texture, grade and
mineralogy.
It answers questions relating to where to drill next and how
processing can be optimised.
We enable the timely delivery
of quality data, giving clarity
on the nature of the rock to
allow real-time decisions to be
made, rather than having to
wait weeks or months.
Many billion dollar mining
investment decisions are made
having sampled only 1% of 1% of the
orebody.

IMDEX Annual Report 2022 The Four Components of Rock Knowledge
LOCATION
IMDEX HUB-IQTM connected survey tools
mean geologists can see where their holes are
anywhere and anytime, rather than relying on
paper based flows.
TEXTURE
IMDEX’s Structural-IQ solution
combines multiple sensors to allow
geologists to see the position of
their structures in 3D as they log
in the core farm. This replaces
workflow where data gathering and
interpretation were separated by
weeks or months.
MINERALS
IMDEX’s aiSIRIS™ software provides
a real-time mineralogy solution to
IMDEX’s rock knowledge offering.
It replaces a workflow reliant on
laboratory and expert interpretation
that is asynchronous to data
collection.
GRADE
IMDEX’s In-field GeoAnalysis solution enables
geoscientists to obtain quality assay data at the rig or
core farm rather than waiting for laboratory results.

IMDEX Annual Report 2022 Operating Environment
Strong Industry Fundamentals
Large, mid-cap and junior resource companies all remain well-funded and
committed to current programs
Continued demand and extraction of mineral resources with diminishing
reserves
New discoveries are likely to be at depth resulting in larger drilling
campaigns
Global commitment towards net zero emissions and increasing demand
for critical metals
Exploration spend profile is shifting due to a mix of targeting, compliance
and drilling at depth
Increasing demand for secure real-time rock knowledge data and solutions
to support remote and automated operations
The commitment to growth in exploration
by all participants in the resource sector is
high and reflects both the positive underlying
fundamentals and the sense of urgency
required. Execution, however, is likely to take
place over a longer period of time than planned.

IMDEX Annual Report 2022 CEO Report and Review of
Operations
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to provide a review of our
results and our operations for the 2022
financial year (FY22).
Record Financial Performance
The FY22 year was defined by a combination of positive
market demand, offset by some challenging labour and
supply chain considerations, and the advancement of
our own strategic plans.
The clear highlights in FY22 are the record revenues,
record earnings, and continued EBITDA margin
expansion. The key features of our business model
have ensured that we can respond to the emerging
challenges in our marketplace, continue to support
customers and continue to invest in our strategy. The
end result is a reflection of our objective to outperform
industry market growth in all conditions.
In a year where supply chain pressures and a high
Whilst not immune from the various challenges due
to supply chain, labour availability and inflationary
pressures, we are well protected relative to other
industries, including mining services. As a people light,
capex light business, with deep supply chain capability
and the ability to support our customers remotely
anywhere in the world, we are well positioned to service
our dynamic customer needs.
During the year we generated record revenue of
$341.8m and our record EBITDA of $104.9m was up
38.9%. On a constant currency basis, revenue and
earnings grew 26.5% and 33.8% respectively.
Our strong uplift in earnings continues to reflect the
increasing percentage of revenue coming from our
higher-margin sensors and software business. At the
close of FY22, rentals and subscriptions represented
58% of revenue.
The benefits of our Digital 1.0 program, which
delivered scalable operating systems to support our
business, have been sustained. This has paved the
inflationary environment have had a combined impact
on net working capital, our business performed
strongly. Whilst net working capital grew in 1H22 it
peaked in 3Q22 and eased in 4Q22. The majority of
working capital growth was directly in line with revenue
growth, with a smaller portion attributable to the
longer lead times within global supply chains. Our
expectation is that while there are signs of easing,
supply chains will remain under some form of pressure
for the next 12 – 24 months. Pleasingly, IMDEX is well
positioned with its network of suppliers around the
world ensuring continuity of customer service.
After accommodating the supply chain and inflationary
movements, operational cash generation remains
strong. This has afforded us with the opportunity
to make a number of investments including our
acquisition of MINEPORTAL™, our 30% investment in
Datarock and the acceleration of our IMDEX Mining
Technology initiatives.
Strong financial results are the end result of strong

IMDEX Annual Report 2022 Operational Achievements
Safety Engagement and Performance
At the height of COVID-19 we were focused on
protecting our people and protecting the continuity
of business for our clients. Whilst the urgency around
COVID-19 has given way to greater certainty in how we
live and work with COVID now, it will remain present
in our workplaces for some time to come. Accordingly,
we must continue to respond to our employees’
physical and mental wellbeing.
Our most recent employee engagement survey,
conducted by Gallup, showed a 15% improvement
in our engagement score, and clearly indicates that
IMDEX has navigated these pandemic and workplace
challenges well. I am thankful to our teams all around
the world for continuing to make IMDEX an attractive
place to work and a safe place to work. It is not
something we take for granted.
At IMDEX we place a high focus on HSE, whether in
a stream of enhancements or problems to solve. The
discipline in our R&D process is our ability to evaluate
those opportunities critically in two key areas. The
first is selecting projects that support our current
business (Horizon 1) and our future business (Horizons
2 & 3) in the right proportion. The second is our
ability to focus on the right effort at the right time
in a product lifecycle and determine when to keep
investing, cease investing, change priorities or remove
support for a product that is at its end-of-life. In turn,
this discipline frees up capital to deploy on projects
that meet our clients most pressing needs.
We maintain a disciplined approach to our product
portfolio. This whole-of-life-cycle lens is a key feature
of our business model and ensures we are optimising
value for customers and returns for shareholders both.
Following the review of our product portfolio, several
end-of-life products and early-stage projects will be
phased out or no longer progressed. One of these
development projects is COREVIBE™. During the
our own places of work or at our clients. Pleasingly, we
period we completed a body of test work, the outcome
saw a marked increase in safety engagement across
our global group during FY22. Whilst we all report
safety incidents in their various forms, a long-term
safety culture requires deep employee engagement
with safety as a behaviour. As such, we prioritise
engagement first and HSE outcomes second. During
the year engagement increased by 146% and for the
first time in our history we recorded over 365 days
of which was that COREVIBE™ no longer meets the
financial and operational stage gate hurdles we have
set for it to be an IMDEX product. Similarly further test
work was undertaken on MAGHAMMER™, also acquired
as part of the Flexidrill transaction, and this product
continues to exhibit value. However, these products
are no longer considered core to the IMDEX strategy,
and the decision was made to pursue alternative

I am conscious that we set HSE expectations for our
people at a global level. As such, I am humbled by
the ownership our teams around the world have to
ensure we set the highest possible standards of HSE
engagement and outcomes for our people.

capabilities is disciplined research and development.

One of the most significant achievements was
the progression of our IMDEX BLAST DOG™ from
engineering prototype to the commercial prototype
phase in the fourth quarter of FY22. This Horizon
3 investment has passed significant milestones in
engineering trials with customers in Australia, North
America, and South America. By moving to commercial
prototype, we move it from Horizon 3 to Horizon 2 and
will build the support structure required to expedite
further trials with the view to commercial contracts.

