CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Financial Results 

The overall revenue in the 2017 financial year decreased to 6.9 Million compared to 8.5 Million during the 2016 financial year. The lower overall 

revenue in the year to 30 June 2017 was due to the slowing down in sales of some of our key products used in the industrial market, however, 

the company expects sales from these products to improve in the 2018 financial year. 

Despite  the  decrease  in  sales  in  the  2017  financial  year,  gross  margin  increased  to  59%  compared  to  54%  in  2016  financial  year.  The 

improvement in gross margin was due to the contribution of sales from higher margin products and cost saving on the manufacturing. 

The company has reported a lower profit of $428K in year end of 2017 compared a profit of $1.7 million in year end of 2016. The decrease in 

profit after tax was mainly impacted by a decrease in sales and dilution of profit from a once off expense of $720,000 (Note19) arising from the 

issue of 30 million shares at a price below market value as approved by shareholders on 28  November 2016. However, funds from the share 

issue has provided the company with funding to invest in future growth. 

Although the year 2017 was very challenging to the company, the company continues to look for future growth of market share on the existing 

and emerging electric vehicle charging market and renewable energy technologies industry. We have secured a new manufacturing facility in 

Malaysia; the new manufacturing facility enable us to increase our production capacity for both new and existing customers in coming financial 

year.

Outlook 

We  have  continued  our  solid  commitment  to  R&D  and  are  decisively  investing  in  projects  primarily  targeted  at  emerging  markets.  We  have 

released new products including the RT7e into our legacy markets which has provided a technology platform for the development of the EV DC 

Home Charger and OEM products which have been released into our emerging markets. We believe that as we establish ourselves in these 

emerging markets with the promotion of these products and as the markets themselves mature the volume of the sales for these  products will 

increase in the coming year. We also have worked to improve the performance of our existing products to recover declining sales in our legacy 

markets.

22,010,000 Ordinary Shares, and 1,800,000 unlisted options exercisable at 2c each 

This  report  details  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  each  director  of  Rectifier  Technologies  Ltd  and  other  key  management 

personnel. The Remuneration Report is audited.  

Remuneration Policy 

The  remuneration  policy  of  Rectifier  Technologies  Ltd  has  been  designed  to  align  director  and  executive  objectives  with  shareholder  and 

business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas 

affecting the consolidated entity’s financial results. The Board of Rectifier Technologies Ltd believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate 

and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the consolidated entity, as well as create 

goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders. 

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the consolidated entity 

is as follows: 

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on  the forecast 

growth of the consolidated entity’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance 

criteria.  The  Board  has  discretion  in  relation  to  approving  incentives,  bonuses  and  options.  Any  changes  must  be  justified  by  reference  to 

measurable performance criteria. 

The  policy  is  designed  to  attract  the  highest  calibre  of  executives  and  reward  them  for  performance  that  results  in  long-term  growth  in 

shareholder wealth. 

Executives and Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in the share option arrangements. 

The executive directors and key management personnel receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the Government, which 

is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to 

increase payments towards superannuation.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Should shares be given to directors or 

executives, they would be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. 

Options are valued using an appropriate methodology. 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time,  commitment  and 

responsibilities.  The  Board  determines  payments  to  the  non-executive  directors  and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market 

practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be 

paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not 

linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. 

Performance Based Remuneration 

As part of each executive director and executive’s remuneration package there may be a performance-based component, consisting of key 

performance  indicators  (KPI’s).  The  intention  of  this  program  is  to  facilitate  goal  congruence  between  directors/executives  with  that  of  the 

business  and  shareholders.  Where  applicable,  the  KPI’s  are  set  annually,  with  a  certain  level  of  consultation  with  directors/executives  to 

ensure buy-in. The measures are specifically tailored to the areas each director/executive is involved in and has a level of control over. The 

KPI’s  target  areas  the Board  believes  hold  greater  potential  for  Group  expansion  and  profit,  covering  financial  and  non-financial  as  well  as 

short-term and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry standards. 

