About Us
LaserBond is a specialist surface engineering company founded in
1992 that focuses on the development and application of materials,
technologies and methodologies to increase operating performance and
wear life of capital-intensive machinery components.
Within these industries, the wear of components can have a profound
effect on the productivity and total cost of ownership of their capital
equipment. As almost all components fail at the surface, due to material
removal through abrasion, erosion, corrosion, cavitation, heat and impact,
and any combinations of these wear mechanisms, a tailored surface
metallurgy will extend its life and enhance its performance.
LaserBond recognises that its technology has applications across many
industries as more sectors accept that surface engineering technologies
can deliver significant cost effective improvements in productivity and/or
lower total cost of ownership; mostly in resources and energy, agriculture,
advanced manufacturing, defence and infrastructure construction.
Our growth has been built on the pursuit of innovation and technology
leadership in three surface engineering foundations;
›› The tribology of wear and performance in heavy industrial
components.
›› Metallurgy and science of high performance materials.
›› Optimising a wide range of materials and application methodologies.
This is supported by marketing and sales focus that seeks opportunities
offering productivity and sustainable gains;
›› Identifying components, equipment or applications that benefit from
our technologies.
›› Customer partners with established needs and markets.
Our customers are typically internationally recognised Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and capital-intensive heavy industries
that endure high costs whenever their equipment is out of production
for maintenance. These customers recognise LaserBond’s focus on WH&S,
quality assurance, and the environment which is delivered through our
certified PAS99 integrated management system.
Other very important areas our customers benefit by utilising our services
is in WHS, and the positive contribution to the environment.
WHS benefits are often realised because the maintenance of equipment
and replacement of worn parts is often carried out in potentially
hazardous environments (e.g. on mine sites) and/or involves handling of
difficult and heavy components. Many of our customers recognise that
by reducing the frequency of required maintenance, the utilisation of
LaserBond’s services significantly lowers the risk of injury to personnel.
Environmental benefits arise from LaserBond’s
ability to remanufacture and provide
performance improvements to machine parts
that would have typically been scrapped and
replaced with new parts. The typical carbon
footprint for a LaserBond remanufactured part
is less than 1% of a new part, and with life
improvements of between 2 to 20 times of a
standard part, a carbon footprint of much less
than 1% is achieved.
LaserBond operates from facilities in New
South Wales and South Australia.

Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 5
Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 Our R&D Division continues its collaborative
work with its partners; the University of SA
and Boart Longyear on the development
& commercialisation of high wear life
components in drilling for mining via the
Wear Life Performance (CRCp project). In
addition LaserBond is participating as a core
industry partner with the ARC funded Surface
Engineering for Advanced Materials (SEAM)
training centre, in conjunction with Swinburne
University, University of SA and RMIT as well as
other industry partners.
Both the Services and Production Divisions are
benefiting from the buoyant mining sector.
As the mining sector continues to be a major
source of work for both divisions an increased
level of activity directly impacts our revenue.
We expect to see many customers seeking our
services as they both ramp up production and
play catch up on their maintenance programs.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
As reported in the half yearly results our Services & Products Divisions
continued to increase revenue in-line with the company’s forecast.
On behalf of the Board I am pleased to present the Annual Financial
Report to 30th June 2018. Given the amount of investment over
the course of the year growing our resources and workforce, we are
extremely pleased that we were able to deliver a solid performance for
the year.