As exciting as our BLAST DOG™ technology is,

challenging, and supportive way has been a highlight.
Outlook
We are transitioning from a period of uncertainty
The value I place in our team’s work effort, intelligence,
and ability to challenge each other makes for the
most rewarding work environment I have ever known.
In turn, their ability to build, align and lead their own
driven by COVID-19 to a period of uncertainty driven by
teams is exemplary, particularly under such challenging
a high inflationary and rising interest rate environment.
conditions.
Our position is that the underlying fundamentals for
our business remain largely unchanged. As a result,
we are looking at the next three to five years as
having relatively low risk, despite some elements of
uncertainty in the market place.
I learnt long ago that the best ideas never originate in
the boardroom, they come from the frontline teams
who use our products and have a front row seat to
witness our customer’s emerging challenges. Our
performance in this industry is critically dependent on

net zero emissions and the resultant demand for
critical metals, or the continued extraction of reserves
outstripping their replacement, the demand drivers
are strong.
Our drilling clients report strong forward looking order
Finally, the clear but ambitious strategy that we have
embarked upon would not have been possible without
the support of our Board. Each member invests
significant time in understanding our current business,
our future business and our people. To Anthony and

ongoing exploration budgets.
In the short-term, we anticipate workplace
absenteeism will continue to impact labour availability
for customers and their ability to maximise drilling
shifts. Similarly, whilst we have seen early signs of
supply chain pressures easing, they are expected to
temper activity. Our expectation is that the current
short-term uncertainty will not substantially impact
the industry’s activity, nor its commitment to medium
and long-term development.
For the balance of FY23 we remain committed
to maintaining the strength of our core business;
accelerating our extension into mining production; and
executing Digital 2.0.
IMDEX is well positioned to leverage the robust
industry fundamentals its global presence, leading
technologies and integrated solutions provide.

significant maturing for the business. Bringing

understanding of how compliance requirements interact
with our business.
Modern Slavery
We were pleased to upgrade our Modern Slavery
statement throughout the year to continue our focus on
this important compliance area. To support our aims,
we undertook the following:
•
Reviewed our third party due diligence process,
which has resulted in the decision to move providers
and broaden both our customer and supplier due

• Updated our Supplier Code of Conduct to
emphases our obligation to comply with human
rights obligations under the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights and modern slavery acts; and
• Updated our purchase order conditions to have a
positive obligation on modern slavery compliance.

- Paul House, Chief Executive Officer
People and Culture
During FY22, our global workforce increased by 101 to 622 fulltime employees. This 19.4%
uplift was largely to support strategic growth areas including the IMDEX Mining Technology
business unit, software and engineering capabilities and customer care (IT support).
Additional sales and marketing personal were also engaged to support increased market
activity and demand for our product portfolio.
The average workforce turnover of 18% was up from 16% in FY21. The increase can be largely attributed to
talent shortages, high demand for mining and technology capabilities and the global impact from the Great
Resignation.
These market pressures increased the cost-for-talent; however, we have deployed a range of tactics to address
changing needs. Initiatives included: proactively developing recruitment pipelines, hiring from adjacent
industries, building on our strong Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and providing hybrid working opportunities.

Mental Health and Safety month in October, with a
theme of resilience.
Capability Development
Key organisational capabilities were identified to
sustain our growth as a mining technology company. We
continued to strengthen our core business, including
shaping team structures and operating models,
targeted M&A activity and acquiring new talents. Our
new people capability initiatives were also introduced
including our Kickstart a Career @ IMDEX program,
which aligns with our Game-Changer and Together
Values.
Based on survey results, each function created an
action plan to address gaps within teams, or in
partnership with other teams. As an example, our HR
team was restructured, and key changes were made to
the way we work. Collectively, this work has provided
a clear pathway regarding how the function will better
support our growing business, both now and into the
future.
Remuneration
IMDEX is committed to attracting and retaining the
right people. We do this by rewarding employees
appropriately for the work they perform, and ensuring

and bringing all employees in line with benchmarks. Our
overall gender pay gap reduced from 30% down to 13%
during FY22. When comparing gender pay for equivalent
roles, this further reduces our current state to 4%.
Benefits
We engaged Willis Towers Watson (WTW) to conduct
a global benefits review. Virtual focus groups were
run in late FY22 to understand employee preferences.
WTW has also commenced market analysis to identify
insights into EVP options and opportunities being
offered in the market, particularly post-pandemic.
These insights will shape our benefits and programs in
FY23 and beyond.
Recognition
Our IMDEX High5 Award Program was designed
and launched to enable peers to spontaneously
acknowledge peers who demonstrate core behaviours
aligned to our IMDEX Values. This Award has been well
supported and has highlighted employees who have
gone above and beyond, have worked safely and who
have been active and responsive listeners.
Our IMDEX Impact Award Program recognises
employees who demonstrated extraordinary
achievements within our business. From around 70
nominations globally in FY22, over 20 recipients were
tangibly rewarded for their substantial positive impact.
Some immediate changes to bolster our EVP include
a judicious, staged expansion of hybrid working2
practices. As needed, we will employ in-demand skills
via virtual work models or in alternate IMDEX locations
in order to secure high calibre candidates. This
approach was successfully utilised for some technology
roles in FY22.
During FY23 we will continue to strengthen and expand
commercial, marketing and technology functions.
In addition, we expect to strengthen our people
capabilities including solutions consulting, client
relationship management and analysis of market and
competitors.
On a macro-level, we are positioned to scale as needed
with any fluctuation in resource sector pricing and
investments during FY23. We are ready to take a more
adaptive approach to workforce and change strategies
as required, setting clear strategy but flexing programs

Changes in State of Affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Group finalised a Deed of Termination and Settlement with the prior owners of the
Flexidrill technologies, with final settlement paid in August 2022. This has not resulted in any material change to the deferred
consideration liability recognised at 30 June 2022 (refer to Note 4.8).
Other than the above, there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the result of these operations, or the state of affairs
of the Group in future financial years.
Environmental Regulations
The only entity in the Group that is subject to environmental regulations is Samchem Drilling Fluids and Chemicals (Pty) Ltd. They
are required to comply with the South African National Water Act, Act No 36 of 1998 which requires the management of effluent
discharge. This is controlled through an effluent system.
During the current period, we have not had any reports of environmental regulatory non-compliance globally.
More specific details about IMDEX’s sustainability initiatives and performance, including safety, health and environment, can be
found on IMDEX’s website www.imdexlimited.com/investors/esg.
Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in
note 5.8 to the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the
auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The Directors are of the opinion that the fees paid for services provided as disclosed in note 5.8 to the financial statements do not
compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, for
the following reasons:
•
All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of
the auditor, and
• None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional
& Ethical Standards Board, including 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 economic risks and rewards.

Framework
Implemented
An executive remuneration review was conducted whereby each executive’s
remuneration position against our external market comparators was assessed,
together with individual performance, role complexity and internal remuneration
relativity.
As a result, The CEO’s base salary increased 7% from $700,000 to $750,000 per
annum during FY22. Mr Southwell and Ms Carey also received an annual base salary
increase of 12% and 19% respectively.
There were no other increases for Senior Executives during the year.
See Statutory Remuneration in Section 5 for more details.
The Company had strong financial and safety performance in FY22, exceeding
budgeted EBITDA and the targeted Group Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate
(LTIFR), with mandatory Compliance and Safety training fully completed.
The Executives were awarded 100% of maximum for these components, 50% of
which will be awarded in performance rights subject to a 12-month deferral period
requiring continued employment. The remaining 50% will be awarded as cash.
See Section 5 for more information.
The 2018 LTI (FY19) had a three-year performance period ending on 30 June 2021.
As result of performance testing undertaken in September 2021, the Board
approved vesting of this award at 65%.
For the three-year performance period ending 30 June 2022, the 2019 LTI (FY20) is
anticipated to vest at 63%. Note the outcome for this award will not be known until
all peer company reports for the comparator group are released (typically from
August to October 2022). Indicative testing of results for this award have been
provided in Section 5 of this report with final outcomes to be disclosed in the FY23
Remuneration Report.
See Section 5 for more information.
Aggregate NED fee pool was approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM to increase
from $700,000 to $950,000. This increase moved the NED fee pool more in line with
benchmarking peers and provides headroom for future NED appointments.
There were no increases to fees for NEDs in FY22.
Refer to Section 6 for disclosures regarding our NEDs.
Key changes to the Executive Remuneration Framework effective from 1 July 2021
include:
•
•
•
•
•
Remuneration mix revised to emphasise greater ‘at risk’
STI deferral introduced to encourage greater equity ownership
STI maximum opportunity increased from 35% to 50% for the CEO and from
25% to 35% for other executives to align to the market
LTI maximum opportunity increased from 50% to 100% for the CEO and from
35% to 70% for other executives to align to the market
LTI measures revised to relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) (50%), absolute
EPS (20%) and strategic milestones (30%) to align with long term business
imperatives
Executive remuneration and incentive structures continue to be monitored and
reviewed annually to ensure alignment with business need and relevant market
practices.