Performance in relation to the KPI’s is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the 

KPI’s  achieved.  Following  the  assessment,  the  KPI’s  are  reviewed  by  the  Board  in  light  of  the  desired  and  actual  outcomes,  and  their 

efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPI’s are set for the following year. 

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, Rectifier Technologies Ltd bases the assessment on audited figures, however, where 

the KPI involves comparison of individual performance within the Group, management reports which form the foundation for the Group audited 

results are used.

In February 2016, the current and former directors agreed to accept payment of 15% of fee outstanding ($54,527) and have agreed to forgive

the current and former directors on 30 June 2016. As the director fees were previously included in cash and fees, the amount forgiven in the 

current year has been shown as a negative in 2016 financial year. In November 2015, 20,183,732 ($100,918) shares and 11,643,616 ($58,218) 

shares issued respectively at $0.005 discounted $0.002 below market price to director Mr. Valentino Vescovi and Pudu Investments (Australia)

Shares granted as remuneration 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

30 million shares were issued to the current director/CEO Mr. Yanbin Wang at shares price of $0.004 which was $0.024 below to market price 

of  $0.028  as  approved  by  shareholders  at  AGM  on  28  November  2016.  The  total  discount  expense  of  $720,000  was  recorded  as  shares 

issue expense in 2017 financial year period. 

Remuneration Practices 

The company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members and senior executives of the company is as 

follows: 

The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of factors, including  length of service, 

particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company or  Group. The contracts for service between the 

company and specified directors and executives are on a continuing basis, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate 

future. Upon retirement specified directors and executives are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of retirement. Any options 

issued as remuneration under the Company’s Share Option Plan not exercised before or on the date of termination lapse. 

The  service  contracts  stipulate  a  range  of  one  to  three  month  resignation  periods.  The  company  may  terminate  an  employment  contract 

without  cause  by  providing  up  to  3  months’  written  notice  or  making  payment  in  lieu  of  notice,  based  on  the  individual’s  annual  salary 

component  together  with  an  appropriate  redundancy  payment,  depending  on  the  individual  contract  terms.  Termination  payments  are 

generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious  misconduct, the company can terminate 

employment at any time. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will lapse. 

The commentary above should be read in conjunction with the information provided in the Directors’ Report under Remuneration Policy. 

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration 

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. There have been 

two methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being a performance based bonus which is based on key performance indicators, and the 

second  being  the  issue  of  options  to  the  majority  of  directors  and  executives  to  encourage  the  alignment  of  personal  and  shareholder 

interests. The company believes this policy to be the most effective manner to increase shareholder wealth. 

The following table shows the gross revenue, profits and dividends for the last five years for the listed entity, as well as  the share price at the 

end  of  the  respective  financial  years.  The  loss  in  2013  resulted  from  lower  sales  and  cost  of  restructuring  the  Australian  business.  The 

significant improvement in net profit in 2014 was due to the increase in sales, the lower cost of production offshore, and R&D tax rebate. The 

lower profit in 2015 as result of a once off warranty expense claim which diluted profit, and discontinued RTUK no longer contributed profit to 

the  Group  in  2015  as  it  had  in  2014.  The  full  year  results  for  2016  represented  a  significant  improvement  of  the  company’s  operational 

performance, and resulted from the increase in sales and product margin. The lower overall sales in the year to 30 June 2017 were due to the 

slowing down in sales of some of our key products used in the industrial market, however, the company expects sales from these products to 

improve in the 2018 financial year. The decrease in net profit was mainly impacted by a decrease in sales and dilution of profit from a once off 

expense of $720,000 arising from the issue of 30 million shares at a price below market value as approved by shareholders on  28 November 

2016.

Options Issued as Part of Remuneration 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Options may be issued to executives as part of their remuneration. Such options are generally not issued based on performance criteria, but 

are  issued  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  executives,  directors  and  shareholders  through  the  linkage  between  remuneration  and 

increasing shareholder value. 

Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives 

The employment conditions of the CEO and specified executives are formalised in contracts of employment and all contracts require 4 weeks 

notice, with no termination payments specified other than employee entitlements.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.  

