Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Fellow Shareholder, 

Welcome to the 2019 Annual Report for SenSen Networks Limited (ASX: SNS), reflecting on our Company’s first 
full financial year listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. After making strategic investments to establish a 
solid foundation in the prior 12 months, this year saw us expand internationally, diversify revenue streams and 
commercialise new product lines while maintaining revenue momentum.  

Significant investments were made into: 

  People – We acquired key sales and marketing talent within both industry verticals, Smart Cities and Retail 
& Leisure. A new IT security manager was also hired to achieve best-practice global compliance in this 
exacting field where we have become a leader. 

  Global marketing and sales – We were present at 12 international industry conferences and expos, 

averaging one per month, to demonstrate and promote SenSen technology and products.  

  Patents – We filed international patents in both market verticals to enhance our IP vault. 
  New sales and distribution channels – We recruited six new distribution channels within the Smart Cities 

vertical and three new distribution channels within the Retail & Leisure vertical. 

  Security – Against the backdrop of increasing security risks worldwide, we invested significantly into 

building a robust IT and R&D framework that is best of breed. It’s our way of future proofing the company - 
systems and processes that meet rigorous SOC2 compliance standards that are increasingly demanded by 
government and enterprise customers. 

  New Products - New product lines were introduced in the Smart City vertical: 

o  Gemineye: The world’s first AI-powered smartphone app invented by SenSen offers governments, 

councils and cities around the world an affordable, highly accurate, cloud-based Smart City 
platform in the palm of their hands. Gemineye represents a strongly scalable revenue stream 
which is entirely complementary to our existing business divisions. 

o  AI-FARM: An artificial intelligence-based False Alarm Reduction and Management solution can be 
applied wherever video analytic systems generate an overwhelming number of responses (which is 
often). Brisbane City Council was the first to jump on board using AI-FARM to make sense of many 
thousands of false captures made by its fleet of illegal dumping detection cameras. On the back of 
successfully completed POCs for international customers to filter out false alarms generated by 
incident detection cameras; we expect to see additional revenue stream from this solution. 

o  Automated Privacy Masking: To protect personal privacy in images and video streams, customers 
asked us whether it is possible to mask faces and irrelevant license plates. In response, our R&D 
team developed an Automated Privacy Masking add-on to enforcement solutions which we 
launched this year,  completing several POCs and signing up Calgary Parking Authority (Canada) 
as the first customer. We are now taking enquiries from enforcement agencies worldwide.  

The following product developments were introduced to the SenGAME suite of products in the  
Retail & Leisure vertical: 

o  Card Recognition: Recognising cards is essential to track games and analyse outcomes. By 

applying advances in deep learning-based AI, this year we developed software to accurately read 
cards in highly uncontrolled and dynamically changing live environments. 

o  Cash Recognition: Recognising cash is essential to track and send alerts for potential money 
laundering. By applying advances in deep learning-based AI, our software is now able to 
accurately read currency denominations around the table in highly variable live environments.

Chairman’s Letter 

We are delighted to report continued and growing support from existing customers, not just in Australia but in key 
international markets as well. Brisbane, Calgary and Singapore all placed new orders during the year. A 
partnership with Australian distribution channel Duncan Solutions is paying off with new city council customers at 
Cairns and Gold Coast. 

We opened a potentially significant market segment of tolling by undertaking successful trials of our new video 
tolling solution with Transurban Group on the CityLink toll road system in Melbourne, which we are gearing up to 
replicate on a Transurban toll road in Montreal, Canada. 

Our Retail & Leisure vertical, driven by our casino gaming solution, has vast potential and our efforts to grow 
awareness and build a recognisable brand continue to stimulate new demand. PoCs and trials are demonstrating 
the potential of this business division. With an addressable market of more than 50,000 gaming tables across 1,300 
casinos globally, SenSen is aiming to deploy our real-time game and player analytics to 10,000 gaming tables 
within the next three years, generating monthly high-margin Software as a Service (“SaaS”) revenue.  

Our achievements have been noticed. We fielded a number of requests – and selected the most influential 
opportunities – to be keynote speaker or join industry panels at events influencing the future direction of both Smart 
City and Retail & Leisure industry verticals. 

Most pleasingly, in line with our strategic objectives recurring revenue grew more than 150% during the year to 
reach ~A$1.5 million. Coupled with the pipeline of new clients and our R&D achievements, we ended the year even 
more focused on growing further into a global technology leader. 

We have a clear vision of what we want to achieve for the future of SenSen Networks, and I look forward to leading 
our Company as it executes on this strategy in FY20.  

I would like to thank SenSen’s shareholders who continue to support and believe in our Company. I also thank my 
fellow Board members for their contributions during the year, and our staff and management for the efforts they 
delivered in FY19.  

I hope you will continue to share this journey with us.

Executive Chairman and CEO

Review of Operations and Activities 

To be read in conjunction with the attached Financial Report.  

Strategically, the Group pursued an aggressive growth strategy to expand internationally, diversify revenue 
streams and commercialise new product lines while maintaining revenue momentum. 

Financially, the result was solid. The Group achieved a revenue result of $3.73 million for financial year 2019. 
While marginally down by ~8% on the 2018 full-year result of $4.05 million, this is due to longer-than-expected 
timelines for the awarding of new government and Council contracts that will be recognised in the next period. 

The majority of revenue this year came from the Smart Cities sector where the Group deals with very large 
government and private sector institutions.  As such, the timing of contracts and revenue can be delayed due to 
the comprehensive due diligence and operational process required to transact with these types of clients.  

The Group’s net loss after tax was $5,277,798 (2018: Loss of $9,220,416). The loss for the year included an 
income tax charge of $136,528 (2018: income tax benefit of $66,892) and a non-cash share-based payment 
expense of $1,287,967(2018: $2,019,099). 

The Loss for the year is down on the 2018 result due to large on-off items in 2018 related to the reverse takeover 
and listing of the Company in October 2017.  Operational expenditure increased in line with the growth plans 
outlined below. 

The Group has undertaken significant business development and marketing activities during the year and, as a 
result has a strong pipeline of prospects across both the Smart Cities and Retail & Leisure sectors. 

The Group also continued to grow its operational infrastructure with a number of key hires during the year 
including new representatives in Asia and the US.  The group now has over 80 employees and contractors 
across multiple locations in Australia, India, Singapore and the US. 

Intelligent Transport Systems and Smart Cities 

In November 2018, SenSen signed two new parking agreements with the Calgary Parking Authority (CPA) for 
Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) at car park entrances and exits at the Alberta Trading Bank and the YMCA in 
Calgary, Canada. These were the Company’s first non-Government contracts won as a result of the partnership 
between SenSen and the CPA formed in September 2017 and expanded in March 2018.  

In addition, SenSen continued to participate in numerous Proof of Concept (POC) trials and tender processes in 
jurisdictions around the world, both directly and through its channel partners such as the CPA.   

In April 2019, SenSen announced it had secured a deal to supply its fully automated parking enforcement solution 
to Cairns Regional Council, in conjunction with its distribution partner Duncan Solutions, an Australian-owned 
company providing smart integrated parking solutions.  Commencing in early June 2019, the contract with Cairns 
Regional Council covers the Council’s purchase of a SenFORCE mobile parking enforcement unit with upfront 
revenue for the systems, software and commissioning, and fees for the year one software licence and maintenance 
services.   

In June 2019, SenSen announced it had secured a deal to supply an automated parking enforcement solution to 
the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, again in conjunction with its distribution partner Duncan Solutions.  SenSen’s 
contract with the City of Gold Coast included the City’s purchase of an initial two SenFORCE mobile parking 
enforcement units, with upfront revenue for the systems, software and commissioning of the units, with the contract 
term commencing in June.  SenSen will earn annual recurring revenues and fees for the software licence, 
maintenance and support services, under the three-year term of the contract.

Review of Operations and Activities 

City of Gold Coast parking inspectors are using SenFORCE across the municipality to improve safety in school 
zones as well as parking space availability and congestion.   

SenSen also received orders to supply two additional fully automated parking enforcement units to Brisbane City 
Council (“BCC”) under its existing “Suburban Safety Mobile Technology Solution” (SSMT) contract with BCC.  
SenSen supplied the additional services to BCC, including two SenFORCE units, and will earn upfront revenue for 
the systems, software and commissioning of the units as well as annual recurring revenues under the contract. This 
expands SenSen’s existing multi-year contract with BCC, Australia’s largest council, to provide a range of solutions 
relating to suburban safety mobile technology.   

