CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Sensera Strategy 

Since listing on the ASX in late December 2016, Sensera has been positioning itself to become a dominant 
player in the rapidly growing global market of IOT by becoming one of only a few end-to-end total solution 
providers in the wireless network sensors market which is forecasted to grow from US$36 billion last year 
to US$93 billion by 2021.  Sensera’s strategy of being a high-performance sensor development partner, as 
well as commercialising its own intellectual property with a focus on high value healthcare, industrial and 
defence markets, has positioned the Company for entry into the rapidly developing IoT market by not only 
expanding our microfabrication capabilities but also completing the strategic acquisition of Nanotron 
Technologies GmbH (Nanotron) subsequent to the end of the financial year.  

As a bespoke development partner, we have secured eight customers for our microfabrication services 
including two significant Nasdaq-listed entities.  Sensera has been completing design, development and 
prototyping services (non-recurring engineering) and is anticipated to transition these two major 
microfabrication clients to recurring manufacturing contracts towards the end of 2017.  Sensera is also 
progressing its initial intellectual property development project, ‘Towakon’ – a water conservation device in 
development that measures microflows of water and integrates the findings into an artificial intelligence 
product.  

Nanotron Acquisition 

Following the year end, Sensera acquired a leading provider of location awareness systems, Nanotron, for a 
total consideration of €6.4 million (A$9.6m).  This acquisition positions Sensera to become a leading end-
to-end Wireless Sensor Network company in the rapidly growing IoT space, with an existing presence in an 
addressable US$8 billion market and Tier 1 channel partners.  Sensera will emerge as a leading provider of 
location and wellness tracking and collision avoidance with existing market share via partnership in two key 
markets of Livestock Monitoring and Mine Safety and Productivity. 

Complementary core competencies position Sensera as a vertically integrated designer and integrator of 
its own proprietary sensor systems; including chips, multifunctional sensor systems that positions Sensera 
to subsequently move up the IoT value chain and develop proprietary data analytics that enable the “smart” 
functionality of its Wireless Sensors. 

Nanotron is a revenue phase business based in Berlin, Germany.  Its platform delivers a complete 
integrated sensors system consisting of chips, modules and software that enable precise real-time 
positioning and concurrent wireless communication.  Nanotron has established core markets, servicing 
large blue-chip end-users in the mining and agricultural sectors with Tier 1 customers representing a 
direct market opportunity for the its products of A$850 million out of an addressable global market of US$8 
billion.  An early outcome of this strategy, supporting direct monetisation of Sensera’s technology, has 
come through Smartbow (www.smartbow.com), an Austrian agricultural technology company. Smartbow 
has incorporated Nanotron’s location awareness system in its Eartag LIFE product which empowers dairy 
farmers to improve their milk yield through smart real-time herd management.   

Smartbow has partnered with Zoetis, the global leader in animal health products and services, to address a 
market estimated at 8% of the world’s 1.25 billion cattle, representing US$572m in system sales. Sensera’s 
proprietary integrated microsensors and software products enable precise real-time positioning and 
concurrent wireless data communication. The Company’s initial focus is on addressing the immediate 
opportunity to deepen its penetration of the large and growing animal health and mining service markets.  
The Company has identified significant future opportunities beyond these two initial markets. To meet 
anticipated growth in demand, Nanotron has successfully deployed its location awareness technology on a 
pilot basis in the transport, healthcare and safety industries.  

Results 

Sensera generated a total revenue of US$1,219,788 from its operations in the United States, primarily 
contributed by the revenue from the provision of Non-Recurring Engineering service contracts.  The 
Company reports a loss of US$5,331,794.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Personnel Additions 

Throughout the course of 2017 the Company has appointed seasoned leadership, which it will continue to 
expand to guide the integration of Nanotron and Sensera. Attracting this talent will enhance the Company’s 
capabilities as it secures its position in the IoT value chain through a unique combination of software and 
proprietary hardware to deliver unique data driven insights to customers.  The CEO search is nearing 
completion and following an extensive search the board has identified a number of highly qualified and 
credentialed candidates.  It remains our intention to finalise an appointment before the end of the year.  
Sensera has also added to the engineering and production team during the period in advance of its 
transition to manufacturing phase for its cornerstone clients.  It has also appointed a business 
development executive to increase the number of companies utilising the facilities at the microfabrication 
operations. 

