Micro-X Ltd
Directors' report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Review of operations
The Group’s focus in the 2019 Financial Year (FY) was the ramp up of supporting operational and manufacturing
infrastructure for early commercial sales of its first product, the CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Nano. This resulted in the
first production revenues for the Group. In addition, future product developments were significantly advanced with the
strategic partnering and funding put in place with Thales Group for Micro-X’s counter-terrorism and airport security products,
and the engineering and design work undertaken during the year for the Rover mobile x-ray for deployable military hospitals.
Commercialisation - CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Nano
The CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Nano or Nano, is a mobile x-ray for bedside imaging in hospital wards and intensive
care units. The Nano is a Class II medical device with regulatory approvals now in place for sale of the Nano in 40 countries,
including 510(k) approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration and CE marking in the European Union.
The Group’s global distributor, Carestream Health, Inc. (formally Kodak Medical imaging) commenced early sales as the
Nano was first featured ‘for sale’ on the Carestream exhibition stand at the annual Radiological Society of North America
Scientific Meeting in Chicago in November 2018. There was strong procurement interest from conference delegates from all
over the world. During the 2019 Financial year, these sales efforts were ramped up as regulatory approvals in new territories
were added with sales of the Nano going into USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, Korea and
UAE. Additional marketing efforts are planned to support the additional sales expected in the next financial year.
The Group also received good customer feedback from a number of early customers in relation to the features of the Nano
including its ease of use and maneuverability. The demonstrated reliability of the in-service units, as measured by service
calls during the year, was also five times better than targeted.
Operations & Manufacturing
The Group significantly ramped its manufacturing capacity and facilities during the year.
One aspect of this was the next stage expansion of the Tonsley facility in Adelaide. This facility was increased to over
1,000m2, in order to meet the medium term needs of Nano commercial production. Additional elements of the expansion
included shielded rooms for customer x-ray demonstrations, additional mechanical engineering and laboratory spaces,
dedicated areas and test facilities for security products and additional space for Rover production.
The Group also spent considerable resources during the year on its strategic Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) emitter tube in-
sourcing project which took two years overall and was completed in July 2019. This project has delivered the Group its own,
wholly-owned, proprietary x-ray tube and emitter for the Nano. This in-house manufacture also provides substantial benefits
in reduced costs (increased product margins), reduced cycle time, improved quality, increased scalability and independence
in the supply chain.
A key element of the Micro-X CNT emitter and tube in-sourcing project was to meet or improve existing reliability and
performance standards and to effect a seamless transition from the existing supplier. The final stages of reliability testing of
Micro-X tubes in the Nano cart is expected to be completed shortly. Once completed, the Adelaide-made x-ray tubes will
replace those previously manufactured by a third party vendor, XinRay Systems Inc., which had been plagued with issues
related to production yield and costs.
The Group has now created its own proprietary intellectual property around both the new CNT emitter and the method of
manufacture, with a new patent now filed. This capability is also expected to provide enhanced flexibility in future product
designs, including the Rover and the Mobile Backscatter Imager.
Other Products in Development
Rover Mobile X-ray:
The Group’s second product in development is the ‘Rover’ Mobile X-ray for Deployed Military Medical facilities. This product
is based on a high commonality of components with the Nano with design modifications for military applications including a
higher energy x-ray capability for trauma patients, rapid battery swap-out capability and a ruggedised design. The Rover
does not have a direct competitor in its market and is expected to attract higher sale price and margins than the Nano.
During the year, initial design work on the x-ray tube for the Rover was completed and a design project commenced for a
high voltage power supply.
The Group also participated in bids with each of the five prime contractors competing for Defence Project JP2060, the
procurement of a new deployable medical facility for the Australian Army. The Australian Department of Defence has made
a source selection and contracting is expected in Q3 FY2020. This is expected to involve the Group selling a package
including a number of Rover units into the project in late 2020.
The Group also was invited to present the Rover product and its capability in May 2019 to the US joint services Defense
Health Agency at Fort Detrick near Washington DC. This confirmed an interest from the US Department of Defense in
acquiring new lightweight, deployable diagnostic imaging technology.
Future Aviation Security Solutions in UK:
During the year, the Group completed its deliverables for its contract with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
of the UK Ministry of Defence by presenting the imaging performance results from the concept demonstrator of a lightweight
x-ray imaging system for detecting explosives hidden in consumer electronic devices.