SenSen successfully completed a six-month trial of a new video tolling solution on Melbourne’s CityLink toll road 
(which is operated by the Transurban Group) and is engaged in further trials of this technology on Transurban’s toll 
road in Montreal, Canada, to evaluate applicability in global and more challenging settings. 

Post year-end, SenSen announced it had received a new order to supply software maintenance services for an 
additional 78 cameras monitoring illegal parking activities in Singapore’s CBD. SenSen already provides software 
maintenance services for 258 cameras in the Singapore CBD to ATT Systems Group (“ATT”) and the additional 
order brings the total number of cameras under software maintenance to 336.    

ATT, a long-term channel partner for SenSen in Singapore, is a regional systems integrator which provides a one-
stop solution service that delivers intelligent customised systems for government and commercial clients. The 
additional services are to be supplied by SenSen for an initial period of six months, commencing 1 October 2019. 
SenSen will earn additional monthly Software as a Service revenue under the maintenance contract.  

Launch of Gemineye 

In March, SenSen announced the launch of the world’s first AI-powered smartphone app Gemineye, which offers 
governments, councils and cities worldwide an affordable, highly accurate, cloud-based smart city platform in the 
palm of their hands.   

Gemineye is designed to power the future of Smart Cities by making operations related to civic compliance, asset 
management, traffic data collection and analysis, security and surveillance more affordable, accessible and 
versatile. The app does so by utilising its proprietary AI-powered process automation software, which can pull 
information from video and sensors within the smartphone to turn labour-intensive Smart City operations into 
automated processes.   

SenSen released an introductory video showing Gemineye in action. The video is available to view at 
www.sensennetworks.com/Gemineye    

The two core services (parking enforcement, real-time illegal dumping detection) are just the start for Gemineye.  

Early trials with Gemineye by one of the largest city councils in Australia saw more than 1,000 illegal dumping 
incidents occur in just one location over a six-month period. Using Gemineye, the council was able to determine 
when items are most likely to be dumped in terms of which day and month, and what time of day. Armed with such 
information, local government authorities can adjust monitoring times, staffing levels and collection rates.  

In April, SenSen announced it had commenced trials in Thailand as part of a Distribution Agreement with Thailand 
Smart City and environmental services company EVF (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“EVF”). SenSen and EVF are 
collaborating initially on two separate Gemineye trials for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Royal 
Thailand Police.  The Distribution Agreement allows for EVF to implement SenSen’s software in its clients’ 
operations throughout Thailand and SenSen will earn a combination of up-front system sales, software licensing 
and commissioning, as well as recurring SaaS revenue and maintenance fees.

Review of Operations and Activities 

As in many Asian cities, driving and parking congestion is a major problem for Bangkok, which is reportedly the 
worst city for traffic congestion in South East Asia.  The two initial trials in Bangkok used Gemineye to analyse Thai 
motor vehicle and motorcycle licence plates to detect illegal driving on footpaths and enforce regulation to minimise 
accidents and fatalities. Commercial rollout of these use cases is expected in FY20. 

At year end, SenSen had a pipeline of more than 40 qualified opportunities across the world interested in trialling 
the technology.  Ongoing Gemineye technical development work has enhanced the app’s functionality.  
Additionally, several third-party integrations have been completed, driven by client demand. 

Smart Cities conferences and events 

In September 2018, SenSen won the “Best in Show” award for an impressive conference display at the Canadian 
Parking Association Conference and Trade Show in Toronto. The Conference featured Artificial Intelligence (AI) 
and machine learning as a key theme in the future of parking, and SenSen’s leadership in this area generated 
several highly prospective opportunities for the Company, including in Toronto, Canada’s largest city, where 
multiple projects are currently being considered by the government authority. 

The SenSen ITS team also attended the US National Parking Association Convention & Expo in late October, held 
in Las Vegas, Nevada, and met with potential system integrator partners whose customers include universities, 
airports and municipal governments across the US. 

In early November 2018, SenSen showcased its parking software solutions at the PACE 2018 Parking Australia 
Conference at the Gold Coast, Queensland. This generated trials of SenSen’s parking operations technology by 13 
municipal and business organisations. 

SenSen also attended the Gulf Traffic 2018 Conference in Dubai in early December 2018. Gulf Traffic is the UAE’s 
largest traffic and transport technology exhibition. SenSen met with government representatives and businesses 
attending from many of the Emirates at the Conference. Interest generated at the conference led to various trials 
covering parking guidance and enforcement solutions within the region targeting customers in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu 
Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. 

The Company also participated at the Parking Industry Expo in Chicago in March 2019. This annual US conference 
is attended by over 1,000 delegates and addresses the parking needs and provides solutions for municipalities, 
university and hospital campus parking, shopping and business development, and commercial parking operations. 

Retail and Leisure 

In September 2018, SenSen executed a Distribution Agreement to market SenSen’s Gaming software solution to 
Cammegh’s customer base. The agreement envisaged initially rolling out SenSen’s Gaming solution in a 
prestigious United Kingdom casino operation, ahead of a broader marketing and sales distribution agreement.  

For casino owners and managers, SenSen allows them to accurately know table occupancy, hands dealt per hour, 
bet types and bet values across an entire gaming floor.  

In October 2018, SenSen announced it had executed a Distribution Agreement with eConnect Global (“eConnect”) 
to market SenSen’s Gaming software solution to eConnect’s customer base. The agreement envisaged rolling out 
SenSen’s Gaming solution in an initial casino operation, ahead of a broader marketing and sales distribution 
agreement.  Areas where SenSen can help include fraud detection and prevention, optimising operations and 
improving the guest experience in casinos. SenSen’s agreement with eConnect incorporates a monthly payment 
model.

Review of Operations and Activities 

Building on the Distribution Agreement, in February SenSen executed a Value-Added Reseller Agreement (‘VAR”) 
with eConnect to market SenSen’s SenGAME software solution to eConnect’s customer base targeting North 
American and Asia Pacific casinos.    

SenSen also commenced project implementation work for SenGAME deployments in one of Macau’s leading 
casino groups in April. 

SenSen attended the 2018 Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas in September, where delegates experienced 
SenSen’s Gaming solution in operation firsthand. The Company was pleased to have SenSen’s Gaming solution 
also showcased by several other booths, including Cammegh Limited, eConnect and NASDAQ-listed gaming 
industry leader Scientific Games. This has prompted many enquiries about SenSen’s Gaming solution since G2E 
and has led to trials in casinos in the UK, Macau, Australia and the Philippines.  

In late December 2018, SenSen commenced pre-POC trial activities for a casino in Canada and in the USA, aiming 
to attract its first direct customers in the North American market.  

In April 2019, SenSen participated at G2E Asia in Macau, the world’s largest B2B gathering of the Asian gaming-
entertainment industry, which attracts the industry’s top buyers and suppliers each year.  

In addition to showcasing SenGAME 3.0’s standard features including real-time table occupancy, hands dealt per 
hour, bet types and bet values across the gaming floor, the SenSen Gaming team also demonstrated unique new 
features being tested by SenSen. These include bet assignment to individual players, as well as real-time cash 
recognition and playing card recognition using AI and machine learning enhancements. 

The Company’s participation at G2E grew SenSen’s customer opportunity pipeline from about 30 in early May to 
more than 70 opportunities by the beginning of FY20, including 15 in North America and 25 in Asia. To convert this 
pipeline, SenSen’s Gaming team has been following up potential new customers to implement PoC trials as well as 
existing casino leads seeking more rapid deployments of the SenSen gaming solution. 

In June 2019, SenSen announced it had received a report from Gaming Laboratories International LLC (“GLI”), 
after the gaming industry leader in testing and certification conducted an evaluation of the SenGAME 3.0 Business 
Intelligence System. The purpose of the evaluation was to attest that the system performs as indicated and that 
there is no impact on the statistical outcome of the game the system is installed upon. The GLI evaluation was 
performed at Adelaide Casino, Australia, and confirmed the accuracy of SenSen’s gaming solution.   

With an addressable market of more than 50,000 gaming tables across 1,300 casinos globally, SenSen is aiming to 
deploy its real-time game and player analytics to 10,000 gaming tables within the next three years, generating 
monthly high-margin SaaS revenue for the Company.  

SenSen aims to boost SenGAME adoption through:   
-  Direct engagement with casino groups;   
-  Value-added resellers where SenGAME is embedded into reseller technology platforms; and 
-  Distributor arrangements.

