Letter from the Chair & CEO
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
I warmly welcome all new and existing shareholders to
SenSen’s Annual Report for the financial year ended
30 June 2021 – a year of unprecedented success
since listing on the ASX in 2017.
In our increasingly complex world, it has never been
more vital for cities and enterprises to run
efficiently and productively for the benefit of all stakeholders.
To optimise the management of the complex
interactions that lie at the heart of modern cities and enterprises – the movement of people,
vehicles and objects – we’ve built the AI platform, SenDISA, that powers all SenSen applications.
It’s a platform that has generated record revenues for our company while improving the lives of millions of
people who enjoy safer roads, more pleasant commuting journeys, more efficient parking, and leisure
opportunities because of it. Best of all, we’re only just getting started.
It’s a horizontal sensor AI technology platform capable of gathering, analysing and fusing data from every
sensing device in common use today – cameras, radar, Lidar, GPS, passive infrared sensors – to solve
problems across all industries that were often considered impossible to solve through traditional
means.
We’ve made our mark in four business verticals – Smart Cities, Casinos, Retail, Smart Surveillance – and have
a pipeline of emerging technology applications in many attractive new sectors. All our solutions are built on
SenSen’s intellectual property that is protected by a significant and growing patent vault. SenSen currently
has a patent portfolio covering 8 patent families, 4 of them are granted and the remaining are patent
pending. More patents are planned for submission in the near term.
SenSen achieved record-breaking revenues for the financial year 2021 of $5,532,537 with 47% growth year-on-
year proforma basis. We delivered Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $2,673,821 with continued ARR growth
of 33% proforma. SenSen reported strong business performance this financial year with increased customer
contracts across new and established territories. Proudly, I can report an estimated customer net retention
rate for FY22 of 120%+, which reflects the value we bring to improving the business operations and customer
service experiences of our existing customers.
Despite COVID-19 disrupting the rest of the business world, our growth in international markets was
unhampered. The pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for many industries and cities to have real-time
data insights, to be responsive to changes, and to be able to respond to customer demands and evolving needs.
It means intelligent decision making is ever critical in every industry. The success of our landmark contract with
the City of Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) for parking management and enforcement, new and enhanced contracts
with Chicago Parking Meters LLC and the renewals and extensions from the cities of Calgary and Edmonton
(Canada) demonstrate a stable, high-reference client base in North America to further accelerate sales growth in
the region.
SenSen has a growing global workforce, and I am pleased to say that all of our staff members from data
engineers through to executive management have all been safe throughout this global pandemic. Our agile
workforce has been able to continue working safely during this disrupted time while also securing new and
expanding customers.
The board oversaw several significant corporate milestones this financial year, all of which align with our
long term goal to list SenSen on NASDAQ.

Letter from the Chair & CEO
At the start of the 2021 financial year, SenSen achieved an important milestone of listing on the OTCQB
(SNNSF) venture market in the USA, to simplify US investors participation in the SenSen growth story.
In alignment with our active growth strategy, SenSen acquired the Snap Network Surveillance
business, a world leader in AI-powered multi-camera tracking software. This strategic acquisition
enabled SenSen to bring in-house all intellectual property including patents, trademarks, and know-
how to launch a groundbreaking new capability to autonomously track people and objects across
large scale camera networks. This has now become integral part of our proprietary platform SenDISA.
This followed the successful capital rase of $7.15M in January 2021 indicating strong market demand
from institutional and sophisticated investors for our investment thesis. The funds are being invested to
accelerate revenue and enhance our delivery capabilities to global customers, especially in the US.
Since the capital raise, we established our North American headquarters in Las Vegas with strong
support and subsidies from the government of Nevada and have made key hires to support sales
growth in the region.
In other corporate activity, towards the end of the last quarter, SenSen entered into an acquisition
agreement with Scancam Industries Pty Ltd – specialists in the retail sector, specifically fuel theft. This
acquisition, which was completed in the first quarter of the new financial year, significantly unlocks
future revenue in our platform via organic and targeted growth in the Australian fuel retailer market
growing from 250 customers to 1,000 in the next three years; there are a total of 6,500 service stations in
Australia alone. Simultaneously our dedicated sales team is already looking to secure clients from the
broader retail market with the view to secure customers in this adjacent market both in Australia and
overseas.
We have committed to continued investment in SenSen’s technology capability to deliver on our future
roadmap. We have rebranded and changed our web presence to www.sensen.ai to better reflect our vision and
capabilities to deliver sophisticated AI-driven, data-fusion solutions. We are on track with our plans to scale
rapidly across all business verticals and are looking to build growth momentum by:
Investing – developing our marketing and sales channels to support accelerated growth into the Smart
Cities, Retail, Smart Surveillance and Casino markets and enabling our product team to create robust,
scalable products.
Expanding – establishing a foothold in all current and adjacent market verticals, including:
o Growing the use of SenSen’s Smart Surveillance analytics software from 10,000+ cameras to
100,000+ cameras in 2-3 years
o Growing SenSen’s Casino Gaming solutions to 30+ Casinos in 2-3 years
o Grow SenSen’s Fuel Theft solutions offering from 250+ to 1000+ in 2-3 years. Our long-term
focus is to implement this solution in the broader retail market and grow to 1000+ stores in 2-
3 years
o Growing SenSen’s Smart Cities Solutions, including road safety, traffic analytics, kerbside and
parking management solutions, from 35+ Cities to 100+ Cities in 2-3 years.
Opening - unlock future revenue in our patented platform by building the application developer
ecosystem to increase our customer base and associated revenues via third-party developers.
As we look to the future with a mid to long-term lens, SenSen’s growth ambitions lie in the reputation we
have built for developing disruptive new innovations to transform industries. The creativity of our R&D
engineers is the foundation of SenSen’s vision, which is a lifelong commitment to solve real problems with
better-built solutions benefitting from data fusion insights.
Today our emerging technology team is working in partnership with a variety of business partners across a
variety of sectors in the economy. These industries range from sports analytics and autonomous vehicles to the
application of robotics in the aged care sector. Our partners and customers see the value of adopting our world-
leading sensor AI technology to solve their problems and create efficiencies in the delivery of products and
services to the markets in which they serve.

listing on the NASDAQ.
Sincerely,
Dr Subhash Challa

Corporate Values
Corporate Values
Integrity – Always doing the right thing, and bring this value into all customer and employee relationships
Ingenuity – Solve problems considered impossible by our customers through innovation.
Excellence – Deliver solutions and service that exceed our customer expectations.
Corporate Identity
We are world leaders in Sensor AI.
We want to achieve this by solving customer problems that were once considered impossible and thus
positively transform people’s lives in innovative ways.
Corporate Behavior
We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence and turning what seem like impossible problems into working
solutions.
We do this by listening to the issues faced by customers, working intensely with them to resolve their pain
points, and building inventions that work based on our deep understanding of AI, Machine Learning, Deep
Learning and Data Fusion.
Corporate Design
In an increasingly urban world, it's easy to lose sight that cities are meant to serve citizens and make their
lives easier.
By teaming with Dutch illustrator Timo Kuilder – whose deceptively playful work is known to business
audiences via NY Times, The Economist and Bloomberg – SenSen is part of the growing movement to bring
joy and comfort back to people's lives.
We disguise the complexity of our technology prowess through human-friendly design and stylish product
delivery.
Corporate Culture
Our culture of constant reinvention is made possible by the ability and eagerness of our people to pivot and
progress while strengthening relationships and commercial outputs.
The conventional does not serve us, neither our customers nor staff.
Unafraid of taking risks and learning from mistakes, we are 'ingenious by design' – a state of constant
evolution as demonstrated by our many world-firsts.
We are anti-fragile, our every setback made us come back stronger.

Sensor AI and Our Platform
We have been developing SenDISA for well over a decade with multiple patents protecting the intellectual
property associated with it, and the technology acquired from Snap Surveillance has similar provenance,
maturity and IP protection. Our platform gathers data from multiple live and recorded camera feeds as well as
data from all popular sensors in real time – including GPS, BlueTooth, Radar, audio, Lidar, PIR motion sensors
and other IoT devices – then analyses the data to find patterns and trends hidden within it.
Three critical components work together – data fusion, AI algorithms, software – to produce results that improve
the productivity and safety of our customers’ operations and deliver business insights that are otherwise
impossible to obtain from traditional data sources.
Product Suite
Problems We Solve
SenDISA is our powerful technology platform with AI capabilities for:
Smart Cities – 30+ cities globally are powered by SenSen’s smart analytics making people’s lives easier with
safer roads, more efficient parking, less congestion and protection of kerbside management.
Casinos – Real-time data insights to help owners and managers meet compliance obligations for harm
minimisation, AML and KYC.
Retail – fuel theft reduction at 250 petrol stations with organic growth opportunities into the broader Retail
market.
Smart Surveillance – major security installations tracking suspicious behavior and pursuit pathways on 10,000+
cameras in this sector.