For the year ended 30 June 2019
The Group also presented to the UK Department for Transport in London in September 2018 a model of a mobile scanner
for secondary screening of carry-on baggage. This product concept created strong interest among the user community and
the security team at Heathrow Airport gave an insight as to how this technology might be applied to a new automated
checkpoint configuration.
Brain Tomographic Imaging for Stroke
During the year, the Group conducted a successful proof-of-concept trial of its Brain Tomographic Imager at the Royal
Melbourne Hospital. The Group, in collaboration with the Melbourne Brain Centre, was awarded a Phase One grant of $0.98
million under the MRFF Frontier Health Program to further this technology. This remains a future product opportunity in a
market with significant unmet medical need.
Strategic Partnering with Thales Group
During the year, there was considerable focus to complete a transformational strategic alliance with Thales Group, the world-
leading aerospace, defence, transportation and security technology company headquartered in Paris, France.
Underpinning the alliance, the Group and Thales will jointly design and manufacture a revolutionary new range of ultra-
miniature x-ray tubes combining Micro-X’s world-leading experience in CNT x-ray sources with Thales’ 60 years’ experience
in x-ray devices. These tubes will be produced by Thales and manufactured in France, and will power both Thales’ and
Micro-X’s future roadmap of innovative products for the security market including for a new high-speed airport checkpoint
security system providing a quantum leap in throughput and threat detection.
The second part of the alliance is a collaboration on the global sales and support of Micro-X’s counter-terrorism Mobile
Backscatter Imager (MBI) for assessment of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) forms. While the Group has made
preparations for direct sales of the MBI to the Five Eyes alliance countries (USA, UK, Canada, Australia & NZ), Thales will
sell the MBI product on an OEM basis throughout the rest of the world.
The contracts with Thales were signed at the end of the Q3 FY2019 and completion occurred on 2 July 2019 following
Foreign Investment Review Board approval.
Financial Overview
The net loss for the Group and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the 2019 Financial Year after providing for income tax,
amounted to $9.834 million compared with a loss in the previous year of $16.595 million. This net loss is comprised of:
· $4.8 million in expenditure on research and development activity. Most of this was related to development work on
emitter and tube technology, as well as the development and final productionisation of the first product, the Carestream DRX
Revolution Nano or Nano. The balance of the research and development related to future products including the Rover, the
MBI and the Tomo;
· $5.1 million was spent on employee and direct costs during the year. This represented a $1.0 million increase on prior
period, driven by an increased headcount as the engineering and development team was expanded;
The reduction in the loss for the 2019 Financial Year was due to reductions in project development costs of $2.6 million. This
year there was also no impairment charge for the Group’s investment in XinRay Systems Inc. (2018: $6.80 million).
During the 2019 Financial Year the Group received funds from the following sources:
· $1.9 million as customer receipts from the sale of the Nano unit and spare parts to Carestream Health, Inc.;
· $1.2 million of the $2.4 million Grant under the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Fund Grant by the Australian
Government, Department of Industry, Innovation and Science;
· $3.8 million for the Research and Development Tax Incentive cash for the 2017/18 Financial Year.
During the year, the Group raised $3.0 million via an unsecured convertible notes and $2.0 million was raised in a private
placement of shares with attaching 1 for 2 call options.
The Group also executed a $3.0 million loan facility agreement with R&D Capital Pty Ltd. The loan is repayable upon receipt
of FY19 R&D Tax Refund from the Australian Tax Office.
Following the year end, in July 2019, the Group received the first A$5.0 million from Thales under their 6 year A$10 million
convertible bond. The balance of these funds will be drawn as-required to support the planned technology and product
development program. The Thales bonds will be convertible at any time during the sixth year of the loan at a 20% discount
to the 30-day VWAP at the time of conversion. The bonds will pay an annual interest rate 185 bps above the 6-month
Australian BBSW, equating to a rate of approximately 2.8% at present.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Directors' report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
On 2 July 2019, the Group announced that Thales SA had completed a A$10M investment, as part of a collaboration to
finance the next generations of unique x-ray products.
Thales' investment was first announced on 1 April 2019, however was subject to certain conditions precedent including the
approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board which has now been granted. Following completion of the deal, the first
$5M draw-down was made by the Group against the 6-year A$10M convertible loan. The loan will be convertible at Thales'
sole discretion, at any time in the 12 months following 2 July 2024, at a 20% discount to the 30-day VWAP at the time of
conversion. The loan will pay an annual interest rate of 185 bps above the 6-month BBSW, equating to a rate of approximately
2.8% at present.
On 15 July 2019, the Group announced that it had reached substantial completion on a major technology project for the
development and manufacture of the next generation of CNT x-ray tubes, proprietary to and manufactured by the Group.
