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 world’s leading Live Fusion AI platform, SenDISA, that powers all SenSen applications. It’s a platform that has generated record revenues for our company YoY while improving the lives of millions of people who enjoy safer roads, more pleasant commuting journeys, more efficient parking, reduced crime and leisure opportunities because of it. Best of all, we’re only just getting started. It’s a horizontal AI technology platform capable of gathering, analyzing 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. We currently have 10 patent families. Of these, 8 families have granted patents and 2 are pending. In FY 2022 we lodged one new provisional application, three PCT applications, three divisional applications, three Australian innovation patents, and two convention applications based on an existing provisional application. In addition, there are five draft applications being prepared for filing. Against the backdrop of extreme world events, like the war in Ukraine, uncontrolled inflation globally and COVID-19 induced supply chain and labour shortages, SenSen continued to grow strongly. The following are the key highlights for FY22: • The company delivered record revenues of $9.1M (65% growth YoY) and record annual customer cash receipts of over $8.9M for FY22. • ARR has grown from a run rate of $4.0M at the end of June 2021 to $6.0M by end of June 2022 and is on track to grow to $8.0M by the end of H1 2023. • Our customer net retention rate for FY22 is 103% (2022: 120%+), which reflects the value we bring to • • improving the business operations and customer service experiences of our customers. In alignment with our active growth strategy, SenSen acquired Scancam Industries, a world leader in AI- powered fuel theft reduction. This strategic acquisition enabled SenSen to accelerate growth into smart surveillance with a focus on fuel retail. Successful integration of Scancam into SenSen’s technology stack enabled us to grow the customer base from 250 to 330 in FY22 and we are on track to grow the market further in FY23 and beyond. • This followed the successful capital raise of $10M in November 2021 indicating strong market demand from institutional and sophisticated investors as well as existing shareholders who participated through an SPP into our investment thesis. The funds are being invested to accelerate revenue and enhance our delivery capabilities to global customers, especially in the USA. • We developed three new products – Scancam Edge, SenFORCE EMT, SenPIC – and lodged one new patent application while continuing to progress earlier patent applications. • Our company won the Best Product Innovation from Parking Australia for SenFORCE EMT. • We applied our patented skeletal tracking technology to sports analytics applications and progressed multiple trials with various sports governing bodies and organisations. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 3 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & CEO • Unveiled recent breakthroughs we have achieved with solar and drones; these were built to handle AI processing in tough Australian conditions but are proving in demand from many international locations. • Worked with blue-chip Smart City customers Chicago and Las Vegas who are using our Australian ingenuity to deal with a post-COVID surge in tourists and the resumption of commercial activities. We have committed to continued investment in SenSen’s technology capability to deliver on our future roadmap. We 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 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 from three Casinos to 30+ Casinos in 2-3 years o Grow SenSen’s Fuel Theft solutions offering from 330+ to 1000+ in 2-3 years.

Live Fusion is a category of AI solutions that is concerned with automating Live (real-time) operations by fusion of Live streaming cameras and sensors to solve problems faced by enterprises in their everyday operations. Live Fusion • • Live refers to real-time operational scenarios in physical environments. Fusion refers to integration of data from multiple sources to extract accurate insights that are otherwise impossible to obtain from a single source. • Data sources of particular interest in Live physical environments are cameras, GPS and sensors like Lidar, Radar and other contextual sources like GIS, transactional data like payments/permits, textual data, and other data. Over the last decade, SenSen has been developing a highly reconfigurable Live Fusion platform – SenDISA – which injects data from cameras and sensors in physical environments like cities, airports, casinos, retail stores and others to: • • Track objects with location, time, and other attributes such as people, vehicles, and assets in motion and in real-time In complex scenarios such as parking in Smart Cities, table games in casinos, surveillance in airports & seaports Our technology and products are proven in multiple business verticals with blue chip and government clients and in multiple geographies. Intellectual property has been built over 15 years working in close collaboration with customers having Live Fusion problems and protected by multiple patents. 