All three Divisions this fiscal year are forecast to increase revenue. As at
the date of this report we are pleased to report that our FY2019 forecasts
are on track.
Our Technology Division, having sold its second technology license
in August 2018, is actively working through its production process to
achieve delivery and revenue recognition in FY19. This is particularly
pleasing result for two reasons; the licensee is a major multi-billion dollar
global engineering company that has recognised LaserBond is a world
leader in this field; and it provides further support to demonstrate that
one aspect of the company’s current strategy for international expansion
of its technology is working. The license will deliver ongoing revenue
and profit for the license term of 7 years, and will likely lead to further
Technology Division sales to the licensee in the future.
Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 Chairman’s Letter
7
The outlook for Laserbond in 2018/19 and beyond is very positive with
several key strategic actions and expectations:
›› Ongoing organic growth of our Products & Services Divisions at levels
similar to those achieved in FY18 but with an expected return to the
higher historical gross profits and EBITDA percentages.
›› Growth in the Technology Division as we leverage recent successes.
›› Appointment of an International Sales BDM to expand our market
place by taking our successful proprietary products to much larger
markets.
›› Expansion through acquisition – several targets identified that will add
immediate accretive value if negotiations are successful.
›› Grow our senior management/executives.
The Board also recognises the need to be continually developing a skilled
work force and are committed to bring on new apprentices, trainees
and graduates that we can train for future management, operations and
application of our technology.
Given the increased opportunities that we have
been developing, the positive growth outlook
for the coming years and taking into account
performance achieved, the Board has decided
to increase its full year dividends to a total of
0.6 cps for FY18.
Success is delivered by a skilled and dedicated
team and the board would like to take this
opportunity in thanking our staff, management
and executives for creating an environment that
has fostered this success. We thank all those
who support the vision and our Board.
Yours sincerely
Philip Suriano
Chairman

Directors’ Report
The Directors present their report together with the financial
statements of LaserBond Limited for the financial year ended
30th June 2018.
Principal Activity
LaserBond is a specialist surface engineering company founded in
1992 that focuses on the development and application of materials,
technologies and methodologies to increase operating performance
and wear life of capital-intensive machinery components.
LaserBond operates from facilities in New South Wales and South
Australia.
Review of Operations & Financial Results
The 2018 fiscal year has been a year of investment in order to deliver
on planned growth, focused on:
1. Increasing skill and capabilities, through recruitment and training.
2. Increasing capacity and capabilities, through investment in plant
and equipment at both facilities.
3. Continued growth, through our on-going research and
development activities.
SKILL AND CAPABILITIES
As at 30 June 2018 our workforce has increased to seventy
employees, a 40% increase in human resources during the financial
year. After the initial temporary impact from recruitment costs and
training (prior to a shop floor employee generating revenue) and
overtime (long term shop floor employees rising to the challenge
from the revenue growth and the timing of initial recruitment and
training activities) our gross profits increased from 45% in the first
half of the financial year to 48% in the second half (before inventory
impairment).
This investment in people will continue throughout the 2019
financial year, with the intent to have a more fully manned afternoon
shift at our New South Wales facility both increasing capacity and
Hands on training of our apprentices is crucial for our future growth.

Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 10
Laserbond’s new large capacity cylindrical grinder – 5 metres between centres, 1.25 metre swing, 5.5 tonne capacity.
CAPACITY AND CAPABILITIES
Both facilities have invested in equipment to increase capacity and
capabilities. Some of the major equipment investment includes:
1. Additional large capacity cylindrical grinding machines.
2. Additional large cylindrical lathes increasing our capacity.
3. High Velocity Air Fuel (HVAF) thermal spray system increasing
capacity and capability and providing higher energy efficiencies,
lower temperatures and reduced particle sizes.
4. Large capacity horizontal borer expected to be commissioned in
South Australia in September 2018.
5. Continued development of the automated laser cladding system,
planned through the Next Generation Manufacturing Improvement
program, expecting full commissioning by April 2019, however
this investment is progressive and over the last few months is
now providing significant operational improvements in our South
Australian facility, thus increasing recent production output.

2) - New Laserbond Deposition Technology shows the
metallugical bond without dilution effects and higher
concentration.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Our R&D efforts continue to improve upon our deposition
methodologies and materials.
Dramatic improvements in production cycles are being realised with
our new 16kW Laser.
We have had very successful trials over the last 18 months of a new
LaserBond® product for the Steel Industry. A life improvement of
greater than 15 times is being realised by our Australian customer
when using the Laserbond® product. This consumable product
is applicable in Steel Mills worldwide, and we are now in supply
discussions with a major international steel producer in the US.
Our collaborative work with the University of South Australia and
Boart Longyear through the CRC-P is continuing with a number of
applications having commercial possibilities.
Additionally, and as announced our R&D department has secured
an Industrial Partner position within the Australian Research
Council funded Training Centre in “Surface Engineering for
Advanced Materials (SEAM)”, and are looking forward to working
collaboratively with the best Academic and Industrial minds we
have to achieve the projects vision.