Corporate 

Board and Management Appointments 

SenSen appointed Heather Scheibenstock, GAICD, as an independent non-executive director, in September 2018. 
Ms Scheibenstock has more than 25 years’ experience within the gaming and hospitality industries specialising in 
strategic planning, business development, stakeholder engagement and offshore growth.  

SenSen also made key executive appointments to lead sales and marketing, strategy and business development in 
SenSen’s ITS business vertical, appointing Michael Doherty as Director, ITS Sales & Marketing, and Peter Wells as 
Director, ITS Strategy & Business Development. 

In November, SenSen appointed Ainslie Stevens as Gaming Business Development Manager to drive marketing 
and business development in SenSen’s Gaming business vertical. 

Cost efficiencies 

Due to longer than expected timelines for the awarding of new government and Council contracts following tender 
processes and trials, several anticipated positive financial outcomes for SenSen have shifted from FY19 to 
anticipated completion in FY20.  

SenSen’s Board undertook measures to responsibly manage the Company’s operational efficiency by strategically 
reducing the monthly cost structure, and this resulted in savings from budget of more than A$100,000 per month 
from 1 March up until 30 June 2019. As part of this, the Board and Executive team agreed to 20% salary package 
reductions in the form of deferred remuneration until the end FY19, which will then be reimbursed by cash or equity 
at the Board’s election. 

With a large number of qualified new opportunities in the pipeline across its business verticals, SenSen holds a 
positive outlook regarding its capacity to rapidly grow its customer base. As every new contract adds to SenSen's 
recurrent revenue stream, the Company intends to deliver more value to customers as well as investors as its 
continual growth makes cities smarter and enterprises more efficient.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

The Company Secretary is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Board's procedures and for advising the 
Board, through the chairman, on all governance matters. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the 
Company Secretary, whose appointment and removal is a matter for the Board. 

David Smith remains the Company Secretary. 

Recommendation 1.5 

A listed entity should: 
(a) have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the Board or a relevant committee of the Board to set 
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s 
progress in achieving them; 
(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it; and 
(c) disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by 
the Board or a relevant committee of the Board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress 
towards achieving them, and either:  

(1) the respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole 
organisation (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or 
(2) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender 
Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under that Act. 

Disclosure and Departure 

While the Company values diversity and recognises the benefits, it can bring to the organisation’s ability to achieve 
its goals, no decision has been made by the Board at this time to formulate a diversity policy. 

The  Board  has not yet  established objectives in  relation  to  gender  diversity  but  is  committed to  a  continuation  of 
current employment practices where employees are selected on merit. The aim is to achieve greater gender diversity 
in  director  and  senior  executive  positions  as  they  become  vacant  and  appropriately  skilled  candidates  become 
available. 

Recommendation 1.6 

A listed entity should: 
(a)  have  and  disclose  a  process  for  periodically  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees  and 
individual Directors; and 
(b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting 
period in accordance with that process 

Disclosure and Departure 

The  Board  currently  has  no  formal  procedure  for  evaluation  of  its  Board,  committee  and  Directors.  The  Board 
considers that it is functioning effectively given its composition and a formal procedure is not required at this stage. 
While  no  formal  performance  evaluation  was  undertaken  during  the  reporting  period,  the  Chairman  continually 
monitors the performance of the Board. 

Selection and re-appointment of Directors candidates for the Board are considered and selected by reference to a 
number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, their relevant experience and achievements, compatibility 
with other Board members, credibility within the Company's scope of activities, and intellectual and physical ability to 
undertake board duties and responsibilities. Directors are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by 
shareholders at the following general meeting.  

The Board recognises that Board renewal is critical to performance and the impact of Board tenure on succession 
planning. Each Director, other than the Executive Chairman, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third 
annual general meeting of the Company following the Director's appointment, or three years following that Director's 
last election or appointment (whichever is the longer). However, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as 
an  addition  to  the  Board  must  not  hold  office  (without  re-election)  past  the  next  annual  general  meeting  of  the 
Company. 

Page | 13 

 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

At each annual general meeting a minimum of one Director, or a third of the total number of Directors, must resign. 
A Director who retires at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting. 

Recommendation 1.7 

A listed entity should: 
 (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives; and 
 (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the 
reporting period in accordance with that process. 

Disclosure and Departure 
The Company does not have a formal process for periodically evaluating the performance of its Senior Executives. 
However, the Chief Executive monitors the performance of senior executives. 

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE 

Recommendation 2.1 

The Board of a listed entity should:  

(a) have a nomination committee which:  

(1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent Directors; and  
(2) is chaired by an independent director and disclose  
(3) the charter of the committee;  
(4) the members of the committee; and  
(5) as at the end  of  each reporting period, the number of times the committee  met throughout the period and the 
individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or  
(b) If it does not have a nomination committee,  disclose that fact and the  processes it employs to address Board 
succession  issues  and  to  ensure  that  the  Board  has  the  appropriate  balance  of  skills,  knowledge,  experience, 
independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively. 

Disclosure and Departure 

The Company does not have a Nomination Committee as the Directors believe that the size of the Company and 
the Board does not warrant the formation of such committee.  All Board nomination matters are considered by the 
whole Board. 

The Board oversees the appointment and induction process for Directors and committee members, and the 
selection, appointment and succession planning process of the Company’s executive management team.  The 
appropriate skill mix, personal qualities, expertise and diversity are factors taken into account in each case.  When 
a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, the Board determines the selection criteria based on the 
required skills. 

Recommendation 2.2 

A listed entity should have and disclose a Board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the 
Board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. 

Page | 14 

 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

Disclosure and Departure 
The Company currently does not have a Board "skills matrix".  Given the size and scope of the Company's 
operations, and its exploration and development stage, the Board considers that it is appropriately structured, with 
a suitable mix of skills and expertise, relevant to the Company's current business. However, the Board is cognisant 
that, as the Company expands and develops its activities, the Board will be required to review and restructure its 
composition to meet the specific expertise and skill requirements to progress the Company to meet its objectives 
moving forward. 

A profile of each Director containing their skills, experience, expertise and term of office is set out in the Directors' 
Report of this Annual Report. 

Recommendation 2.3 

A listed entity should disclose:  
(a) the names of the Directors considered by the Board to be independent Directors;  
(b) if a director has an interest, position, association or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 but the Board 
is of the opinion that it does not compromise the independence of the director, the nature of the interest, position, 
association or relationship in question and an explanation of why the Board is of that opinion; and  
(c) the length of service of each director. 

Disclosure and Departure 

As at 30 June 2019 the Board comprised two executive Directors including the Chairman and three non-executive 
directors, one of whom is independent as disclosed below.

Statement concerning availability of independent professional advice 

To assist Directors with independent judgement, it is the Board's policy that if a Director considers it necessary to 
obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of their office as a Director then, 
provided the Director first obtains approval from the Chairman for incurring such an expense, the Company will pay 
the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice. 

The length of service of each Director is as follows:

The Board supports the appointment of Directors who bring a wide range of business and professional skills and 
experience to the Company.  Directors are appointed in accordance with the constitution of the Company and are 
appointed for a period of three years or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment 
(whichever is longer).  

Recommendation 2.4 

A majority of the Board of a listed entity should be independent Directors. 

Disclosure and Departure 

As at 30 June 2019, only one member of the Board was an Independent Director.  

Given the size and scope of the Company's operations, the Board considers that it is appropriately structured 
relevant to the Company's current business. However, the Board is cognisant that, as the Company expands and 
develops its activities, the Board will be required to review and restructure its composition to meet the most 
appropriate requirements. 

Recommendation 2.5 

The chair of the Board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in particular, should not be the same 
person as the CEO of the entity. 

Disclosure and Departure 

The Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company, Subhash Challa, is not an Independent Director. 

Given the size and scope of the Company's operations, the Board considers that it is appropriately structured 
relevant to the Company's current business. However, the Board is cognisant that, as the Company expands and 
develops its activities, the Board will be required to review and restructure its composition to meet the most 
appropriate requirements. 

Recommendation  2.6 
A listed entity should have a program for inducting new Directors and provide appropriate professional 
development opportunities for Directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their 
role as Directors effectively. 

Page | 16 

 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

Disclosure and Departure 
An induction program for new Directors of the Company is being considered but  does not currently exist. Each 
Director of the Company has the right to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, 
and the Company provides appropriate professional development opportunities for Directors to develop and 
maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively. Prior approval of the 
Chairman is required, and this will not be unreasonably withheld. 