Non-audit Services  

The board of directors, in accordance with advice from the audit committee, review the provision of non-audit services during the year to ensure 

that they are compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the  Corporations Act 2001. The directors satisfy 

themselves that the services do not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons:  

• 

• 

all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect 

the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and  

the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in the Code of 

Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board.   

Details  of  the  amounts  paid  to  the  auditors  of  the  Company,  Grant  Thornton  Audit  Pty  Ltd,  and  its  related  practices  for  audit  and  non-audit 

services provided during the year are set out in Note 8 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

NOTE 1:   

Corporate information 

The financial statements of Rectifier Technologies Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue in accordance with 

a resolution of the directors on 27 September 2017 and covers the consolidated entity consisting of Rectifier Technologies Limited and its 

subsidiaries as required by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

Rectifier  Technologies  Limited  is  a  company  limited  by  shares  and  incorporated  in  Australia,  whose  shares  are  publicly  traded  on  the 

Australian Stock Exchange. 

The address of the registered office and principal place of business is 24 Harker Street, Burwood, Vic 3125, Australia. 

NOTE 2:   

Summary of significant accounting policies 

a.  

Basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 

Standards,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the Australian  Accounting  Standards Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Rectifier 

Technologies Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.  

Compliance  with  IFRS  as  adopted  in  Australia  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the  consolidated  entity  comply  with 

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Historical cost convention 

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  basis,  except  for  available-for-sale  financial  assets  that  have 

been measured at fair value. 

b.  

Basis of Consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

The  Group  financial  statements  consolidate  those  of  the  Rectifier  Technologies  Limited  and  all  of  its  subsidiaries  as  of  30  June  2017. 

Rectifier Technologies Limited controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary 

and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those  returns  through  its  power  over  the  subsidiary.  All  subsidiaries  have  a  reporting  date  of  30  June.  All 

transactions  and  balances  between  Group  companies  are  eliminated  on  consolidation,  including  unrealised  gains  and  losses  on 

transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-Group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying 

asset  is  also  tested  for  impairment  from  a  Group  perspective. Amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  have  been 

adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date 

of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.  

Subsidiaries are accounted for at cost by the parent entity and are included in the balances disclosed in note 27.  

c.  

Income Tax 

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based  on the national income tax rate for 

each  jurisdiction  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to  temporary  differences  between  the  tax  base  of 

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  all  temporary  differences,  between  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  for 

financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities 

settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  which  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  for  each  jurisdiction.  Exceptions  are  made  for  certain 

temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, 

that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  only  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  if  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable 

amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments 

in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 

differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

c.  

Income Tax (Cont’d) 

Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  relating  to  amounts  recognised directly  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly in  equity  are  also 

recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

Tax Consolidation 

Rectifier Technologies Limited and its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation for the whole 

of the financial year. Rectifier Technologies Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated Group. The separate taxpayer within a Group 

approach has been used to allocate current income tax expense and deferred tax expense to wholly-owned subsidiaries that form part of 

the  tax  consolidated  Group.  Rectifier  Technologies  Limited  has  assumed  all  the  current  tax  liabilities  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  arising 

from unused tax losses for the tax consolidated Group via intercompany receivables and payables because a tax funding arrangement has 

been in place for the whole financial year. The amounts receivable/payable under tax funding arrangements are due upon notification by the 

head entity, which is issued soon after the end of each financial year. Interim funding notices may also be issued by the head entity to its 

wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in  order  for  the  head  entity  to  be  able  to  pay  tax  instalments.  These  amounts  are  recognised  as  current 

intercompany receivables or payables (refer to note 25). 

d.  

Inventories 

Raw materials, Work in Progress and Finished goods 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct 

labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs 

are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, 

less the estimated selling cost of completion and selling expenses.  

e.  