SERVICES DIVISION
The Services division achieved revenue for FY2018
of $10.040 million representing 38.7% growth on
FY2017 revenue of $7.237 million. The second half
of FY2018 reported an increase in revenue from
the first half, directly related to delays due to the
need for recruitment and training of new staff in
the first half. The NSW facility represents 89% of
this revenue based on its long standing surface
engineering repair and reclamation business. Most
of South Australia’s revenue is from the sale of
products, however this facility achieved a 101.7%
increase in services revenue based on sales
strategies developed for growth in services.
This division reports a $1.827 million EBITDA,
representing a 16.1% growth on FY2017 EBITDA of
$1.573 million.
The Services division continues to expect growth
in revenue at similar rates, largely based on
increasing demand from a growing customer base
and the increasing capacity and capabilities from
investment in resources (human and equipment).
PRODUCTS DIVISION
The Products division achieved revenue for
FY2018 of $5.608 million representing a 10.5%
growth on FY2017 revenue of $5.076 million.
The focus of the South Australian facilities has
been on products, and represents 48% of this
revenue. The balance of 52% is generated from
contract manufacturing of products for long
standing original equipment manufacturers.
Growth in products revenue is expected to grow
largely in South Australia due to the increasing
investment in resources (largely equipment) and
the improved output due to the upgrading to the
automated laser cladding system.
During FY2018 the Products Division incurred
an impairment of $281,624 on slow moving
inventory items. Refer to the Inventory Impairment
commentary on page 13 for more details.
The underlying EBITDA (prior to impairment)
was $1.217m representing a 23% increase on
FY2017 EBITDA of $0.989m. After the impairment,
Products Division achieved $0.935 million EBITDA.
During FY2018 margins on products division
work has been affected by the investment in
human resources (training impact particularly
coming up to speed with machining of our
surface engineering applications) and the short
term reduced production output impact from the
implementation of the automated laser cladding
system in South Australia.
Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 The Products Division is expected to continue to provide the most
revenue growth for the business.
Our first LaserBond laser cladding cell commissioned in China through the
Technology division.
TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
In the 4th quarter of FY2017, LaserBond delivered its first Technology
Division sale to a mineral processing equipment repairer in China which
intends to utilise laser cladding in its reclamation activities. The training
and support will continue over a five year period from commissioning
on the licensee’s premises in return for licensing fees, but due to delays
in completion of the licensee’s premises with an adequate power supply.
The equipment is now fully installed, commissioned and operating for
license fee returns commencing in FY2019.
In August 2018, the Technology Division secured the sale of a second
technology license to a multi-billion dollar global manufacturer that
will utilise LaserBond’s technology in its product offerings for improved
market differentiation. This will alone provide double digit increase
in revenue in FY2019 over FY2018 with associated increase in profits.
License fees and consumable sales will be derived over a 7 year
license term.
LaserBond has signed an agreement with a third party to support the
identification and qualification process for further technology sales. There
have been a number of enquiries that are being actively pursued.
LaserBond’s aim is to provide continued revenue from the Technology
Division in the form of the continuing licensing fees, consumables and
new technology sales.
Research & Development
LaserBond is committed to ongoing expenditure in Research &
Development to improve and maintain its market leading position.
This division reports an EBITDA loss of $500,513. Net costs against R&D
increased by over 36% due to the necessary continued research into new
products and / or applications crucial for LaserBond’s continuing growth.
For further information refer to the commentary on R&D Activities on
page 11 of this Directors’ Report.
13
Inventory Impairment
The ongoing commercialisation of the
technology we have developed and continue to
develop for the Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammers
and other drilling consumables is the subject
of the CRCp program in conjunction with our
partners Boart Longyear and the University
of SA. The project is proceeding well and will
deliver very positive results for the company
in the future. However, as noted within our
December 2017 half year report, at the time of
launch of our Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammers
a marketing campaign provided information
related to the type and size of hammers and
consumables used by potential customers.
Since this campaign a number of stocked
consumables, particularly bits, have not been
sold to customers.
As at the date of this report, discussions are
in progress with the original supplier of DTH
hammers for potential buyback options.
Taking a prudent approach, the Board has
written down DTH hammer and consumables
amounting to $281,624 as at 30 June 2018.
Outlook
During FY2019 LaserBond is targeting
continued double digit revenue growth from
the Services & Products divisions in addition to
already reported increases in revenue from the
Technology division, whilst retaining historical
gross profit rates. This is expected to reflect in
significant increases in net profit. There will be
continued investment in resources (human
and equipment) as well as research and
development to deliver future growth.
Further, the Board is implementing a strategic
plan aiming to achieve $40 million revenue
within four years. This plan focuses largely on:
1. Organisational Structure
The development of a structure that
provides a successful management team,
scaled for growth and reducing reliance
on the current Executive Directors for
operational matters.
2. Capacity & Capabilities
Increasing capacity and capabilities of all
facilities, including through an improved
shop floor shift structure to increase
capacity and reduce the burden on select
skilled staff, process optimisation to increase
machine uptime and effectiveness, and a
focus on the ongoing increasing of skill and
capabilities of operational staff.
Laserbond Limited - Annual Report 2018 14
3. Growth Options
A focus on international business development, including through
both Technology Licensing and maximising the potential and return
of opportunities with global customers within the Products and
Services divisions.
4. Investment
A focus on continued investment in resources (human and
equipment) and growth through acquisitions or development of
further “greenfield” sites in strategic domestic and/or international
locations.

