SPECTUR LIMITED
Chairman’s Review
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
It is my pleasure to present the 2018 Annual Report for Spectur Limited ("Spectur", ASX:SP3).
The past year has seen Spectur achieve important new milestones, as the Company continues to build on its
plans of becoming the leading supplier of remote security monitoring systems and cloud-based technology
solutions within the Australian market.
Delivering on the strategy outlined in the Prospectus has seen the expansion of Spectur’s offices in
Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria by the second half of the year, enabling the Company to provide
a presence to directly service its client base and accelerate sales from these regions.
It is pleasing to see the Company exceeding its targeted revenue to almost double that of the prior year as it
builds momentum from its IoT platform sales, rentals and recurring revenue streams. Recurring revenues have
more than doubled since the prior year, providing the Company with a continuing income stream from which it
can pursue its growth strategy.
The commercialisation of Spectur’s internally developed products has widened our product offering and allowed
the Company to provide more tailored product solutions to meet the needs of our clients.
We continue to focus on internal product development, and the recent trials of Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning tools will be integrated into our existing IoT/VaaS systems, providing Spectur with the ability to supply
more technically advanced systems into a broader and more discerning market.
Spectur has traditionally focused on servicing the construction and civil engineering industry security
requirements. This year we expanded our product sales into transport, mining, critical infrastructure, military
and government sectors, including a number of Tier 1 clients. Further growth potential exists with expansion
into the new industries as our technology expands.
Moving our business into the R&D and commercialisation phase led to several changes during the year, most
notably the appointment of experienced staff to implement the development and commercialisation of the
Company’s expanding product range. In addition, Mr Andrew Hagen was appointed on a consultancy basis to
lead the go-to-market strategy for a range of industries and geographies. We believe these and other
appointments will continue to serve our Company well through this next phase of our development.
Looking forward, our strategy is to build on our sales success of the past year. We are aiming to capitalise on
our existing client relationships by providing larger contracted camera unit deployments as well as opening up
opportunities by entering into new industries to drive our IoT platform sales and analysing international
expansion strategies. What we have learnt throughout the year is that entering new markets and industries can
be a challenging and time-consuming process however, once entered, can open up substantial revenue
opportunities.
Spectur is also consolidating its financial position by reviewing strategies to further improve cashflow through
a combination of increased sales, reducing overhead and operating expenses, and improving installation and
maintenance efficiencies.
In the next few months, we are planning a ‘soft’ entry into the US market once market feasibility studies assess
the potential risk/rewards as being favourable to Spectur. Now that our server systems have been adapted for
virtually infinite scaling, we are confident that a large growth in our IoT platform will not be a limiting factor.
We anticipate 2019 will continue with the solid growth experienced in the current year and provide the Company
with a sound financial platform as we focus on moving towards cost reduction programs and cash flow break
even in the medium term; from Spectur’s Australian operations.

On 19 June 2017, the Company lodged a Prospectus for an initial public offer with ASIC to raise up to $4,500,000 via the
issue of 22,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share (before costs); and an additional $55,000