PRINCIPLE 3 - ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY 
A listed entity should act ethically and responsibly. 
Recommendation 3.1 
A listed entity should: 
(a) have a code of conduct for its Directors, senior executives and employees; and  
(b) disclose that code or a summary of it. 

Disclosure and Departure 

The consolidated entity recognises the need for Directors and employees to observe the highest standards of 
behaviour and business ethics.  All Directors and employees are required to act in accordance with the law and 
with the highest standard of propriety. 

The Company does not yet have a formal Code of Conduct setting out its core values.  However, the Company 
requires that each director and officer of the Company must comply with all laws and regulations. This includes 
understanding the laws and regulations relevant to their work and complying with the legal requirements of the 
jurisdiction in which the Company operates.  

Contractors and others employed by the Company should not engage in activities or hold or trade assets that involve, 
or could appear to involve, a conflict between their personal interests and the interests of the Company. 

The practices of the Board are aimed at promoting ethical and responsible decision making. The Board strives for 
good corporate governance and industry best practice. It specifically requires Directors and employees to: 

avoid situations which may give rise to a conflict of interest; 
avoid situations where they may gain any benefit which competes with the Company’s business; 
read and confirm that they understand the Company’s policies; 
comply with laws and regulations; 
properly use the Company’s assets for legitimate business purposes; and 

- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-  maintain confidentiality in both the Company’s business and the information of its clients and shareholders. 

Each director is required to disclose any  interest which might create a potential conflict of interest with his or her 
duties as a director or which might affect their independence. 

There  must  be  no  conflict,  or  perception  of  a  conflict,  between  the  interests  of  any  Company  director,  officer  or 
employee and the responsibility of that person to the stakeholders.  All Directors, officers and employees may never 
improperly use their position for personal or private gain to themselves, a family member, or other associated person. 
Where a potential conflict exists, this should be disclosed to the Chairman prior to any dealings taking place.

(a) have an audit committee, which: 
(1)

the charter of the committee;  
the relevant qualifications and experience of the members of the committee; and  
in relation to each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the

The Company is not fully compliant with this principle. The audit and risk committee has an independent chairperson, 
Heather Scheibenstock, two executive Directors, Subhash Challa and David Smith, and two non-executive directors, 
Zenon Pasieczny and Jason Ko.  The Details of these Directors’ qualifications and attendance at audit committee 
meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report under the heading “Directors’ Meetings”. 

Members  of  the  Committee  have  relevant  qualifications  and  experience  in  financial  matters  and  have  a  good 
understanding of the industry in which the Company operates. 
The Audit & Risk Committee plays a key role in assisting the Board with its responsibilities relating to accounting, 
internal control systems, reporting practices and risk management, and ensuring the independence of the Company 
auditor.  The terms of reference for the committee incorporate policies and procedures to ensure an effective focus 
from an independent perspective. 

The  Audit  &  Risk  Committee  oversees  and  appraises  the  quality  of  the  audits  conducted  by  the  auditors  and 
emphasises areas where the Committee believes special attention is required.  The external auditor is BDO.  BDO’s 
appointment  will  be  reviewed  periodically  in  line  with  industry  best  practice.    The  Board  believes  in  the  ongoing 
assessment of our audit arrangements and will comply with any regulatory requirements to rotate the Company’s 
external audit partner. 

The Audit & Risk Committee also reviews the effectiveness of administrative, operating and accounting controls.   

Recommendation  4.2 
The Board of a listed entity should, before it approves the entity's financial statements for the financial period, receive 
from  its  CEO  and  CFO  a  declaration  that,  in  their  opinion,  the  financial  records  of  the  entity  have  been  properly 
maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate  accounting standards and give a true and 
fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of 
a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively. 

Disclosure 
Before it approves the Company's financial statements for a financial period, the Board receives from its Managing 
Director and CFO a declaration that, in their opinion, the financial records of the Company have been properly 
maintained and that the financial statements comply with appropriate accounting standards. The declaration also 
states that the financial records give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity, and 
that their opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control that is 
operating effectively.

(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it. 
Disclosure 

The Company has established written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure and 
accountability at a senior executive level. 

The Board is committed to complying with continuous disclosure requirements and issues announcements to the 
ASX on matters that may have a material effect on the Company's securities. 

The Company's continuous disclosure policy is designed to meet market best practice, ensuring that all interested 
parties have an equal opportunity to obtain information which is issued by the Company. 

SenSen Networks' ASX announcements are also posted on the Company's website and emailed to shareholders 
who have subscribed to the Company's email alerts. 

PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS 
A listed  entity  should  respect  the rights  of its security holders  by providing  them  with  appropriate information 
and facilities to allow them  to exercise those  rights  effectively. 

Recommendation 6.1 

A listed  entity should  provide  information  about  itself and  its governance  to investors via its website. 

Disclosure 

The Company  provides  information about  itself and its  governance  to investors via its website 
www.sensennetworks.com.  The names and brief biographical  information  for each of the Company's Directors

communications to, the entity  and its security  registry electronically. 

Disclosure 
Security  holders  can email or otherwise contact  the Company  by visiting  the “Contact” section  of the website.   

PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

that framework. 

Recommendation 7.1

employs  for overseeing the entity's  risk management  framework. 
Disclosure and Departure 
The Company has a combined Audit and Risk Committee, the membership of which is not fully compliant with this 
principle.  The  audit  and  risk  committee  has  an  independent  chairperson,  two  non-executive  directors  and  two 
executive directors.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

The members of the committee have the necessary technical knowledge and understanding of the industry in which 
the entity operates to be able to discharge the committee’s mandate effectively.  

The details of these directors’ qualifications and attendance at audit committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ 
Report of the Annual Report under the heading “Directors’ Meetings”. 

The Board has disclosed the Charter of the Committee, which may be found on the Company's website in the 
section titled " Investor Centre/Corporate Governance’". A summary of the Company's Risk Management objectives 
can also be found in this section. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee are Messrs Scheibenstock, Ko, 
Challa, Smith and Pasieczny. The Committee held four meetings during the Reporting Year.  

The table set out in the Directors' Report of this Annual Report under the heading "Directors' Meetings" shows the 
members' attendance at Committee meetings. 

Recommendation 7.2 
The Board  or a committee  of the Board  should: 
(a) review the entity's  risk management  framework at least  annually to satisfy itself that it continues  to be 
sound; and  
(b) disclose,  in relation to each reporting period,  whether  such  a review has taken place. 

Disclosure 
The Board,  and  the Audit and Risk Committee,  reviews the Company's  risk management framework at least 
annually to satisfy itself that  it continues  to be sound,  and such  a review was  carried in the past  financial year.

confirming  that those risks are being  managed effectively. 

Recommendation 7.3 
A listed entity should disclose:  
(a) if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs; or 
(b) if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs for evaluating and continually

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY 

A listed entity should pay director remuneration sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and design its 
executive remuneration to attract retain and motivate high quality senior executives and to align their interests with 
the creation of value for security holders. 

Recommendation 8.1 
The Board of a listed entity should:  
(a) have a remuneration committee which:  
(1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent Directors; and  
(2) is chaired by an independent Director, and disclose:  
(3) the charter of the committee;  
(4) the members of the committee; and  
(5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the 
individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or  
(b) if it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for setting the level 
and composition of remuneration for Directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is 
appropriate and not excessive. 

Departure 
The Company has not established a separate Remuneration Committee with the Board considering Board 
nomination matters. Given the current size and composition of the Company, the Board is unable to meet the 
requirement that a separate Remuneration Committee is established consisting of a majority of Independent 
Directors and chaired by an independent Chair.  

The Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee 
and accordingly, the remuneration functions have been delegated to the Board. The Board deals with any conflicts 
of interest that may occur when acting in the capacity of the  Remuneration  Committee  by ensuring that the Director 
with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.  

The processes the Company employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for Directors and senior 
executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive, are disclosed in the 
Remuneration Report in the Company's Annual Report.  

Recommendation 8.2 
A listed entity should  separately disclose  its policies and practices  regarding  the remuneration  of non executive 
Directors  and the remuneration  of executive Directors  and other senior executives. 
Disclosure  
Non-Executive  Directors  are remunerated  at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities. Remuneration 
for Non-Executive  Directors  is not linked to individual performance.  From time to time the Company  may  grant 
options  to Non-Executive Directors. The grant  of options  is designed  to recognise  and reward efforts,  as well as 
to provide Non-Executive  Directors  with additional incentive  to continue  those efforts  for the benefit of the 
Company. 