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 6 SENSOR AI & LIVE FUSION PLATFORM SENDISA Problems We Solve SenSen’s Live Fusion is used to solve problems for a wide range of customer use cases. The following are the defining characteristics of Live Fusion problems, and they exist in every kind of enterprise. The problems are related to the: • • • core business of the client, e.g. generating revenue, managing costs or delivering an exceptional customer experience that directly ties to the value proposition activities happening in a complex physical environment captured by cameras and sensors; and fusion of data from multiple sources which delivers richer insights than any single source of data. SenSen’s competitors differ from one market segment to another; they typically do things manually or use point products with limited functionality that do not meet all the requirements of the problem. Many competitor solutions cannot handle the exponential complexity of complete requirements to solve customer problem. In contrast, thanks to SenDISA, SenSen can use a platform approach to address exponentially complex live fusion problems. This approach is superior because: • • single point products are limited in scope and often do not meet the full spectrum of customer requirements single point products frequently spiral into highly competitive environments with continuously lowering margins, ie the commodity trap. Platform-based solutions, meanwhile, can meet the full spectrum of customer requirements because they are easily customizable and configurable. Once the first customer’s pain points are resolved, the product can be rolled out to new customers quickly and easily. Plus, once a customer knows SenSen is adding value, they are open to up-selling and cross-selling new modules and add-ons that are essentially configurations of the same platform. The best-known live fusion platforms in the world are driver-less cars and advanced robots where cameras and sensors operate in real-time to achieve high-level objectives like navigating from one place to another or performing complex tasks autonomously. However, until now few such platforms have been available to solve enterprise problems linked to operational scenarios happening live (in real-time). That’s because they need to use similarly sophisticated analysis and fusion used in autonomous vehicle but for enterprise objectives such as increasing revenue, cutting costs, improving productively and safety, or improving the customer experience. SenSen is leading the way in developing such a platform. We have invested over 15 years of intense research to develop SenDISA that is today solving Live Fusion problems in multiple industries, use cases and multiple geographies delivering unprecedented value to customers. Some examples of Live Fusion problems that SenSen is able to solve using the Live Fusion platform approach are outlined here. Civic Compliance Problems for Cities • • • • Problem: Parking is a necessary revenue generator for cities while also maintaining fairness for business owners, commuters and shoppers. Live: Operational scenario is to check if motorists are parked legally and paying for the spaces used. Fusion: Location of vehicle, signage, occupancy, disability permits and at-risk plates. Environment: Cities are a complex grid of vehicles, parking configurations, day/night rules and on/off street rules. Exponential Complexity: Complex business rules related to parking need integration of cameras, GPS, GIS, payments/permits, signage and civic regulations. • Market Opportunity: City Council Parking Operations • • Competition: Manual enforcement operations and Mobile LPR solutions SenSen Solution: SenFORCE • SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 7 SENSOR AI & LIVE FUSION PLATFORM SENDISA Live Table Games Operations Management in Casinos • Problem: Table games are a significant revenue generator for casinos • Live: Operational scenario is to accurately rate players in real-time, allocating reward points and improving customer loyalty. In addition, dynamic pricing can be used to maximize yield. Fusion: Casinos are a complex hive of people, activities, attributes, scenarios, events and motion. A solution has to be built around table games, game analytics, bet evaluation, governance, harm minimisation (KYC) and player recognition/rewards. • • Physical Environment: Casino table games, floor movements and staff requirements. • Exponential Complexity: Variety of table games, game rules, business operational rules, dealers, players, table configurations and lighting • Market Opportunity: 50000+ Tables spread across 9000+ Casinos • Competition: Current solutions are manual, not real-time, and are often not accurate; The alternative solutions include RFID, combination and several other camera-based solutions SenSen Solution: SenGAME • Smart Surveillance preventing Fuel Theft • Problem: Fuel theft is rampant, especially with the cost-of-living pressures on the rise, and petrol stations want to prevent crimes before they happen to reduce retail losses, increase profitability and deal with the complexity of crime reporting Live: Operational scenario is to Intercept fuel theft and other crimes in real-time Fusion: Vehicle license plate, location and time, history of crime, link to vehicles-of-interest databases • • • Physical Environment: Fuel stations, mini-marts and retail stores • Exponential Complexity: Tracking vehicles between fuel stations, matching with multiple databases including police, alerting in real-time, crime reporting • Market Opportunity: 6000+ Fuel Stations in Australia Alone, Thousands more globally • Competition: Competitor solutions are manual, not real-time, and often fuel retailers are too busy so they resort to a do-nothing approach which no longer works as the market value of theft rises SenSen Solution: Scancam • Smart Surveillance Tracking People Over a Network of Cameras • Problem: Track persons of interest over large-scale camera networks in real time or forensically • Live: Operational scenario is to direct operators where a person of interest has been and the direction, he/she is heading so they can do their jobs most effectively and intercept crime in real-time Fusion: Person of Interest, location and time, camera relationships, Video Management Systems • • Physical Environment: Airports, universities, hospitals, schools, other large-scale facilities • Exponential Complexity: Tracking people over many networked cameras • Market Opportunity: Large Scale Surveillance Deployments Worldwide • Competition: Competitor solutions are manual, not real-time • SenSen Solution: SenTRACK SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 8 