SPECTUR LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Business Asset Acquisition
On 6 November 2017, Spectur announced that Spectur also completed a strategic entry into the Queensland market via
the acquisition of the solar-powered security surveillance business assets of leading Queensland seller of video surveillance
and cloud-based camera systems, Forrestbridge Pty Ltd trading as ‘SolarCam.’ The purchase price for the business assets
was $100,000 plus GST, to be paid evenly over a 36-month period.
The acquisition provided the opportunity for Spectur to leverage off existing ‘SolarCam’ distributor networks that service
various clients, including local and federal government departments to increase sales and market share of its products and
services within the Australian market.
In conjunction with the Sale Agreement, Mark Williamson (through Forrestbridge) was retained as Spectur’s Queensland
State Manager under a 2-year Consultancy Agreement. Mark was granted 500,000 Performance Rights by Spectur. Each
Performance Right entitles the holder to receive one fully paid ordinary share in Spectur, subject to performance milestones
being satisfied over a 3-year period, designed to create a net benefit for Spectur if achieved. Mark Williamson is to remain
as a consultant for the duration of the period for the Performance Rights to vest.
Placement
On 29 November 2017 the Company announced that it had undertaken a share placement to raise $2,196,000 before
costs. The Placement comprised the issue of 6,100,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.36 per share with 1,525,000 free
attaching options (each exercisable at $0.20, on or before 31 December 2020) on a 1:4 basis of each fully paid ordinary
share subscribed. The shares were issued on 8 December 2017 under the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule
7.1. The options were issued under a prospectus dated 5 December 2017, and were approved at a shareholder meeting
held on 17 January 2018.
Security Purchase Plan
The Company also raised an additional $684,000 before costs through a Security Purchase Plan (SPP) offer of shares and
options. The SPP comprised an offer of 1,900,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.36 per share with 475,000 free attaching
options (each exercisable at $0.20, on or before 31 December 2020) on a 1:4 basis of each fully paid ordinary share
subscribed.
Funds from the Placement and SPP are to be utilised for fast tracking the development and commercialisation of the
Company’s gas detection, light detection and ranging camera system (LIDAR) and thermal camera technologies, as well
as the continued expansion into the new distribution markets of Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. Funds will
also be allocated towards design and manufacture of trailer mounted rental models, as well as conducting market analysis
for potential international expansion.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results of Operations
For the year ended 30 June 2018, Spectur reported total revenue of $2.48M, up 86% on the corresponding prior year
revenue of $1.3M, underpinned by customer retention and growth in the customer base.
During the year ended 30 June 2018, Spectur invested in product development, bringing into commercialisation its portable
trailer mounted and thermal camera range.
Spectur’s balance sheet remains strong with minimal debt of $0.25M and a strong cash balance of $3.5M at year end (2017:
$136,206).
The comprehensive loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2018, after providing for income tax amounted to
$3.3M (2017: $426,501). The loss for the year is reduced to $2.0M after adding back the effect of non-cash equity settled
expenses.
Margins improved from the half yearly financials to finish just below 50% for the full year, highlighting the effort from the
team during the second half of the year. The board mandated a focus on improving margins and the Managing Director
achieved a solid result over such a short period.

been made.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those
proceedings. The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Company remains committed to building shareholders’ value, through Spectur:
•
Increasing its market share by growth within Australia from opening offices in Victoria, Queensland and New South
Wales;
• Potentially exporting overseas by targeting US and other markets (pending international certifications and market
analysis);
Targeting new industries with the focus on large scale and highly regulated industries;
•
• Bringing new products and service extensions to market by continued research and development,
• Seeking to acquire or partner with synergistic technology and operating businesses that can assist with growth;
•
and
Focusing on improving cashflow through a combination of increased sales and reducing input costs and
overheads.
DIVERSITY
The Company believes that the promotion of diversity on its Board and within the organisation generally is good practice
and is committed to managing diversity as a means of enhancing the Company’s performance. There are currently no

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
No non-audit services were provided by the Company’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd during the year (2017: $10,000). The
directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services in the prior year was compatible with the general standard of