accounting in the preparation of the financial report. We also conclude, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events and conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the
auditor’s report to the disclosures in the financial report about the material uncertainty or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion on the financial report. However,
future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
Corporate Information
LaserBond Limited is a for-profit listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The company specialises in
developing technologies and implementing its metal cladding methodologies to increase operating performance and wear life
of capital -intensive machinery component.
General Information and Statement of compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27th August 2018. These general
purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations and
the Corporations Act 2001, and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Revenue Recognition
Revenue arises from sale of products and services. It is measures with reference to the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable. Revenue is recognised in the following manner:
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods. Revenue from sale of good with no
significant service obligation is recognised on delivery.
Interest
Revenue from interest is recognised on accrual basis.
Other Income
Revenue from other income streams is recognised when the company receives it or as an accrual if the group are aware of the
entitlement to the other income.
b) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, have been identified as the Board.
c) Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and
to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction
does not affect either accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and
are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered
or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the company is Australian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into
the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains
and losses resulting from settling foreign currency transactions, as well as from restating foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and liabilities, are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except for
differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was
determined.
e) Comparative Information
Where necessary, comparative amounts have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year accounting
policy and disclosures. If there are any such changes, details on the nature and reason for the amounts that may have been
reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year accounting policy and disclosures, where considered material, are
referred to separately in the financial statements or notes thereto.
f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with
financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
g) Financial Instruments
Financial assets
The company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and
loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management
determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All
interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in
the income statement line items "interest paid". Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value
through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired
The company‘s financial liabilities include trade and other payables including finance lease liabilities, which are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the company prior to the year end and which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within
30 to 60 days of recognition.
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of
the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date
which are classified as non-current assets. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30
to 90 days from date of invoice.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with
the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference
between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent Measurement
Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method or cost.

