Managing Director’s Review  

Dear Fellow Shareholder, 

Financial year 2021 was a rollercoaster for Spectur Limited, as it was for many companies and people in our community.  
Following on from a challenging H2 FY20, our customers, business and people remained exposed to a market characterised 
by extended lockdowns and uncertainty. The second half of the financial year saw sentiment improve with the advent of 
increasingly available vaccines, as well as an ongoing shift in the Spectur business as management implemented its growth 
strategy.  The  contrast  in  halves  was  stark  in  financial  terms.  Against  an  uncertain  global  backdrop,  Spectur  executed 
strategy consistent with a strengthening corporate culture based around our shared values and vision for the business.   

Vision, Values and Mission 

Following the strategic direction that the Company set in mid-2020, Spectur has been on a journey evolving from a product-
oriented business to a solutions-oriented business. Our corporate vision is to harness the power of renewable energy to 
bring  autonomous sensing,  thinking  and  action  to  customers  outdoors.  This  has  shaped  the  customer  sectors  we  have 
targeted, the products and solutions we have developed and the technology we are researching. To deliver on this vision, 
our chosen pathway (or mission) is through: 

•  A premium offering; 
•  Constant evolution of our sales and technology towards more differentiated and less commodified solutions; and  
• 

Improving and maturing our internal processes and systems to support these pathways.   

We pursue this mission towards our vision in a culture characterised by honesty, customer focus, innovation, excellence 
and team orientation. We have made some positive strides in FY21 and I am proud of this business, the people in it and the 
positive difference that we make to our communities.  

FY21 strategy review 

Spectur’s strategic plan for FY21 was built around four key pillars: 

1.  Expanding product lines 
2.  Gaining entry into major projects 
3.  Adding sales channels; and  
4. 

Improving sales through enhanced marketing. 

Against these objectives we scored highly. 

FY21 saw the introduction of the STA6 platform to Spectur, bringing an unprecedented level of capability and features to 
the market. The STA6 platform delivers up to 4 cameras in 4k ultra-low light configuration, paired with advanced 32-bit 
processors equipped with uniquely programmable edge artificial intelligence. This platform delivers the first production-
scale solar-powered “fog computing” platform into the market. Market demand exceeded supply for much of H1 and was 
addressed in H2.  

Spectur also expanded the HD5 platform range to include material variants solving safety, warning and communications 
needs. Incorporating sophisticated and robust two-way (video and audio) communications as well as advanced prototyping 
of a digital signboard, these variants are now ready for broader scale production and sales.   

Major projects were another area where Spectur made considerable strides. In FY20, Spectur did not secure new contracts 
with  values  above  $100k.  In  FY21,  Spectur  secured  nearly  $2m  of  contracts  with  values  in  excess  of  $100k.  This 
transformation in order size and customer quality was in response to the implementation of the outbound sales team and 
processes, ongoing account management and the development of compelling technology that could meet customer needs 
at scale.   

This financial year was also characterised by unprecedented and welcome stability in our sales team. With the final hires 
occurring  in  July  and  August 2021,  the  sales  team  is  experienced  and  familiar  with  the  Spectur  solutions.  The  fruits of 
extended outbound prospecting and customer account management are being harvested. The addition of Mr Robin Walford, 
a very experienced Sales Manager (and former CEO) ultimately into the role of Chief Sales and Operations Officer, rounded 
out the team at the end of H1 and is propelling ongoing growth in the sales pipeline.   

In addition to the maturing of the sales team, Spectur also investigated growing a number of additional sales channels, the 
most notable of which culminated in the formation of a joint venture with Deus-Ex Limited in NZ to create Spectur NZ. This 
business is now established, generating revenues and is expected to increase its contributions in FY22.   

The final element of the FY21 strategy was to grow sales through enhanced marketing.  Spectur engaged a highly respected 
digital  marketing  partner,  concluded  the  bottom-up  build  of  a  new  website  that  reflected  our  corporate  strategy  and

Managing Directors’ Review 

experimented with a range of different outbound and inbound marketing strategies.  Whilst “success has many fathers”, 
enhanced marketing was surely a material contributor to revenue improvement of nearly 60% in H2 over H1.   