Outlook 

Sensera is advancing its strategy of building a global IoT organisation with sensor and wireless networking 
capability as the platform on which to add data capture, analysis and reporting for attractive market 
segments that will use data analysis and Artificial Intelligence to enhance performance. 

Board, Governance and Management 

The Board is committed to ensuring that our business is conducted in accordance with high standards of 
corporate governance. Sensera has expanded its leadership team and operations, and is well progressed in 
sourcing a CEO in order to execute on its strategic growth plan. 

On behalf of the Board, let me close by thanking you our shareholders for your support in our first year as a 
listed entity, and to the growing Sensera international team for their determined and unrelenting effort 
during the past year. 

Sensera is tackling the challenge of building a world-class wireless networking sensor company head-on, 
and I am excited by the breadth of opportunities we have before us. As Chairman, I look forward to leading 
Sensera and growing this exciting, high potential business.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

1 

Segment information 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. 

The group has reviewed its operations and believe only one reportable segment under AASB 8 Operating Segments exists. 

During the period from 6 July 2016 to 30 June 2017, US$1,051,492 of the Group's revenue depended on two key 
customers. All revenues and non-current assets of the Group are located in the United States of America. 

2 

Revenue 

The Group derives the following types of revenue: 

Sale of goods 

Services 

From 6 July 2016  
to 30 June 2017 

US$ 

312,846 

906,942 

1,219,788 

(a) 

Recognising revenue from major business activities 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net 
of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. 

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic 
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. 
The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction 
and the specifics of each arrangement. 

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities using the methods outlined below. 

(i) 

Sale of goods 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods. 

(ii) 

Provision of services 

Revenue relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at 
reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with 
reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the 
outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable. 

When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as 
an expense immediately through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

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

(b) 

Critical judgements in calculating amounts 

Revenue relating to the provision of services is recognised based on management’s best estimation of the forecast of final 
cost required to complete the service and the forecast of final margin to be recognised. Management reviews these 
forecasts on a regular basis and adjusts revenue recognised when there are material changes.

(i) 

Classification as trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of 
business. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are 
presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement in accordance with the milestones 
specified in the Non-Recurring Engineering contracts with customers, which are typically less than one year and 
therefore are all classified as current. The Group’s impairment and other accounting policies for trade and other 
receivables are outlined in notes 10(b) and 22(h) respectively. 

(ii) 

Fair value of trade and other receivables 

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as their fair 
value. 

(iii) 

Accrued income 

Accrued income represents the expected recoverable amount of revenue from NRE services rendered by the Group. Refer 
to note 2(a)(ii) for further details. 

(iv) 

Impairment and risk exposure 

Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality and the group’s exposure to credit 
risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found in note 10(a) and 10(b).

policies on cash and cash equivalents. 

(iii)

Critical estimates, judgements and errors 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will 
seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group’s 
accounting policies. 

(a) 

Significant estimates and judgements 

The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are: 

•  Estimation of revenue relating the the provision of services - see note 2(b) for further details. 

•  Valuation  of  share-based  payment  expense  -  the  value  attributed  to  share  options  issued  is  an  estimate 
calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on an option pricing model. The choice of models 
and  the  resultant  option  value  require  assumptions  to  be  made  in  relation  to  the  likelihood  and  timing  of  the 
conversion of the options to shares and the value of volatility of the price of the underlying shares. Refer to note 
18 for more details. 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other 
factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Risk management 

Cash and cash equivalents are held at reputable banks and financial institutions in Australia and the United States of 
America. 

The Group's customer base consists of public sectors, listed companies in the U.S and large and reputable private 
entities. Management maintain a close relationship with its customer executives and senior management to ensure that 
milestones specified in the contracts are met on a timely manner. Management updates its cost forecast on a regular 
basis for all on-going contracts. In the event of total forecasted costs exceeding total forecasted revenue, a provision for 
onerous contract is provided and charged to the Group's profit or loss for the period. For the period from 6 July 2016 to 30 
June 2017, the Group has provided for US$26,500 in relation to one onerous contract.