Remuneration  and bonuses  for Executive Directors and Senior Executives consist  of a base salary and 
performance  incentives. Long-term performance incentives may include  options  granted at the discretion  of the 
Board  and subject  to obtaining the relevant approvals. Executives are offered competitive  base salaries at 
market  rates, which  are reviewed to ensure market  competitiveness. 
Recommendation 8.3 

A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should:  

(a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of 
derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme; and  
(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 

Disclosure 

As at 30 June 2019, the Company had an equity-based remuneration scheme (Long Term Incentive Plan) and 
details of incentives on issue in the Long-Term Incentive Plan can be found in the Remuneration Report.  

The Board approved the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan Rules on 25 October 2017 and details are posted on 
the Company’s website. Long-term incentive awards to key management personnel and staff were approved at the 
Company’s AGM on 30 November 2017. 

Throughout the period, the Company Long Term Incentive Scheme was in effect, the Company also had a policy 
that provided that participants are not permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or 
otherwise) that limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme.

Remuneration Report (Audited) 

The Directors are pleased to present the Company’s 2019 remuneration report which sets out remuneration 
information for the Company’s executive directors, non-executive directors and other key management personnel. 

(a) Details of Directors and Key Management Personnel during the year ended 30 June 2019 

Mr Subhash Challa, Executive Chairman  
Mr Zenon Pasieczny, Non-Executive Director 
Mr David Smith, Executive Director                                                                     
Mr Jason Ko, Non-Executive Director  
Mrs Heather Scheibenstock, Non-Executive Director (Appointed 7 September 2018) 
Mr Tony Lynch, Chief Financial Officer                

The above Key Management Personnel (KMP) are the KMP of the Company, there are no other KMP in the Group. 

(b)  Remuneration governance 

The Company does not have a remuneration committee, with remuneration decisions made by the Board on: - 

  The over-arching executive remuneration framework 
  Operation of the incentive plans which apply to the executive team including key performance indicators 

and performance hurdles 

  Remuneration levels of executive directors and the key management personnel, and 
  Non-executive director fees 

The objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the 
long-term interests of the Company.  

(c) Executive remuneration policy and framework 

Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced directors and executives.  
The  remuneration  structures  outlined  below  are  designed  to  attract  suitably  qualified  candidates,  reward  the 
achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creating shareholder value.  

The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following criteria for good reward corporate governance 
practices:  
– competitiveness and reasonableness;  
– acceptability to shareholders;  
– performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation;  
– transparency; and  

– capital management. 

The executive remuneration framework has two components 
- 
base pay and benefits, including superannuation; 
- 
long-term incentives (LTIs) through participation in the SenSen Long Term Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). 

The payment of LTIs is conditional on the achievement of set performance criteria as outlined in detail later in the 
Remuneration Report.   

Given the early stage nature of the Group’s business, performance conditions were based around revenue growth 
for 2018 and 2019 rather than any comparison with factors external to the company nor to the performance of any 
other company or share index. 

The Group will present an updated LTI plan for future years at the forthcoming 2019 AGM.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (cont’d) 

(d) Long-term incentives (LTIs) 

The establishment of the SenSen Long-Term Incentive Plan (“The Plan”) was approved by shareholders at the 
2017  annual  general  meeting  (AGM).    The  Plan  is  designed  to  provide  long-term  incentives  for  employees 
including directors, to deliver long-term shareholder returns.  Under the Plan, participants are granted LTI shares 
and options which only vest if certain performance standards are met.  Participation in the Plan is at the Board’s 
discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the Plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. 

Options granted under the Plan carry no dividend or voting rights. 

When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. 

(e) Non-executive Director remuneration  

Non-executive Directors receive director’s fees plus superannuation contributions to a complying fund.   

Fees are reviewed annually by the Board taking into account comparable roles and market data. These fees are 
subject to the annual limit outlined below. 

(f)  Shareholder approved Non-executive Directors’ fees pool 

The maximum annual aggregate non-executive directors’ fee pool limit is $400,000 and was approved by 
shareholders at the 2017 annual general meeting held on 30 November 2017. 

(g) Voting and comments made at the company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting 

SenSen Networks Limited received more than 99% of ‘yes’ votes on its remuneration report for the 2018 financial 
year.  The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration 
policies. 

(h) Group’s performance and link to remuneration 

In considering the consequences of the Company’s performance on shareholder wealth the Board is focused on 
total  shareholder  returns.  The  Company’s  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  is  heavily  performance  based  and  the 
vesting of Key Management Personnel and staff options is dependent on the company meeting specific revenue 
targets. 

(i)  Use of remuneration consultants 

The company did not engage remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

* From 1 March 2019, the Company commenced an operational efficiency program to reduce its monthly cost structure.  As 
part of this program, 20% of the KMP salary amounts have been deferred since 1 March 2019 and are planned to be paid in 
either cash or equity in November 2019. 

** The amounts included in the share-based remuneration represent the fair value of the options at grant date, amortised on 
a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period. The option amounts above do not represent cash amounts and are the 
product of a model-based valuation using a Black Scholes method and, in some cases, carry performance conditions around 
the company’s financial performance.  These valuations are subject to certain assumptions that may change from year to year 
and so will be re-performed at each reporting period.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (cont’d) 

(k) Details of share-based payments  

The following ordinary shares and options over ordinary shares were issued as part of compensation to key management 
personnel during the year ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018.  

Shares 

Rights to shares under the LTI scheme (LTI shares) are granted on 28 March 2018. Under the LTI Plan, the Company LTI 
shares to employees for nil consideration in addition to the cash remuneration with no conditions other than continuous 
service. The LTI shares awards for executives are determined based on 30% of the annual remuneration with the number of 
shares being calculated by reference to the 5-day volume weighted average market price (VWAP) of the Company’s Shares 
on the first business day following the ASX release of each Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report at each annual 
reporting date.  The LTI shares are based on a fixed value capped at the maximum LTI shares based on floor price of $0.25 
each.   

The number of LTI Shares will issued annually in three tranches for the years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019 and 30 
June 2020. The LTI shares vest annually on 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020.  If an executive ceases 
employment before the rights vest, the rights will be forfeited.  The fair value of the LTI shares is determined based on the 
market price of the Company’s shares at the grant date, with an adjustment made to take into account the vesting periods.

** The maximum value of the LTI shares yet to vest has been determined as the amount of the grant date fair

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of SenSen Networks Limited  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of SenSen Networks Limited (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, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.  

Material uncertainty related to going concern  

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which 
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and 
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. 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.  

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050

Revenue recognition under AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)  

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Group’s disclosures about revenue 
recognition are included in Note 1(b), which 
details the accounting policies applied following 
the implementation of AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers. 

The assessment of revenue recognition was 
significant to our audit because revenue is a 
material balance in the financial statements for 
the year ended 30 June 2019 and the Group was 
required to change its accounting policies to align 
with the new standard.  

The recognition of revenue largely depends on 
the terms of the underlying contracts with 
customers. Contracts can be complex and 
bespoke. In particular, significant judgment and 
estimation are required by the Group in 
determining the amount of revenue recognised 
for licences and other multiple obligation 
customer contracts, and the timing of when this 
revenue is recognised. 

The assessment of revenue recognition and 
measurement required significant auditor effort. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Assessing the Group’s revenue recognition 
policy’s for compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards.  

  Developing understanding of the various 

revenue streams and the Group’s revenue 
recognition policies for each streams though 
discussions with management and 
assessment; 

  Reviewing a sample of key customer 

contracts for each revenue streams with 
multiple obligations to determine whether 
revenue was recognised in accordance with 
the Group’s accounting policies and the 
requirements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards. 

  Testing a sample of revenue transactions 

and reviewing the terms and conditions of 
the executed contracts and other supporting 
evidence to ensure that the accounting 
treatment had been correctly applied, 
including evaluating whether performance 
obligations had been met and revenue had 
been recognised in the correct period.  

  Performing a detailed analysis of revenue 
and the timing of its recognition based on 
expectations derived from our knowledge of 
the Group’s products and the market it 
operates in. 

Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The financial report includes the financial statements and notes of SenSen Networks Limited, a listed public 
company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, SenSen Networks Limited, have not been presented within 
this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on  30 September 2019 by the directors of the company. 