provided means that the auditor independence was not compromised.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
B.2 Remuneration Committee
The Board implemented a Remuneration Committee during the year which was responsible for determining and reviewing
compensation arrangements for the Directors and Executives and making recommendations to the board.
B.3 Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration
is separate and distinct.
B.4 Policy for Executive Remuneration
The Company maintains its existing performance management procedures for key management personnel by having each
key manager undertake an annual performance appraisal with the Managing Director based on individual and business
performance expectations and other circumstances. The Executive Chairman and Managing Director’s performance is in
turn reviewed by the Remuneration Committee.
The Company’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a short and long term performance
based component. The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with
shareholder and business objectives.
Executive Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
-
-
Fixed remuneration or base salaries; and
Variable remuneration, being the “at risk” component related to performance comprising;
i)
ii)
Short Term Incentives (STI);
Long Term Incentive (LTI).
The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each Executive Director by the
Remuneration and Committee with reference to market comparator data and the scope of each of the individual executive’s
role and approved by the Board in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and the provisions of the STI and LTI Plans.
These elements are both described in detail below.
C. Remuneration Components
C.1 Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-
cash benefits. Fixed remuneration was reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board having regard
to remuneration paid to executives of relevant comparable peer group of companies taking into account company and
individual performance. The Company sought to position its fixed remuneration in line with comparably sized ASX listed
companies within the same sector. Size is determined by market capitalization at the time of comparison.
Executives receive an employer superannuation contribution made into a complying superannuation fund at the required
Superannuation Guarantee rate (Currently 9.5%,) of base salary. In line with prevalent market practice, executives may
receive other benefits including vehicle benefits and provision of a mobile telephone.
C.2 Variable Remuneration
C.2.1 STI Plan Applicable to the Reporting Period - 2018
The STI plan was implemented by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board during the year. Following a
review conducted mid-year, the remuneration committee noted that the remuneration of Spectur executives fell significantly
below the fixed remuneration component of that paid to executives of peer comparator companies. A STI scheme was
designed to provide an incentive mechanism to bring the base remuneration of key executives in line with peer group
companies if agreed KPI’s were met.
STI bonuses were paid to the executives upon achievement of certain stretched specified revenue milestones during the
financial year. The bonuses were paid in accordance with the terms of a short-term incentive scheme approved by the
remuneration committee and by the board. 100% of the bonus vested during the year, no percentage was forfeited during
the year as the service and performance criteria were met. No part of the bonus is payable in future periods. STI bonuses
were paid as follows:

C.3 STI Plan for the 2019 Reporting Period
The Board and executive management team are currently reviewing the STI plan for the 2019 year taking into account the
Company’s cash flow and financial performance. Having regard to the operations of the Company, the Board may approve
an STI plan based upon KPI’s, including measures such as successful commercialisation of the Company’s products and
services, (e.g. specified levels of commercial sales of the solar camera systems within budgeted timeframes and costs),
development activities, production and sales levels, operational cash flows, corporate activities (e.g. recruitment of key
personnel) and business development activities (e.g. joint ventures and business development).
C.4.1 LTI Plan During the Reporting Period
The LTI plan in operation for the executive directors during the year was a performance rights plan which was implemented
pre-IPO and links remuneration incentives by way of Performance Rights to Company performance targets. No
Performance Rights were issued to key management personnel during the period. Any value recorded in the remuneration
table in E.1, under “share based payments” received for key management personnel during the period relates to rights
granted in prior periods, to which the value on the date of grant has been brought to account over the applicable vesting
period, in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
The Board has also previously chosen to issue Options (where appropriate) to some executives and employees as a key
component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to
provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Company. Executives Directors also hold option incentives in the
Company acquired as part of their pre-IPO subscription.
C.4.2 LTI Plan for Future Reporting Periods
The Board may grant Options to executives with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of
agreement). As such, Incentive Options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to
the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options granted.
Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are no additional performance criteria on the Incentive Options granted
to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for
its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Company are closely
related. The Company prohibits executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options granted
as part of their remuneration package. No options were issued to executives during 2018.
C.5 Policy for and Components of Non-Executive Remuneration During the Reporting Period
Remuneration Policy
Non-Executive Director Fees
The overall level of annual Non-Executive Director fees was approved by shareholders in accordance with the requirements
of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act. The maximum aggregate pool of Directors’ fees payable to all of
the Company’s Non-Executive Directors is $250,000 per annum. This aggregate amount was approved by shareholders at
the 2017 Annual General Meeting.
Equity Compensation
In accordance with Australian practice and shareholder preference, the Company’s current policy is not to grant any further
equity-based compensation to Non-Executive Directors. Accordingly, no equity incentives were offered to Non-Executive
Directors in the reporting period to 30 June 2018. Andrew Hagen and Steve Bodeker were issued options pre-IPO under
the Spectur employee incentive scheme. Andrew Hagen and Steven Bodeker also hold options which were subscribed for
as part of the IPO option offer and subsequent SPP offer on the same terms as offered to all shareholders.