Capital management 

(a) 

Risk management 

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to: 

• 

safeguard  their  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  they  can  continue  to  provide  returns  for 
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and 

•  maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while 
avoiding excessive leverage. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes 
in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital 
structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new 
shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. 

As at 30 June 2017, the Group had no external debt outstanding. 

(b) 

Dividends 

There have been no dividends declared or paid during the period from 6 July 2016 to 30 June 2017. The Group’s franking 
account balance remained as US$nil at 30 June 2017.

Business combination 

On 19 August 2016, the Parent Company, Sensera Limited, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the 
controlled entities as detailed in 13(a) (“the combining entities”). Due to the existence of common control, the combination 
is not within the definition of a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business 
Combinations. 

The Directors have accounted for the combination using the “pooling method” as detailed below: 

•  The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts; 

•  No  adjustments  have  been  made  to  reflect  fair  values,  or  recognise  any  new  assets  or  liabilities,  that  would 
otherwise  have  been  done  under  the  purchase  method.  The  only  adjustments  that  have  been  made  were  to 
harmonise accounting policies; 

•  No new goodwill has been recognised as a result of the combination; 

•  The income statement reflects the results of the combining entities for the period from 6 July 2016 to 30 June 

2017 (the “reporting period”); and 

•  Comparative  information  has  not  been  presented  as  there  was  no  consolidated  Group  in  existence  during  the 

prior year. 

The common control business combination was transacted by Sensera Limited acquiring all of the shares in Sensera Inc., 
by the issuance of 14,875,000 ordinary shares in Sensera Limited. At the date of the combination, the carrying value of the 
net identifiable assets of Sensera Inc. was $482,900. 

No contingent consideration arrangement in relation to this business combination exists.

Events occurring after the reporting period 

On 23 August 2017, the Group completed its acquisition of 100% equity interest in Nanotron Technologies GmbH 
("Nanotron"), a private company based in Berlin, Germany for a total consideration of EUR6.4 million, payable in both cash

financial statements are for the Group consisting of Sensera Limited and its subsidiaries. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

This general purpose financial statements has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Sensera Limited is 
a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

The annual report covers the period from 6 July 2016 to 30 June 2017. 

(i)

Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).  

(ii)

(iii) 

Going concern 

The Group incurred a net loss of US$5,331,794, and had operating cash outflows of US$4,469,129 for the period from 6 
July 2016 to 30 June 2017. As at 30 June 2017, the Group's cash and cash equivalents balance was US$4,049,772. 

The annual report have been prepared on a going concern basis. In the process of approving the Group's internal 
forecast and business plan for the upcoming fiscal years, the Board has considered the cash position of the Group 
within the next 12 months from the date of this report. The Board acknowledges the possibility of additional funding to 
be required in order to meet the Group's working capital requirements and other capital commitments. To the date of 
this report, the Group has successfully raised US$9,869,784 from issuing shares (including the proceeds from IPO of 
AUD10 million) and AUD 4.6 million from a placement to sophisticated and professional investors. 

Based on the above considerations, the Board has assessed the resources and opportunities available to the Group, and 
consequently believe that the Group will be able to repay its debts as and when they fall due. 

(iv) 

New and amended standards adopted by the group 

The group has applied the following standards and amendments for first time in their annual reporting period 
commencing 6 July 2016: 

•  AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (including Part A: Annual Improvements 2010-
2012 and 2011-2013 Cycles and Part B: Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions - Amendments to AASB 
119) 

The Group also elected to adopt the following two standards early: 

•  AASB  2015-1  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  -  Annual  Improvements  to  Australian 

Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle, and 

•  AASB  2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 

101. 

As these amendments merely clarify the existing requirements, they do not affect the group’s accounting policies or any 
of the disclosures. 

(v) 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2017 
reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new 
standards and interpretations is set out below.

The standard permits either a full

use the leased item) and a financial 
liability to pay rentals are recognised. 
The only exceptions are short term and 
low-value leases. 

The accounting for lessors will not 
significantly change. 

Mandatory application 
date/ Date of adoption 
by group 

Must be applied for 
financial years 
commencing on or after 
1 January 2018. 