  (a) 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 and the Corporations 
Act 2001. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been 
rounded to the nearest dollar. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the 
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 23. 

  The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.  Cost is based on the fair 

values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.  All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, 
unless otherwise noted. 

  (b) Changes in Accounting Policies 

  Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods 

presented in these consolidated financial statements. 

  The Group applies, for the first time, AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from 

Contracts with Customers.  This note explain the impact of the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15 on the 
consolidated financial statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(b) Changes in Accounting Policies (continued) 

(i) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Impact of adoption 
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related 
Interpretations and it applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those 
contracts are in the scope of other standards. The new standard establishes a five-step model to 
account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised at 
an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for 
transferring goods or services to a customer. The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, 
taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the 
model to contracts with their customers.   

The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies 
and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Group has adopted AASB 
15 using the cumulative effect method.  Accordingly, the information presented for 2018 financial report 
has not been restated, which has been presented as previously reported under AASB 118 and related 
interpretations.  Additionally, the disclosure requirements in AASB 15 have not generally been applied 
to comparative information.  

In summary, the following adjustments were made to the amounts recognised in the statement of 
financial position at the date of initial application (1 July 2018) of AASB 15: 

AASB 118

(396,064) 
674,247

(201,081) 
281,837 

The contract liabilities represent payments made in advance of the completion of the performance 
obligation.  All performance obligations are expected to be settled within 12 months from reporting 
date.  

The recognition of contract assets and liabilities is due to the adoption of AASB 15 and are created 
within the normal business operations. There have been no material changes to previously existing 
contracts with the customers during the period.   

Costs incurred to fulfil a contract (included in contract liabilities) 
In adopting AASB 15 on 1 July 2018, the Group recognised an asset in relation to costs incurred in 
acquisition of hardware that will be used to fulfil fixed-price contracts. These costs had been expensed 
as incurred in 2019. The asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the specific 
contract it relates to, consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated revenue.

previous standard AASB 118.  A small number of customer contracts were affected where revenue is 
now recognised as per AASB 15 at the point of completing the performance obligation as opposed to 
other  methods  such  as  the  transfer  of  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  per  the  previous  accounting 
standard.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(iv) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Accounting policies applied from 1 
July 2018  
The Group is in business of developing and selling SenDISA platform-based products and services into 
two major customer markets: 

  Smart Cities: civic compliance, traffic data and law enforcement solutions to city councils, 

national parks, road authorities and transit agencies across the globe.  

  Retail and Leisure: delivering accurate actionable insights to casinos about table occupancy, 

hands per hour, bet type and value for every bet placed on the gaming floor. 

The  Group  recognises  revenue  predominantly  from  the  sale  of  hardware,  software  and  services, 
including  implementation,  training,  and  after-sales  maintenance  and  contracts  for  Video  Analytics 
Artificial Intelligence platforms and products. 

The  Group  often  enters  into  transactions  involving  a  range  of  the  Group’s  products  and  services,  for 
example for the delivery of hardware, software and related after-sales service. In most cases, the total 
transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their 
relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected 
on behalf of third parties.  

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance 
obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.  

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance 
obligations  and  reports  these  amounts  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Similarly,  if  the  Group 
satisfies  a  performance  obligation  before  it  receives the  consideration,  the  Group  recognises  either  a 
contract  asset  or  a  receivable  in  its  statement  of  financial  position,  depending  on  whether  something 
other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Sale of Hardware, Software License and Customised Installation  
In  relation  to  the  sale  of  Hardware  and  Software  Licences, the  Group concludes that these  sales  are 
highly interrelated and interdependent with the installation therefore not capable of being distinct. The 
performance obligation in relation to sales is satisfied when the installation is complete.  
Further, the Group sells the software licences in some cases bundled with a maintenance period. After 
the  initial  period  of  maintenance,  the  customer  has  the  option  to  sign-up  for  additional  periods  of 
maintenance. 
The maintenance is distinct on its own. The software remains functional after installation without updates, 
support  and  software  maintenance  and  therefore  is  not  integrated  with  the  other  goods  or  services. 
Further, the customer can continue to utilise the software without the maintenance (the customer can still 
retain continued functionality of the software for a reasonable period of time after instillation). Thus, the 
Group  concludes  that  the  customer  can  benefit  from  the  maintenance  on  its  own  and  the  criterion  in 
paragraph  27(a)  of  AASB  15  is  met.  In  addition,  the  maintenance  is  distinct  within  the  context  of  the 
contract  and the criterion  in  paragraph  27(b)  of AASB  15  is  met.  Maintenance  is  recognised  over the 
period the services are provided.  

Service contracts 

Identifying performance obligations 
Service contracts generally include a number of key deliverables. The Group observed that these key 
deliverables are considered tasks and not distinct on their own. That is, the customer cannot benefit from 
the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the 
customer.  Therefore,  the  criterion  in  paragraph  27(a)  of  AASB  15  is  not  met.  Further,  the  tasks  are 
considered inputs to produce the combined output (i.e. software development of customer’s new/existing 
software) specified in the contract (paragraph 29(a) of AASB 15). Therefore, the criterion in paragraph 
27(b) of AASB 15 (on the basis of the factors in paragraph 29 of AASB 15) is not met. 
The Group concludes that there is one performance obligation which is the service contracts. 

Customer contracts with multiple performance obligations 
Where a customer enters into a contract for multiple performance obligations, these are accounted for 
based  on  the  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  for  the  individual  obligation.  Contracts  for  software 
licences  that  feature  integrated  business  solution  applications,  may  include  additional  charges  for 
professional services.  Revenues of this nature are considered distinct and are individually accounted for 
as separate performance obligation.  Fees are based on standard hourly rates and have been allocated 
according to their respective stand-alone selling price.   

Customer contracts for transaction services are also treated as a separate performance obligation as 
business transactions are processed on behalf of the customer for a determined fee.   
In  all  cases,  the  total  transaction  price  for  a  customer  contract  is  allocated  amongst  the  various 
performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Cost of obtaining a customer contract 
AASB 15 requires that incremental costs associated with acquiring a customer contract, such as sales 
commissions, are recognised as an asset and amortised over a period that corresponds with the period 
of benefit. 

Unsatisfied performance obligations 
The Group continues to recognise its ‘contract liabilities’ under AASB 15 in respect of any unsatisfied 
performance obligations.  These liabilities are disclosed as in the consolidated statement of financial 
position. 

Financing components 
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the 
promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a 
consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.  

AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of adoption 

AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement 
of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial 
assets and hedge accounting.   AASB 9 was generally adopted without restating comparative information. 

The adoption of AASB 9 from 1 July 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies. The new accounting 
policies are set out in note below. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9, comparative 
figures have not been restated. 

(i) Classification and Measurement 

AASB 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at  
amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or 
loss (FVPL). The classification of financial assets under AASB 9 is generally based on the business model 
in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. AASB 9 eliminates the 
previous AASB 139 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale.  

AASB 9 largely retains the existing requirements in AASB 139 for the classification and measurement of 
financial liabilities.  The adoption of AASB 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group’s accounting 
policies related to financial liabilities. 

At the date of initial application of AASB 9 on 1 July 2018, the group’s management has assessed which 
business models apply to the financial assets held by the group and has classified its financial instruments 
into the appropriate AASB 9 categories.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

The directors of the Group determined the existing financial assets and liabilities as at 1 July 2018 based 
on the facts and circumstances that were present, and determined that the initial application of AASB 9 had 
the following effects: 

• 

Trade and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under AASB 139 are 
now classified at amortised cost, as they are held to collect contractual cash flows and these cash 
flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

 (ii) Impairment of financial assets 
In adopting AASB 9, an expected credit loss model is applied and not an incurred credit loss model as per 
AASB 139. To reflect changes in credit risk, this expected credit loss (ECL) model requires the group to 
account for expected credit loss since initial recognition.   

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which used 
lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected 
credit losses, the trade and other receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk 
characteristics and the number of days past due.  The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress 
and unbilled software and hardware sales and have substantially the same characteristics as the trade 
receivables for the same types of contracts.  On that basis, the loss allowance as at 1 July 2018 was 
determined for both trade and other receivables and contract assets. 