Sensor AI and Our Platform
Over the course of this financial year, we have integrated acquired technologies into SenDISA so that new
products can be created to solve problems in each of our business verticals. We now stand enthusiastically as
world leaders in Sensor AI solving complex problems with people, places and data that were once thought
technically impossible.
We have defined and placed Sensor AI – a branch of AI that fuses data collected from multiple devices to
extract richer insights than any single sensor device can provide on its own – at the core of our offering to the
world. At SenSen, we believe smart analytics and reliable data are critical to building transformational
solutions. Sensor AI enables insights to be extracted from multiple sources of data, bringing additional layers
of context to inform our built solutions. Sensor AI has the power to improve the everyday lives of connected
communities; to make people feel safer; to make cities more efficient; and to make companies more productive.
Scanning across the industry and markets, we see applications for Sensor AI in multiple new use cases, which
we will explore in coming years. Our leadership position is founded upon a team of engineering
professionals and industry experts in Data Fusion, AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision.
The team is driven by a lifelong commitment to solve real problems with better-built solutions that benefit
from Data Fusion insights.
Outside of SenSen, we are emboldened by what other people are doing with Sensor AI. Two popular examples
are:
Autonomous vehicles – self-driving cars have multiple cameras and sensors to help them navigate city
streets and highways, avoiding obstacles and reaching their destination safely. After years of R & D a n d
millions of miles of testing, they are poised to become mainstream.
Mars Rover – no single sensor can provide all the data about the Martian landscape for a vehicle to do its job,
but each sensor contributes building blocks of information that can be stacked together to build understanding.
Some technologies of the Mars Rover are specific for space, such as jet propulsion and entry descent and landing,
but most are familiar to anyone who’s worked in transportation or engineering: Radars and Lidars calculate
distance, cameras watch out for obstacles, and motion detectors are alert for disturbances.
These two examples deal with highly complex operating environments. But Sensor AI is not science fiction, it’s
happening within our lifetime. And it is about to revolutionise urban living and many sectors of the modern world
where people, objects and places need to operate both harmoniously and synergistically.
Some of SenSen’s solutions using Sensor AI include:
Road safety – we protect school zones, catch speeding motorists, and monitor dangerous road behavior
Parking – we enable congestion free parking experience
Retail – we theft and optimise instore operations
Casinos – we help with harm minimisation, Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer
The world of Sensor AI applications is a fast-growing market. According to Market Study Report, the
worldwide video analytics market was valued at US$4.23 billion in 2020 and is projected to register a
year-over-year growth rate of 16.05% compound annual growth rate during 2021 through 2028,
amassing a US$11.12 billion by the end of the forecast period.
Our investment thesis is to grow a global business based on the foundations of Sensor AI technology – to
develop products that extract and collect images and data from multiple devices (including video, audio,
temperature and more) across multiple mobile cloud-based networks to extract richer insights than
any single sensor device can provide alone.

Sensor AI and Our Platform
People often ask, “What is being done to prevent Sensor AI from being misused or used maliciously?” At
SenSen, we’ve built our platform to meet the highest global standards of data privacy including General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Recognising the sensitivity and confidentiality of data, we have pioneered
new data privacy measures such as facial masking and critical-access data controls.
Similarly, to ensure we gain and retain our customers’ trust in using our Sensor AI systems, we have a heavy
focus on accuracy, dependability, explainability and monitoring, qualities built in from the start of
development.
At SenSen, we optimise the mix between existing customers and emerging R&D technology in the lab. We
look through a commercial lens. W h i l e o ur focus is on building out our ARR and sales networks, in parallel
we continue to build our patent vault and work on new inventions in our Emerging Solutions laboratory with
industry partners in sports analytics, aged care, logistics and homeland security.

Sensor AI and Our Platform
Patent Portfolio
We haven’t stopped innovating throughout the pandemic and our IP Vault now has more than 60 entries.
Each of our patent families is a set of related patents registered in the most important jurisdictions where we
believe an invention built around a patent family will be commercialised.
The patent families form an IP Vault providing SenSen with a competitive advantage and leverage when
penetrating new markets with innovative products, or in entering into licensing and cross-licensing
negotiations with commercial partners.
Snapshot of SenSen IP Vault, including recent growth:
Six patents families granted in Smart Cities, Retail, Smart Surveillance and Gaming, including in key jurisdictions
such as USA, Japan, Canada, Israel, Singapore, Macau, Australia. An additional four patent families have patents
filed and pending,. Additional patents being drafted.
In each case, SenSen’s work has been recognised as unique and inventive by a sovereign authority in the
relevant jurisdiction – an intellectual property (IP) right belonging to SenSen. SenSen will continue to pursue
patent protection in key markets as we undertake significant R&D activities. We are assisted in protecting our
Patent Portfolio by leading Australia IP firm, FB Rice.

Business Update: Record Revenues Since
Listing on the ASX
Financial Summary
ARR Growth Profile by Business Vertical FY 19 – FY 22
In FY2018, the year SenSen listed on the ASX, our ARR component was around 10% of total revenues. We are
delighted to report that ARR is approximately 50% of total revenue in FY21. We expect ARR to grow
exponentially by 140%+ in FY22 (with $1M of ARR in FY22 generated by Scancam).
The image below summarises the trends in relation to ARR over a 4-year period – three years historic and one
for future outlook.
Corporate activity
Growth in 2021 was built upon four significant corporate activities that took place during the course of the
year. None of these activities would be possible without the support of our investors. Again, SenSen
welcomes all new and existing shareholders to our company and we look forward to sharing further success
in the very near term.
September 2020 – New market listing: SenSen wins approval to list on the OTCQB venture market in
the US. The company’s shares trade using ticker symbol SSNSF.
December 2020 – Acquisition: SenSen acquires the Snap Network Surveillance business, a world leader
in AI-powered multi-camera tracking software. The acquisition includes all intellectual property including
patents, trademarks and know-how for A$1M.
January 2021 – Capital raise: SenSen successfully raises $7.15M to fund our international revenue
growth acceleration strategy.
May 2021 – Acquisition (concluded in Q1 FY22): SenSen enters into an agreement to acquire Scancam
Industries Pty Ltd. The acquisition enables SenSen to launch our solutions into the retail business
vertical, starting with Scancam’s Australian client portfolio of national fuel retailers like BP, Ampol
(Caltex) and Chevron (Puma). SenSen also integrates Scancam’s IP into our Sensor AI platform SenDISA
to reduce the cost of adoption of the solution to accelerate growth.

Business Update: Record Revenues Since
Listing on the ASX
US Market Penetration
On 14 September 2020, SenSen achieved an important milestone of listing on the OTCQB (SNNSF) venture market
to enable US investors to easily participate in our growth story. This timing coincided with strong contract
wins with the City of Las Vegas and emerging opportunities with City of Chicago and others in the US. As clearly
stated in our strategy, this is the first of many steps we are taking on our journey to deliver our ultimate objective:
to list on the NASDAQ.
Snap Surveillance Acquisition
The acquisition of the Snap Network Surveillance business, a private company headquartered in South
Australia emanating from the internationally recognised Australian Institute of Machine Learning, brought
new customers, technology and patents into SenSen’s portfolio. These include contracts at airports, high-
security prisons, shopping centres, universities and casinos.
Snap was identified as a leading provider of AI-enabled, multi-camera network relationships discovery and
visualisation software that allows surveillance camera operators to efficiently track persons of interest over
large-scale video surveillance environments. Integrating this technology into the SenDISA platform provided
added features to large-scale video surveillance markets creating the world’s first completely automated
person-tracking solution across an entire surveillance network.
As part of the transaction, Snap’s highly-skilled AI software engineers joined SenSen’s world-leading technical
team, including Dr Henry Detmold, an acknowledged leader in large-scale network video surveillance
solutions.
Capital Raise to Fund International Revenue Growth
In January 2021, SenSen successfully raised $7.15M through the issue of 57,200,000 shares at $0.125 per share
via a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. Funds were used to accelerate growth plans in
North America and establish new headquarters to deliver capabilities to our growing number of US based
partners. As part of the capital raising, SenSen welcomed high-conviction global equities fund manager VGI
Partners as a new Substantial Shareholder.
The successful capital raise led to the establishment of US headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, to help with
expansion plans in North America. This includes the recruitment of a number of senior executives to accelerate
sales and marketing in the region.
The placement was not underwritten.
Scancam Acquisition – Fast Tracking Entry into the Retail Market
Establishing a strong foothold in the retail market was SenSen’s next approach to securing future revenue
growth and success. The strategic acquisition of fuel theft retail expert Scancam – led by highly driven
energetic co-founders Anthony Schmidt and Eoin Byrne – fast tracks our entry in the retail market here in
Australia with a view of securing global customers.
Scancam’s award-winning AI technology prevents drive-offs at service stations, addressing a significant
problem for fuel retailers in Australia. By augmenting Scancam’s technology into SenDISA and SenTRACK,
SenSen can offer the world’s first combined AI, Data Fusion and SaaS solution to prevent theft in retail
environments.
SenSen has welcomed Scancam’s leadership team and staff into our organisation and again, we would like to
thank investors for their support and welcome you all as we relentlessly pursue our next phase of growth.