C.5 Policy for and Components of Non-Executive Remuneration During the Reporting Period (continued)
Remuneration Structure
Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed remuneration of base fees plus statutory superannuation, presently set at $35,000
per annum. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for
other services provided to the Company. In addition to these fees, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to reimbursement
of reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board, committee or
shareholder meetings whilst engaged by Spectur. Non-Executive Directors do not earn retirement benefits other than
superannuation and are not entitled to any compensation on termination of their directorships.
The annual Board and committee fees were reviewed during the reporting period to 30 June 2018 and have remained
unchanged since this review. A further review will be conducted in the next financial period in accordance with the annual
review of salaries performed by the Remuneration Committee.
The current Board and additional committee fee structure for Non-Executive Directors is as per the table below:
Board
Chair
N/A
Member

Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company; however, to align directors’ interests
with shareholder interests, the directors may hold shares in the Company as governed by the Company’s Securities Trading
Policy.
C.6 Remuneration Governance Including Use Of Remuneration Consultants
(i) The role of the Board

shareholder interests and is equitable for participants. The Remuneration Committee (“RC”) is responsible for reviewing
and making recommendations to the Board on remuneration matters. The members of the Committee, are:
Chairman – Steve Bodeker
Member – Andrew Hagen
Member and Secretary – Suzie Foreman
The Chairman of the Committee, Steve Bodeker, is an independent director.

Eligible Employees options to subscribe for Shares or performance rights entitling the holder to be issued Shares on terms
and conditions set by the Board at its discretion.
The objectives of the Plan are:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Company Performance
The Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the development of its
solar cameras and associated products and services activities. The Company does not currently have a policy with respect
to the payment of dividends and returns of capital however this will be reviewed on an annual basis.
Director’s remuneration is set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by
reference to the skills and experience of Directors. During the initial growth phase of the Company the key measurable
driver to the Company’s performance was sales revenue. A limited component of executives’ remuneration was linked to
revenue growth. Directors and executives also hold performance rights and options whose performance is linked to
shareholder wealth (via the Company’s share price).
The earnings of the Company for the previous 3 financial periods are summarised below:

(ii)
Salary and fees includes $15,000 for a vehicle allowance paid to Peter Holton and Richard Wilkins.
The share-based payments related to the value of performance rights which were issued to Richard Wilkins and Peter Holton as
part of the IPO process. In accordance with AASB 2, the performance rights issued to the Executives have been valued based
on factors such as the underlying share price, the expected vesting date and vesting probability in achieving the specified
revenue hurdles at the reporting date.
It should be noted that the Executives have not received this amount and the performance rights may have no actual financial
value unless the required performance hurdles are achieved. Stock may also be issued to the recipient at a share issue price
lower than valued and recognised in the financial report. Note that the valuation does not reflect the value of the equity benefits
received for tax purposes.
(iii) Mr Hagen was paid $35,000 for director fees and $62,417 to Breakwater (WA) Pty Ltd for business development activities during
2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
(a)
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements
of the law.
The financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company. For the purposes of preparing the financial
statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements are for Spectur Limited. Spectur Limited does not have any subsidiaries.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the
consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
The Company is a listed public company, incorporated and operating in Australia.
Adoption of new and revised standards
(b)
Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2018
In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.
As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
The Directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issued but are not yet adopted for the year ended
30 June 2018. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that the following Standards and Interpretations
will have a material effect on Group accounting policies in future financial periods, namely:
• AASB 16 Leases
• AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with Customers
The Company has elected not to early adopt these Standards and Interpretations
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised,
including in respect of multiple element arrangements. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, AASB 111
Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 1004 Contributions. AASB 15 is effective from annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.
The core principle of AASB 15 is that it requires identification of discrete performance obligations within a transaction and
associated transaction price allocation to these obligations. Revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of these performance
obligations, which occur when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards.
Revenue received for a contract that includes a variable amount is subject to revised conditions for recognition, whereby
it must be highly probable that no significant reversal of the variable component may occur when the uncertainties around
its measurement are removed.
The Company has commenced the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on existing revenue streams and
will first apply AASB 15 in the financial year beginning 1 July 2018.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b)
Adoption of new and revised standards (continued)
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 replaces the AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease,
Interpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving
the Legal Form of a Lease. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases- for
the lessee - effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Most leases will be capitalised on the balance sheet by
recognising a lease liability for the present value obligation and a 'right-of-use' asset. The right of use assets is calculated
based on the lease liability plus initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and estimated restoration costs less lease
incentives received. This will result in an increase in the recognised assets and liabilities in the statement of financial
position as well as a change in expense recognition, with interest and deprecation replacing operating lease expense.
There are exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items.
Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice, i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating
leases.
This standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group's operating lease. As at 30 June 2018, the Company has
$299,000 of non-cancellable operating lease commitments, predominantly relating to a property lease. The Company is
considering the available options to account for this transition, but the Company expects a change in reported earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and increase in lease assets and liabilities recognition. The
lease standard is also expected to impact on deferred tax balances. This will however be dependent on the lease
arrangements in place when the new standard is effective. The Group has commenced the process of evaluating the
impact of the new lease standard.
AASB 16 is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted for
entities that also adopt AASB 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using a full retrospective or a modified
retrospective approach.
Other than the above, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations
in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
(c)
The financial report was authorised for issued in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 31 August 2018.
Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial
statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Significant accounting estimates and judgements
(d)
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
Impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives:
The Company determines whether intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This
requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the intangibles with indefinite useful
lives are allocated.
Share-based payment transactions:
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using internal valuation models in
conjunction with the market price of the share-based payments.
Going concern
(e)
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business
activities and the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Segment reporting
(f)
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the board of Directors of Spectur.
(g)
Both the functional and presentation currency of Spectur is Australian dollars.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate
of exchange ruling at the balance date. All exchange differences in the financial report are taken to profit or loss with the
exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity.
These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or
loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items 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.
Revenue recognition
(h)
Revenue is measured at 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.
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are
satisfied:
•
•
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership
nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
•
•
•
Rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage
of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
• Contract income is recognised by reference to the total actual costs incurred at the end of the reporting period
relative to the proportion of the total costs expected to be incurred over the life of the contract;
• Servicing fees are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the service for the
product sold; and
• Revenue from time and material contracts are recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered
and direct expenses are incurred.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the
principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Leases
(i)
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are
consumed. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised
as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis,
except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the
leased asset are consumed.