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Financial Year 2022 is a record-breaking year as a result of acquisition, organic growth and a focus on emerging technologies. This continued and sustained growth saw the company deliver on our strategy to expand our business verticals – Smart Cities, Retail, Casinos and Surveillance – and provide the operational support to grow. Our major achievements include record cash receipts from customers since listing, the acquisition of the fuel theft retail monitoring business Scancam Industries, and expansion into the US through opening of our Las Vegas headquarters. We also presented an updated ARR guidance to the market which we look forward to achieving as we expand our footprint across the globe. A summary of our outstanding foundational results that will lead to exponential growth in the coming years: • Record revenues and customer cash receipts since inception • • $9.1M revenue for the financial year 2022 $8.9m cash receipts for the financial year 2022 • A strong cash position, posting $6.2M in cash and cash equivalents with unused finance facilities available of $1.8M. The cash position at 30 June 2022 includes monies subsequently reconciled after year end that were consolidated by the Company. • All verticals grew substantially over the last 12 months • • Smart Cities grew from $4.8M to $5.9M Casinos grew from $0.7M to $0.8M • Retail Surveillance grew following the acquisition of Scancam in July 2021 to $2.4M for FY22 • Established strong YoY ARR (unaudited) growth profile • • • Forward-looking ARR of $6.7M representing 100% YoY ARR growth for FY22 Forward NRR or Net Retention of 103%+ in FY22 Zero Churn of significant customers • MRR has grown over the last 12 months from $400K per month to $500K per month and this trend of strong MRR growth is expected to continue. • November and December 2021 – Capital raise: SenSen successfully raised $10.0M to fund our international revenue growth acceleration strategy. The Company undertook a significant review of research and development activities carried out during FY22. It was determined not to capitalise development costs due to: • Minimal benefit to the profit and loss and balance sheet • Internal systems and support necessary to meet the ‘reliable measure’ requirement under AASB 138 • Onerous cost of compliance (cost versus benefit). SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 9 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Smart Cities APAC 2022 has been an exciting year for SenSen and our Smart City customers. We have increased our net number of customers by 50% in the APAC region, adding one federal, two state, several private car parks, and several council customers, all of which attract annual recurring revenue. Some of our new smart city customers include: • Care Park Pty Ltd, Adelaide • City of Adelaide, South Australia • National Heavy Vehicle Regulator • Queensland Revenue Office • • Toowoomba Regional Council, through our partner Duncan Solutions • Victorian Department of Transport • City of Cockburn, Western Australia Sunshine Coast Regional Council These new customers, particularly those in South Australia, represent our first Smart City customers in that region, setting us up for cluster behavior where new councils adopt the same advanced technologies as other key customers in the region, a trend we have seen in Queensland over the last couple of years. To sustain our existing customers and to unlock new revenue streams while onboarding new customers, we recruited an experienced parking, council, and customer service professional (Kristen Prosser) into the role of Customer Success Manager. This led to several existing customers extending their commitments and increasing the range of our products and services, including: • Brisbane City Council • City of Gold Coast, through our partner Duncan Solutions • Hills Shire Council • • • Transport for New South Wales Ipswich City Council Singapore Land Transport Authority Flood events affected variable revenue particularly in early 2022 as our customers relaxed compliance operations to support community recovery. During this period we were able to assist customers by advising on techniques to repurpose our digital compliance systems to support recovery efforts, such as recording footage of curbside waste that needed collecting. In late 2021 our work with key customer Brisbane City Council was recognized nationally with a joint award for the Best Technology Innovation at the Parking Industry Awards for our Environment Mapping Technology. As we move into FY23, we hope to continue building momentum in signing new customers and unlocking new revenue streams from existing customers. Smart Surveillance There are three components to the Smart Surveillance business vertical with three distinct product lines generating revenues from three geographies: Australia, Singapore and the USA. Smart surveillance revenues in Australia are driven by Scancam – a fuel theft reduction solution. In Singapore, revenue is driven by advanced video analytics software (SenVAS) for the Land Transport Authority, seaport and airport applications. Finally in the USA, revenue is driven by multi-camera, computer-aided person tracking: SenTRACK. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 10 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Scancam After the successful acquisition of Scancam Industries Pty Ltd mid-July 2021, it has been an exciting year on all fronts. Earlier in the year, the key focus was to integrate the business operations and team into SenSen. The other major initiative was to bring SenSen IP into the Scancam product to make it more cost-effective for end users to adopt and implement the technology into their stores. The key outcome of this objective was to significantly reduce the upfront costs of the Scancam system, making the product inherently more scalable and expanding the addressable market and accelerating growth. Post-acquisition and successful integration, we have managed to deliver an incredible solution to our customers: • Over 40,000 fuel theft incidents detected • 100% increase in the debt recovered to a staggering $2.14 million • Detected over 200,000 known offenders in our locations • Provided $12.1M in preventative alerts to customers on the network With global fuel prices reaching record highs and soaring inflation, the economic landscape has fuelled an increased need for loss prevention and instore optimisation technologies. SenSen is ideally positioned to capitalise on this given the current and foreseeable macro-economic conditions. The second half of this financial year was particularly strong with several ground-breaking wins, notably signing of corporate fuel retailer Euro Garages, a UK company that purchased Woolworths Fuel in 2019 and Vibe Petroleum in WA, and the addition of two new full-time sales business development managers covering both the west and east coast of Australia. H2 of this year saw the team double project revenue compared to the first half, indicative of the increased adoption rate on the SenDISA platform model. In FY22, • We increased our site location numbers by 31% • Our SAS revenue run rate has increased by 45% • Completed a successful POC with Northern Territory Police • Agreed pilot of new technology with AMPOL Australia (existing customer) All of this is a testament to the benefits delivered to the business through the strategic acquisition and successful integration of IP, team and Scancam technologies. A unique selling point of the Scancam anti fuel theft platform is the debt recovery solution: Fuel Recovery Services Australia. Post-acquisition, we have added depth to our team and seen revenues from this operation double during the past 12 months. With the number of sites increasing, the system is improving core performance metrics for the benefit of customers. With a rapidly filling pipeline, we expect good growth to continue and follow recent trends. Our team is focused on execution and operational strategy for the coming year to deliver another period of strong sales performance. SenVAS SenSen has been active in Singapore in the Smart Surveillance space for several years with Changi Airport as a key client. Furthermore we have added PSA Singapore (formerly Port of Singapore Authority) and Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs as clients via in-country partner PCS. In addition, we have been providing solutions to Land Transport Authority (LTA) that is reported as part of our Smart City solutions. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 11 FINANCIAL SUMMARY It is pleasing to note that our solutions are now used by key government organisations linked by Land, Air and Sea. We have expanded our partnerships with integration companies STE and PCS, and we have been working closely with distributor D-RON to extend our reach and scope of products. Via D-RON we have initiated significant marketing initiatives in the region using Singapore as the base. USA – SenTRACK Many hospitals, schools, universities and airports are using the SenTRACK product line in the USA. The trajectory of sales was negatively impacted due to COVID-19 related lockdowns between 2019-21 but momentum has increased strongly since the beginning of 2022. We have delivered presentations at multiple security conferences in the USA to re-introduce SenTRACK to key market segments and a strong pipeline of opportunities has been created. We have some iconic clients in the USA including Snap Chat Inc and Las Vegas Airport in addition to several school districts and hospitals. A system for Las Vegas Airport, won in 2018 but progressively delayed by COVID- 19 lockdowns, is expected to be rolled out in FY 2023. Riding on the success of satisfied customers in the USA, we have been working with distributors and key system integrators in all our geographies to develop SenTRACK sales momentum globally. We expect to see more revenue from SenTRACK in Singapore and Australia in FY23 and beyond. Casino Gaming Solutions COVID significantly hit the gaming business with shutdowns, mask mandates, reduced opening hours and reduced number of visitors/players allowed in most venues. Impacts on equipment pricing (COGS) and unavailability of equipment with shortages of key items such as computer chips slowed the business for all players within the industry. Despite these headwinds impacting the global leisure and hospitality sector, especially Casinos, we have been able to forge ahead with the following significant achievements within the casino gaming business vertical: • Acquired our first leading UK casino customer - Hippodrome • Expanded the contract with Solaire Casino in the Philippines to grow the number of active tables from 30 to 200 tables • Established a new contract with Crown Casino to roll out our latest innovations in their Melbourne • • • • and Sydney Casinos focused on responsible gaming Introduced a highly cost-effective distributed computing-based AI solution to help more casinos gain access to our technology; a new patent application was submitted to protect the invention Introduced new product enhancements like SenEYE-D to significantly increase the appeal of our product line to a wider array of customers Invested in developing data analytics products with customised dashboards and reports to value add to SenGAME and provide real-time, novel insights from the data generated by SenGAME. Further investments into product developments are under way to support roulette, card reading, cash and chip exchanges, tips, alerts for payouts and cashless payments As a part of a holistic approach to marketing and sales enablement, we attended the following Casino gaming shows this year leading to many leads, ICE UK gaming show, Table games protection summit, Las Vegas, NIGA Our sales pipeline is strong and multiple POCs have been completed with prospective clients and more are in the pipeline.