Smart Cities Update
It’s been another powerful year for our Smart Cities business vertical with new customer wins coming on top of
increased purchases by our existing base. Growth is internationally dispersed with strong performance in North
America, Australia and Singapore being the highlights.
Given the company’s goal is to achieve a NASDAQ listing, building a Smart Cities presence in North America is
key to raising awareness. We have been fortunate to win the support of landmark customers in both Canada
and USA, such that we’ve opened a headquarters for North America.
Our office is located in the dynamic city of Las Vegas, Nevada. We could not have asked for better partners to
make this a reality with our arrival supported by the local business bureaux of both City of Las Vegas and the
Government of Nevada.
Not only do we have a physical location to demonstrate our product suite to potential customers in person,
we’ve hired experienced Smart Cities professional Jim Leida to head up North American sales.
Jim, a driven sales executive with extensive relationship-based sales experience, is known for his winning
personality and far-reaching connections across the industry. Before joining SenSen, Jim successfully built and
managed a sales force for start-up NuPark, which was instrumental in introducing and delivering license plate
recognition technology to Smart City operations across North America. This success led to that company being
acquired for an 8-figure sum in 2018.
Together with the SenSen team – we now have 10 people across North America – Jim has hit the ground
running with deployments and delivery tests in Las Vegas where our company is active in parking manage-
ment and enforcement throughout the city. Las Vegas is a flagship customer for GeminEye, choosing this
disruptive solution of an AI-enabled smartphone to replace expensive hardware installations. This low-cost but
highly accurate product is now the go-to technology for 20+ officers in Las Vegas patrolling city streets in
multiple modes including:
o on city-owned vehicles where we provide Mobile License Plate Recognition systems
o as hand-held scanners scanning and alerting for illegally parked vehicles
o installed in five city-owned and operated parking garages where we watch out for vehicles of interest.
Not only has Las Vegas become a major reference customer in the USA for SenSen, our GeminEye-
enabled solution now generates in excess of $330K per annum in revenue in this city alone.
This early-mover success has already led to expressions of interest from more than a dozen new Smart City
prospects across North America in Q1 of this year, and is part of the reason we have been able to establish
significant partnerships with leading Smart City solution providers in the USA including Passport, AIMS,
Conduent, Cox Communications and others to accelerate sales momentum in the region.

Smart Cities Update
It’s not just Las Vegas where we’re making a mark. Chicago Parking Meters LLC has ordered two additional
systems with a focus on our new ground-breaking and patent-pending invention: Environmental Mapping
Technology (EMT – more on this below). We delivered this system in June 2021 and look forward to sharing the
results in the future.
Supported by a stable flagship customer base that includes customers in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada,
SenSen’s revenue base in North America now completely funds operations in the region. With the new
headquarters and senior people in place, SenSen is well-positioned for continued growth.
Asia-Pacific
Australia remains our traditional base for Smart Cities and once again, our financial performance is built upon new
wins and increased support from satisfied customers. We added a new office in Queensland – at innovation
precinct Lumina on the Gold Coast – and hired experienced Smart City pioneer Nathan Rogers who came to SenSen
after previous roles at Parsons Brinckerhoff, Patrick Stevedores and local government.
New customers welcomed in 2021 include:
Port Stephens Council (NSW) – through our partner Duncan Solutions
National Capital Authority (ACT) – through our partner Duncan Solutions
Hills Shire Council (NSW) – acquired in collaboration with our partner SCS
Care Park Pty Ltd
Nelson City Council (NZ) – through our partner ITS Global Parking Solutions
Lumley Centre (NZ) – through our partner Imperium IQ
A number of customers extended their commitment or increased orders:
City of Gold Coast, Queensland
City of Brisbane, Queensland
Ipswich City Council, Queensland
National Parks of NSW, New South Wales
Transport for NSW (TfNSW), New South Wales
Singapore Land Transport Authority, Singapore
We have solved a particularly challenging problem for
innovative customer Brisbane City Council which has
become the first Smart City to place an order for our new
patent- pending invention: Environmental Mapping
Technology (EMT).
EMT has the potential to revolutionise the way cities
around the world manage parking fines and monetise
kerbside access because it solves the problem of urban
canyoning – the phenomenon which causes GPS to fail in
built-up areas.
Invented by SenSen during COVID-19, EMT enables a vehicle to know its location based on its surroundings instead
of relying on a GPS signal. By combining EMT with SenSen’s street zone mapping technology, a council officer can
patrol the entire CBD and automatically spot infringements in restricted zones – bus, loading, taxi, clearway and
other parking zones. This removes the need for parking officers to patrol the city on foot and allows them to issue
tickets from the back office which are mailed directly to the owner of an infringing vehicle.

Smart Cities Update
Local governments can manage the use of city kerbsides by taxis, ride shares, tradespeople and
delivery trucks
Vehicle-based enforcement shields council staff from attack and abuse by members of the public
Staff are protected from adverse environmental conditions such as UV radiation, poor air quality and
vehicular hazards.
Apart from Brisbane, the EMT solution has been trialled successfully by Chicago Parking Meters LLC in the USA.
With its new orders Brisbane now has seven vehicle-mounted systems, the largest SenSen deployment in
Australia. We are confident that more systems will be ordered in the near future.
In addition, as our systems generate additional infringement tickets due to this expanded fleet and usage, we
are confident this will generate additional ongoing software license fees and revenues.
Elsewhere, we have successfully completed trials of GeminEye for automated enforcement using fixed
cameras for Secure Parking NZ Limited in Auckland, New Zealand. Further systems have been ordered by
Secure Parking for installation and testing in Brisbane.
We have successfully completed trials of GeminEye for automated enforcement by car park
operator CarePark. We have also delivered on two production systems for CarePark – one of them to support
their operations in Wellington, NZ and another to support their operations in Canberra.
We are working closely with UbiPark, EasyPark, CelloPark, Duncan Solutions, ITS Global and others within the
pay-by-phone and pay-by-plate solutions space in several joint opportunities.
SenSen is participating in several paid POCs and trials with customers including:
Distracted driver detection and enforcement
School zone safety monitoring and enforcement
Local government solutions
Elsewhere in Asia-Pacific, we successfully completed Bus Lane Enforcement trials in Singapore in collaboration
with STE for the Land Traffic Authority with production orders expected soon, and began trials with Singapore
Police.
“Supported by a stable flagship customer base that
includes customers in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada,
SenSen’s revenue base in North America now completely
funds operations in the region.
With the new headquarters and senior people in place,
SenSen is well-positioned for continued growth.”