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  are  measured  on  the  cost  basis  less  depreciation  and  impairment  losses.  Historical  costs  include  costs  directly 

attributable  to  bringing  the  asset  to  the  location  and  condition  necessary  for  it  to  be  capable  of  operating  in  the  manner  intended  by 

management. Freehold land is not depreciated but is subject to impairment testing if there is any indication of impairment. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it  is probable 

that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other 

repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised leased assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to 

the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter 

of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Leasehold improvements 

Plant and equipment 

Leased plant and equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

10% 

20-40% 

20-33% 

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period. 

An  asset's  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset's  carrying  amount  is  greater  than  its 

estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 

gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

f.  

Leases 

Leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the  Group  has  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as 

finance  leases  and capitalised  at inception  of  the  lease  at  the fair value  of  the  leased  property,  or  if  lower,  at  the  present  value  of  the 

minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  apportioned  between  the  finance  charges  and  reduction  of  the  lease  liability  so  as  to 

achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss  over the lease 

period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. 

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the net asset are classified as operating leases. 

Payments made under operating leases (net of incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis 

over the period of the lease. 

Capital work-in-progress consists of property, plant and equipment for intended use as production facilities. The amount is stated at cost and 

includes  capitalisation  of  interest  incurred  on  borrowings  related  to  property,  plant  and  equipment  under  construction/installation  until  the 

property, plant and equipment are ready for their intended use. 

g.  

Intangibles 

Research and development 

Under AASB 138 Intangible Assets, costs associated with the research phase of the development of an asset must be expensed in the 

period as incurred. 

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the 

following are demonstrated: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 

the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 

the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 

how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 

the  availability  of  adequate  technical,  financial  and  other  resources  to  complete  the  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the 

intangible asset; and 

the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

Expenditure capitalised comprises cost of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate portion of overheads. Other development 

costs are expensed when they are incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any 

impairment  losses  and  amortised  over  the  period  of  expected  future  sales  from the  related  projects.  The  carrying  value  of  development 

costs is reviewed annually when the asset is not yet available for use, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value 

may be impaired. 

h.  

Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that individual assets have been impaired. 

Where  impairment  indicators  exist,  recoverable  amount  is  determined  and  impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  where  the 

asset's  carrying  value  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  Recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset's  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and 

value in use. For the purpose of assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-

tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 

Where it is not possible to estimate recoverable amount for an individual asset, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating 

unit to which the asset belongs.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d) 

i.  

Investments and Other Financial Assets 

All  investments  and  other  financial  assets  are  initially  stated  at  cost,  being  the  fair  value  of  consideration  given  plus  acquisition  costs. 

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date which is the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the 

asset.  

Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial  assets  comprise  investments in  listed  and  unlisted  entities  and  any  non-derivatives  that  are  not classified as 

any other category of financial assets, and are classified as non-current assets (unless management intends to dispose of the investment 

within 12 months of the end of the reporting period). After initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value with gains or 

losses  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  (available-for-sale  investments  revaluation  reserve).  Where  there  is  a  significant  or 

prolonged  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  an  available  for  sale  financial  asset  (which  constitutes  objective  evidence  of  impairment)  the  full 

amount including any amount previously charged to other comprehensive income, is recognised in profit or loss. Purchases and sales of 

available for sale financial assets are recognised on settlement date with any change in fair value between trade date and settlement date 

being  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income.  On  sale  the  amount  held  in  available  for  sale  reserves  associated  with  that  asset  is 

recognised in profit or loss.  

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as described in 

note  1(b)  and  in  the  parent  entity  financial  information  at  cost  in  accordance  with  the  cost  alternative  permitted  in  separate  financial 

statements under AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. 

Reversals of impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale cannot be reversed through profit or loss. Reversals 

of impairment losses on debt instruments classified as available-for-sale can be reversed through profit or loss where the reversal relates 

to an increase in the fair value of the debt instrument occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss. 

The fair value of quoted investments are determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business at 

the end of the reporting period. For investments where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current 

market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net 

asset base of the investment. 

Loans and receivables 

Non-current loans and receivables include loans due from related parties repayable within 365 days of end of reporting period. As these 

are non-interest bearing, fair value at initial recognition requires an adjustment to discount these loans using a market-rate of interest for a 

similar instrument with a similar credit rating. The discount is debited on initial recognition to the investment account. 

Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the investment's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future 

cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the investment's original effective 

interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. 

j.  

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

The functional and presentation currency of Rectifier Technologies Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($AUD). 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  ruling  at  the  date  of  the  transaction. 

Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign currencies  are  retranslated  at the  rate  of  exchange  ruling  at the  end  of  reporting 

period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settling foreign currency transactions, as well as from restating foreign currency 

denominated  monetary  assets  and  liabilities,  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  except  when  they  are  deferred  in  other  comprehensive 

income as qualifying cash flow hedges or where they relate to differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a 

net investment in a foreign entity. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates 

at the date when fair value was determined.

j.  

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances (Cont’d) 

The  functional currency  of the  overseas  subsidiaries  is  the  Malaysian  ringgit  and the  US  dollars.  At the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  the 

assets and liabilities of these overseas subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Rectifier Technologies Limited at the 

closing rate at the end of the reporting period and income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the 

year.  All  resulting  exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  as  a  separate  component  of  equity  (foreign 

currency  translation  reserve).  On  disposal  of  a  foreign  entity,  the  cumulative  exchange  differences  recognised  in  foreign  currency 

translation reserves relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. 

k.  

Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of  the reporting 

period. Benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave are recognised 

when  it  is  probable  that  settlement  will  be  required  and  the  liability  is  capable  of  being  measured  reliably.  Employee  benefits  that  are 

expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related 

on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to 

be made for those benefits. 

Long Service Leave 

Liabilities  for  long  service  leave  are  recognised  as  part  of  the  provision  for  employee  benefits  and  measured  as  the  present  value  of 

expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees to the end of reporting period using the projected unit 

credit  method.  Consideration  is  given  to  expect  future  salaries  and  wages  levels,  experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of 

service. Expected future payments are discounted using high quality corporate bonds rates at the end of the reporting period with terms to 

maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

l.  

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an 

outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, 

provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the 

time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 

m. 

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at call, net of any 

bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of  cash, which 

are not subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. 

n.  

Trade receivables 

Trade  receivables  are  recognised  at  original  invoice  amounts  less  an  allowance  for  uncollectible  amounts  and  have  repayment  terms 

between 30 and 90 days. Collectability of trade receivables is assessed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible 

are  written  off.  An  allowance  is made  for  doubtful  debts  where  there  is  objective  evidence that the Group  will  not  be  able  to  collect all 

amounts  due  according  to  the  original  terms.  Objective  evidence  of  impairment  includes  financial  difficulties  of  the  debtor,  default 

payments or debts more than 90 days overdue. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectible the gross carrying value of 

the asset is written off against the associated provision. From time to time, the Group elects to renegotiate the terms of trade receivables 

due  from  customers  with  which  it  has  previously  had  a  good  trading  history.  Such  renegotiations  will  lead  to  changes  in  the  timing  of 

payments rather than changes to the amounts owed and are not, in the view of the directors, sufficient to require the derecognition of the 

original instrument. 

Trade receivable are recognised gross of any debtor financing facility used.

o.  

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade 

allowances and duties and taxes paid. 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and can be 

reliably measured. Risks and rewards are considered passed to buyer when goods have been delivered to the customer. 

Revenue from product licensing is recognised on the transfer of intellectual property in accordance with contractual obligations. 

Royalties are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the agreement. 

Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. 

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  as  interest  accrues  using the  effective  interest method.  The  effective interest method  uses  the  effective 

interest  rate  which  is  the  rate that  exactly  discounts  the  estimated future cash  receipts  over  the  expected life  of  the financial  asset. All 

revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 

R&D rebates are recognised on an accrual basis as other income once the amount can be reliably estimated. 

p.  

Trade and other Payables 

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the  Group prior to the year end and which are unpaid. 

These amounts are unsecured and have 30-60 day payment terms. 

q. 

Interest-bearing liabilities 

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at 

amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss 

over the period of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method. 

All borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 

12 months after the end of the reporting period. 

r.  

Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that it is required to complete 

and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred. 

s.  

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from 

the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  with  the  amount  of  GST  included.  The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the 

taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and 

financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. 

t.  

New accounting standards and interpretations 

The following new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory as at 30

New accounting standards and interpretations (Cont’d) 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions 

of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace AASB139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces 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  solely 

principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be 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) 

in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, 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 will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under 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. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 

1  January  2018.  The  company  has  made  a  preliminary  assessment  of  the  changes  and  does  not  expect  any  material  impact  on 

implementation other than a reclassification of AFS financial assets to fair value through OCI. There are no AFS financial assets to the 

Company on 30 June 2017. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for 

revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or 

services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods 

or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance 

obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the 

transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, 

or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. 

Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be 

satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been 

provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select 

an  appropriate  measure  of  progress  to  determine  how  much  revenue  should  be  recognised  as  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied. 

Contracts  with  customers  will  be  presented  in  an  entity's  statement  of  financial  position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a 

receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's  performance  and  the  customer's  payment.  Sufficient  quantitative  and 

qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying 

the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated 

entity will adopt this standard from 1 January 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. 

AASB 16 Leases 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' 

and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be 

capitalised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position, measured  as  the present  value  of  the  unavoidable future  lease  payments to  be made 

over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal 

computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease 

payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for 

lease  prepayments,  lease  incentives  received,  initial  direct  costs  incurred  and  an  estimate  of  any  future  restoration,  removal  or 

dismantling  costs.  Straight-line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  will  be  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  leased  asset 

(included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs).

New accounting standards and interpretations (Cont’d) 

In  the  earlier  periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 

expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as 

the  operating  expense  is  replaced  by  interest  expense  and  depreciation  in  profit  or  loss  under  AASB  16.  For  classification  within  the 

statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or 

financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for  leases. The 

consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated. 

u.  

Fair values 

Fair values may be used for financial asset and liability measurement and as well as for sundry disclosures. 

Fair  values  for  financial  instruments  traded  in  active  markets  are  based  on  quoted  market  prices  at  the  end  of  reporting  period.  The 

quoted market price for financial assets is the current bid price. 

The  fair  value  of financial  instruments that  are  not traded  in  an  active market  are  determined  using valuation  techniques.  Assumptions 

used  are  based  on  observable  market  prices  and  rates  at  the  end  of  reporting  period.  The  fair  value  of  long-term  debt  instruments  is 

determined using quoted market prices for similar instruments. Estimated discounted cash flows are used to determine fair value of the 

remaining financial instruments.  

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their 

short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows 

at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. 

v.  

Share capital 

Financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. 

The  company’s  ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity  instruments.  Equity  instruments  issued  by  the  company  are  recorded  at  the 

proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 

w. 

Share-based payments 

Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  employees  via  the  Rectifier  Technologies  Limited  Employee  Option  Plan  and  an 

employee share scheme. 

The fair value of options granted under the Rectifier Technologies Limited Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit 

expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which 

the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.  

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Monte-Carlo Simulation 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. The fair value of the options granted is adjusted 

to  reflect  market  vesting  conditions,  but  excludes  the  impact  of  any  non-market  vesting  conditions  (for  example,  profitability  and  sales 

growth  targets).  Non-market  vesting  conditions  are  included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options that  are  expected  to  become 

exercisable.  The  employee  benefit  expense  recognised  each  period  takes  into  account  the  most  recent  estimate.  The  impact  of  the 

revision to the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding  adjustment to equity.  

Under the employee share scheme, shares issued to employees for no cash consideration vest immediately on grant date. On this date, 

the market value of the shares issued is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity.

NOTE 2:   

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d) 

x.  

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards 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 

consolidated  entity  makes  certain  judgements  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.  These  estimates  and  assumptions  have  an 

inherent risk in respect of estimates based on future events which could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities in the next 

financial year are outlined below: 

1. 