Remuneration Governance
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (the Committee) comprises three independent NEDs.
The Committee has delegated decision making authority for some matters related to the remuneration arrangements
for NEDs and Executives and is required to make recommendations to the Board on other matters.
Specifically, the Board approves the remuneration arrangements of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other
Executives, and all awards made under the short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI) plans, following
recommendations from the Committee. The Board also sets the aggregate remuneration of NEDs, which is then subject
to shareholder approval, and NED fee levels. The Committee approves the level of the STI pool, having regard to the
recommendations made by the CEO.
The Committee meets regularly through the year. The CEO attends certain Committee meetings by invitation, where
management input is required and is not present during any discussions related to his own remuneration
arrangements.
Further information on the Committee’s role, responsibilities and membership can be seen at www.imdexlimited.com
Use of remuneration consultants
To ensure the Committee is fully informed when making remuneration decisions, it seeks external remuneration
advice. Remuneration consultants are engaged by, and report directly to the Committee. In selecting remuneration
consultants, the Committee considers potential conflicts of interest and requires independence from the Company’s
KMP and other Executives as part of their terms of engagement.
During the financial year, the Committee engaged The Reward Practice Pty Ltd as remuneration consultants to provide
remuneration services in respect to external benchmarking for KMP roles and general insights for Executive
remuneration structures, with a total fee of $32,000 for these services. During the period no remuneration
recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act, were provided by The Reward Practice Pty Ltd.
Remuneration report approval at 2021 AGM
The FY21 Remuneration Report received strong shareholder support at the 2021 AGM with a vote of 99.28% in favour.

4B: Approach to setting remuneration and details of incentive plans
In FY22, the Executive remuneration framework consisted of base salary and short and long-term incentives as outlined
below.
Overall remuneration level and mix
How is overall
remuneration
and mix
determined?
Remuneration levels are considered annually through a review that considers comparative market
data, the performance of the Company and individual, and the broader economic environment.
The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix (proportion of base salary and other
benefits, short term incentives and long-term incentives) of remuneration appropriate to their
position, responsibilities, and performance within the Company and that which is aligned with
targeted market comparators.
Comparative companies are based on the following:
•
Industry peers with similar market capitalisation;
• Mining, Equipment, Technology and Services companies with comparable market capitalisation;
and
• Other industry companies with which IMDEX competes for talent.
In FY22 remuneration benchmarking was undertaken with reference to industry peers with a
comparative market capitalisation. The Company’s policy is to position base salary around the 62.5
percentile of industry peers.
The chart below summarises the CEO other Executives’ remuneration mix based on maximum
opportunity for Fixed Remuneration (base salary plus superannuation), STI and LTI. The mix is
considered appropriate for IMDEX based on market relativity and alignment to the Company’s
short term and long-term strategic imperatives.
Base salary and other benefits
How is base
salary and
other benefits
reviewed and
approved?
Base salary and other benefits are reviewed annually from benchmarked remuneration data, and
any changes for Executives are subject to approval from the Board considering recommendations
from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Short Term Incentives
What is the STI plan?
What are the
performance criteria
and how do they align
with business
performance?
The Company operates an annual STI program that is available to Executives subject to the
attainment of clearly defined Company and individual financial and non-financial
measures.
Actual STI payments awarded to each Executive depend on the extent to which
performance criteria set at the beginning of the financial year are met. Half the STI award
is paid in cash and half is delivered as deferred performance rights (Rights) which may vest
after 12 months subject to continued employment.
The performance criteria consist of several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering
financial and non-financial, corporate, and business unit measures of performance which
are focussed on key performance drivers for the business. Within each KPI, stretch
objectives are set.
Executives will only be eligible for a payment to the extent that the overarching EBITDA
Gate is met or exceeded and 100% of mandatory compliance and safety training is
achieved. EBITDA is considered a key measure against which Management and the Board
assess the short-term financial performance of the Company.
Targets are set based on budget, adequacy of challenge and business objectives. Targets
reflect business expectations at that time and may vary from prior year performance
depending on economic and market conditions. The targets and outcomes may be
adjusted (up or down) to exclude the impacts of uncontrollable items such as fair value
gains on deferred consideration and gains on sale of investment.
The performance criteria and weightings are summarised as follows:
Performance Criteria
Weighting Detail of Measures
Corporate
Safety

Individual Performance

Based on key measures identified annually for the

role. A combination of scores assessed for
executives based on individual goals relating to:
• Customer Focus and Technical Leadership
• Operational Excellence & Quality
• Risk, Compliance & Safety
• People & Capability
• IMDEX Values
• Strategic Initiatives
As part of the assessment, the participant will be
considered against the IMDEX values as part of
determining final outcomes.
What is the value of
the STI award
opportunity?
How are STI payouts
determined?
What happens to STI
awards on cessation of
employment?
The CEO has a maximum STI opportunity of 50% of base salary. Other Executives have a
maximum STI opportunity of up to 35% of base salary if the EBITDA Gate is exceeded and
all the stretch targets are met.
On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPIs (including satisfying
the EBITDA Gate and 100% completion of the mandatory Compliance and Safety training),
the Board in line with their responsibilities, determine the amount (if any) of the STI to be
paid to each Executive, seeking recommendations from the CEO as appropriate. The use of
the EBITDA Gate ensures that the STI payouts are affordable to the business and are
capped at the sum of the individual’s maximum opportunity.
If an Executive ceases employment before the end of the financial year, generally no STI is
awarded for that year subject to overarching Board discretion.
Where a participant ceases employment prior to the deferred portion of their STI award
vesting due to resignation or for cause, the Rights will be forfeited. Where a participant
ceases employment due to a qualifying reason (death, total and permanent disability,

Long Term Incentive
What is the LTI
plan?
Under the LTI plan, annual grants of performance rights (Rights) are made to Executives to align
remuneration with creation of shareholder value over the long-term.
How much can
Executives
earn?
The number of Rights granted is calculated on a Face Value basis. The CEO has a maximum LTI
opportunity of 100% of base salary. Other Executives have a maximum LTI opportunity of 70% of
base salary.
How is
performance
measured?
Executives are not eligible to receive dividends, or dividend equivalent payments on unvested
Rights.
Awards are subject to three measures, weighted as follows:
1) Relative TSR
2) Absolute EPS
3) Strategic Milestones
Weighting
50%
20%
30%
Purpose
To recognise the creation
of shareholder
value relative to
market peers
To recognise
profitable growth
over the long term
To recognise the
achievement of strategic
milestones over the long-
term
The calculation of each performance measure is outlined below:
1) Relative TSR
IMDEX’s TSR is measured relative to a comparator group of ASX-listed companies comprising the
ASX300 Resources Index. These companies were chosen as they are of similar size an d reflect the
Company’s competitors for capital. The TSR for IMDEX and comparator companies is measured
over three financial years (e.g., 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 for the FY22 LTI grant).
Relative TSR measures the percentage change in a company’s share price, plus the value of
dividends received during the period, assuming that all those dividends are reinvested into new
shares.
The proportion of Rights that may vest based on relative TSR performance is determined based on
a ranking approach. The TSR for IMDEX and each company in the comparator group is measured
and the companies are ranked by their TSR performance with vesting based on the following
schedule:
TSR percentile ranking of IMDEX
TSR Portion of LTI that vests
(50%)
Below the 50th percentile
At the 50th percentile
Between the 50th percentile and 75th
percentile
At or above the 75th percentile
Nil vesting
50%
Pro-rata
100%
Note: Notwithstanding the percentile ranking, no vesting will occur for the relative TSR portion
where IMDEX’s TSR for the Performance Period is negative.