Retail Update
SenSen’s push into Retail is spearheaded by our acquisition of Scancam Industries Pty Ltd. By adding
Scancam’s technology and team into SenSen, we have unlocked future organic and targeted growth in the
Australian fuel retailer market where Scancam can grow from its existing base of 250 customers to 1,000 in the
next three years.
Looking further ahead, there are a total of 6,500 service stations in Australia which can benefit from our
combined offering.
It’s not just fuel theft we’re targeting. Our dedicated sales team is already looking to secure clients from the
broader retail market in Australia and overseas.
Our combined product suite brings together latest advances in Computer Vision, AI, Cloud Computing and the
Internet of Things (IoT) to solve serious security problem faced by all retailers, not just fuel stations.
We’re starting with Scancam’s blue-chip fuel retail clients including BP, Ampol (Caltex), Chevron, Euro
Garages (formerly Woolworths Caltex) as well as the Western Australia Police Force. These long-standing
clients are located mainly in Western Australia and Queensland, with a growing presence in NSW, Victoria and
the Northern Territory.
They will continue to receive the same unparalleled service they’ve grown to expect from Scancam but will now
have direct access to all SenSen products presenting new opportunities for existing clients to further reduce
losses and enhance operational efficiencies.
Fuel theft costs petrol station operators more than $60 million per year across Australia alone and retail crime
is a billion-dollar problem – both of them are worth taking on for SenSen.

Smart Surveillance Update
Our expansion strategy in Smart Surveillance is built
around SenTRACK which automatically detects and
tracks people throughout a large-scale video
surveillance network. This product has evolved from
Force Multiplier, the lead product of acquiree Snap
Surveillance.
For many years Force Multiplier has been integrated with
the world’s leading video management software systems
including Milestone, Avigilon, Honeywell and Genetec,
and has been installed at sites in the US, Australia, Asia,
Middle East and Europe. Like other products in the Snap
family, Force Multiplier is highly relevant to all SenSen’s
prospective customers and market segments where
there is a need to track persons of interest over large-
scale camera networks in real time or forensically.
SenSen has been independently providing solutions into
this market segment for many years, and upselling the
additional Snap functionality will be appreciated by
SenSen’s existing customer base.
Moving forward, SenTRACK combines the best attributes of IP from both SenSen and Snap. By fusing Snap’s AI-
powered multi-camera networked tracking technology with SenSen’s automated multi-object tracking
technology within individual camera views, we’ve broken new ground with a product capable of automatically
detecting and tracking people throughout a large-scale video surveillance network.
SenTRACK has already attracted the attention of global partners including Milestone Systems (owned by Canon)
and Intel. Together with Milestone and Intel, we’ve launched a joint marketing campaign for SenTRACK and
hired a dedicated resource to support the growing sales, support and pre-sales pipeline.
Our Smart Surveillance technology is currently used to provide safety and security at:
University of Tennessee, where we support multi-camera people tracking across 3700+ cameras
Utah State University, where we support multi-camera people tracking across 500+ cameras
Snapchat corporate facilities, where we support multi-camera people tracking across 1100+ cameras
Rockingham County Schools (North Carolina), where we support multi-camera people tracking across 70
cameras with potential to extend to 3000 cameras in the near future
Riverside University Health System (Riverside, California), where we support multi-camera people tracking
across 95 cameras with potential to extend to 2300 cameras
Merit Medical, 400+ cameras
St Josephs College (Brooklyn, New York), where we support multi-camera people tracking across 70 cameras
with potential to extend to 1500 cameras.
As an example of cross-selling potential within the SenSen group, SenTRACK has been shown to Casino
customers who have been impressed by the results with over 30 expressions of interest in moving to a POC
in the near term. In Singapore, SenTRACK has been shown to several high-profile government agencies and
also to Singapore Police.
All staff and technology from Snap Surveillance are now fully integrated into the workforce and Sensor AI
platform of SenSen.

Casinos Update
In the Casinos market, contracts with Crown Resorts (Melbourne, Australia) and Solaire (Philippines) see us enter
the new year in a strong position for future growth. As customers came to us with new problems in the past year
due to the pandemic and increased regulatory scrutiny, we developed new products for them in:
Table yield management
Solutions to meet compliance obligations
Responsible gaming & harm minimisation
Anti-Money Laundering
Know Your Customer
These products are ready to be deployed as the industry emerges from 18 months of lockdown.
COVID-19 forced the entire leisure and entertainment sector to tackle social distancing, crowd limits, queue
management and mandatory wearing of masks. All of these will become more prominent themes as borders
re-open and more variants of the coronavirus emerge.
At SenSen, we are well equipped to help in all areas thanks to casino-facing products built upon our tech
platform, SenDISA. By combining computer vision with other sensors, we can tell how many people are in a
venue at any time, how crowded each room is, and whether patrons are wearing masks.
All this is done without breaching personal privacy laws or impeding the speed and enjoyment of play for
casino patrons. Importantly, it protects the safety and security within physical premises. (Despite the success
of online gambling, 74.6% of all casino revenue still comes from old-fashioned bricks and mortar.)
Our software uses a combination of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and includes
techniques such as image capture (knowing the difference between say, a playing card and a gaming chip on a
baccarat table) and object tracking (keeping track of the movement of cards, chips and people in a crowded
public place).
Responsible Gaming & Harm Minimisation
An increasing number of regulatory jurisdictions now insist that venues monitor the gambling behaviour of
patrons, which means knowing the number of hours they spend at the tables and slots.
In Australia lobby groups are agitating for behaviour to be monitored and controlled, and for excluded players
to be denied entry to premises. This requires technology – cameras and software working together, gathering
and cross-referencing data from various databases – to make it happen. This is precisely SenSen’s technology
sweet spot.
Anti-Money Laundering
The worldwide crackdown on AML is gathering pace. In Macau, where concessions are up for review, casinos
need to show they are making strides in this area. In Australia, having stringent AML procedures in place is a
precondition for licences to be held. As above, the solution requires multiple sensors and devices working
together to be effective.
Know Your Customer
The trend towards cashless venues means it’s theoretically easier for casino operators to know who their
customers are, their level of play, and their wins & losses. But for loyalty cards and incentive programs to
operate with optimal efficiency, data needs to be collected from multiple sources for a whole-of-customer
view.
Again, it takes an ability to gather data from multiple sensors and sources, and interrogate it to find the
hidden insights. No single source of data is sufficiently rich on its own but must be analyzed within the proper
context.

Casinos Update
Industry Comes Roaring Back
To showcase SenSen’s prowess in this sector, we attended NIGA 2021 – a gaming industry expo for 7,000
delegates in in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This was a landmark event as it was the first in-person trade show
since the pandemic began. While traditionally focused on tribal casinos, this year saw visitation from all over
the USA as the sector came roaring back after lockdown.
The feedback was conclusive: a) casino operators are focused on business efficiency improvements; and
b) they see technology as the way to achieve the results they desire.
We came away with more than 30 leads and enquiries for SenGAME, SenEYE-D and SenTRACK.
“An increasing number of regulatory jurisdictions now insist
that venues monitor the gambling behaviour of patrons…
This requires technology – cameras and software working
together, gathering and cross-referencing data from various

R&D and Emerging Solutions Update
As a globally ambitious technology company, we
always look to balance revenue generation with an
R&D lab which is continually inventing. Some of
these inventions improve and enhance our existing
product suite, while others will allow us to enter
new vertical markets in the near future.
Our Emerging Solutions unit is developing next-
generation products in response to customer
requests, among them elite sports science,
autonomous vehicles, aged care and robotics. We
look forward to sharing more about these in
coming reports.
When the pandemic closed borders for the past 18 months, as a company we invested significantly into R&D.
Breakthroughs throughout the year include:
1. Environmental Mapping Technology – our EMT invention that determines the location of an object
with military-grade accuracy even when there is no GPS signal available
2. Next-generation SenForce vehicle-mounted pods
3. Rapid deployment kits and software for GeminEye
4. Development of SenVIZ – our Vision Zero solution using cameras and software to help save lives on
roads and highways
5. New methods to reduce false alarms, detect and respond to sensor configuration changes, and
improve productivity across all lines of solutions
6. New methods for high-speed camera sensing, with applications across vehicle analytics, sports
science, casinos and other product lines
7. New configurations of our SenDISA platform to monitor bus lanes and personal mobility vehicles such
as e- scooters
8. New patents to cover inventions in Smart Cities, kerbside sensing and casinos
9. New features to address anti-money laundering within the Casino market
10. New COVID-related technology to monitor social distancing, people counting, compliance verification of
occupancy in buildings, and parking traffic management.
We launched a collaboration effort with leading drone company AVCRM (avcrm.net), a Sydney-based firm
working with city councils, state and local governments, and fire and emergency services. By adding our AI
capabilities to the live data collected by drones, we believe a number of applications are within reach.
We established a partnership with Unisys Australia on a number of joint opportunities within
the Intelligent Transportation sector.
Australian Research Council Recognition
SenSen and the University of Melbourne have successfully attracted a prestigious research grant from the Australian
Research Council (ARC) to develop more accurate and efficient methods to digitise Smart City assets. ARC is
providing A$370K and SenSen is providing ~A$240K to support the three-year collaborative project with both
organisations committing additional in-kind resources. This research will help SenSen develop products and solutions
using AI for traffic engineering departments within city councils.
We have a clear vision of what we want to achieve for the future of SenSen and we look forward to executing on our
plans in the new financial year of 2022 and beyond.