Material Business Risks SenSen Networks Limited is subject to risks, a number of which may have a material adverse effect on operating and financial performance. SenSen’s Risk Management Policy can be found within the Audit and Risk Committee Charter on its website. It is not possible to identify every risk that could affect the business or shareholders and the actions taken to mitigate these risks cannot provide absolute assurance that a risk will not materialise or have a material adverse effect on business strategies, assets or future performance of SenSen. A non-exhaustive list (in no particular order) of material risks and relevant mitigation strategies implemented by the Company are set out below. Risk Cost of materials Description and potential impact SenSen is not immune to rising cost of materials and equipment, in particular semi-conductors and computer chips which are important inputs into its product offering. Regulatory Funding People Product innovation and competitive advantage The Company operates within a constantly changing regulatory environment and is required to respond to any changes to privacy regulations or regulations around the use of artificial intelligence. The Company is striving to become cash flow positive in the near term, however the ability to raise funds to continue operating on a going concern basis remains a risk. The Company may lose key executives. The Company operates in a competitive environment in relation to attracting software development and technical personnel. The loss of key staff or the inability to attract personnel may adversely affect the Company’s operations. Competitors may bring comparable products or technology to the market which may challenge SenSen’s perceived advantage. Products and technologies developed by competitors may render the Company’s product and platform obsolete or non-competitive. Strategies used to mitigate the risk The Company’s is managing this risk by moving from a just-in-time delivery model to holding some inventory at known prices. Further the company is embedding clauses in sales contracts that allow any significant change in the cost of equipment to be passed on to the customer. The company monitors changes in the regulatory environment and has the ability to make changes to its software as is necessary to remain compliant. The Company actively manages its capital requirements and maintains close relationships with its existing investor base. The company maintains adequate cash and debt facilities to ensure it is able to pay its debts as they fall due. Identification of key people and the implementation of appropriate staff training as well as succession plans. The Company offers incentives and career development opportunities for key executives and senior management. The Company continuously monitors market developments and new products. SenSen continues to invest in its platform development to improve its intellectual property and services and regularly registers new patents for developments it makes in its software. Environmental regulations The Group is subject to environmental regulations in Australia and in foreign countries where it operates. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, all activities have been undertaken in compliance with these environmental regulations.

(a) Details of Directors and Key Management Personnel during the year ended 30 June 2022 Mr Subhash Challa, Executive Chairman Mr Zenon Pasieczny, Non-Executive Director Mr David Smith, Executive Director Mrs Heather Scheibenstock, Executive Director Mr Jonathan Cook, Chief Financial Officer The above Key Management Personnel (KMP) are the KMP of the Company, there are no other KMP in the Group. (b) Remuneration governance The Company does not have a remuneration committee, with remuneration decisions made by the Board on: • The over-arching executive remuneration framework • Operation of the incentive plans which apply to the executive team including key performance indicators and performance hurdles • Remuneration levels of executive directors and the key management personnel, and • Non-executive director fees The objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. (c) Executive remuneration policy and framework Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced directors and executives. The remuneration structures outlined below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creating shareholder value. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following criteria for good reward corporate governance practices: competitiveness and reasonableness; • • acceptability to shareholders; • performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation; • • transparency; and capital management. The executive remuneration framework has two components • base pay and benefits, including superannuation; and • long-term incentives (LTIs) through participation in the SenSen Long Term Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). The payment of LTIs is conditional on the achievement of set performance criteria as outlined in detail later in the Remuneration Report. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 21 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) on 15 July 2021. 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 $400,000 and was approved by shareholders at the 2017 annual general meeting held on 30 November 2017. (g) Voting and comments made at the company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting SenSen Networks Limited received more than 99.53% of ‘yes’ votes on its remuneration report for the 2021 financial year. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration policies. (h) Group’s performance and link to remuneration In considering the consequences of the Company’s performance on shareholder wealth the Board is focused on total shareholder returns. The Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan is heavily performance based and the vesting of Key Management Personnel and staff options is dependent on the company meeting specific revenue targets. The factors that are considered to affect shareholder return in the past 5 years are summarised below: Measures Share price at end of financial year Market capitalisation at end of financial year ($M) 2022 $ 2021 $ 2020 $ 2019 $ 0.073 $47.5 0.150 $74.5 0.070 $31.3 0.087 $36.4 2018 $ 0.160 $65.8 Net Profit/(loss) for the financial year (12,075,161) (3,021,747) (3,705,235) (5,277,798) (9,220,416) Director and Key Management Personnel remuneration 2,562,297 1,167,619 1,182,298 1,544,576 2,048,914 SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 22 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report (Audited) (cont’d) (i) Details of Remuneration 2022 Short-term Employee Benefits Post- Employment Benefit Long- term Share-based payments Total Performanc e related % Name Salary and Fees Bonus Super Long Service Leave Share Rights Optio ns $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Directors S Challa D Smith Z Pasieczny H Scheibenstock Other key management personnel J Cook (CFO) 353,030 293,750 56,000 218,333 220,000 1,141,113 - - - - - - 35,303 27,083 5,560 21,833 29,137 - - - 485,111 394,785 - 238,727 22,000 - 161,645 111,779 29,137 1,280,268 - - - - - - 902,581 715,618 61,560 478,893 53.7% 55.2% - 49.8% 403,645 2,562,297 40.05% 50.0% 2021 Short-term Employee Benefits Post- Employment Benefit Long- term Share-based payments Total