The core of the Group's revolutionary technology platform involves an x-ray tube containing a CNT electron emitter. Originally
this was manufactured by a third party supplier, XinRay, and this x-ray tube was the world’s first and only not to use heated-
filament electron emission which is the key to reducing size, weight, heat and power. Now the Group has its own proprietary
CNT emitter, manufactured at its Tonsley facility in Adelaide, Australia. This technology will be used in all current and future
x-ray products.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the
Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Group’s main focus moving forward is to maximize revenues and gross margins from the sale of the DRX Revolution
Nano. This will involve working with Carestream Health to grow sales as well as developing and implementing strategies to
access new markets. A cost-down production engineering project has also been initiated to increase gross margins on the
product.
The second key focus in the coming financial year will be to bring the Group’s second product, the Rover mobile military x-
ray system into production and to market. The testing of imaging performance is expected during the second quarter of
FY2020 and a new high voltage power supply to provide the increased energy is in development. Regulatory approval will
also be undertaken in the first half of Calendar Year 2020, so that the Rover can be sold commercially in the second half of
Calendar Year 2020.
Work with Thales will also be focused on the first fully-functional engineering prototype of the Mobile Backscatter Imager for
the unmanned assessment of potential IEDs, the Group’s third product.
Environmental regulation
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board
of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance
practices:
●
●
●
●
competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
transparency
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for
its directors and executives. The performance of the entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The
remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel and, accordingly, the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive
and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.
The remuneration framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board is in the process of
refining the remuneration framework, and as part of this process will seek to further align shareholders' interests by:
●
●
having economic profit as a core component of plan design
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
attracting and retaining high calibre executives
●
Additionally, the remuneration framework should seek to align and incentivise executives' interests by:
●
●
●
rewarding capability and experience
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
providing a clear structure for earning rewards
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director
remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors'
fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and
Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-
executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman's fees are determined
independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman
is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
Non-executive directors were issued Award Options, as described in the Group's Prospectus dated 25 November 2015, on
17 December 2015, following the completion of the Group's Initial Public Offer. Apart from the Award Options, Non-executive
directors present from the Initial Public Offer do not receive share options or other incentives. New non-executive directors
since this period are offered share options upon their appointment.

Directors' report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
ASX listing rules require the aggregate maximum non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a
general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held prior to the Group's ASX listing,
where the shareholders approved the Group's Constitution which provides for an aggregate maximum remuneration of
$300,000 per annum.
Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their responsibility and performance, with a level and mix of remuneration
which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
●
●
●
●
base pay and non-monetary benefits
short-term performance incentives
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of
the Group and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') include share-based payments. The Executive directors were issued Award Options, as
described in the Group's Prospectus dated 25 November 2015, on 17 December 2015, following the completion of the
Group's Initial Public Offer.
Group performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration of key management personnel is not currently directly linked to the performance of the Group other than via
Award Options the value of which is linked to its share price. The Group will investigate an appropriate mechanism for such
linkage.
Use of remuneration consultants
The Group did not engage any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

Service criteria that must be met before the options vest are as follows:
• issues to Executive Directors (P Rowland and R Hannebery):
- one third (Tranche 1) vested immediately upon IPO;
- one third (Tranche 2) vest on 1 September 2016, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
- one third (Tranche 3) vest on 1 September 2017, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
• issues to Non-Executive Directors (P O'Brien, D Symons, A Gosling):
- one third (Tranche 1) vest on 21 December 2016, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
- one third (Tranche 2) vest on 21 December 2017, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
- one third (Tranche 3) vest on 21 December 2018, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date.
• issues to Non-Executive Director (Y King):
- one half (Tranche 1) vest on 1 December 2018, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
- one half (Tranche 2) vest on 1 December 2019, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
• issues to Non-Executive Director (J McDowell):
- one half (Tranche 1) vest on 11 September 2019, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
- one half (Tranche 2) vest on 11 September 2020, provided the holder remains employed by the Group on that
date;
The granting and vesting of the options is not dependent upon the satisfaction of a performance condition as the Group is of
the view that the service criteria, and the contribution by the recipient to the increase in the Group's share price, and therefore
the value of their options, is currently a sufficient basis for the granting and vesting of those options.

During the financial year, the Group paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of the
Group against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure
of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Group has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Group
or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the Group has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the Group or any
related entity.
Proceedings on behalf of the Group
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf
of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on
behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.
Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor
are outlined in note 25 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial 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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Micro-X Ltd as a Group consisting of Micro-X Ltd and the entities it controlled at the end of,
or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Micro-X Ltd's functional and
presentation currency.

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is
not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 August 2019. The
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial
performance or position of the Group.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
Other Income - Government subsidies
Subsidies from the government including R&D tax incentive income, have been recognised as other income at their fair value
where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, the Group will comply with attached conditions and the
R&D incentive is readily measurable.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for
financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective
is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and
interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business
model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that
are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified
and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to
present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a
business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be
irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting
mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the
change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting
mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with
the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to
recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial
instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For
receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
Impact to the Group assessed as below:
Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is
extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction
price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where
applicable).
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Group’s financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortised
cost.
Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business
model of ‘hold to collect’ are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group’s trade and other
receivables falls into this category.
Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9’s new forward looking impairment model applies to the Group’s investments held at amortised cost. The application
of the new impairment model depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
Trade and other receivables
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance
at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical
experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision
matrix.
The Group has made an assessment in regard to expected credit losses for this reporting period and has determined that
no expected credit losses can be foreseen, and hence have not impaired trade and other receivables at this point in time.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Group’s financial liabilities were not
impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, the accounting policy is disclosed below.
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group
designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
27

Micro-X Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives
and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in
profit or loss.
The Group has designated its convertible note liabilities at FVPL in order to provide the most relevant information to users,
and furthermore to keep consistency with initial recognition on inception of these instruments. An assessment will be made
at each reporting period in regard to underlying valuation of this liability in regard to share price upon conversion of the
convertible notes.
Impact of AASB 9 vs AASB 139
The only impact from change in accounting standards during the current period is the change in classification for trade and
receivables from ‘loans and receivables’ per AASB 139 to ‘amortised cost’ per AASB 9. As noted above however, the Group
has determined that no expected credit loss is to be recognised against these receivables and hence no change in the
carrying amount of this asset in the current period.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a
measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting
policies below.
Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss after tax for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 of $9.8M (year ended June 2018: $16.6M)
and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $7.2M (year ended June 2018: $7.8M). The Group had net deficit as
for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 of ($3.0M) (year ended June 2018: $727K). The deficit was primarily caused by
reductions in cash and receivables, the disposal of XinRay Systems Inc. investment, as well as increased borrowings with
the second tranche of convertible notes sitting within liabilities as well as an increased loan balance to R&D Capital Pty Ltd.
The convertible notes are a non-cash liability as there is no option for the noteholders to redeem a cash payment as the
notes can only be converted to shares. The directors are satisfied that the consolidated entity is able to meets its working
capital liabilities as and when they fall due.
Notwithstanding these results, the directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, which
contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary
course of business and as a result the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The accounts
have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern for the following reasons:
●
the operating loss and operating cash flow outcomes for the year ended 30 June 2019 reflect the results of the Group's
major activities during that period, including the following, which were not directly revenue-generating nor cash-flow
positive;
the finalisation of research and development activities on the DRX Revolution Nano program which has now moved
into full production, which will generate positive operating cash flows to the Group. Furthermore, the Group has begun
development work on future product pipelines in order to continue to diversify the Group's operations;
increased sales to customer, Carestream Health, consisting of both trial DRX-Revolution Nano units and service parts
sales;
convertible notes included within non-current liabilities are non-cash in nature and will not affect future cash-flows;
the Group is planning to consolidate its operating activities at a profitable and cash flow-positive level going forward;
as the Group is an ASX-listed entity, it has the ability to raise additional funds if required;
the Group is due to receive approximately $3.1M from the R&D tax incentive scheme in relation to FY2019 during Q1
FY20, $3.0M of which will go to paying down the loan held with R&D Capital;
the Group received a significant strategic investment with Thales in Calendar Year 2019; and
the Board is of the opinion that the Group has sufficient funds to meet the planned corporate activities, research and
development activities and working capital requirements.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
The Directors are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is
recognised in the financial report as at 30 June 2019.
Accordingly, this financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities as might be necessary should the Group not continue as a
going concern.
Notwithstanding the above, there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge
its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the
revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial
instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial
statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Micro-X Ltd ('Company' or
'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Micro-X Ltd and its subsidiaries
together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by
the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest,
without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable
to the parent.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling
interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises
the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in
profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis
as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation
of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is currently recognised when the Group transfers control of assets to the customer and is
recognised at a point in time only.