Powering the Smart City of the Future
Q&A with Nathan Rogers, Director of Smart City
Solutions (Asia Pacific)
is an early Smart City innovator, having led
Nathan Rogers
urban solutions for public and private organisations for
almost a decade prior to joining SenSen in March 2021. He
oversees the implementation and ongoing service of
solutions for organisations like Singapore LTA, New South
Wales Roads & Maritime Services, Westgate Bridge,
VicRoads, City of Brisbane and more.
Nathan Rogers, Director
of Smart City Solutions
(Asia Pacific)
1. What are some ways that SenSen’s technology is being used in today’s Smart Cities?
There are two key ways our technology is important to cities if they want to be truly smart, enabling them to
transition to a digital on-demand operating model without leaving their citizens behind.
Firstly, through end-to-end solutions such as our SenFORCE parking compliance solution which provides
detection, identification, review and infringement solutions for cities and parking operators. Our customers
get all the benefits of an end-to-end business process, improving their efficiency and allowing them to do
"more with less", which is an increasing focus for city managers and private enterprises alike.
Secondly, our Sensor AI solutions serve as decision support tools for managing valuable public assets and
keeping cities operating at maximum productivity. By fusing data from multiple sensors – some supplied
by SenSen and some that are already scattered around a city – we provide data-driven insights that are
impossible to obtain from one sensor on its own.
This allows forward-thinking city managers to make smarter and earlier decisions to support placemaking
and other initiatives.
2. How is civilian data protected?
SenSen takes multiple approaches to protect our customer's data. At the first level, we only keep data that
is essential to achieve the outcome required – for as short a time as possible – meaning we hold the
smallest possible dataset for each solution.
Secondly, SenSen performs de-identification on data. In the case of images, we remove objects from the
scene that are not required, such as the faces or licence plates of surrounding people and vehicles. In the
case of personally identifiable information, the data is only used for a specific purpose and workflow controls
make it impossible be re-used for any other purpose.
Thirdly, SenSen's solutions are only deployed on industry-standard ISO27001 environments in the
jurisdiction of the customer unless otherwise requested. This provides assurance that our customer's data
is subject to overarching regulation associated with their jurisdiction. As an example of the controls
available in these environments, SenSen configures its hosting providers to enforce indiscriminate
technical blocks on all known bad actors.

Powering the Smart City of the Future
3. How have some of these data-driven insights initiated change in cities?
SenSen's solutions provide insights that are impossible to obtain any other way. The combination of
data gathered from multiple sensors, including visual evidence from cameras, is compelling and has led
to:
1.
Improved safety in school zones by capturing U-turns and speeding
2. Streamlined commute times by monitoring illegal U-turns and violation of bus lanes
3.
Improved the arrival and departure experience at airports by identifying over-stays
4. Fairer and more efficient use of kerbside space
5. More efficient use of car-parks
In each case a SenSen solution has enabled an increasingly digital workforce in a Smart City to improve
government service delivery and create a better citizen experience, and lifted local economic prospects
which are front and centre of most cities’ corporate strategies.
4. What are some trending issues that city councils come to SenSen with?
Providing equitable access to resources is an increasing challenge as cities become more congested.
SenSen is working with multiple Smart Cities worldwide to provide better support for disability access, fairer
and more equitable parking, and greater management of the kerbside – a public asset that has long been
dominated by private vehicles and is now opening up to on-demand usage.
5. Where are the biggest opportunities for SenSen and Smart Cities into FY22?
SenSen's business processes touch citizens as well as councils and governments. We are building and
seeking opportunities to provide direct AI-driven digital engagement between citizens and Smart Cities.
We’re not too far away from predicting when a citizen may be at risk of breaching a city by-law or
ordinance and proactively notifying them, or allowing citizens to access navigation or local information by
connecting them anonymously to existing city infrastructure.
As image-based AI becomes more prevalent, customers are looking for solutions beyond cookie-cutter AI, and
SenSen's unique data annotation team and multi-sensor technology allows us to answer questions such as
"Tell me how many vehicles longer than 7.5m entered this industrial estate, from the eastern entrance, and
which facilities they visited".
Maintaining our position as one of the few firms that can cost effectively provide answers to questions like
this relies on us being first-mover on all new technology initiatives and using our years of experience to apply
them to problems we know customers face on a daily basis.

How Data Improves the Fast-
Paced World of Leisure & Entertainment
Q&A with Heather Scheibenstock,
Executive Director and CSO, Leisure & Gaming
Heather Scheibenstock has been leading the Casinos
business for SenSen since 2020. She brings her deep
knowledge of the economics, regulation and policy of
legalised gambling worldwide to the table, driving product
development and innovation in the gaming and casino
industries.
Heather Scheibenstock, Executive
Director and CSO, Leisure & Gaming
1. With an increased level of scrutiny on governance, safety and money laundering, how can SenSen’s
solutions protect casinos and their business?
SenSen’s technology is highly adaptive and responsive. It provides accurate information to meet the ever-
evolving requirements of our partners who need solutions so they can operate in accordance with the
governing bodies in each of their regions.
For the first time, the industry has intelligent real-time data to support insights and make decision making
easier – especially when relating to critical operating functions. Casinos can completely know their products
and the impact of their services.
Our data provides accurate metrics to help casino owners and managers decipher and understand behavior,
and to alert for responsible gaming issues such as potential anti-money laundering activity.
2. COVID-19 has imposed restrictions and has limited operations of retail and gaming businesses significantly
this past year. How has this impacted SenSen’s ability to gain traction in this industry?
We prepared for massive disruption due to restricted travel and movement, lockdowns and curfews across the
globe. But we’ve never been busier. We have used this time to innovate and solve our customers’ most
complex problems. We did this by developing a modular product suite and devising a system of installing it
remotely. The cost savings in the improvements we came up with have been passed onto customers with no
need to fly in a team of engineers for on-site installation.
Of course, COVID has had an impact and there has been a ripple effect. UK casinos were closed from January
through to July 2021, the Philippines saw rolling lockdowns and delays of imports, and Australia has had
disruptions with the added complexity of a Royal Commission into the sector.
There are, however, signs of recovery around the globe. Excitingly, the US market is showing strong signs of
not only a recovery but a surge in activity. The gaming industry is experiencing a renaissance with record
numbers of attendance and revenue generated from operations.
The US remains a prime market for SenSen. We are focused on expanding into this new territory with a team of
experts on the ground already hired.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR/CEO
How Data Improves the Fast-
Paced World of Leisure & Entertainment
3. Can you give me an example of how a SenSen-produced insight has improved business operations of a casino or
retail business?
Sensor AI is the next evolution in data analytics for casinos. I will detail one example: side bets. SenSen’s technology
enables casino operators to see which side bets are wagered on and the amount being wagered for the first time.
This allows casino operators to trial new side bets, move locations of side bets and advertise side bets, and be able to see
the value of the changes instantly. This is bet recognition software that works.
Our groundbreaking technology is revolutionising the industry in other ways too:
a. Reducing manual operations and human error
b. Delivering customer insights and analytics (reward recognition)
c. Realtime data tracking, bet monitoring and analysis to create alerts for the enforcement of
responsible gaming and enforce anti-money laundering activity
Many casinos around the world have yet to catch up to the Internet of Things; they are mainly places that
employ highly manual operating methods, both in their delivery of services and assessment of product and
staffing capabilities. SenSen’s casino solution provides casinos with insights and improvements to productivity
by tracking number of games, value of bets and number of players to help casinos improve their yield while
minimizing harm.
4. What is driving uptake of technology in these industries?
SenSen is transforming the casino industry through Sensor AI. In a highly quantitative industry, we improve the
analysis and implementation of systems to streamline labour practices, deliver services and importantly, bring the
industry into line with the rest of the global economy with respect to cashless transactions.
Never before have casino operators had the access to such fast and accurate information. The move away
from manual entries and observation is compelling and unstoppable.
5. How is SenSen innovating for the future in this industry?
Our philosophy is to consider customers as partners. When we partner with owners and managers of
leisure and gaming establishments, and when we look at the markets in which they operate and the
unique problems they are trying to solve, this is where the excitement and agility of our service delivery
comes to life.
The beauty of our Sensor AI technology and proprietary platform SenDISA is simple – it is highly adaptive. This
is SenSen’s point of difference.