Performanc e related % Name Salary and Fees Bonus Super Long Service Leave Share Rights Options $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Directors S Challa D Smith Z Pasieczny H Scheibenstock Other key management personnel J Cook (CFO) 315,000 262,500 50,400 173,973 219,333 1,021,206 - - - - - - 29,925 24,937 4,788 16,527 6,967 83,144 13,269 - - - - 13,269 - - - - - - - - 358,194 287,437 55,188 190,500 - - - - 50,000 50,000 - 276,300 - 1,167,619 18.1% 4.3% SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 23 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Remuneration Report (Audited) (cont’d) (j) Details of share-based payments The share rights in the above table were issued as part of compensation to key management personnel during the year ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. No options over ordinary shares were issued as part of compensation to key management personnel during the years ended 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2022. Share Rights A new LTI scheme was approved by the Board of SenSen on 10 May 2021 and grants rights to shares to key employees of the Company over a three-year period, if certain targets are achieved. Shareholders voted at a general meeting of the Company on 15 July 2021 to approve 25,000,000 shares to be issued over three years for this scheme. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated as follows: • An agreed percentage of eligible employee’s annual salary; • Number of shares to be issued based on the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) prior to the Company’s Financial Year results announcement. • A combination of an eligible employee’s length of service and the Company meeting internal measure targets in the most recent Financial Year. Internal measure targets include: o Continual service period; o Revenue hurdles; and o EBITDA hurdles. These hurdles are considered non-market vesting conditions and the probability of being met is taken into account when determining the expense to be recognised in each period. The rights to shares were granted after 15 July 2021 (therefore with no impact in the 30 June 2021 financial year), and vest annually if the following three targets are achieved by SenSen executives: Grants Financial Year 2020/2021 2021/2022 2022/2023 Grant dates 1 29/07/21 – 25/08/21 29/07/21 – 25/08/21 29/07/21 – 25/08/21 Target measures Service Revenue Target 50% 50% 50% 40% 40% 40% EBITDA 10% 10% 10% 1 For the different relative executives The actual number of shares to be issued to each employee is based on the above fixed percentages of their salary at grant date. A summary of the value expensed, and the number of shares issued is detailed below. Share rights to these three grants vest annually once the Company issues its Annual Report on or around 30 September. This report will provide revenue and EBITDA results that will be used to determine whether individual tranches vest. The following tables outline the individual annual hurdles/targets required in order for annual share rights to be awarded and vest: Annual Hurdles/Targets Service Target Service Percentage of Rights Vesting Less than 12 months Threshold: 1 year – 3 years Target: 3 years + Nil 75% 100% The service target is assessed each year at 30 June.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report includes the financial statements and notes of SenSen Networks Limited, a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The separate financial statements of the parent entity, SenSen Networks Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2022 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 2022 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 31. 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. Changes to presentation – classification of expenses SenSen Networks Limited decided in the current financial period to change the classification of its expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as it is believed this will provide more relevant information to our stakeholders, and is more in line with common practice in the industry SenSen Networks Limited is operating in. The comparative information has been reclassified accordingly. 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 2022 of $7,887,262 (30 June 2021: $3,408,976) and as at 30 June 2022 has a net asset position of $12,317,121 (30 June 2021: $6,305,452 ). The Group also generated a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $12,075,161 (30 June 2021: $3,021,747 ). The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the following conditions: • • • The ability to meet its internal cash flow forecasts, in particular the Group’s revenue growth targets and reductions in operating cost expectations; The ability of the Group to draw down on its unused loan facilities; 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: • • • • the Group has prepared a cash flow forecast based on reasonable assumptions that the directors believe are achievable; The directors believe that the Group has the ability to scale back expenditure as and when required to preserve cash if needed; The directors do not expect any further significant impact on the Group from COVID-19; and The Group has demonstrated the ability to raise capital when required. 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 37 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (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 three 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. • Gaming: delivering accurate actionable insights to casinos about table occupancy, hands per hour, bet type and value for every bet placed on the gaming floor. • Retail: Provide anti-theft and debt recovery services to fuel retailers. 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 38 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 Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2022. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, being the most relevant to the Consolidated Entity, are set out below. AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current These changes are applicable from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. There are four main changes to classification requirements. (1) The requirement for an unconditional right has been deleted because covenants in banking agreements would rarely result in unconditional rights. (2) The right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period. If the right to defer settlement is dependent upon the entity complying with specified conditions (covenants), the right to defer only exists at reporting date if the entity complies with those conditions at reporting date. (3) Classification is based on the right to defer settlement, and not the intention. (4) If a liability could be settled by an entity transferring its own equity instruments prior to maturity (e.g. a convertible bond), classification is determined without considering the possibility of earlier settlement by conversion to equity, but only if the conversion feature is classified as equity. As these amendments only apply for the first time to the 30 June 2024 balances (and 30 June 2023 comparative balances), the Consolidated Entity is not yet able to make an assessment of the impacts regarding the right to defer settlement, compliance with bank covenants, and intention to settle. AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates These amendments introduce a definition of ‘accounting estimate’, i.e. monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to estimation uncertainty, such as estimating expected credit losses for receivables. Accounting estimates are developed using measurement techniques and inputs. The amendments clarify that a change in an estimate occurs when there is either a change in a measurement technique or a change in an input. The amendments also indicate that only material accounting policy information must be disclosed in the financial statements. There will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments are first adopted because they apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period to which these amendments apply, which is annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2022 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 39 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (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. (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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 40 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (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 (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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 41 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (l) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(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. 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. Acquired Intangible Assets Acquired intangible assets, including brand names, technology and customer contracts are recorded at fair value at date of acquisition. These assets have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at fair value less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The useful lives applied to these assets are as follows: Brand names – 5 years Technology – 5 years Customer contracts – 6 years SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 42 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Sofware developed or acquire for sales and licensing Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new areas of products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs and acquired software are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which varies from three to five 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. These 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 43 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 30. 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. (r) 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 44 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (s) 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. 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) 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. (v) 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. (w) 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. (x) 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. (y) Segment reporting Refer to note 2 for the accounting policy and disclosures relating to the Group’s operating segments. (z) 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. 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (aa) 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 30) 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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; - Retail; - Product and Operations; and - Corporate (not considered a separate segment). Following the acquisition of Scancam in July 2021, the company added the retail segment to its areas of operation. The Scancam business was acquired as a stand-alone business and as such the costs associated with this business are easily identifiable at present. This business accesses the retail fuel sales market which is not a market where SenSen previously participated. As SenSen has grown, a product and operations resource pool has been developed which provides software development, support and expertise for all of the company's products and its customers. Reported as the Product and Operations segment, this pool is responsible for developing SenSen's technology and product offering, as well as providing annotation to support artificial intelligence learning and customer support services. These costs can not be meaningfully allocated to a particular customer facing segment and as a result are categorised separately. Further to the inclusion of the Retail and Product and Operations segments, the company has decided to show a Corporate segment for costs which are not easily split across the market segments in which it operates. These costs include general management, facilities and other corporate services consistent with running an ASX listed company operating internationally.

For the 2022 reporting period, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (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 and projections approved by management covering a five-year period. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 58 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 15. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) Significant assumptions used for the purposes of assessing each CGU for impairment include: Average revenue growth rate FY23-FY27 Fixed cost growth rate Post-tax discount rate Terminal value growth SenTrack Scancam 23.00% 5.00% 17.00% 2.50% 17.00% 5.00% 17.00% 2.50% Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated long term growth rate attached to consumer price indexation (CPI), estimated at 2.5% as at 30 June 2022. 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 post-tax discount rate, reflecting specific risks relating to the relevant CGU’s and the countries in which the cash-generating unit operates. As at 30 June 2022, the Group has applied a post-tax discount rate of 17.00%. Revenue forecasts are based on historical amounts, adjusted for known and anticipated factors such as new contracts won and those reasonably assured of converting. Costs based on the CGU’s incurrence of these items, factoring in forecast increases and estimated inflation rates over the forecast period. Capital expenditure is estimated based on current costs adjusted for anticipated future expectations. Based on the above assumptions, the recoverable amount of the SenTrack CGU exceeds the carrying amount by $39,530. Based on the above assumptions, the recoverable amount of the Scancam CGU exceeds the carrying amount by $184,978. As disclosed in note 1 (aa), the Directors have made judgements and estimates in respect to impairment testing. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting CGU carrying amount may decrease. Impact of possible changes in key assumptions Based on the assumptions above the value-in-use calculations for both the SenTrack and Scancam CGU’s show headroom in excess of the carrying value of the CGU. The table below summarises movements in the key assumptions and the impact on the impairment assessment:: Movement in assumption SenTrack – Impairment impact Scancam – Impairment impact Average revenue growth rate FY23-FY27 Fixed cost growth rate Post-tax discount rate Terminal value growth Decrease by 5% Decrease by 1% Increase by 1% Decrease by 0.5% $560,785 $nil $303,625 $nil $391,509 $nil $62,698 $nil SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 59 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 16.