Strategic milestones and associated measures relating to IMDEX’s long-term objectives are set by
the Board at the time of the LTI grant. Each strategic milestone is assessed over the three-year
performance period with annual progress reviews undertaken between management and the
Board. Due to the sensitive nature of the initiatives related to the strategic milestones, outcomes
will be provided in the remuneration report following the conclusion of the performance period.
The performance measures are tested at the end of the three-year performance period to
determine the number of Rights that vest. There is no opportunity for re-testing. Rights will lapse
if the performance measures are not met at the end of the performance period.
Where a participant ceases employment prior to their award vesting due to resignation or
termination for cause, all Rights will be forfeited. Where a participant ceases employment due to a
qualifying reason (death, total and permanent disability, retirement, or redundancy), then vesting
will be determined based on the amount of performance period remaining and subject to Board
discretion.
In these circumstances, vesting will be determined at the discretion of the Board.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
6.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Remuneration policy
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and
retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is reviewed
annually against fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable ASX listed companies with similar market
capitalisation of the Company, as well as similar sized industry comparators. The Board considers advice from external
consultants when undertaking the annual review process.
The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the NED fee pool shall be determined from time to
time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2021 AGM when shareholders approved an aggregate
fee pool of $950,000 per annum.
Structure
The remuneration of NEDs consists of Director Fees and Committee Fees. The payment of additional fees for serving as
a Chair on a committee recognises the additional time commitment required by NEDs who serve on sub -committees.
To ensure independence, NEDs do not participate in any incentive schemes.
The table below summarises the NED fee policy for FY22:
Director Fees
Board Chair
Non-Executive Directors
Committee Fees

$220,000
$110,000

the deed of cross guarantee is such that each company which is party to the deed guarantees to each creditor payment in full of
any debt in accordance with the deed of cross guarantee.
In the Directors’ opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company and the companies to which the ASIC Class
Order applies, as detailed in note 5.3 to the financial statements will, as a group, be able to meet any obligations or liabilities to
which they are, or may become, subject by virtue of the deed of cross guarantee.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to s.295(5) of the Corporations Act 2001.
Dated at PERTH, Western Australia, 14 August 2022

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year
are included in the consolidated income statement from the
effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal,
as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not
result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
•
•
•
•
•
•
derecognises the assets

(including goodwill) and
derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling
interest;
recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss, and;

Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources
of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies,
management is required to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Significant
judgements, estimates and assumptions made by
management in the preparation of these financial statements
are outlined in the following notes:
2.3 – Revenue recognition – estimating variable
consideration for volume rebates
4.1 – Recoverability of receivables
4.3 – Recoverability of non-current assets
4.4 – Leases
4.5 – Intangible assets
4.7 – Provisions
4.8 – Deferred consideration

Segment information
The primary means by which the Board views the
business and makes key decisions
is based on
geographical lines.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that
engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and
incur expenses (including revenues and
expenses relating to transactions with other components of
the Group), whose operating results are regularly reviewed
by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to
make decisions about resources to be allocated to the
segment and assess its performance and for which discrete
financial information is available. Management will also
consider other factors in determining operating segments
such as the existence of a regional general manager and the
level of segment information presented to the Board of
Directors.
Information reported to the CODM for the purposes of
resource allocation and assessment of segment performance
focuses on the regions serviced. The Directors of the
Company have chosen to organise the Group around
different geographical markets serviced by the entity’s
products and services.
No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at
the reportable segments of the Group. All segments are in the
business of the manufacture and sale/rental of products and
software

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly
attributable to a segment as well as those that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly
comprise deferred tax assets, treasury cash, net financing
costs for the Group and the corporate portion of head office
costs. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred
during the period to acquire segment assets that are
expected to be used for more than one period.
The following is an analysis of the revenue and results for the
year, analysed by reportable segment.

During the period IMDEX has expanded IMDEX Technology costs to include Software Development. Prior period figures have been
restated. This category includes Engineering and Product Development (EPD) $22.0 million (FY21: $19.1 million), Software Development
$4.2 million (FY21: $1.4 million) together with Product Management costs $7.2 million (FY21: 6.7 million).
Central administration costs comprise the corporate portion of head office costs. Head office costs attributable to operations are
allocated to reportable segments in proportion to the revenues earned from those segments. Prior period figures have been restated to
better align with the definition of central administration costs.
Unallocated items includes the share of loss of an associate, impairment loss net of related fair value adjustment, finance income and
finance costs associated with the Group treasury function. Interest on lease liabilities is considered directly attributable to the segments
and has been included in their segment results.

The Group typically satisfies the obligation associated with the sale of drilling fluids and equipment at a point in time upon shipment or
delivery when control is transferred to customers.
The Group typically satisfies the obligation to provide rental products and services and software subscriptions over time.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised net of allowances for returns and customer claims and
any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. Contract assets and contract
liabilities are not material to the Group’s financial position.
Determining whether products and services and software subscriptions are considered distinct performance obligations that should
be accounted for separately versus together require significant judgement. The Group provides products and services to its
customers based on contracts that may contain several elements but for the vast majority of contracts, these elements represent
only one single performance obligation for which revenue is recognised. Software revenue is presented together with rental
revenue, given the high level of integration between our sensors and software technologies (in particular IMDEX HUB-IQ).
The Group may be entitled to variable consideration in several forms which are determined through its agreements with
customers. The Group can offer prompt payment discounts, sales rebates or other incentive payments to customers. Sales rebates
and other incentive payments are typically awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, including volume. The
Group utilises forecasted sales data and rebate percentages specific to each customer agreement and updates its judgement of the
amount to which the customer is entitled each period, to determine the variable consideration to be received.

At 30 June 2022, an impairment loss net of related fair value adjustment of $2.9 million pre-tax ($2.3 million post tax) has been
recognised in relation to COREVIBE tangible and intangible assets, acquired in the acquisition of Flexidrill (completed January 2020).
This follows completion of COREVIBE laboratory and field trials throughout the period, through which the technology achieved some
benefits, however failed to meet the IMDEX hurdle rates to be a product within our portfolio. As such, the Group has taken the
decision to cease further development of the COREVIBE technology.
The impairment loss net of related fair value adjustment of $2.9 million includes a full write-down of COREVIBE intangible assets of
$12.1 million, COREVIBE inventory of $1.6 million and associated fixed assets of $0.4 million.
Concurrently, during the annual update of the strategic plan, the Company commenced a strategic review of its product and
operations. As a result of this review, the Group has taken the decision to pursue divestment options for the commercialisation of
the MAGHAMMER technology (also acquired in the acquisition of Flexidrill). An updated valuation of MAGHAMMER technology has
been completed during the period, which supports the carrying value of associated intangible assets at 30 June 2022. Refer to Note
4.5 Intangible assets.
The impairment loss net of related fair value adjustment includes a $11.2 million (FY21: $2.9 million) fair value gain in connection
with the re-estimated deferred consideration liability in relation to the acquisition of Flexidrill. Following the decision to cease
development of COREVIBE, as well as the decision to pursue divestment options for the commercialisation of MAGHAMMER, this
deferred consideration has been re-estimated, based upon a percentage payable upon anticipated future divestment. Refer to Note
4.8 Deferred consideration.
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Group finalised a Deed of Termination and Settlement with the prior owners of the
Flexidrill technologies, with final settlement paid in August 2022. This has not resulted in any material change to the deferred
consideration liability recognised at 30 June 2022 (refer to Note 5.9).

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair
value of the consideration received less directly attributable
fees, premiums paid and transaction costs. After initial
recognition,
loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.

The Group is exposed to financial risks through the normal course of its business operations. The key financial risks impacting the
Group relate to its financial instruments as per those disclosed in the statement of financial position. Specifically, those key risks are
considered to be foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Group monitors its exposure to these risks on a regular basis and
may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage these risks where appropriate. There are no derivative financial
instruments in operation at the reporting date.