Provision for stock obsolescence 

The Group calculates the provision for stock obsolescence based on slow-moving inventory on hand for more than 12 months. 

2. 

R & D tax rebate 

The Group has recognised the R&D rebate relating to the 2017 year on an accrual basis. As the return has not yet been submitted, the 

Group has made an estimate of the likely refund amount based on past history of successful claims. 

3. 

Taxation 

The Group has significant transactions between the Australian and Malaysian subsidiary and significant judgment involved in determining 

the transfer price of goods and services exchanged. Management believe the prices exchange are determined on a fair and reasonable 

basis and reflect an appropriate basis under the tax legislation of Australia and Malaysia. 

4.              Share-based payment transactions 

The  consolidated  entity  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  Monte Carlo  Simulation model taking  into 

account 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. 

y.  

Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to members of Rectifier Technologies Limited, adjusted for 

the after-tax effect of preference dividends on preference shares classified as equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 

outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares during the year. The weighted average number of 

issued  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year  does  not  include  shares  issued  as  part  of the Employee  Share  Loan  Plan  that are 

treated as in-substance options. 

Diluted earnings per share 

Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings by the after-tax effect of dividends 

and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares used is adjusted for the weighted 

average  number  of  ordinary  shares  that  would  be  issued  on  the  conversion  of  all  the  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  into  ordinary 

shares.

b. Nature and purpose of reserves  

The  foreign  currency  translation  reserve  is  used  to  record  exchange  differences  on  translation  of  foreign  controlled  subsidiaries.  The 

reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the investment is disposed of. 

c. Options 

At 30 June 2017, there were 21,640,000 (2016: 23,400,000) options outstanding. 

d. Capital risk management 

The Group's and the Parent Entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so 

that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure 

to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the  Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to 

shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

Consistently  with  others  in  the  industry,  the  Group  and  the  parent  entity  monitor  capital  on  the  basis  of  the  gearing  ratio.  This  ratio  is 

calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is 

calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt.

In common with all other businesses, the Group and the Parent Entity are exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. 

This  note  describes  the  Group  and  the  parent  entity’s  objectives,  policies  and  processes  from  managing  those  risks  and  the  methods 

used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. 

There  have  been  no  substantive  changes  in  the  Group  and  the  Parent  Entity’s  exposure  to  financial  instrument  risks,  its  objectives, 

policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in 

this note. 

a.  

Principal financial instruments 

The principal financial instruments used by the Group and the parent entity, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

trade and other receivables 

cash and cash equivalents 

lease liabilities 

trade and other payables 

loans from related parties 

b.  

General objectives, policies and processes 

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the  Group and the parent entity’s risk management objectives  and policies 

and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes  that ensure the 

effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group and the parent entity’s finance function. The Board receives monthly 

reports from the Chief Financial Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness 

of the objectives and policies it sets. 

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the  Group and the 

parent entity’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

NOTE 26: 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK EXPOSURE AND MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) 

i.  

Credit risk 

Credit risk arises principally from the Group and the Parent Entity’s trade receivables. It is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge 

its obligation in respect of the instrument. 

Prior to accepting new customers, a credit check is obtained from a reputable external source. Based on this information, credit limits and 

payment  terms  are  established.  Customers  who  subsequently  fail  to  meet  their  credit  terms  are  required  to  make  purchases  on  a 

prepayments basis until creditworthiness can be re-established. 

The nature of the Group and the parent entity’s operations means that approximately 88% (2016: 85%) of its sales are made to  9 (2016: 

11)  key  customers  in  Australia,  Malaysia  and  America.  Whilst  credit  risk  is  mainly  influenced  by  factors  specific  to  these  individual 

customers, the concentration of sales geographically is a contributory factor. Refer to note 11 for further information regarding the Group’s 

credit risk.                         

ii.  

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  Group  and  the  Parent  Entity’s  management  of  working  capital  and  the  finance  charges  and  principal 

repayments  on  its  debt  instruments.  It  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  and  the  parent  entity  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  its  financial 

obligations as they fall due. The Group and the parent entity aim to have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become 

due. The Group and the parent entity do not have any undrawn standby credit arrangements available. Refer to note 23(b).  