Recognised fair value measurements AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level in the fair value measurement hierarchy as follows: • • • Level 1: the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: a valuation technique is used using inputs other than quoted prices within level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3: a valuation technique is used using inputs that are not observable based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The following financial instruments are subject to recurring fair value measurements: Contingent consideration – level 3 Consolidated 30 Jun 2022 30 Jun 2021 Note $ 1,362,565 1,362,565 $ - - Contingent consideration has been recognised on the acquisition of Scancam Industries Pty Ltd as disclosed in note 15. The fair value of the contingent consideration of $1,362,565 has been estimated by calculating the present value of the future expected cash outflows discounted. If Scancam Industries Pty Ltd exceeds it forecasted annual recurring revenue targets, this would result in a material change to the contingent consideration, up to a value of $4,163,380.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS The following share rights were issued as part of compensation to key management personnel during the year ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. No options over ordinary shares were issued as part of compensation to employees during the year ended 30 June 2022 or 30 June 2021. Share Rights A new LTI scheme was approved by the Board of SenSen on 10 May 2021 and grants rights to shares to key employees of the Company over a three-year period, if certain targets are achieved. Shareholders voted at a general meeting of the Company on 15 July 2021 to approve 25,000,000 shares to be issued over three years for this scheme. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated as follows: • An agreed percentage of eligible employee’s annual salary; • Number of shares to be issued based on the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) prior to the Company’s Financial Year results announcement. • A combination of an eligible employee’s length of service and the Company meeting internal measure targets in the most recent Financial Year. Internal measure targets include: o Continual service period; o Revenue hurdles; and o EBITDA hurdles. These hurdles are considered non-market vesting conditions and the probability of being met is taken into account when determining the expense to be recognised in each period. The rights to shares were granted after 15 July 2021 (therefore with no impact in the 30 June 2021 financial year), and vest annually if the following three targets are achieved by SenSen employees: Grants Financial Year 2020/2021 2021/2022 2022/2023 Grant dates 1 Various Various Various Target measures Service Revenue Target 50% 50% 50% 40% 40% 40% EBITDA 10% 10% 10% 1 For the different relevant employees The actual number of shares to be issued to each employee is based on the above fixed percentages of their salary at grant date. A summary of the value expensed, and the number of shares issued is detailed below. Share rights to these three grants vest annually once the Company issues its Annual Report on or around 30 September. This report will provide revenue and EBITDA results that will be used to determine whether individual tranches vest.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Contract assets Financial liabilities Trade payables Short term loans Consolidated 2022 $ 2021 $ 6,213,860 1,943,338 561,671 8,718,869 5,176,463 978,742 348,170 6,503,375 1,238,557 1,954,375 750,357 861,280 3,192,932 1,611,637 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 Indian Rupee, the operating currency for the US subsidiary is US Dollars, the operating currency for the Singapore subsidiary is Singapore Dollars, and the operating currency for the Canadian subsidiary is Canadian Dollars. (b) Interest Risk 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 4.57% on the business loan. The company maintains a working capital facility with Rockinghorse Group of $1,504,375 which in repaid annually upon receipt of the company’s R&D grant. This loan incurs interest at a rate of 15.0% p.a. Group sensitivity At 30 June 2022 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 $9,771. (2021: $4,306) 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. SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 73 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (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 2022 and Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. 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 2022, 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.

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 2022 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.

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 2022, 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.

As disclosed in Note 25, as part of these business combination transactions, the Group recognised the following additional intangible assets: • • • Brand name Technology Customer contracts and relationships • Goodwill Business combinations is a key audit matter due to the significant audit effort to test the group’s acquisitions during the year and the level of judgement applied in evaluating management’s assessment of goodwill allocated in the purchase. Our procedures included, amongst others: • • • • • • • Obtaining an understanding of the transaction including an assessment of the accounting acquirer and whether the transaction constituted a business or asset acquisitions Reviewing purchase documentation including contracts and business sale agreements and obtaining a detailed understanding of the acquired business Assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodology of the assets acquired Reviewing management’s assessment of the fair value of the consideration paid and the recognition of contingent consideration upon the acquisition date Evaluating management’s assessment of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired including reviewing independent intangible asset valuation for the acquisition obtained by management Engaging with internal experts on the appropriateness of the calculation of identifiable intangible assets Assessing the adequacy of the Group's disclosures of the acquisitions.

SenSen Annual Report FY2022 sensen.ai 79 Impairment assessment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and determination of Cash Generating Units (“CGU’s”) Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group’s disclosures in respect to intangible assets, including the impairment assessments of goodwill and other intangible assets are included in Note 15. The carrying value of intangible assets represent a significant asset of the Group. The Group is required to annually test the amount of goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for impairment and assess other intangible assets for impairment indicators. This annual impairment test was significant to our audit because the goodwill and intangible assets balance is material to the financial statements and because management’s assessment process, including the determination of CGU’s, is complex, highly judgmental and includes estimates and assumptions relating to expected future market or economic conditions. Our procedures included, amongst others: • • • • • • Evaluating management’s determination of the Group’s Cash Generating Units ("CGU's") to ensure they are appropriate, including being at a level no higher than the operating segments of the entity Evaluating management’s process regarding the valuation of the Group’s goodwill and other intangible assets Assessing the Group’s assumptions and estimates relating to forecast revenue, costs, capital expenditure and discount rates used to determine the recoverable amount of its assets Assessing the historical accuracy of forecasting of the Group by comparing the current year actual results with FY22 figures included in prior year forecasts to consider whether any forecasts included assumptions, that with hindsight, had been optimistic Involving our internal specialists to assess the discount rates and terminal growth rates against comparable market information Challenging key assumptions by performing sensitivity analysis on the growth rates and discount rate assumptions used.

The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