Foreign currency risk management
Exposure
The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollars.
Certain financial instruments of the Group are exposed to
movements in various currencies. The Group undertakes
certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies,
hence exposures to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arise.
Exchange rate exposures are managed with the use of
natural hedges where possible and with the use of financial
instruments where benefit outweighs cost within approved
policy parameters. During the current and prior year no
instruments were used to manage foreign
derivative
exchange risk.
The carrying amount in Australian dollars of the Group’s
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than Australian dollars at the reporting date are as per
the table below. Non-Australian dollar liabilities include trade
creditors and borrowings recorded in Australian as well as
non-Australian entities. Non-Australian dollar assets
include cash on hand and debtors recorded in Australian as
well as non-Australian entities. Any fluctuation in exchange
rates relative to the Australian dollar will cause the below
assets and liabilities to change in value.

Credit risk management
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying
amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of
financial position. Credit risk on financial instruments refers
to the potential financial loss to the Group that may result
from counterparties failing to meet their contractual
obligations. The Group manages its counterparty risk by
limiting its transactions to counterparties of sound credit
worthiness. The Group faced no significant credit exposures
at the balance date.
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests
with the Board of Directors, who monitors short, medium and
long term liquidity requirements through the use of financial
models. The treasury function reports regularly to key
management personnel and the Board on matters affecting
liquidity risk. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing
facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash
flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities. At 30 June 2022 the Company/Group has
undrawn facilities of $16.6 million.
Maturity of financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Company’s and the Group’s
remaining contractual maturity
its non–derivative
financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on
the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on
the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.
The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Commitments for Expenditure
Recognition and measurement
Capital expenditure commitments
At 30 June 2022 the Group had $2.5 million capital
commitments (2021: $8.8 million).
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade
date, which includes transaction costs, when the related
contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial
recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the
financial assets and is determined at the time of initial
recognition. All regular purchases or sales of financial assets
are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis, where
the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract
whose terms require delivery of the investment within the
timeframe established by the market concerned.
Fair value of financial Instruments
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial
assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements
represents or approximate their respective fair values.

The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) calculation for trade receivables considers both quantitative information from historic losses as well
as qualitative information on different debtor profiles. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various
customer segments that have similar loss patterns. The assessment of the correlation between historical loss rates, forecast economic
conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may
also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer
base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the
loss allowance above.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable
overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with
the majority being valued on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated
costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventory includes a provision for slow moving and obsolete stock of $3.2 million (2021: $2.2 million). In addition, a provision for
impairment of $1.6 million was recognised in relation to COREVIBE inventory (2021: nil). Refer to Note 2.6 for further details.

Includes external acquisitions and direct cost associated with internally manufactured plant and equipment.

(i)
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation
Plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost
includes expenditure that
is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part
of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by
discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present
value as at the date of acquisition.
The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of
property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to
write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life
to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the estimated useful life, using the straight-line
method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are
reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the
effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. The
annual depreciation rate for plant and equipment is 33% and the
annual depreciation range for leasehold improvement is 10 –
33%. Depreciation of capital works in progress, on the same
basis as other property, plant and equipment assets, commences
when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Capital works in progress
Impairment
Capital works in progress in the course of construction for
production or supply purposes, or for purposes not yet
determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment
loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets,
borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy.
During the current period, an impairment expense of $0.4
million was made in relation to COREVIBE Property, plant and
equipment (2021: nil). Refer to Note 2.6 for further details.

the
commencement date of the lease, initially measured at the
present value of the future lease payments, with the right-of-
use asset adjusted by the amount of any lease payments pre-
commencement date plus any make good obligations. The
Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by
making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-
use asset.
The Right-of-Use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the
asset’s useful life and the term of the lease, on a straight-line
basis. The useful life is within the range from 1-20 years.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises
and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease
payments that are unpaid at that date.
The lease payments include:
•
•
•
•
Fixed payments, offset by any lease incentives
receivable;
Variable lease payments linked to an index or rate;
Exercise price of a purchase option (where the Group
is reasonably certain to exercise that option); and
Payment of penalties for terminating the lease (where
the life of the lease has assumed termination).
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and
leases of low-value assets (which includes tablets and
personal computers, small items of office furniture and
telephones), the Group has opted to recognise a lease
expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16. This
expense is presented within ‘other expenses’ in profit or loss
(30 June 2022: $1.4 million, June 2021: $0.7 million).
Key Estimates and Judgements
(a) Control
Judgement is required to assess whether a contract is or
contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the Group
has the right to direct the use of the identified asset and
obtain substantially all the economic benefits of the use of
that asset.
(b) Lease term
Judgement is required when assessing the term of the lease
and whether to include optional extension and termination
periods. Option periods are only included in determining the
lease term at inception when they are reasonably certain to
be exercised. Lease terms are reassessed when a significant
change in circumstances occurs.
The Group included the renewal period as part of the lease
term for the lease of the corporate head office and the lease
of the Western Australian manufacturing and distribution
facility, as both properties were purpose built for the Group
and the extensions of these leases is reasonably certain.
Renewal options for motor vehicles are not included as part
of the lease term because the Group typically leases vehicles
for not more than five years and is not likely to exercise any
renewal options.
(c) Discount rates
Judgement is required to determine the discount rate, where
the discount rate is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate if
the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.
The incremental borrowing rate is determined with reference
to the Group’s borrowing portfolio at the inception of the
arrangement or the time of the modification. Refer to Note
3.2 Borrowings for the effective interest rate during the year.

Intangible assets (continued)
Impairment testing of assets
Intellectual property and other intangibles
Intellectual property and other intangibles with finite useful
life were acquired in the Flexidrill acquisition (completed
January 2020) and AusSpec Acquisition (see note 5.2).
These intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life (up to 10 years). Amortising
intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is
an indication that the asset may be impaired. Refer to Note
2.6 for details.
Intellectual property and other intangibles not yet available
in the MinePortal acquisition
for use were acquired
(completed September 2021).
These assets are not
amortised until they are in the manner intended for use by
management. They are tested annually for impairment as
well as if there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
No impairment was required during 2022.
Software
The Group capitalises development expenditure for
internally generated software. Development expenditure is
capitalised only if it can be measured reliably, the project or
process is technically and commercially feasible, future
economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to
and has sufficient resources to complete development and
to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit
or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition,
development expenditure is measured at cost less
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment
losses. Software assets with a finite life are amortised on a
straight-line basis over their expected useful life to the
Group, being up to 5 years. Expenditure on capitalised
software is capitalised only when it increases the future
economic of the specific asset to which it relates and which
the Group controls. All other expenditure is expensed as
incurred.
SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the
Group with the right to access the cloud provider’s
application software over the contract period. Costs
incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to
obtain access to the cloud provider's application software,
are recognised as operating expenses when the services are
received.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Management reviews the appropriateness of useful lives of
assets at least annually, any changes to useful lives may affect
prospective amortisation rates and asset carry values.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an
asset at the date that control is acquired. Where the fair value
of the consideration paid for a business acquisition exceeds
the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, the difference is treated as goodwill.
Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at least
annually.
IMDEX assesses impairment at the Operating Segment level
for Goodwill. Goodwill exists in relation to three Segments:
Asia Pacific, Africa / Europe and Americas.
IMDEX assesses impairment at the Cash Generating Unit
(CGU) level for fixed assets and other intangible assets. A CGU
is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or groups of assets. CGUs identified are at a
lower level than each Operating Segment (based on regional
hubs).
The Group has five CGUs: Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa North
America and South America
The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its CGU’s at each
reporting period, to determine whether there
is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of the asset’s
recoverable amount is calculated.
Recoverable amount is the higher of Fair Value Less Costs to
Sell and Value in Use. In assessing Value in Use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have
not been adjusted.
If the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset or CGU is written down and an impairment
loss is recognised in the income statement. Where an
impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount
of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its
recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The determination of
involves the use of
impairment
judgements and estimates that include, but are not limited
to, the cause, timing and measurement of the impairment.
Goodwill is tested at least annually and where there is an
indicator of impairment through testing of the Operating
Segments (groups of CGU’s) to which the goodwill has been
allocated.
Fixed assets and other intangible assets are grouped into
CGUs that have been identified as being the smallest
identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows, which
are independent of cash flows of other assets or groups of
assets. The determination of these CGUs is based on
management’s judgement in regard to shared infrastructure,
geographical proximity, and similar exposures to market risk
and materiality.