Control is determined to have transferred to the customer by reference to individual commercial contract terms with each
customer.
Transaction price is then allocated on a per-unit basis, with a delivery of product on a unit-by-unit basis being considered as
the performance obligation.
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Government subsidies
Subsidies from the government such as R&D tax incentive income and AMGF Grant income, are recognised as other income
at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, the Group will comply with attached
conditions and the incentive is readily measurable.
In relation to R&D, as the estimate is reliably measurable, the R&D tax incentive is measured on an accruals basis. AMGF
Grants funds paid during the year are also being treated on an accruals basis.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the
net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
●
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor
taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the
timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
●
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax
assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the
carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable
that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the
reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities
are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include 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.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 60
days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss
allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Inventories
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on an average
cost basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate
proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers
from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and
discounts received or receivable.
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.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on
whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the entity is able to exert significant influence but not control or joint control.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to
the Group’s share in the associate is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment. The
carrying amount of the investment in associates is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or
loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting
policies of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to
the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested
for impairment.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Property, plant and equipment
Leasehold improvements are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Furniture and fittings are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Computer equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements
Plant and equipment
Fixtures and fittings
Computer equipment
3-10 years
3-7 years
3-7 years
3-7 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the
Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and
are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less
amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible
assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The
method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption
or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Research and development
Costs incurred in research and development activities are expensed as incurred, with the exception of costs that Micro-X
can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its
intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the
availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the
intangible asset during its development.
Patents and trademarks
Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period
of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-
financial 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.

Micro-X Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to
form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other payables (Note 12)
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and
which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts
are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings and other financial liabilities
Recognition and recognition
Financial liabilities are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group
designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives
and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in
profit or loss.
The Group has designated its convertible note liabilities at FVPL in order to provide the most relevant information to users,
and furthermore to keep consistency with initial recognition on inception of these instruments. An assessment will be made
at each reporting period in regard to underlying valuation of this liability in regard to share price upon conversion of the
convertible notes.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in
the period in which they are incurred.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is
probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money
is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision
resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities
are settled.

Micro-X Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are
measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to
the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels,
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at
the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the
estimated future cash outflows.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the
rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution,
the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk
free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group
receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting
period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate
of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit
or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are
satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An
additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value
of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a
cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period,
any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense
is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award
is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair
value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal
market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming
they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and
best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Micro-X Ltd, 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 financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to consider the after
income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted
average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of
financial position.
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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency:
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Micro-X Ltd's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of Micro-X Ltd, using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year end exchange rates are recognised in profit or
loss. Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange
rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
Foreign operations:
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets and liabilities
of the foreign entity and translated into $AUD at the closing rate. Income and expenses have been translated into $AUD at
the average rate over the reporting period. Exchange differences are charged or credited to other comprehensive income
and recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation
differences recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Rounding of amounts
The Group is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations
Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory,
have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group's assessment of
the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out
below.

AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces AASB 117 Leases, AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an
Arrangement contains a Lease, AASB Interpretation-115 Operating Leases-Incentives and AASB Interpretation 127
Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. AASB 16 sets out the principles for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a
single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under AASB 117.
The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and
short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will
recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying
asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest
expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the
lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments).
The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-
use asset.
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under AASB 117. Lessors will
continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in AASB 117 and distinguish between two types of
leases: operating and finance leases.
Transition to AASB 16
The Group plans to adopt AASB 16 under the modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019. The Group will elect to
apply the standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4. The
Group will therefore not apply the standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease applying
AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4.
The Group will elect to use the exemptions proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease terms ends
within 12 months as of the date of initial application, and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value. The
Group has leases of certain office equipment (i.e., personal computers, printing and photocopying machines) that are
considered of low value.
The Group is still completing its detailed calculations in relation to transition under AASB 16. However an estimate of the
impact is detailed below . Under the modified retrospective approach the approach adopted will be to recognise the right of
use asset equal to the lease liability and therefore having no impact on retained earnings. It is expected that the value of the
right of use asset and lease liability to be recognised will be between $1.1m and $1.3m. Note these estimates may be subject
to further change upon completion of the detailed calculations for AASB 16 transition.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and
assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal
the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions (Note 34)
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model considering
the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to
equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant
and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations
or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously
estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written
down.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each
reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an
impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal
or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.
Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining
the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business
for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based
on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the
carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Research and development (R&D) tax incentive
The Group is entitled to claim R&D tax incentives in Australia. The R&D tax incentive is calculated using the estimated R&D
expenditure multiplied by a 43.5% non-refundable tax offset. The Group accounts for this incentive as other income within
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Note 4. Operating segments
The Group is organised into one operating segment being the design, development and manufacturing of ultra-lightweight
carbon nano tube based x-ray products for the global healthcare and security (improvised explosive device imaging) markets.
This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are
identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of
resources.
Major customers
During the year ended 30 June 2019 approximately $1.93M or 100% (2018: $845K or 53%) of the Group's external revenue
was derived from sales to Carestream. During the year ended 30 June 2019 none (2018: $762K or 47%) of the Group's
external revenue was derived from sales to Defence Science and Technology Group of the Department of Defence.

* April 2018 tranche of $5.0M shown was classified to equity from non-current liabilities during the reporting period upon
meeting the 'fixed-for-fixed' criteria. October 2018 tranche fair value equal to consideration paid, less converted amounts
during the reporting period. Refer further explanation below.
Convertible Note Payable
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement
of financial position.
April 2018 Convertible Note:
In order to classify this note, the Group assessed AASB9 and made assessment that the notes were derivative in nature as
all characteristics under this section were met.
The 'fixed for fixed' test per AASB9 was then consequently assessed to determine whether the notes were of an equity or
liability nature. As a qualifying capital raise did not occur before 30 September 2018, on maturity conversion the notes will
convert into ordinary shares at a fixed price, indicating that this test is now passed, causing the notes to be change
classification from liability to equity during the current reporting period.
In relation to the fair value of these notes, the Group has made the assessment to recognise the notes at the sum of
consideration paid as at time of completion of convertible note capital raising. No fair value adjustments have been made to
this instrument during the current reporting period.
October 2018 Convertible Note:
In order to classify this note, the Group assessed AASB9 and made assessment that the notes were derivative in nature as
all characteristics under this section were met.
The 'fixed for fixed' test per AASB9 was then consequently assessed to determine whether the notes were of an equity or
liability nature. Per the terms of the note, the continued variable nature of the conversion price and hence number of shares
issued on conversion, indicates that the fixed-for-fixed test as noted above was failed and notes have been recognised as a
financial liability and within scope of AASB 9. Per the terms of the notes and depending on qualifying capital raisings
occurring, there is a floor price on conversion of $0.23/share, and a ceiling price on conversion of $0.40/share which has led
to the above classification. The notes are perpetual in nature with no expiry date.
In relation to the fair value of these notes, the Group has made the assessment to recognise the notes at the sum of
consideration paid as at time of completion of convertible note capital raising being $3.0M, less amounts converted into
shares to balance date. $1.0M of notes was converted prior to reporting date, as per note 18, leaving a closing fair value of
$2.0M as at reporting date.
A number of factors were assessed before making this conclusion. The notes are inherently complex in nature, which makes
valuation difficult and furthermore current volatility in the Group's share price has further added to this complexity.
Comparisons were made between the 20 day VWAP prior to reporting date with a 20% discount applied per terms of the
notes and the 20 day VWAP prior to reporting date, in relation to floor cap and maximum conversion price of the Convertible
Notes. The 20 day VWAP was immaterially different from the initial issue price of these notes, which has further supported
the fair value chosen.
Noted that a finance cost was recognised as at 31 December 2018 half-year reporting based on the share price as at that
date, however this finance cost has now been eliminated based on the above factors and 20 day VWAP at 30 June 2019
reporting date. A finance cost was recognised on conversion of the two tranches before period end in relation to the 20%
discount, which has been recognised within the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Note 23. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different
types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other price
risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors
('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures,
controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance
reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Unless otherwise stated, there have been no changes from the previous reporting period in the Group's exposures to risks
related to financial instruments, or how those risks arise.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in
a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange
risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar (USD).
Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash deposits with
floating interest rates. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk.
All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Group does not
engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.
In regard to its interest rate risk, the Group continuously analyses its exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to
potential renewals of existing positions, alternative investments and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.
At the balance date the Group had the following financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate
risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Cash at bank of $1.6M (2018: $4.1M). The sensitivity of the cash at bank balance to changes in interest rate (of +/-1%)
equates to +/-$16,063 (2018: +/-$40,680). The sensitivity of 1% is based on reasonable, possible changes, over a financial
year, using the observed range of actual historical short-term deposit rate movements and management's expectation of
future movements.