Income tax
(j)
The income tax expense or benefit 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 difference 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. 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.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
•
•
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that
is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss; or
when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in
joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
•
•
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition
of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in
joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the
temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be
utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it
has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
Other taxes
•
•
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which
case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as
applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables
in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising
from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as
operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
(l)
The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the
asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or Company’s of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair
value.
In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is
considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment
losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the
impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
decrease).
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the reversal
is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate
the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Cash and cash equivalents
(m)
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand, net of bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as
defined above.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Trade and other receivables
(n)
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement
within periods ranging from 15 to 45 days.
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by
reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Company
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Company
in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and
significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Company. The impairment allowance is set equal to the
difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted
at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the
allowance.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When
a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period,
it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against
other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
(o)
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventories
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:
•
•
Raw materials – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis; and
Finished goods and work-in-progress – cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing
overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Property, plant and equipment
(p)
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost
includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.
Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and
equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation is calculated on diminishing value basis using the following rates:
Motor vehicle
Plant equipment
Office equipment
Camera equipment
25%
10% to 50%
10% to 50%
33.33%
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
financial year end.
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount
being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The
recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not
generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value. An impairment exists when the
carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating
unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item. However, because land and buildings are measured at
revalued amounts, impairment losses on land and buildings are treated as a revaluation decrement.

Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset
is derecognised.
Intangible assets
(q)
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is
charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is
reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with any changes in these accounting estimates being accounted for

Internally generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as
incurred.
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and
only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and to use or sell
the intangible asset; and
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the
date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-
generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on
the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of amortisation:
Patents
Trademarks
Goodwill
Product development
8 years following grant of patent
10 years following grant of trademark
3 years following acquisition
5 years following commercial use
Trade and other payables
(r)
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided
to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to
make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented
as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.
Borrowings
(s)
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.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible note is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-
convertible note. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or
maturity of the note. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included
in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax effects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued
Borrowings (continued)
(s)
Borrowings are removed from the 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.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Provisions
(t)
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the
risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
Share-based payment transactions
(u)
Equity settled transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of share-based
payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
Equity settled transactions (continued)
The Company has the following plan in place:
•
the Employee Incentive Plan (EIP), which provides benefits to Directors, senior executives and employees and is
governed by the Employee Incentive Plan Rules.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by internal valuation using a Black-Scholes
model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to
the price of the shares of Company (market conditions) if applicable.
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 balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect
of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income
charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of
that period.
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued
Share-based payment transactions(continued)
(u)
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were
a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per
share.
Cash settled transactions:
The Company also provides benefits to employees in the form of cash-settled share-based payments, whereby employees
render services in exchange for cash, the amounts of which are determined by reference to movements in the price of the
shares of Company.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. This fair value is expensed over
the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each balance
date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Cash settled transactions: (continued)
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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase
consideration.
Dividends
(v)
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.
Earnings per share
(w)
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs
of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
•
•
•
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of
potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary
shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

On 20 March 2017, the following Performance Rights were issued to the respective directors. On 26 April 2017, the Board
of Directors approved the resolution to amend the Tranche 3 vesting condition.
a. 10,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr. Charles Richard Wilkins, and
b. 10,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr. Peter Holton,
The performance rights have the following vesting conditions (which were updated on 26 April 2017):
(i) Tranche 1 – 33 1/3% - The total Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 being at least $1.75 million;
(ii) Tranche 2 – 33 1/3% - The total Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 being at least $3.5 million; and
(iii) Tranche 3 – 33 1/3% - The total Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2020 being at least $7 million.
A further 1,000,000 performance rights were issued to Spectur's lead manager on IPO, which are split 1/3 and have the
same vesting conditions at the 20,000,000 Directors performance rights issued above.
On 6 November 2017, 500,000 performance rights were issued to Spectur's Queensland state manager Mark Williamson
as part of Mark's consultancy arrangement for remaining with Spectur following the Forestbridge acquisition. The
performance rights vest upon the achievement of agreed annual internal sales revenue targets (for years 1-3).
All performance rights have been valued in accordance with AASB 2, which takes into account factors such as the
underlying share price, the expected vesting date and vesting probability in achieving the specified revenue hurdles at the
reporting date. The 500,000 performance rights were valued at $0.31 each being the underlying share price at the time of
grant, and have been brought to account over their vesting period. The director and lead manager performance rights
issued were valued at $0.10 each, being the underlying share price at the time of their grant.
At the reporting date, the Company considers that it is probable that all of the performance milestones for performance
shares on issue will be met (this being the best available estimate) and as such a value of $2,255,000 has been assigned
to the performance rights as at the reporting date and this has been brought to account over the vesting period in
accordance with AASB 2 Share based payments with $1,346,135 being expensed in the current financial year. The
Company continuously reassess the probability of each performance milestone being achieved up until the expiry of the
performance rights.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considers any changes in the credit quality of the trade
receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due
to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further credit provision
required in excess of the allowance for impairment.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis; and
• Work in progress – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis; and
•
Finished goods – cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is
charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is
reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with any changes in these accounting estimates being accounted for
on a prospective basis.

NOTE 12: INTANGIBLES (continued)
Patents
Patents that have lapsed or are forfeited and are not rolled into new patents, have been impaired and moved to an expense
in the year the patents lapsed/expired.
Internally generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as
incurred.
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and
only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
•
•
•
• How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
•
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and to use or sell
the intangible asset; and
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
•
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the
date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of amortisation:
Patents
Product development
Goodwill
8 Years
5 Years
3 Years
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and
is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those
from other assets or Company’s of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In
such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired is initially measured at cost .
Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Company of cash-generating
units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Company of cash-generating
units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating
unit (Company of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the
operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of
the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of
and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