Intangible assets (continued)
Value in Use assessments and sensitivities:
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
(continued)
Determining whether goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets
are impaired requires an estimation of the “Value in Use” of
the Operating Segment or CGU to which these assets are
attributable. The Value in Use calculation requires the entity
to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the
Operating Segment or CGU and a suitable discount rate to
calculate present value. A forward-looking estimation of this
nature is inherently uncertain.
Management is required to make significant judgements
concerning the identification of impairment indicators, such
as changes in competitive positions, expectations of growth,
increased cost of capital, and other factors that may indicate
impairment. In addition, management is also required to
make significant estimates regarding future cash flows and
the determination of fair values when assessing the
recoverable amount of assets (or group of assets). Inputs into
these valuations require assumptions and estimates to be
made about forecast earnings before interest and tax and
related future cash flows, growth rates, applicable discount
rates, useful live and residual values.
IMDEX’s forecasted results reflect the activity levels within
the minerals industry. The judgements, estimates and
assumptions used in assessing impairment are management’s
best estimates based on current and forecast market
conditions. Changes in economic and operating conditions
impacting these assumptions could result in changes in the
recognition of impairment charges in future periods.
Management has considered a range of external, internal and
other indicators that may indicate some level of impairment
at the individual asset level. These include evidence of
obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, and evidence
available from internal reporting that indicates that the
economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than
expected.
Refer to note 2.6 for details of the impairment loss recognised
during the period in relation to intellectual property acquired
in the acquisition of Flexidrill (completed in January 2020),
specifically in relation to the COREVIBE Technology.
At 30 June 2022, the Group held intangible assets of $8.1
million in relation to the MAGHAMMER Technology, also
acquired in the acquisition of Flexidrill. During the annual
update of the strategic plan, IMDEX commenced a strategic
review of its product and operations. As a result of this
review, the Group has taken the decision to pursue
divestment options for the commercialisation of the
MAGHAMMER technology. An updated valuation for the
MAGHAMMER technology has been completed during the
period (including an updated valuation supported by an
Independent Technical Review on key assumptions), which
supports the carrying value of associated intangible assets at
30 June 2022.
Other than the matter above in relation to the MAGHAMMER
Technology, these assessments did not identify any indicators
of impairment for any of the CGUs.
Inputs to impairment calculations
For Value in Use calculations, cash flow projections are based
on IMDEX’s corporate plans and business forecasts prepared
by management and approved by the Board for the 2023
financial year.
The key assumptions impacting the discounted cashflow
models used to determine the Value in Use for each CGU
were as follows:
• Revenue growth has been based on a range of growth
rates. Initial rates are based on the FY23 Budget approved
by the Board of Directors;
• Subsequent growth rates are within the range included in
the Corporate Valuation Model up to the terminal (5
years) period;
• Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated
using an estimated growth rate of 2.5%, which is based on
Group estimates, taking into consideration historical
performance as well as expected long-term operating
conditions to arrive at a terminal value. Growth rates do
not exceed the consensus forecasts of the long-term
average growth rate for the industry in which the CGU
operates.
• Capital investment for the 2022 financial year is based on
the forecasted numbers approved by the Board of
Directors. Going forward to terminal date, capital
investment gradually increases each year so that it equals
the replacement cost of assets, excluding growth capital
investment by terminal date;
• Tax rates used were Group’s effective tax rate; and
• Post-tax discount rates used were country risk adjusted
and based on data supplied by external sources and
ranged from 9.8%-13.2%.
Other assumptions are determined with reference to internal
and external sources of information.
in discount rates or changes
Increases
in other key
assumptions, such as operating conditions or financial
performance, may cause the recoverable amounts to fall
below carrying values. Management have considered various
reasonably possible sensitivities
in Use
assessment, with changes to the following key assumptions:
in the Value
•
•
•
Increase/decrease of 1% to the terminal growth rate.
Increase/decrease of 1-2% to the discount rate.
Increase/decrease of 5% in operating margins.
The above sensitivities have been performed in isolation, with
all other assumptions in the Value in Use assessment held
constant. No reasonably possible change made to these key
assumptions has given rise to an impairment. However,
forward looking estimation of this nature is inherently
uncertain and the outcomes of these sensitivities may vary in
the future.
Impairment losses recognised by cash generating unit:
There have been no impairment losses for any CGU in the
current or prior year.

Non-current provisions
Employee entitlements
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event,
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of
the consideration required to settle the present obligation at
reporting date, taking into account the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision
is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the
present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value
of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle
a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,
the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain
that recovery will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee entitlements
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in

settlement will be required and they are capable of being
measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to
be settled within short term, are measured at their nominal
values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the
time of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are
not expected to be settled within short term are measured as
the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be
made by the Group in respect of services provided by
employees up to reporting date.
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields
at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with
terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Termination benefit
A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier
of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the
termination benefit and when the entity recognises any
related restructuring costs.

Fair Value of Deferred Consideration - Flexidrill acquisition
A deferred consideration liability of $1.4 million (30 June
2021: $12.2 million) was recognised in respect of the
acquisition of the Flexidrill technologies (completed
in
January 2020). The fair value of the deferred consideration at
30 June 2022 is based upon a percentage payable to the
previous owners of the MAGHAMMER technology, upon the
anticipated
future divestment of MAGHAMMER. This
estimate has been based upon the updated valuation for
MAGHAMMER completed during the current period. In the
prior year, the deferred consideration liability was based
upon the estimated fair value of revenue-based instalments
associated with the Flexidrill technologies (COREVIBE and
MAGHAMMER).
The valuation requires management to make certain
assumptions about the forecast cash flows. The probabilities
of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably
assessed and are used in management’s estimate of fair value
of the deferred consideration.

The estimated fair value of the deferred consideration at 30
June 2022 resulted in recognition of a fair value gain of $11.2
million as part of net impairment loss in the profit and loss for
the period.
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Group
finalised a Deed of Termination and Settlement with the prior
owners of the Flexidrill technologies, with final settlement
paid in August 2022. This has not resulted in any material
change to the deferred consideration liability recognised at

Investment in an associate
The Group acquired a 30% interest in Datarock Holdings Pty Ltd (“Datarock”) on 23 November 2021 for $5.7 million cash. Datarock
is an Australian-based mining technology company servicing the global exploration and mining sector. Datarock’s product suite,
both existing and planned, complements IMDEX’s software offering and strengthens the Group’s cloud-based platform (IMDEX
HUB-IQTM) to deliver real-time rock knowledge answer products. IMDEX has exclusive options to acquire the remaining interest in
Datarock over the next four years in a two-tranche process, subject to Datarock achieving agreed strategic milestones.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the
financial operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. The Group’s interest in
Datarock is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is
adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. The statement of profit
or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. The Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate is
shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss.
The following table illustrates the summarised financial information of the Group’s investment in Datarock:

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its
investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment
in the associate is impaired. There has been no impairment loss in the current year.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. The associate had no material
contingent liabilities or capital commitments as at 30 June 2022.

Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the
period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
income statement because of items of income or expense
that are taxable or deductible in other periods and items that
are never taxable or deductible. The Company and the
Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax
is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in
the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial
recognition (other than in a business combination) of other
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the
taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
except where the Company and the Group is able to control
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable
from
deductible temporary differences associated with such
investments and interests are only recognised to the extent
that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable

future. Deferred tax assets arising
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the
end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the end of the reporting period. The measurement of

tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority and the Company and
the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or
income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that
are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case
the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss, or where they
arise from the initial accounting for a business combination.
In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is
included in the accounting for the business combination.
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident
entities are an income tax consolidated group and are taxed
as a single entity. IMDEX Limited is the head company of the
Australian tax consolidated group.
Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax
assets arising from temporary differences in the members of
the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate
financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated
group using the ‘separate taxpayer within Group’ approach
by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial
statements of each entity and the tax values applying under
tax consolidation.

Taxation (continued)
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group (continued)
Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets
arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the
members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the
Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between
the entities in the tax-consolidated Group, amounts are
recognised as payable to or receivable by the Company and
each member of the Group in relation to tax amounts paid or
payable between the parent entity and the other members of
the tax consolidated Group
in accordance with the
arrangement.
A net deferred tax asset of $27.6 million has been recognised
on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position. The largest components of this asset are the future
tax benefits available to the Group in respect of unused tax
losses and temporary differences between the recording of
expenses for accounting purposes and the claiming of a
deduction for the expense for taxation purposes. These tax
benefits will be realised over the coming years when future
taxable profits are available against which the unused tax
losses can be utilised and as temporary differences move.
This net asset has been raised as it is considered more likely
than not that it will be realised due to trading and/or sale of
assets. In making this assessment of likelihood, a forward-
looking estimation of tax payments and the likelihood of
business success needs to be made. A forward-looking
estimation of this nature is inherently uncertain.
As part of the process for preparing the Group’s financial
statements, management is required to calculate income tax
accruals. This process involves estimating the current tax
exposures together with assessing temporary differences
resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and
accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax
assets and liabilities, which are included in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.
While the Group aims to ensure the accruals for its tax
liabilities are accurate, the process of agreeing tax liabilities
with the relevant tax authorities can take time. Management
estimate is therefore required in determining the provision
for income tax and the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities and therefore the actual tax liabilities could differ
from the amounts accrued.

Acquisition of assets/subsidiaries
On 17 September 2021, the Group finalised an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) to acquire the MinePortal software from
Californian-based DataCloud International Inc (“DataCloud”). MinePortal is a new-generation native cloud application that enables
geological data modelling and real-time 3D visualisation. MinePortal will integrate with IMDEX HUB-IQTM to deliver a connected
real-time orebody knowledge ecosystem and accelerate IMDEX’s product development roadmap. The initial release of MinePortal
will support the delivery of the IMT vision, specifically with the 3D visualisation of data collected by the Blast Dog System.
The total purchase consideration comprises a combination of cash and equity. The Group has paid $8.0 million in cash in September
2021. The balance of the transaction is payable by the issue of IMDEX shares over a three-year period, with an option to settle the
payment by equivalent cash value based on the prevailing share price at the date of each anniversary (at IMDEX’s discretion), as set
out below:
•
•
•
The issue of 1,578,117 million of IMDEX Limited ordinary shares upon the first anniversary of completion (“Tranche 1”);
The issue of 1,578,117 million of IMDEX Limited ordinary shares upon the second anniversary of completion (“Tranche 2”);
The issue of 2,104,156 million of IMDEX Limited ordinary shares upon the third anniversary of completion (“Tranche 3”).
The Tranche 3 is applicable if revenue from the DataCloud assets achieves the target agreed between the parties by the
third anniversary of completion. If this revenue target is not achieved any shares will be issued in Tranche 3.
This transaction is considered as an asset acquisition, not a business combination under “AASB 3 Business Combinations”.
The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are set out in the table below.

The fair value of the MinePortal intellectual property of $16.2 million is the residual value of the total purchase
consideration.
The fair value of the ordinary shares to be issued as part of the consideration paid for MinePortal ($7.6 million) was determined at
the share price of IMDEX Limited securities at the acquisition date. For Tranche 3, the fair value is modified based on the probability
that the target will be achieved.

Acquisition of assets/subsidiaries (continued)
On 22 July 2020, the Group acquired 100 per cent of the issued share capital of AusSpec International Limited (“AusSpec”),
incorporated in New Zealand and operating out of premises located in New Zealand. AusSpec is a leading provider of spectral
mineralogy through its unique aiSIRIS platform – Artificial Intelligence (AI) Spectral InfraRed Interpretation System. The AusSpec
acquisition enhances IMDEX’s rock knowledge offering with spectral mineralogy and AI technologies.
The agreed acquisition price was $8.5 million. The Group paid $1.0 million in cash and issued IMDEX Limited ordinary shares to the
value of $5.0 million on the settlement date. The balance of the agreed acquisition price will be settled through:
•
•
The payment of $1.0 million cash in July 2021 on the achievement of certain new revenue-generating contracts;
The payment of $1.0 million cash and the issue of $0.5 million of IMDEX Limited ordinary shares in July 2022 on the
achievement of certain new revenue-generating contracts.

The balance of deferred consideration liability in relation to the acquisition of AusSpec is $1.5 million (FY21: $2.5 million).
Subsequent to year end, on 1 July 2022, a payment of $1.5 million in cash pursuant to a revised agreement was made on the
achievement of certain new revenue-generating contracts (previously $1.0 million in cash and $0.5 million IMDEX shares).
Included in the Group result for prior year was a loss after tax of $0.1 million in relation to AusSpec. Revenue for prior year
included $0.8 million in respect of AusSpec. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2020, the Group’s financial performance for the
prior period would not be significantly different.

The individual financial statements of each group entity are
presented
in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (its functional
currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial
statements, the results and financial position of each entity
are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional
currency of IMDEX, and the presentation currency for the
consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual
entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the
rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.
At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at
the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair
value that are denominated
in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair
value was determined. Non-monetary
items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which they arise except for exchange differences
on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign
operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to
occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign
operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency
translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on
disposal of the net investment.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s
foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at
exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income
and expense items are translated at the average exchange
rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated
significantly during that period, in which case the exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions are used.
Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity
and transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such
exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which the foreign operation is disposed.
fair value adjustments arising on the
Goodwill and
acquisition of a foreign entity on or after the date of
transition to A-IFRS are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign entity and translated at exchange rates prevailing at
the reporting date. Goodwill arising on acquisitions before
the date of transition to A-IFRS is treated as an Australian
dollar denominated asset.
Equity-settled performance rights with employees and
others providing similar services are measured at the fair
value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value
is measured by the use of the Black-Scholes Model, Binomial
Tree Method or Monte-Carlo Simulation as appropriate. The
expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based
on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-
transferability, exercise
restrictions, and behavioural
considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the
performance right is expensed over the vesting period, based
on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the
number of performance rights expected to vest. The impact
of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised
in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a
corresponding adjustment to the employee equity-settled
benefits reserve.
Performance Rights Plan
At the Imdex Limited Annual General Meeting on 15 October
2009 the Shareholders approved the formation of a
Performance Rights Plan (PRP or Plan) and subsequently
renewed at the Annual General Meeting on 18 October 2012,
20 November 2015, 4 October 2018 and 7 October 2021. The
Plan allows for the issue of performance rights to employees
from time to time. The quantum of performance rights
granted to employees is at the discretion of the Directors and
is generally based on seniority and level of contribution to the
strategic goals of IMDEX. A performance right is the right to
receive one fully paid
IMDEX ordinary share for nil
consideration should set hurdles be achieved and tenure of
employment be maintained. The hurdles are set by the
Directors when performance rights are issued and are
generally linked to the achievement of financial or other
strategic goals of IMDEX.