Credit risk
The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through
the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative
across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking
information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include
the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual
payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Micro-X Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 23. Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and outstanding trade and other receivables.
The cash balances are held in financial institutions with high ratings and the trade and other receivables relate to:
(i) amounts receivable from a substantial trade debtor with a strong credit standing;
(ii) goods and services tax receivable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO);
(iii) estimated R&D tax incentive receivable from the ATO.
The Group has assessed that there is minimal risk that the cash and trade and other receivables balances are impaired.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents)
and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Trade payables are generally payable on 30-day terms.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have
been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial
liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual
maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

On 2 July 2019, the Group announced that Thales SA had completed a A$10M investment, as part of a collaboration to
finance the next generations of unique x-ray products.
Thales' investment was first announced on 1 April 2019, however was subject to certain conditions precedent including the
approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board which has now been granted. Following completion of the deal, the first
$5M draw-down was made by the Group against the 6-year A$10M convertible loan. The loan will be convertible at Thales'
sole discretion, at any time in the 12 months following 2 July 2024, at a 20% discount to the 30-day VWAP at the time of
conversion. The loan will pay an annual interest rate of 185 bps above the 6-month BBSW, equating to a rate of approximately
2.8% at present.
On 15 July 2019, the Group announced that it had reached substantial completion on a major technology project for the
development and manufacture of the next generation of Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) x-ray tubes, proprietary to and
manufactured by the Group.
The core of the Group's revolutionary technology platform involves an x-ray tube containing a CNT electron emitter. Originally
this was manufactured by a third party supplier, XinRay, and this x-ray tube was the world’s first and only not to use heated-
filament electron emission which is the key to reducing size, weight, heat and power. Now the Group has its own proprietary
CNT emitter, manufactured at its Tonsley facility in Adelaide, Australia. This technology will be used in all current and future
x-ray products.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the
Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 34. Earnings per share (continued)
The weighted average number of shares does not include the potential number of ordinary shares upon take-up of options
and the conversion of the mandatorily convertible notes.
The total number of options granted and outstanding is 9,999,340 of which 9,006,006 were vested at 30 June 2019.
The potential number of shares on conversion of the March 2018 mandatorily convertible notes which are unconverted is
12,500,000 ordinary shares based on conversion prices of $0.40 (Ceiling Cap).
The potential number of shares on conversion of the October 2018 mandatorily convertible notes which are unconverted
ranges from 8,695,650 ordinary shares to 5,000,000 ordinary shares based on conversion prices ranging from $0.23 (Floor
Cap) to $0.40 (Ceiling Cap) respectively.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be
issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. It is noted that diluted EPS cannot be
calculated on the loss for the year and accordingly the diluted EPS equals the basic EPS.

Share based payments relate to Award Options as outlined in the Group’s Prospectus dated 25 November 2015. These
options were issued to directors and nominated employees and consultants of the Group.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Micro-X Ltd
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Micro-X Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, and the Directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the year
ended on that date; and
b 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 and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $9.8 million
during the year ended 30 June 2019, and as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1.3
million. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material
uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our procedures included, amongst others:
obtaining the convertible note agreements to understand
the terms and conditions of the contracts;
performing enquiries with management to understand the
substance of the transaction in order to identify any
surrounding circumstances that would influence the fair
value of the convertible notes at 30 June 2019;
assessing the appropriateness of management’s
classification of the financial instrument in accordance with
AASB 132;
assessing management’s conclusions on identification of
the separate components implied within the instrument;
evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assigned
fair value of each component upon initial recognition of the
instrument, as well as any subsequent measurement at
the reporting date;
reviewing the fair value on conversion of instruments
during the year to share capital; and
assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the financial
statements.
Financial instruments – Notes 2, 16 and 20
During the prior financial year, the Group issued 50,000
convertible notes with a collective face value of $5.0 million.
During the year ended 30 June 2019, there was a requirement
to reconsider the classification of the convertible notes based
on the agreed conversion terms when a Qualifying Capital
Raise did not occur. Prior to the reclassification event, the
notes were classified as a liability, but have subsequently
been reclassified to equity following the satisfaction of the
'fixed for fixed' criteria.
In October 2018, the Group issued a further 30,000
convertible notes with a face value of $3.0 million, with similar
conversion options to those above, but a modified window of
time for a successful Qualifying Capital Raise.
There were some conversion of tranches into issued capital of
the Group during the year.
Accordingly, management must consider the change in nature
of the existing notes, as well as the classification of the new
notes, and assess their classification and fair value in
accordance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments:
Presentation and AASB 9 Financial Instruments.