The application of the AASB 9 impairment requirements did not result to a material change to the Group’s 
net trade and other receivables and contract assets as at 1 July 2018.  While cash and cash equivalents   
are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, there was no material impairment loss 
identified. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Accounting policies applied from 1 July 2018  

(i) Investments and other financial assets  
Classification  
From 1 July 2018, the group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:  

 

 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss); 
and  
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the 
contractual terms of the cash flows.  

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI.  

Recognition and derecognition 
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the 
group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive 
cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

Measurement  
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial 
asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in 
profit or loss.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Impairment  
From 1 July 2018, the group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated 
with its trade and other receivables.   For trade and other receivables and contract assets, the Group 
applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be 
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.  

(c)  New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2019 reporting period. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. The 
Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:  

AASB 16 Leases  

The standard is mandatory for first interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2019. The group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date. When effective, 
this standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB117 Leases and 
related interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the 
requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. This means that for most leases, a 
right-to-use asset and a liability will be recognised, with the right-to-use asset being depreciated and the 
liability being unwound in principal and interest components over the life of the lease.  

The accounting for lessors will not significantly change. The standard will affect primarily the accounting for 
the group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the group has non-cancellable operating lease 
commitments of $653,860 (refer to Note 25). However, the group has not yet determined to what extent 
these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this 
will affect the group’s profit and classification of cash flows.  

Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception for short-term and low-value leases and some 
commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under AASB 16.  

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material 
impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1.STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(d)  Going concern basis 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting, 
which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of 
liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  

As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the group has net operating cash outflows during the 
year ended 30 June 2019 of $4,507,922 (30 June 2018: $4,171,833) and as at 30 June 2019 has a net 
asset position of $476,083 (30 June 2018: $4,531,236). The Group also generated a loss after tax for the 
year of $5,277,798 (30 June 2018: $9,220,416). 

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon  of the following 
conditions: 

  The expected realisation of customer contracts  in a manner that generates operating cash inflows; 

and 

  The ability of the Group to raise sufficient capital as and when necessary. 

These conditions give rise to material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt over the Groups ability 
to continue as a going concern.  

The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following 
reasons: 

-  Recent history of expanding into the overseas market and continued interest in the Groups 

products 

-  Discussions with parties interested in contributing capital 
-  The ability to scale back expenditure as and when required to preserve cash if needed.  

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and 
extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those 
stated in the financial report. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the 
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and 
appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going 
concern. 

(e)  Business combinations and asset acquisitions 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of 
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets 
given, shares issued, or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments 
are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at 
the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly 
in equity.

1.STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

All identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination 
are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business 
combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is 
recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the 
identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired.  
All identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination 
are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business 
combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is 
recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the 
identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired.  

Acquisitions of entities that do not meet the definition of a business contained in AASB 3 Business 
Combinations (IFRS 3) are not accounted for as business combinations. In such cases the Group identifies 
and recognises the individual identifiable assets acquired (including those assets that meet the definition 
of, and recognition criteria for, intangible assets in AASB 138 Intangible Assets (IAS 38) and liabilities 
assumed. The cost of the group of net assets is then allocated to the individual identifiable assets and 
liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction or event does 
not give rise to goodwill. 

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognized from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, and their measurement also reflects the manner in 
which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With 
respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of 
investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is 
measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale.  

(f)  Income tax 

The income tax for expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and 
deferred tax expense (income). 

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income.  Current tax 
liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant 
taxation authorities. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred 
tax asset can be utilised.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and 
joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the 
temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable 
future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a 'legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is 
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability 
will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off 
exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future 
periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or 
settled. 

SenSen  Networks Limited  and  its  fully  owned Australian  subsidiary  SenSen  Networks Group Pty  Limited 
have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.  As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single 
entity  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  of  these  entities  are  set  off  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

(g)  Fair value of assets and liabilities 

The  Group  measures  some  of  its  assets  and  liabilities  at  fair value  on  either  a recurring  or  non-recurring 
basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in 
an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants 
at the measurement date. 

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is 
used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the 
characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in 
an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques 
maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. 

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability 
(i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of 
such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. 
the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer 
the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to 
use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in 
its highest and best use.

(h)  Cash and cash equivalents  

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term 
highly  liquid  investments  with  original  maturities  of  twelve  months  or  less,  and  bank  overdrafts.  Bank 
overdrafts are reported within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. For the 
purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as 
defined above. 

(i)  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables and other receivables, both of which generally have 30-day terms, are non-interest bearing 
and are recognised and carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for 
credit losses.  These receivables are classified as current assets unless not recoverable within 12 months 
after reporting period.  

(j)  Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain 
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days 
from date of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not 
due within 12 months after reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.    

(k)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

  Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the amount of GST 

incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).  

  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 ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement 
of financial position 

  Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows 
included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(l)  Property, plant and equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment.  In  the  event  the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately 
to  the  estimated  recoverable  amount  and  impairment  losses  are  recognised  either  in  profit  or  loss  or  as  a 
revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable 
amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(m) for details 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 recognised 
as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains 
and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are sold, 
amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on either a diminishing value or a straight-line basis 
over the asset’s useful life from the time the asset is ready for use.  
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are: 

Class of fixed asset 

Computer Equipment 
Furniture and Equipment 

Depreciation Rate per annum 

33 – 50% 
20% - 33% 

The  assets’  residual  values  and  useful  life  are  reviewed  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  the  end  of  each 
reporting  period.  An  assets  recoverable  amount  is  written  down  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.  

(m)  Impairment of non-financial assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be 
impaired.  The  assessment  will  include  the  consideration  of  external  and  internal  sources  of  information 
including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of 
pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing 
the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use, to the asset’s carrying amount.  
Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or 
loss. 

  Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the 

recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

(n)  Borrowings 

  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 borrowings using the effective 
interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the 
loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is 
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of 
the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over 
the period of the facility to which it relates.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, 
cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  a  financial  liability  that  has  been 
extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  consideration  paid,  including  any  non-cash  assets 
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.   
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor 
to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which 
is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the 
equity instruments issued. 
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 reporting date. 

(o)   Employee benefits – short-term obligations 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and personal leave that are expected to 
be  settled  wholly  within  12  months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related 
service  are  recognised  in  respect  of  employees’  services  up  to  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  and  are 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 
The  liability  for  accumulating  personal  leave  is  recognised  in  the  provision  for  leave.  All  other  short-term 
employee benefit obligations are presented as payables 

(p)  Equity-settled compensation 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) and consultants of the Group in the 
form of share-based payments, whereby employees and consultants render services in exchange for shares 
or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).  

The  cost  of  these  equity-settled  transactions  is  measured  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of rights over shares is determined using a 
binomial, or Black-Scholes model, further details of which are  given in Note 22 The fair value of shares is 
determined by the market value of the Group’s shares at grant date.  

In  valuing  equity-settled  transactions,  any  performance  conditions  are  taken  into  account  if  relevant  and 
assumptions around the likelihood of meeting these performance conditions are factored into the valuation 
model. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over 
the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the 
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).  

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date 
reflects: 
 (i)  the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and  
(ii)  the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.  

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest,  except  for  awards  where  vesting  is  only 
conditional upon a market condition.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms 
had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at 
the date of modification.  

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of 
earnings per share. 

(q)  Leases 

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, 
are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.  

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

(r)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, 
for  which  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  result,  and  that  outflow  can  be  reliably 
measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation 
at the end of the reporting period. 

(s)  Foreign currency transactions and balances  

Functional and presentation currency  

The  functional  currency  of  each  of  the  Group's  entities  is  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the parent entity's functional currency.  

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at year-end exchange rate. Non-
monetary  items  measured  at  historical  cost continue  to  be  carried  at the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  of the 
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when 
fair values were determined.  

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  monetary  items  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  except 
where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.  

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other 
comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is  recognised in other comprehensive 
income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss 

Group companies  

The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group's 
presentation currency, are translated as follows: 

  assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; 
 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and accumulated losses 
are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than 
Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency 
translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences 
is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(t) 

Revenue recognition 

The accounting policies for the Group’s revenue from contracts with customers are explained in note 4. 

(u)  Government grants 

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that 
the grant will be received, and the group will comply with all attached conditions. Note 5 provides further 
information on how the group accounts for government grants. 
Research and development tax incentive  
Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying 
assets  or  in  relation  to  qualifying  expenditure  (e.g. the  Research  and  Development  (R&D) Tax  Incentive 
regime in Australia or other investment allowances). The Group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, 
which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset 
is recognised for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward as deferred tax assets. 