Measures) is at 50% and above. At 50%, the allocation will be 50% of the total entitlement. This entitlement increases on a linear scale and achieves
100% entitlement when the Company’s performance is at the 75th percentile.
The number of Relative TSR Rights and EPS Rights that vest is based on the Relative TSR performance against a peer group consisting of the ASX300
Resources Index and against absolute EPS performance over the 3-year measurement period. The Strategic Rights vest subject to growth in new
businesses from transformational (non-core) revenue linked to the transformational (non-core) component of the research and development
budget. Performance relating to the Strategic Rights is assessed by the Board of Imdex at the end of the performance period.
Note 2.
The CEO Rights vest subject to the continued service of the holder over three years from the date of issue of the CEO Rights.
Note 3.
3,640,787 performance rights were issued to employees in July 2020 (3,407,658 in July 2019) (50% based on Relative TSR and 50% based on
Relative EPS). Upon successful achievement of the hurdles, allotment of these performance rights will be in September 2023 (Tranche 21
September 2022) once the financial year independent audit report is signed.
Note 4.
381,760 performance rights were granted to the former Managing Director on 21 October 2019 following approval by the shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting (50% based on Relative TSR and 50% based on Relative EPS). The former Managing Director forfeited 254,158 performance
rights on his retirement on 1 July 2020. Upon successful achievement of the hurdles, the remaining 127,602 performance rights will vest and
convert to fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (once the 2022 financial year independent audit report is signed).
Note 5.
The Company provides an option for the employees to defer the STI payments with additional performance rights (STI Rights) based on employee’s
elections by 30 April 2022. The STI Rights will be vested over a 12-month vesting period subject to continued employment with the Company, from
1 July 2022. The number of STI Rights is calculated based on a 5-day VWAP of the Company’s shares up to 30 June.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Share-based payments recorded for the performance rights are subject to estimation as they are calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing, Binomial Tree Method or Monte-Carlo Simulation model, as appropriate, which is based on significant assumptions
such as volatility, dividend yield, expected term and forfeiture rate.

Contingent assets & liabilities
The Group is party to legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the normal course of business. Any liabilities may be
mitigated by legal defences, insurance, and third-party
indemnities. Unless recognised as a provision (refer Note 4.7),
management do not consider it to be probable that they will
require settlement at the Group’s expense.
(i)
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from
past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non- occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of the Group or a present
obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare
cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably.
Subsequent to 30 June 2022, a Federal Court judgement was
delivered on the 12th July 2022 relating to a case whereby
the Group was seeking to invalidate a Globaltech
Corporation Pty Ltd patent. The Group was unsuccessful in
its petition to the court, with the patent being upheld. The
initial decision has granted costs be payable to Globaltech
Corporation Pty Ltd. The parties are yet to agree on the
quantum of costs and if this cannot be agreed, costs will
need to be determined by the Registrar of the Court. The
Group is seeking to stay the outcome of this judgment
subject to appeal, which is not expected to be determined
until the end of 2022 or early 2023 (depending on court
availability). In the event the appeal is successful, the costs
decision would likely be overturned.
The Group has also sought to reserve its rights to apply to
set off its costs against payment due by Globaltech
Corporation Pty Ltd in a separate Federal Court proceeding
(NSD1089/2016), a matter in which the Group have had a
judgment in their favour where Globaltech has been found
to be infringing the Group patent and the parties are
progressing to a hearing on damages.
Whilst the outcome of these legal proceedings are, by their
nature, uncertain, the Directors do not currently anticipate
that the outcome of the proceedings either individually or in
aggregate will have a material adverse effect on upon the
Group’s financial position.
An estimated of the financial effect of this matter has not
been provided because it is not practicable to do so.
(ii)
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non- occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
beyond the control of the Group. The Group does not
recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where
inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually
certain.
A subsidiary of the Group (Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd
or “AMC”) is currently a party to litigation in relation to
infringement of patents by a third party. The courts have
found in favour of AMC on the matter, and the company is
awaiting an outcome on the quantum of the financial
settlement.
An estimated of the financial effect of this matter has not
been provided because it is not practicable to do so.

Subsequent events
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Group finalised a Deed of Termination and Settlement with the prior owners of the
Flexidrill technologies, with final settlement paid in August 2022. This has not resulted in any material change to the deferred
consideration liability recognised at 30 June 2022 (refer to Note 4.8).
Other than the above, there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the result of these operations, or the state of affairs
of the Group in future financial years.

Opinion
We have audited the financial report of IMDEX Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
statement of comprehensive income the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i)
(ii)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We
are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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 for 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.

Included in the Group’s consolidated statement of
financial position at 30 June 2022 are goodwill,
intangible assets, right of use lease assets and property,
plant and equipment totalling $181.5 million.
• Obtaining management’s impairment assessment
carried out for CGU’s, and groups of CGU’s to
which goodwill is allocated, and assessing the work
performed against the requirements of the
relevant accounting standard, including:
Management undertakes impairment testing to test
the recoverability of goodwill annually. Additionally, an
assessment is made as to whether any non-current
assets, including those not yet available for use, or cash
generating units (‘CGU’s) may be impaired at balance
date.
Management did not identify any impairment triggers
except for COREVIBE tangible and intangible assets
following the decision to cease further development of
the COREVIBE technology.
The assessment requires significant judgement due
to the assumptions and estimates involved in preparing
a value in use (‘VIU’) model to estimate the recoverable
amount of CGU’s, and other non-current assets subject
to assessment, including:
•
•
forecast future cash flows; and
discount rates.
-
-
performing our own assessment at the
CGU level by confirming, in conjunction
with our valuations specialists, that the
implied EBITDA multiple for each CGU
exceeded an acceptable market-based
EBITDA multiple at balance date;
assessing budgets and forecasts for
reasonableness by reference to our
knowledge of the business, review of
board minutes and external factors
known in the market;
• Obtaining management’s assessment of non-
current assets, including those not yet available for
use (for example Capital Works in Progress), and
considered the trigger assessment performed, in
conjunction with our valuation specialists;
At 30 June 2022, impairment write-downs have been
recognised in respect of the COREVIBE intangible asset
($12.1 million), COREVIBE inventory ($1.6 million) and
associated fixed assets ($0.4 million) which relate to
the Flexidrill acquisition.
•
Assessing the impairment recognised in respect of
COREVIBE and the reasonableness of
management’s assumptions by reference to the
non-achievement of the required IMDEX
engineering performance hurdles;
•
Considering the adequacy of the related disclosure
in notes 2.6 and 4.8.
The $2.9 million impairment loss, net of related fair
value movement, recognised in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income is presented
net of the $11.2 million fair value gain on
the remeasurement of the Deferred Consideration
liability which also relates to the Flexidrill acquisition.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s
report thereon
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
129
IMDEX Annual Report 2022
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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
involve collusion, forgery,
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
130
IMDEX Annual Report 2022
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in

looking words such as, ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘likely’, ‘intend’, ‘should’,
‘could’, ‘may’, ‘predict’, ‘plan’, ‘propose’, ‘will’, ‘believe’, ‘forecast’,
‘estimate’, ‘target’ ‘outlook’, ‘guidance’ and other similar expressions
within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. These
forward looking statements reflect various assumptions made by or

forward looking statements. The statements, opinions and estimates
in this report are based on assumptions and contingencies subject to
change without notice, as are statements about market and industry
trends, projections, guidance, and estimates. The forward looking
statements contained in this report are not guarantees or predictions

and cost estimates, environmental risks, ability to meet funding
requirements and share price volatility. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that such statements and projections will be realised.

achievements or performance to differ materially from the forward
looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties set out above.
Investors should consider the forward looking statements contained in
this report in light of those matters. the forward looking statements are
based on information available to IMDEX as at the date of this report.
Except as required by law or regulation (including the ASX listing rules),

information whether as a result of new information, future events, or
results or otherwise. indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future