These loans are secured by Plant & Equipment as well as Motor Vehicles. The interest rates on these loans are fixed and
range between 4.97% to 5.87% and interest is repayable within a period of 6 to 45 months from the reporting date. Total
monthly repayments are $5,934.
NOTE 15: PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating
to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the
risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of
sale of the relevant products, at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation.
The Company does not currently have a track record of any material warranty expense and are therefore expensing this
as and when it is incurred.

annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the equipment rental provision at each
reporting date.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a) Overview
The Company's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and bank overdrafts. The main risks
arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have been no
significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks.
The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Key
financial risks are identified and reviewed annually and policies are revised as required. The overall objective of the
Company's risk management policy is to recognise and manage risks that affect the Company and to provide a stable
financial platform to enable the Company to operate efficiently.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
a) Overview (continued)
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the Company's policy is
that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains. As the Company's
operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.
The Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The
Directors review and approve policies for managing the Company's financial risks as summarised below.

b) Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return
to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged
from prior years. The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising
issued capital, reserves and retained earnings (accumulated losses). Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand
operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax, and general administrative outgoings.
Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the
risks associated with each class of capital.
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient
collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is
supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial
information and its own trading record to rate its major customers.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of
counterparties having similar characteristics.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. The carrying amount of the Company's financial
assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:

Trade and other receivables are comprised primarily of trade receivables, R&D and GST refunds due. Where possible the
Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. The Company only extends credit to tier 1 companies and
all other sales are on a cash basis..
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default
of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
d) Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the bank overdrafts with floating
interest rate.
These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and
liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments was:

e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Company will always have sufficient liquidity to meet
its liabilities when due by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities.
The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There are no

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below details the Company’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in the Australian Dollar against the
United States Dollar. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. A
100 basis point is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to management and represents
management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates.
At reporting date, if foreign exchange rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all other variables held constant,
the Company’s loss will increase/decrease by $872 (2017: $Nil); and net assets will increase/decrease by $872 (2017:
$Nil).
The Company’s sensitivity to foreign exchange rates has not changed significantly from prior year.
g) Fair values
The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value. The methods for estimating
fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Spectur Limited
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Spectur (“the Company”) which comprises the statement of
financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of
changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
a) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
b) 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 Company in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Recognition and recoverability of intangible asset
Note 12
The company has recorded intangible assets of
$739,339 as at 30 June 2018 which relate to various
internally generation asset projects.
Recognition and recoverability of intangible assets
relating to these projects was considered to be a key
audit matter due to its importance to users of the
financial statements and the degree of audit effort
directed towards this area.
Going concern
Note 1(e)
The company recorded a loss of $3,319,043 and had
cash outflows from operating and investing activities
of $3,532,266. As at 30 June 2018 the company had
cash and cash equivalents of $3,487,070.
The going concern basis of accounting was a key audit
matter due to the significance to users of the financial
report and the significant judgement involved with
forecasting cash flows.
Our procedures included but were not
limited to:
‐ Reviewing amounts capitalised as
intangible assets during the year to ensure
such items met the recognition criteria
within Australian accounting standards;
‐ Considering the existence of any
indicators of impairment under AASB 136
‘Impairment of Assets’.
‐ Ensuring that appropriate disclosures are
made within the financial report.
Our procedures included but were not
limited to the following:
‐ We considered the appropriateness of
the going concern basis of accounting by
evaluating the underlying assumptions in
cash flow projections prepared by the
Group including sensitivity analysis.
‐ Our responsibilities in respect of the
going concern basis of accounting are
included below under Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the
financial report; and
‐ We examined the disclosures made in the
financial report.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but
does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
51
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or
to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
52
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 10 to 18 of the directors’ report for the
year ended 30 June 2018.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Spectur Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 complies
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Recommendation 2.6
No
A listed entity should have a program for inducting
new directors and provide appropriate professional
development opportunities for directors to develop
and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to
perform their role as directors effectively.
The Board does not consider that an independent
non-executive chair is necessary given Spectur’s
current size and scope of operations. As it develops
and its operations expand, the Board will review
this position.
The Managing Director, Peter Holton, is the chief

is in compliance with Recommendation 2.5.
Spectur does not currently have a formal induction
program for new Directors nor does it have a formal

The Directors have been selected on the basis that