(v) 

Significant accounting judgements estimates and assumptions 
In applying the Company’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgements, estimates 
and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events 
that may have an impact on the Company. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to 
be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may 
differ  from  the  judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions.  The  more  significant  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below: 
(i) 

Impairment of loans to, and investment in, subsidiaries – Note 23 

(ii) 

(iii) 

Where a subsidiary entity incurs a loss, the parent entity assesses the recoverability of any loans 
due from, or investments in, any subsidiary. Where required, the  parent entity will then record an 
impairment loss against the value of its loans to, or investment in, the subsidiary. 

Share-based Payments – Note 22 
The  estimation  of  the  likelihood  of  meeting  performance  conditions  on  Long  Term  Incentive 
Performance  Options  has  been  based  on  historical  experience  and  management  judgement.  In 
addition,  this  estimate  is  assessed  annually  and  considered  in  the  context  of  actual  Group 
performance. 

Recognition of revenue – Note  1 
The  Group  recognises  revenue  from  either  individual  or  multiple  element  arrangements  such  as 
hosting  and  installation,  an  assessment  is  made  as  to  whether  these  give  rise  to  separate 
performance obligations which are accounted for using the methods outlined in Note 1 (b) (iv) for 
each individual element contained within the contract.

2.  REVERSE ACQUISITION 

SenSen  Networks  Limited  (formerly  Orpheus  Energy  Limited)  (the  Company)  acquired  SenSen  Networks 
Group Pty Ltd (“SenSen P/L”) on 18 October 2017.   
From  a  legal  and  taxation  perspective  the  Company  is  considered  the  acquiring  entity.    However,  the 
acquisition has the features of a reverse acquisition as described in the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 
3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) because the acquisition resulted in SenSen P/L shareholders holding a 
controlling interest in the Company after the transaction notwithstanding the Company being the legal parent 
of the Group.  At the time of the acquisition the Company divested all of its operations, and its activities were 
limited to managing its cash balances, filing obligations (i.e., a listed shell), and completion of the acquisition. 
It  is therefore  considered  that  the  Company  does  not  meet the  definition  of  a  business for the  purposes  of 
AASB 3 as it did not have any processes or outputs. 

The transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition from a consolidated perspective, 
where SenSen P/L is the accounting acquirer and the Company is the legal acquirer.  The 2018 annual report 
includes the consolidated financial statements of SenSen P/L for the full year and the Company for the period 
18 October 2017 to 30 June 2018. The 2018 annual report represents a continuation of SenSen P/L’s financial 
statements with the exception of the capital structure.  The amount recognised as equity instruments in these 
consolidated statements represents the issued equity of the Company adjusted to reflect the equity issued by 
the Company on acquisition.  

Under  the  reverse  acquisition  principles,  the  consideration  provided  by  SenSen  P/L  was  determined  to  be 
$10,306,942 which is the deemed fair value of the 103,069,423 shares owned by the former SenSen Networks 
Limited shareholders at the completion of the acquisition, valued at the capital raising share price of $0.10 per 
share. The excess of the deemed fair value of the shares owned by the Company shareholders and the fair 
value  of  the  identifiable  net  assets  of  the  Company  immediately  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  merger  is 
accounted  for  under  AASB  2  Share  Based  Payments  and  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  $5,229,773  being 
recorded as “Corporate Restructure Expense”.  The net assets of the Company were recorded at fair value at 
acquisition date.  As the carrying value of all assets and liabilities held by the  Company at acquisition date 
approximated their fair value, no adjustments were required. 

The fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Company (being the accounting acquiree) as at the date of 
acquisition and the deemed consideration is as follows: 

Assets acquired and liabilities of SenSen Networks Limited assumed 
at the date of acquisition 
Current assets 
Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade receivables 
Total assets 

Current liabilities 
Trade and other payables 
Borrowings

(a)  The fair value of the deemed consideration of $10,306,942 was based on the Company’s most recent 

public offer share price of $0.10 multiplied by the number of shares on issue at the date of the transaction 
being 103,069,423. The directors believe that this is the most reasonable measurement of the 
consideration given the facts and circumstances surrounding the acquisition.

3. SEGMENT REPORTING 

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the executive 
team in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. 

AASB 8 Operating Segments states that similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one 
reportable segment.  Following the acquisition of SenSen Networks Group Pty Ltd, the Group aggregated all 
its reporting segments into two reportable operating segments.  Prior to acquisition, the Company operated as 
a corporate shell having ceased its previous exploration activities in the prior period.  

The principal areas of operation of the group are as follows: 
- Smart Cities 
- Retail & Leisure

Rupiah plus interest of IDR 8.75 billion Rupiah (total of 78.75 billion Rupiah or $6.8 million) which

During the year, the Group assessed the recoverability of its historic intercompany loan balances and agreed to 
make a full provision against these amounts in the Parent Entity as they are unlikely to be repaid.  However, these 
are inter-company balances only and as such the financial impact on the Group is $nil.  The loss in the parent entity 
shown above is fully eliminated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Company monitors its exposure to key financial risks, principally market risk (including currency risk), 
interest risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, with the objective of achieving the company’s financial targets whilst 
protecting future financial security. 

The  main  risks  arising  from  the  company's  financial  instruments  are  liquidity  risk,  interest  rate  risk  and 
credit risk. The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which 
it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market 
forecasts for interest rates. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow 
forecasts and regular internal reporting. Credit risks are managed by credit limits and retention of the title 
over the investments sold. 

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as  summarised below. Primary 
responsibility  for  identification  and  control  of  financial  risks  rests  with  the  Board.  It  reviews  and  agrees 
policies  for  managing  each  of  the  risks,  including  the  use  of  derivatives,  hedging  cover  of  interest  rate 
exposure, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections. 

(a)  Market Risk 

Foreign exchange risk 
Exchange Risk arises whereby currency exchange rates may affect the assets and liabilities and 
the consolidation of companies within the group. 

The  company  reports  in  Australian  Dollars;  however,  the  operating  currency  of  the  Indonesian 
subsidiaries is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), the operating currency for the Hong Kong subsidiary is 
the  HK$,  and  the  operating  currency  for  the  Singapore  subsidiary  is  US$.  These  subsidiaries 
currently have no activities.   

At 30 June 2019 if exchange rates had increased/decreased by 500 basis points from the year end 
rates  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the  profit  increase/decrease  would  be  $7,627  (2018: 
$8,951).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) 

 (b)  Interest Risk 

The Group’s borrowings during 2019 from Speedshield Holdings were not liable to interest. 

The company has a business loan facility of $450,000 and an undrawn overdraft facility of $225,000 
with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Interest is charged at a variable rate of  4.95% on the 
business loan.  
Group sensitivity 
At 30 June 2019 if interest rates had increased/decreased by 50 basis points from the year end 
rates  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the  result  would  not  be  material  at  $2,250.  (2018: 
$2,250) 
  Based on movements in interest rates the company regularly reviews the deployment of funds and 
the exposure to interest rate risk in conjunction with currency and exchange rate risk in order to 
manage these risks in line with corporate objectives. 

(c)  Credit Risk 

  Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  financial  loss  to  the  Group  if  a  customer  or  counterparty  to  a  financial 
instrument  fails  to  meet  its  contractual  obligations  and  arises  principally  from  the  Group’s 
receivables from other third parties, investments, banks and financial institutions. 

  Trade and other receivables 
  The  Group  limits  its  exposure  to  credit  risk  by  only  limiting  transactions  with  high  credit  quality 

financial institutions principally government bodies and large listed corporate firms.   

(d)  Liquidity Risk 

  The  table  below  reflects  all  contractually  fixed  payoffs  and  receivables  for  settlement  from 
recognised financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments as of 30 June 
2019.  The  amounts  disclosed  are  undiscounted  cash  flows  anticipated  to  eventuate  in  the  next 
fiscal year. 

  Cash  flows  for  financial  assets  and  liabilities  without  fixed  amount  or  timing  are  based  on  the 

conditions existing at 30 June 2018.

The contractual maturities of the company’s financial assets and liabilities set out in the table are 
equivalent to the maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on management's 
expectation. 

The risk implied from the values in the table reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. 

 (e)  Fair value 

The methods for estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements, and unless 
specifically stated, carrying value approximates fair value for all financial instruments.