These assessments can be complex and involve management
judgement. These judgements include:
whether the instrument includes an embedded or
standalone derivative to be separately accounted for;
determining the appropriate classification of the instrument
within the financial statements as defined in accounting
standard AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation;
determining the fair value of the upon initial recognition of
the instrument, considering the following:
instrument as a whole;
liability component;
conversion features; and, if applicable
derivative component; and
determining the fair value of each component at 30 June
2019.
This area is a key audit matter due to the management
judgements involved and valuation complexities of the
instruments.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation and disposal of investment in associate –
Notes 2, 9 and 31
On 28 February 2019, Management announced the execution
of a binding agreement with XinRay to sell back the Group's
30% stake in exchange for the settlement of outstanding trade
payables owed to the Associate, totalling approximately
USD$1.5 million (~AUD$2.2 million).
Our procedures included, amongst others:
reviewing the measurement of the performance captured
in the investment up to the point of disposal, against the
requirements of AASB 128, including the elimination of
profit on related party sales;
Up to its disposal, the investment in XinRay was required to
be measured in accordance with AASB 128 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures.
obtaining managements calculation of the profit on
disposal of the investment and agreeing pertinent data to
supporting documentation; and
Accounting for this transaction requires judgement and
estimate by management to determine the carrying amount of
the investment on the date of disposal.
This area is a key audit matter due to the valuation
complexities of the investment being a significant risk.
Recognition of research and development tax incentive
– Notes 2, 3, 5 and 8
Under the research and development (R&D) tax incentive
scheme, the Group receives a 43.5% refundable tax offset for
eligible expenditure if its turnover is less than $20 million per
annum, provided it is not controlled by income tax exempt
entities. An R&D plan is filed with AusIndustry in the following
financial year and, based on this filing, the Group receives the
incentive in cash.
Management have performed a detailed review of the Group’s
total R&D expenditure to determine the potential claim under
the R&D tax incentive legislation.
The receivable at year-end for the incentive was $3.0 million.
This represents an estimated claim for the period 1 July 2018
to 30 June 2019.
We have placed audit focus on the R&D tax incentive given
the significant degree of judgement and interpretation of the
R&D tax legislation required by management to assess the
eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme.
This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent
complexities and judgement required of management to
determine their receivable reimbursement.
assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial
statements.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
enquiring with management to obtain and document an
understanding of the process to estimate the claim;
evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of
management’s expert;
utilising an R&D tax expert to consider the nature of the
expenses against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax
incentive scheme to form a view about whether the
expenses included in the estimate were likely to meet the
eligibility criteria;
comparing the nature of the R&D expenditure included in
the current year estimate to the prior year claim;
comparing the eligible expenditure used in the receivable
calculation to the expenditure recorded in the general
ledger;

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of intangible assets – Notes 2, 3 and 11
Under the research and development (R&D) tax incentive
scheme, the Group receives a 43.5% refundable tax offset for
eligible expenditure if its turnover is less than $20 million per
annum, provided it is not controlled by income tax exempt
entities. An R&D plan is filed with AusIndustry in the following
financial year and, based on this filing, the Group receives the
incentive in cash.
Management have performed a detailed review of the Group’s
total R&D expenditure to determine the potential claim under
the R&D tax incentive legislation.
The receivable at year-end for the incentive was $3.0 million.
This represents an estimated claim for the period 1 July 2018
to 30 June 2019.
We have placed audit focus on the R&D tax incentive given
the significant degree of judgement and interpretation of the
R&D tax legislation required by management to assess the
eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme.
This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent
complexities and judgement required of management to
determine their receivable reimbursement.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
enquiring with management to obtain and document an
understanding of the process to estimate the claim;
evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of
management’s expert;
utilising an R&D tax expert to consider the nature of the
expenses against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax
incentive scheme to form a view about whether the
expenses included in the estimate were likely to meet the
eligibility criteria;
comparing the nature of the R&D expenditure included in
the current year estimate to the prior year claim;
comparing the eligible expenditure used in the receivable
calculation to the expenditure recorded in the general
ledger;
considering the Group’s history of successful claims;
Agreeing a sample of individual expenditure items included
in the estimate to underlying supporting documentation to
ensure that they have been appropriately recognised in the
accounting records and that they are eligible expenditures;
inspecting copies of relevant correspondence with
AusIndustry and the Australian Tax Office related to the
claims; and
assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the financial
statements.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
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 2019, 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 do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
For personal use only
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our
auditor’s report.