Laserbond Limited - Financial Statements 2018
2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment
The company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets
is impaired. Impairment losses are recognised as profit or loss.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by
reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there
is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial
reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable maybe impaired. The
amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not
discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of any impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within
administration expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes
uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited against other income in profit or loss.
h)
Inventory
Raw materials, finished goods and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of work in
progress comprises direct materials, direct labour and any external sub-contract costs. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make
the sale.
i) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property plant and Equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a reducing balance basis using the following rates:
- Plant and equipment 4.5% - 65%
- Motor Vehicles 18.75% - 30%
- Development equipment 20% - 50%
j) Intangible assets
Patents
Patents in progress are recognised as a prepayment until verification of the success of the application. If an application is
unsuccessful the costs are expensed in the fiscal year the application is formally closed as unsuccessful. Where an application is
successful the costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the patent application was formally
advised of its success. Patent expenditures are amortised at 7.5% per annum.
Software
Where software is deemed a long term investment, such as the current enterprise resource planning software used by the
company, the software costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the software is installed for
use. Software expenditures are amortised at 40% - 70% per annum.
k) Impairment of Assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are
largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that
suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
l) Leases
Leases of plant and equipment, where the company as lessee has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are
classified as finance liabilities. Financed assets are capitalised at their inception at the fair value of the leased equipment or, if
lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost.
The finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The equipment acquired under finance agreements are depreciated
over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
LaserBond Ltd 2018 Annual Report | Page 26
Laserbond Limited - Financial Statements 2018
32
2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the company as lessee are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
m) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
n) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable
from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which
are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.
o) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be wholly
settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect
of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All
other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for employee entitlements which are not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in
which employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of
employee departures and periods of service. Discount rates are based on the market yield on Commonwealth Government
Securities with maturity dates close to the expected date the employee will reach 10 years of service.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual
settlement is expected to occur.
The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it
covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where
employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. Where employees have completed the required period of
service, this entire amount is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for
any of these obligations. However, based on past experiences, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount
of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.
(iii) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via an employee share scheme. The fair value of options granted
under the employee share scheme is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The
total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted, including the impact of any
vesting conditions.
Vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is
recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At
the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the numbers of shares that are expected to vest based on the vesting
conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment
to equity.
The grant by the company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the company is
treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of the employee services received, measured by
LaserBond Ltd 2018 Annual Report | Page 27
Laserbond Limited - Financial Statements 2018
2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
33
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary
undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.
p) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the
entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at reporting date.
q) Earnings per share
(i) Basic Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
-
The profit attributable to members of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.
By the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements
in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted Earnings per share
There are no outstanding ordinary shares therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.
r) Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant
conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant
to the costs they are compensating. Government grants relating to assets are initially taken to deferred income and then offset
against the carrying amount of the asset when construction of the asset has been completed.
s) Impact of Standards Issued but not yet applied by the Entity
(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments (Effective Date: 1 January 2018)
Significant revisions to the classification and measurement of financial assets, reducing the number of categories and simplifying
the measurement choices, including the removal of impairment testing of assets measured at fair value. The amortised cost
model is available for debt assets meeting both business model and cash flow characteristics tests. All investments in equity
instruments using AASB 9 are to be measured at fair value. LaserBond is yet to take a detailed assessment of the impact of the
AASB9. However, based on its preliminary assessment, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.
Impairment of assets is now based on expected losses in AASB 9 which requires entities to measure:
• The 12 month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months of the reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit loss (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the
financial instrument)
(ii) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Effective Date: 1 January 2018)
AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new standard being for entities to
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or service.
The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 may cause changes to the timing and amount of revenue recorded
in the financial statements as well as additional disclosures. Based on preliminary assessment, when this standard is first adopted
for the year ending 30 June 2019, there will be no material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial
statements
(iii) AASB 16 Leases (Effective Date: 1 January 2019)
AASB 16 introduces a new model requiring lessees to recognise all leases on the balance sheet, except for short term leases and
leases of low value assets. A short term lease is defined as a lease which has a term of twelve months or less at the
commencement date. The assessment of low value asset is based on the absolute value of the leased asset when new.. The
changes in AASB 16 will lead to recognition of increased lease liabilities on the balance sheet. LaserBond is yet to undertake a
detailed assessment of the impact of AASB16.

2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(iv) AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share based Payment
Transactions (effective date: 1 January 2018)
This Standard amends AASB 2 Share-based Payment to address:
a) The accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based
payments,
b) The classification of share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations;
and
c) The accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification
of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.
When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019 there will be no material impact on the financial
statements.
NOTE 2: Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Provision for Inventories:
The inventory held is reviewed on a monthly basis to determine whether there is any old, damaged or obsolete stock, or any
other stock items which need to be written down to net realisable value. At 30 June 2018 the directors have impaired the down-
the-hole (DTH) hammers and consumable inventory by $281,624 (2017: Nil)

The ongoing commercialisation of the technology we have developed and continue to develop for the Down-the-Hole (DTH)
hammers and other drilling consumables is the subject of the CRCp program in conjunction with our partners Boart Longyear
and the University of SA. The project is proceeding well and will deliver very positive results for the company in the future.
However, as noted within our December 2017 half year report, at the time of launch of our Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammers a
marketing campaign provided information related to the type and size of hammers and consumables used by potential
customers. Since this campaign a number of stocked consumables, particularly bits, have not been sold to customers.
As at the date of this report, discussions are in progress with the original supplier of DTH hammers for potential buyback options.
Taking a prudent approach, the Board has written down DTH hammer and consumables amounting to $281,624 as at 30 June
2018.