The Board receives cash flow projections monthly as well as information regarding cash balances. Refer to maturity analysis in note 17. 

iii.  

Market risk 

Market risk arises from the Group and the parent entity’s use of interest bearing and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk 

that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  because  of  changes  in  interest  rates  (interest  rate  risk), 

foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). 

iv.  

Interest rate risk 

The  consolidated  entity's  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk,  which  is  the  risk  that  a  financial  instrument's  value  will  fluctuate  as  a  result  of 

changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is 

as follows:

NOTE 26: 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK EXPOSURE AND MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) 

The Group and the parent entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to cash balances and the debtor financing facility, as these are at 

a floating rate. Interest rates on loan and lease liabilities are fixed. 

The Group’s profit and loss sensitivity and movement in the interest rates are as follows:

The  only currency  where  receivables  are  not  denominated in  their  functional  currency  is  US  dollars  (USD).  Cash  balances  in  USD  are 

kept at levels only sufficient to pay the amounts owing. Since the local sales in Malaysia are made by foreign operations in their individual 

functional currencies, there  is  no direct foreign currency  risk  exposure  involved.  The  Group  and the parent  entity’s  exposure  to foreign 

currency risk is primarily its exposure to trade receivables denominated in USD. The total exposure to foreign currency risk  at 30 June 

2017 was as follows: Receivables in USD totalled USD$435,045 and payables totalled USD$84,821.

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.   

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Recognition of R&D tax incentive (Note 3 and 11) 

Under the research and development (R&D) Tax 
incentive scheme, the Group receives a 43.5% 
refundable tax offset of 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 
engaged an expert to perform a detailed review of the 
Group’s total research and development expenditure 
to determine the potential claim under the R&D tax 
incentive legislation. 

The estimated amount receivable at year end for the 
incentive was $500,000 which has been recognised 
in other debtors. 

We determined the R&D tax incentive to be a Key 
Audit Matter due to the size of the receivable and the 
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. 

Inventory Valuation (Note 12) 

Due to the nature of the electronic componentry 
required for manufacture and parts, the Group has a 
number of slow moving inventory lines.  There is a 
risk that some inventory lines are obsolete and 
therefore that the Company may not value inventory 
at the lower of cost or net realisable value in 
accordance with AASB 102 Inventories. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the level of 
management judgement required in determining the  
provision for inventory obsolescence. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

(cid:120)  obtaining the completed  R&D tax estimate from 

management’s experts; 

(cid:120)  assessing the competence, capabilities and 

objectivity of experts used by management to 
assist in determining the quantum of the R&D 
receivable at 30 June 2017;  
comparing the estimates made in the previous 
year to the amount of cash actually received after 
lodgement of the R&D tax claim; 
comparing the methodology and nature of the 
R&D expenditure included in the current year 
estimate to the prior year estimate; 
comparing the eligible expenditure used in the 
estimate to the expenditure recorded in the 
general ledger; 
inspecting copies of relevant correspondence 
with AusIndustry and the ATO related to the 
claims history; and 
reviewing relevant disclosures in the financial 
statements.

(cid:120) 

Our procedures included, amongst others; 
• 

Discussing with management to obtain an 
understanding of their process for calculating the 
inventory provision and considering for 
compliance with AASB 102 requirements; 
Selecting a sample of inventory items and: 
1) 

for inventory sold in the last 12 months or 
post year end, tracing to sales invoice and 
agreeing that the selling price exceeded 
the item’s cost; 
for items not sold in the last 12 months, 
considering whether these were included 
in the provision for inventory 
obsolescence;  

2) 

Analysing any inventory items with no movement 
in the last 12 months and considering whether 
they should be included in the inventory 
provision; 
Considering whether any other factors might 
indicate that inventory items would require a 
provision to write down to net realisable value, 
such as any discontinued lines; and 
Reviewing related financial statement 
disclosures.

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 period ended 30 June 2017, 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.  

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group to continue 

as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going 

concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 

operations, or 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.