Fuel Theft Spearheads Push into Broader Retail
Market
Q&A with Eoin Byrne, Director, Anti-Fuel Theft
Eoin Byrne joined SenSen as a result of the strategic
acquisition of Scancam Industries, an Australian-based fuel
theft- prevention company. His entrepreneurial drive has
resulted in a decorated career as a business leader and his
role at SenSen will see him guide the next evolution of
award-winning fuel theft technology and IP into broader
retail environments.
Eoin Byrne,
Director, Anti-Fuel Theft
1. How will SenSen adapt a fuel-theft solution to broader retail environments?
Retailers in the current market have three areas of focus: increase their top-line revenue, reduce shrinkage and
improve productivity using technology.
Scancam has proven itself to be a leader in the retail loss-prevention space in Australia with our current
solution extracting data from a video stream and interpreting it for actionable results.
SenSen’s SenDISA platform can interpret a high volume of real-time data from a range of devices and sensors.
Integration into the SenDISA platform, combined with our network of existing retailers, will enable us to expand
the meaningful insights we offer to our existing clients and also to grow our customer base.
Using our AI platform, retailers can better understand customer behaviour and increase top-line revenue. We
believe our integrated solutions can create offers that will ultimately generate more revenue through better
customer insights, increased productivity and a reduction in shrinkage.
2. How does this technology work with the existing SenSen platform?
We are currently working on the first of many integrations to provide an easy-to-use platform for all retail
customers. Our respective technologies have a high degree of sophistication enabling them to integrate
seamlessly. Plus our deep knowledge of the fuel market – many sites are min-marts complete with
convenience stores and grocery shopping – allows us to see many organic growth opportunities into the
broader retail category.
3. How can this be applied to international markets?
Global retail theft is in the order of $100 billion annually, of which $51 billion is in the US alone. Our solution is
equally applicable to these global markets as it is in Australia, and is now more accessible than ever with the
SenSen footprint. We believe global conditions created by COVID-19 will only accelerate the need for an end-to-
end solution.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR/CEO
Fuel Theft Spearheads Push into Broader Retail
Market
4. What does this new retail solution offer that makes it better than competitor solutions?
We don’t believe there is a competitor in the market that has a complete end-to-end retail AI data solution
addressing the core issues we are hearing from the sector. The core issues are to increase in revenue, reduce
losses – direct and indirect, staff time, safety etc – and improve productivity.
5. What is the biggest opportunity for SenSen out of this acquisition?
This strategic acquisition is foundational to SenSen’s expansion into the retail industry, enhancing customer
experiences through smart analytics, reliable data and data fusion-driven insights. It is founded upon a
strategy of demonstrating more value to shareholders.
This strategic acquisition will enable SenSen to launch solutions into the retail business vertical starting with
the current client portfolio we bring of national fuel retailers such as BP, Ampol (Caltex) and Chevron (Puma).
Fuel theft is a globally recognised problem that costs Australian operators more than $60M in losses every
year. The strong organic growth opportunities to expand upon Scancam’s current customer base of 250
service stations means this is an exciting period in SenSen’s growth strategy. SenSen will
augment Scancam’s technology to provide a low-to-zero capital expense for retailers.
The future of retail is a hybrid model. While e-commerce and online shopping are growing, currently less
than 15% of the entire retail sales segment is online. Technology and COVID-19 have disrupted the retail
industry but these times of disruption provide opportunities through reinvention. SenSen sees petrol
stations and convenience stores as the starting point to solve important retail customer problems before
moving to acquire larger retail chains as customers.
“Using our AI platform, retailers can better
understand customer behaviour and increase top-line
revenue. We believe our integrated solutions can create
offers that will ultimately generate more revenue through
better customer insights, increased productivity
and a reduction in shrinkage.”

Case Study 1
Protecting School Campuses and Highly
Sensitive Facilities
Facilities protected: Education campuses, busines parks, airports
Location: USA
Key partner: Milestone Systems
SenSen’s AI surveillance solution, SenTRACK, improves situational awareness and operational efficiency
at sensitive facilities, including university campuses, business parks and airports.
Context
Security on student campuses is a top concern,
especially in the USA. From dorm rooms and lecture
halls to sports complexes and libraries, many
different areas need monitoring to ensure the
safety of students, staff and facilities. But campus
administrators face many unique challenges when it
comes to security. Prominently placed cameras can
act as a deterrent and warn thieves, trespassers and
vandals that they may be monitored. But
oftentimes, even after heavy investment,
surveillance systems fail to ensure a safe campus
environment. Campus security personnel need to
know the layout of the site which can take months
of training. And, despite this training, operators
sometimes fail to manage critical incidents or
respond promptly.
Keeping Facilities Managers in the Know
Seamlessly integrated into security management systems, SenSen’s SenTRACK effectively addresses these
challenges. This smart solution is designed to help campus security effectively respond to critical incidents.
The power of our solution is to make it easy for operators, regardless of their skills or expertise, to track
people over large-scale camera networks in live and forensic video.
Vast Improvement on Traditional Surveillance Systems
Traditional surveillance systems rely heavily on the operator’s skills and expertise to respond to incidents.
Unfortunately, this human factor is often the weakest link in a campus security control room. SenTRACK
addresses this issue by making it easy for any system operator to confidently and effectively pursue a
target between cameras throughout a large multi-camera facility.
New security staff no longer need to waste time learning the layout of the system because they don’t need
to know where cameras are positioned nor the layout of the site to follow the action. This intuitive analytic
effectively learns how all cameras relate to each other. It then leverages the operator’s peripheral view
and uses subtle on-screen indicators to display the most likely next location of the object being tracked.
SenSen Annual Report FY2021
sensen.ai
31
Case Study 1
SenTRACK can even find gaps between camera fields of view, both an audit function informing camera fleet
investment and a visual cue to operators to wait for targets to appear after they transit across a gap.
Additionally, with tag and track functionality, operators can “tag” an individual and the system will
automatically follow the person throughout an entire campus.
Because operators no longer need local site knowledge to be effective, there’s no ramp-up time needed.
Security personnel can successfully perform these tasks from day one with minimum training. SenTRACK acts
like an accurate pair of eyes and eliminates the impacts of human fatigue, error and lack of skills.
Ensure Employee Safety
SenTRACK can be used for virtual walkthroughs of campus facilities to verify the absence of intruders. This
helps ensure the safety of security personnel by eliminating the chances of them unknowingly meeting an
intruder. Security guards can scan the entire premises for threats without being physically present.
And thanks to seamless integration with security management systems, whenever a potential threat is detected,
they can quickly activate various deterrents such as alarms and strobe lights. Most of the time this will scare away
would-be criminals, but it also ensures campus security only notify law enforcement when necessary, saving
time filing police reports.
No Need to Replace Existing Cameras
Creating a safer campus environment doesn’t need to be an expensive, time-consuming task. SenTRACK
captures and analyses data from existing camera feeds and sensors – passive infrared sensors (PIRs), Lidar and
Radar – so there’s no need to completely replace equipment. And, with real-time notifications, site managers
can rest assured that their operators can efficiently respond to high-stress situations such as active shooters on
site.
Additionally, SenSen offers support for hybrid solutions combining legacy cameras and smart cameras
running on all major systems, so if needed customers can migrate their camera fleet at their own pace.
Forensic Evidence Capture
SenTRACK also offers improved forensic efficiency. It can track individuals backward in time to determine when
and where they first appeared on campus. Operators can then create video evidence while continuously
tracking other objects. They can also create campus-wide incident reports and share multi-camera evidence
videos. This all radically reduces the costs and speed of reporting evidence.
Improve Overall Surveillance Capabilities
As well as detecting events and triggering alarms, the scalable solution helps site managers review their
campus security strategy so they can continuously improve and immediately spot faults within the system.
Thanks to built-in audit functionality, it lets them know if there are any repairs or upgrades needed.
For instance, it can determine if there are gaps in camera coverage, black spots, duplications, or even
broken cameras. So they’ll know if additional cameras are needed and they’ll gain valuable insights on
network expansion and enhancements.
Taking Control of the Campus
Even in the most complex large-scale campus environments, SenTRACK helps facility managers confidently
take control of the entire surveillance system. SenSen’s AI-enabled, multi-camera tracking software also offers
people counting and occupancy metrics within facilities. All this valuable information helps campus security
understand the flow of movement within the facilities knowing they’ll be notified of potential overcrowding to
ensure safety and health on the campus.