Management effectively manages the company’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks and adjusting its financial
structure in response to those risks. These responses include the management of debt levels and distributions to shareholders.
The company has no borrowings and no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new
shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Financial Risk Management Policies
Activities undertaken may expose the company to credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The group’s risk
management policies and objectives are therefore reviewed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of
the company.
The Board of Directors monitors and manages financial risk exposures of the company and reviews the effectiveness of internal
controls relating these risks. The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets,
while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance, including the review of credit risk policies and future cash
flow requirements.

Credit Risk Exposure
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognise
financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to
the financial statements.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments. The group manages this
risk by monetary cash flow forecasts
Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities (e.g. accounts
receivable and payable) are at approximate net fair value.
Sensitivity Analysis
The company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. This
sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis:
The company as 30th June 2018 held a quantity of cash on hand in an interest bearing bank account. The Director’s do not
consider that any reasonably possible movement in interest rates would cause a material effect on profit or equity.
Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity Analysis:
The company purchases certain raw material from overseas due to non-availability in Australia or savings due to bulk buying
power overseas. The company continues to expand its operation and has some overseas customers. 100% of those overseas
customers invoiced in foreign currency and 95% of overseas suppliers paid in foreign currency are affected by movement in the
US dollar exchange rate. To mitigate foreign currency risk for US dollar transactions the group has a US dollar bank account.
Payments made from this US dollar account are from foreign customer deposits or transfers of cash at a time the exchange rate is
deemed positive (which is reviewed on a daily basis) The Director’s do not consider that any reasonably possible movement in

a) Employee Share Plan
A scheme under which shares may be issued by the company to employees for no cash consideration was approved by
shareholders through the prospectus. Eligibility to participate is based on an employee being a full-time employee of the
company (or any of its 100% owned subsidiaries), the employee is an Australian resident for income tax purposes and the
employees has been directly employed by the group (or any of its 100% owned subsidiaries) for at least as period of 36
continuous months in a permanent position.
Each eligible employee will be entitled to a maximum of $1,000 of fully-paid ordinary shares annually, with the number of shares
calculated based on the closing price of the group’s on the day each issue is formally passed by the Board. Offers under the
scheme are at the discretion of the Board.
Shares issued are vested for a period of three years from date of issue, with one third released annually on each anniversary date
of the Board approved issue date. If employment is ceased for any reason any shares still currently vested and not released will
be forfeited by the employee. Shares are issued as fully-paid ordinary shares and rank equally with existing shares on issue.
Number of new shares issued under the plan to participating
employees: (refer to Note 13 a) for detail of date of issue and
issue price)

b) Non-Executive Director Remuneration (Non-Cash)
Non-Executive Directors may be paid remuneration through both cash fees and non-cash benefits in the form of equity issues.
The fees will be a fixed sum determined annually that reflects the time, commitment and responsibilities of their role, financial
forecasts and cash-flow position of the company.
No shares will be issued until shareholder approval is gained at the next Annual (Or Extraordinary) General Meeting.
Where the issue of shares results in the aggregate amount of fees to exceed the sum approved last by shareholders, shareholder
approval may be sought to modify the agreed aggregate amount of fees.
Where the issue of shares results in a non-executive director’s total remuneration for a fiscal year to be in any way deemed
‘unreasonable remuneration’, shareholder approval will be sought to approve any recommended issue. Unreasonable
remuneration is defined as the aggregate amount of fees most recently approved by shareholders divided by the total number
of non-executive directors.
The required approval, if any, will be determined by the Board prior to the next Annual (or Extraordinary) General meeting.
A non-executive director is ineligible for non-cash benefits in the form of equity issues if the non-executive director has not held
a position on the Board for the full twelve months of each fiscal year.
At the 2017 Annual General Meeting shareholder approval was sought and gained for the issue of 100,000 shares to one non-
executive director who held office for the full twelve months of fiscal year 2017. No approval has as yet been sought or gained for
the 2018 fiscal year.