Management has considered the 
recognition and measurement 
requirements of AASB 15 in 
conjunction with the existing 
contracts between the Group and 
its customers. Based on this 
assessment, management 
concluded that there would have 
been no difference to the 
recognition and measurement of 
revenue had AASB 15 been 
adopted and applied during the 
reporting period, as compared to 
the current accounting policy on 
revenue. 

Mandatory for financial 
years commencing on 
or after 1 January 2019. 
At this stage, the Group 
does not intend to adopt 
the standard before its 
effective date. 

Management has considered the 
recognition and measurement 
requirements of AASB 16 in 
conjunction with the existing 
operating lease agreements 
between the Group and its 
suppliers. Based on this 
assessment, management 
concluded that there would have 
been a material impact to the 
financial statements had AASB 16 
been adopted and applied during 
the period, as compared to the 
current accounting policy on 
leases. As at 30 June 2017, the 
Group had an outstanding 
operating lease commitment of 
US$427,677, see note 15. 

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

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

(b) 

(i) 

Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity 
when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to 
affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the 
date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

The "pooling method" of accounting is used to account for common control business combinations by the Group. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the Group. 

The consolidated financial statements incorporates the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Sensera Limited 
('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Sensera 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity. 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated 
from the date that control ceases. 

(c) 

Segment reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. 

The board of Sensera Limited has appointed a strategic steering committee which assesses the financial performance 
and position of the Group, and makes strategic decisions. The steering committee, which has been identified as being the 
chief operating decision maker, consists of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the manager for 
corporate planning. 

(d) 

(i) 

Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements is 
presented in US dollars (US$), which is Sensera Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

(ii) 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates 
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the 
translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net 
investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated income statement, within 
finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated income statement on a net 
basis within other income or other expenses. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the 
date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are 
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities 
such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or 
loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets 
are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) 

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Group companies 

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) 
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as 
follows: 

•  assets  and  liabilities  for  each  balance  sheet  presented  are  translated  at  the  closing  rate  at  the  date  of  that 

balance sheet 

• 

income  and  expenses  for  each  consolidated  income  statement  and  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive 
income  are  translated  at  average  exchange  rates  (unless  this  is  not  a  reasonable  approximation  of  the 
cumulative  effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the  transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income  and  expenses  are 
translated at the dates of the transactions), and 

•  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

(e) 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net 
of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. 

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic 
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. 
The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction 
and the specifics of each arrangement. 

The specific accounting policies for the group’s main types of revenue are explained in note 2. 

(i) 

Interest income 

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the 
carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective 
interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired 
loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate. 

(f) 

Income tax 

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. 
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax 
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be 
paid to the tax authorities. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax 
liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not 
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination 
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined 
using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are 
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those 
temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax 
bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the 
temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

22 

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities 
are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise 
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or 
directly in equity, respectively. 

(g) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 
three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance 
sheet. 

(h) 

Trade receivables 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less provision for impairment. See note 5(a) for further information about the group’s accounting for 
trade receivables and note 10(b) for a description of the Group's impairment policies. 

(i) 

(i) 

Inventories 

Work in progress 

Work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour 
and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal 
operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of 
purchased inventory are 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. 

(j) 

Property, plant and equipment 

The Group's accounting policy for land and buildings is explained in note 6(a). All other property, plant and equipment is 
stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the items. 

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. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised 
when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they 
are incurred. 

The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in note 6(a). 

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

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

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit 
or loss. 

(k) 

Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of period from 6 July 
2016 to 30 June 2017 which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the 
reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.

(l) 

(i) 

Employee benefits 

Short-term obligations 

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

(m) 

Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. 

(n) 

Dividends 

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion 
of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. 

(o) 

(i) 

Loss per share 

Basic loss per share 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing: 

• 

the  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 period from 6 July 2016 to 30 June 

2017. 

(ii) 

Diluted loss per share 

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss per share to take into account: 

• 

• 

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. 

(p) 

Rounding of amounts 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/91 (Rounding in Financial/Director Report), 
issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the financial 
statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the 
nearest dollar. 

(q) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of 
the investment. 

(iii) 

Intercompany loans