Case Study 2
Better Parking in the World’s Smartest City
Location: Singapore
Area monitored: 721 sq/km (278 sq miles)
Population density: 7,804 persons per sq/km
Road network length: 3,440 km (2,138 miles)
Given its high rates of car ownership and urban density, parking spots are a premium resource in
Singapore. It isn’t fair – or workable – for motorists to make more use of car parks than permitted.
SenSen’s video and real-time sensing solution keeps things moving for the benefit of the entire
community.
Context
Singapore has almost one million vehicles – including just
over 600,000 private and rental cars – on a road network
that takes up 12% of its total land area. That’s a lot of cars,
and a lot of parking to monitor. With high population
density and car ownership, any impediment to free-
flowing traffic is a continual concern. Singapore needs to
ensure that cars move smoothly and safely between
roads and car parks.
Motorists who overstay parking limits prevent fair and
equitable use of a city’s attractions for all residents, and
this can cause knock-on effects for tourism and local
business. Singapore wants to monitor and control parking
behaviour throughout the city.

can snowball into gridlock if not dealt with quickly and
smoothly.
Parking Access Made Fairer for All People
Parking limits have to be enforced to ensure that as many motorists as possible can use each car parking spot.
And, therefore, as many people as possible can access and enjoy the attractions and businesses of the city.
SenSen’s solution monitors parking spots throughout Singapore, identifying and locating individual cars.
Automated infringement notices help to ensure that drivers don’t overstay their welcome. Real-time data
collection of photographs and vehicle registration information provides evidence of infractions and ensures the
correct person receives the ticket.

Case Study 2
100+ Hotspots Monitored
SenSen’s custom-designed solution for Singapore monitors parking at 117 locations that are particularly
prone to issues, including Changi Airport and many prime tourist attractions. The system identifies over-
stayers and illegal parking, resulting in decreased gridlock at these hotspots.
Value-Adding in Singapore
When Singapore turned to SenSen, it gained access to a suite of automated tools that report on urban
infrastructure conditions in real time. City managers can now make decisions based on reliable and up-to- date
information. Working with partners and customers in Singapore, we’ve provided solutions to:
Reduce false alarms from 700 cameras monitoring traffic conditions
Watch out for unattended luggage and vehicle overstays at Changi Airport and Jewel Retail Complex
Monitor the use of kerbsides at prominent locations
Enforce legal and proper use of bus lanes
Using automated tools to enable evidence-based decision making allows effective management of urban
infrastructure.
Thanks to SenSen, Singapore’s roads are faster to navigate, congestion is eased, and popular locations can
support a greater number of daily visitors.

Case Study 3
Making School Safety the No 1 Priority
Location: Australia
Population of local council area: 250,000+
Area/Size: 1,000 sq km
Number of schools in area: 75
Number of roads: approx. 4,000
Background: To create a safe environment for children around school zones
Before: 100 visits by council officers per year spread across 75 schools within one municipality
With SenSen: number of visits increased to 1,000 with all school zones covered
The Need: Behaviour change of motorists
Before: 4,000 infringements spotted
With SenSen: 12,000 infringements spotted
Context
In recent years, a rearrangement of local government boundaries has seen major expansion of several city and
rural councils in Australia. Coupled with a robust economy, looking after the safety of a rapidly increasing
population is a primary concern. After undertaking a national search, a Top-Five Council turned to SenSen for
help with automating and processing traffic and parking infringements that were endangering children and
inhibiting business throughout its municipal network.
Prior to SenSen, Council officers could only manage 100 school visits each year. Each visit required 2-3 officers
attending each site personally for 1-2 hours, actively working to record infringements.
With SenSen, the Council increased its school zone patrolling by 900%. Each school is part of
geographical cluster with nearby schools, so rather than multiple officers at a single school, SenSen’s
solution allows a single officer to visit all sites in a cluster in an afternoon, automatically recording
infringements as cars drive through the area. The officer doesn’t even need to get out of the car,
minimising unpleasant personal encounters with angry motorists.
Improved Safety for Parking Officers
Council managers reported that patrol officers were at risk of personal injury while doing their job. Staff
often needed to get close to an offending vehicle to obtain photographic evidence of infringements, then
issue a notice. This led to many unpleasant confrontations with drivers angry about receiving a ticket and
becoming argumentative or even abusive. Added stress and strain was taking its toll on personnel.
SenSen has improved the safety and wellbeing of parking officers. Officers no longer need to physically
approach a vehicle to check whether it’s parked legally, to get evidence of an infraction, or to issue a ticket.
They can stay within their vehicle and let the SenSen solution identify infractions and automatically issue
electronic notices of infringement.
SenSen Annual Report FY2021

Case Study 3
Improved Payment Collection
Parking officers used to write out physical tickets and place these on the windscreen of offending vehicles. The
Council found that over 50% of fines were not paid before the original deadline. These had to be manually
processed to create and send reminder letters. If offenders still failed to pay the fine, the council delegated
debt collection to the State Government.
Thanks to SenSen’s Roads and Parking solution, the process is now modified and automated. Offenders
receive their ticket via regular mail with all applicable information included: photograph of the infringement,
date, time, and their full name and address.
The Council has found that this creates a sense of ownership and responsibility, and has improved the rate of
initial fine payments.
Efficient End-to-End Automation
With handwritten, physical tickets came extra data entry. The parking officer wrote the ticket, then an
administration officer entered the data into the computer system. With the extra data entry came the risk of
human error – mistakes in the street address, offender’s name or vehicle registration number. If the receiver
of the ticket didn’t pay by the final due date, an administration officer would manually search the Department
of Transport database, locate the vehicle owner’s details, and copy them into the computer system. This
added more risk of human error, and extra administration time and effort.
By working with SenSen, the Council eliminated double-handling and significantly minimised administrative
effort. The system captures all relevant information as soon as an infraction is detected, thanks to integration
with the Department of Transport. The sending of infringement notices and reminders is fully automated. The
system also automatically refers unpaid fines to the debt collection department after the grace period is
complete.
The Council needed to monitor vehicle driving behaviour around schools and business districts. Schools in
particular tend to see a lot of unpredictable actions from young children, which is why school zones with
lower speed limits are enforced throughout Australia. Drivers failing to follow pick-up and drop-off rules were
further endangering their own and other people’s children.
The Council also needed to regulate parking around high-traffic business areas as frequent failures to comply
with parking regulations cause serious loss of income for affected businesses.
With SenSen’s support and ingenuity, the Council was able to decrease the number of officers attending
each location by up to 66%. It was also able to increase the number of infringement notices given out by
200%.
Fewer Contentions in Court
SenSen’s solution collects more data upfront, giving the Council far better substantiation of its infringement
claims. Because the system is automated, it removes personalities from the equation – making it impossible
for offenders to claim that fines were issued by officers out of spite or malice. Accurate data has given the
system a good reputation and its processes are accepted as valid by the courts. While 4-6 cases each year still
go to court, in most of these the offender pleads guilty.
SenSen is firm in its commitment towards the improved wellbeing of cities and their citizens – fewer court
cases and far fewer losses are just a part of it.

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

(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 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; and
long-term incentives (LTIs) through participation in the SenSen Long Term Incentive Plan (“the

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration Report (Audited) (cont’d)
(d) Long-term incentives (LTIs)
SenSen’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“The Plan”) was approved by shareholders at the 2021 General
Meeting (GM). 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.
(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.

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.
The factors that are considered to affect shareholder return in the past 5 years are summarised below:

Prior Years
Rights to shares under the LTI scheme (LTI shares) were granted on 28 March 2018. Under the LTI Plan, the
Company issued 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 were determined based on
percentage 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 a floor price of $0.25 each.
The number of LTI Shares were issued annually in three tranches for the years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019
and 30 June 2020. The LTI shares vested annually on 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020. If an
executive ceases employment before the rights vest, the rights were forfeited. The fair value of the LTI shares was
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
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 20 September 2021 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 2021 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 27.
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.
Significant Accounting Policies
(b) 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 2021 of $3,408,976 (30 June 2020: $3,026,498) and as at 30 June 2021 has a net asset position of
$6,305,452 (30 June 2020: $721,450). The Group also generated a loss after tax for the year of $3,021,747 (30
June 2020: $3,705,235).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon 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
The directors do not expect a significant impact on the Group from COVID-19.
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.

(c)
Revenue Recognition
AASB 15 applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of
other standards. The 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 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.
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.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Sale of Hardware, Software Licence 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. The licences granted to customers
provide a right for them to access the software.
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. Revenue is measured on a straight-line basis,
which best depicts the Group’s performance.
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. Revenue on service
contracts is measured on a straight-line basis, which best depicts the Group’s performance.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms on customer invoices is disclosed in note 1 (i) below.
(d) Changes in Accounting Policies
New accounting standards
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Several other amendments
and interpretations were applied for the first time during the year, but these changes did not have an impact on the
Consolidated Group’s financial statements and hence, have not been disclosed. The Consolidated Group adopted
the amendments to AASB 3 Business Combinations which clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated
set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together,
significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without
including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments were considered and
applied for the business combinations entered into by the Consolidated Group during and post the financial year.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021
reporting periods. The Consolidated Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. The
Consolidated Group has assessed the impact of these new standards and interpretations and does not expect that
there would be a material impact on the Consolidated Group in the current or future reporting periods and on
foreseeable future transactions.
(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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(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.
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 three 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 Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, 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.
SenSen Annual Report FY2021
sensen.ai
63
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(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.
(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(n) 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 Depreciation rate per annum
Computer equipment 33 – 50%
Furniture and equipment 20 – 33%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives 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) Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as per the Business Combination policy in note 1 (e). Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries
is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to
the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination
in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments.
SenSen Annual Report FY2021
sensen.ai

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Intellectual Property
Separately acquired intellectual property is shown at historical cost. Intellectual property acquired in a business
combination is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
The useful live applied to the recognised intellectual property is 7 years.
(n) 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.
(o) 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.
Borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position 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.
(p) 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.
All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
Employee benefits – long term obligations
The Group also has liabilities for long service leave that is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after
the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Thee obligations are therefore measured
as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to
the end of the reporting period. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the
reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms that match the estimated future cash outflows.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is
expected to occur.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(q) 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 26. 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.
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
The group leases office space and motor vehicles. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 8
years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range
of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not
be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is
available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance
cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the
asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis, and range between one and three years. These assets
are also subject to impairment, as per Note 1(n).
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined,
the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the
funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and
conditions.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and
any initial direct costs.
The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a
change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination
penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to
profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. The Group has elected not to
recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months of less
(with no extension options) and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit
or loss as incurred.

(r)
Inventory
The Group’s inventory consists of hardware and other finished goods, which are stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost comprises direct purchase price and is determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(s) Financial instruments
The Group measures financial instruments under the requirements of AASB 9. 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.
Financial assets
Financial assets (trade and other receivables) and financial liabilities are 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.
Impairment of financial assets
In determining the impairment of financial assets under AASB 9, an expected credit loss model is applied. 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 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. While cash
and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, there was no material impairment
loss identified.
(t) 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.
(u) 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.

(v) 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.
Research and development tax incentive
The company is eligible for the Commonwealth Government research and development tax incentive. To be eligible
the company must meet stringent guidelines on what represents both core and supporting activities of research and
development. Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will
comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
(w) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on
which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The
acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer to note 1 (e)).
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the
transferred asset.
(x) Segment reporting
Refer to note 2 for the accounting policy and disclosures relating to the Group’s operating segments.
(y) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(z) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
The profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than
ordinary shares;
By the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
The after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares; and
The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(aa) 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) Share-based payments (note 26)
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.

(ii) Recognition of revenue (note 1 (c))
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 (c) for each individual element contained within the contract.
(iii) Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets (note 1 (n))
The Group is required to perform an annual impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets,
comparing the recoverable amount (i.e. the value-in-use) of the cash-generating unit to the carrying value of the
cash-generating unit. Assumptions are applied in this assessment, including the forecast period growth of the cash-
generating unit, the long term growth rate and the discount rate of the cash-generating unit.
(iv) Government Grants (note 1 (v))
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.
(v) Research and development tax incentive
The company is eligible for the Commonwealth Government research and development tax incentive. To be eligible
the company must meet stringent guidelines on what represents both core and supporting activities of research and
development. Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will
comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
2. 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.
The principal areas of operation of the group are as follows:
- Smart Cities
- Casinos

Impairment test for goodwill
Goodwill is monitored by management at the lowest cash-generating unit level, being that of Snap Network Surveillance
Pty Ltd. The goodwill is therefore entirely allocated to this cash-generating unit.
The Group tests whether the goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. For the 2021 reporting period,
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) was determined based on value-in-use calculations which
require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by
management covering a five-year period.
Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated long term growth rate attached to consumer
price indexation (CPI), estimated at 3% as at 30 June 2021. These growth rates are consistent with forecasts included in
industry reports specific to the industry in which each CGU operates. The value-in-use calculations are discounted to
their net present value using a pre-tax discount rate, reflecting specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the
countries in which the cash-generating unit operates. As at 30 June 2021, the Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate
of 18.82%.
Impairment of possible changes in key assumptions
The budgeted cash flows within the five year forecast period would have to decrease by 26.5% per annum from forecast
levels in order for a material impairment expense to arise at 30 June 2021. Separately, the pre-tax discount rate applied
to the cash flow projections of the cash-generating unit would need to be 60% higher (i.e. 30.11%) than managements
estimate (18.82%) in order for a material impairment expense to arise at 30 June 2021.
Management do not consider these reasonably possible changes, and as such, no impairment expense on the cash-
generating units carrying value is recognised at 30 June 2021.

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; the operating currency for Indian subsidiary is the IR, and the operating
currency for both of the US and the Singapore subsidiaries is US$.
(b) Interest Risk
The Group’s borrowings during 2020 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 2021 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 $4,306. (2020: $6,564)
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to
recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in
the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. A general security deed is held by Rocking
Horse Nominees Pty Ltd at 30 June 2021 Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board.
The Group has a material credit risk exposure related to a deferred payment owing on sale of subsidiaries - PT Alam
Duta Kalimantan (ADK) and PT Citra Bara Prima (CBP) and a sale of tenements B34 and Papua . However, the Board
has resolved to make a provision for expected credit losses of the amounts owing to the sale of subsidiaries as payment
has not been received in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. Under the Settlement Agreement with Nugroho
Suksmanto, the total receivable was IDR 70 billion Rupiah plus interest of IDR 8.75 billion Rupiah (total of 78.75 billion
Rupiah or $6.8 million) which remained unpaid. Although the Company continues to pursue the debt, the Board has
resolved during the current financial year to write off the amounts owing on the sale of subsidiaries as payment has not
been received in accordance with the settlement agreement. As disclosed in Note 10, the Group has written off the
balance previously held and provided for during the current financial year.
The Group does not have any other material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty, except for its holdings of
cash which is held with the Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Bank of America.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
Approach to determining expected credit losses
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to the Group’s right to consideration for
performance complete to date before payment is due and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade
receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade
receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.
The expected loss rates are based on the historical payment profiles. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect
current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the
receivables including consideration of the uncertain economic environment arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group has considered whether the expected loss rates are required to be
increased due to the uncertain economic environment arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Group has identified the GDP, country specific unemployment rates and the outlook for customer industries as the
most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.
Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment
plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. The
Group has assessed that there is no material credit loss exposure on trade receivables and contract assets.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses within operating
profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
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.

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 2021, 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 2021 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code)
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
Revenue Recognition
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Group’s revenue recognition disclosures are
included in Note 1 (c), detailing the accounting
policies applied under AASB 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.
The assessment of revenue recognition was
significant to our audit due to revenue being a
material balance in the financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2021, and there being a
level of complexity to the contracts regarding
performance obligations, and revenue being
recognised either over time or at a point in time.
The recognition of revenue largely depends on
the terms of the underlying contracts with
customers. Contracts can be complex and
bespoke. In particular, significant judgement 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 for compliance with
Australian Accounting Standards
Developing an understanding of the
various revenue streams and the Group’s
revenue recognition policies for each
stream through discussions with
management
Reviewing a sample of key customer
contracts for each revenue stream 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 markets 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 2021, 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.

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