Financial results 

As  discussed  above,  Spectur’s  FY21  financial  performance  was  a  tale  of  two  halves.  The  first  half  of  the  year  was 
characterised by very tight cost control and cost reduction, whilst available funds were invested in future growth around 
marketing, sales and technology. The second half of the year saw the fruits of earlier investments and the growth of the 
pipeline.  Key milestones and metrics include: 

•
•
•

Revenue growth from FY21 H1 of $2.04m to FY21 H2 $3.21m – nearly 60%.
Reduction in loss from FY21 H1 of $1.02m to FY21 H2 $740k – more than 25% improvement.
Finished the financial year with $1.69m of cash and an unused debt facility of $1.5m.

FY22 strategy 

The  current  (FY22)  financial year  brings  an  evolution  and  compounding  of  the  successful  elements  and  investments  in 
FY21.  Core strategic elements include: 

1. Evolving the customer profile towards more differentiated buyers

Core to our mission has been the provision of a differentiated offering to sustain the historically high gross margins that 
Spectur has enjoyed. In the coming period, Spectur will continue to invest in outbound sales effort and associated targeted 
marketing on customers that value a differentiated or unique offering and can buy at scale. At present this focus continues 
to be on government, utilities and construction customers, and is expanding incrementally towards adjacent groups. 

2. Product and technology advances

Increased connectivity with customers has meant that Spectur has greater visibility on current and future needs of target 
sectors. This financial year will see further development of the core platforms, including the STA7, roll out of a broader 
range of internal and third-party AI applications and deployment of the expanded IoT sensing suite that will complement our 
current security, surveillance, safety and warning solutions. It is also expected that broader commercialisation of the two-
way communications capabilities developed in FY21 (VOIP phones and digital signboards) will continue.   

3. Production scaling

FY22 will see ongoing evolution in the methods of production of core technology, whilst investigations and plans are made 
for  future,  larger  scale  production.  A  range  of  options  considering  geography,  advanced  manufacturing  technologies, 
shipping and capital costs will be considered in the preparation of this longer-range blueprint for production scaling.  Spectur 
production capability needs to be ready for efficient, broader geographical deployment. 

4. System and process maturation

As  Spectur  moves  from  start  up  to  scaling  up,  internal  systems  and  processes,  including  enterprise  resource  planning 
(ERP), will be upgraded, matured and evolved, to deliver higher reliability, lower cost and overall improved performance.   

Outlook 

As of 25 August 2021, Spectur has increased the unweighted pipeline to $5.62m of work ($2.33m of weighted pipeline), a 
stable and engaged workforce, strong technical and institutional foundations and a clear plan to drive sustainable growth. 
Whilst there remains the ever-present potential of government-enforced lockdowns, pandemics and other events beyond 
the control of Spectur, the need for our solutions remains clearer than ever and the resilience of our target customer base 
increases. For comparative purposes, even with more than half of the country in lockdown, the revenues for July 2021 are 
more than 40% higher than those experienced in July 2020.   

We plan to inform the market of our ongoing technical developments, strategy implementation and material sales results 
throughout the year, demonstrating the predictable delivery of our plans. Thank you for your support during these interesting 
times. Spectur has a unique position in a global marketplace worth more than a billion dollars (solar sensing, thinking and 
action).  We look forward to sharing this journey with you. 

Yours sincerely, 

Gerard Dyson 
Managing Director

Operating and Financial Review 

Results of Operations 
For  the  year  ended  30  June  2021,  Spectur  reported  total  revenue  of  $5.2M,  an  approximate  8%  increase  on  the 
corresponding prior year revenue of $4.8M. 

Gross margins declined to 60% in FY2021 from 64% in the prior year, as the Company launched a new product line and 
absorbed some increases in costs within the component supply chain. Earnings / Loss before Interest, Tax and Depreciation 
and Amortisation (EBITDA) fell to $1.74M (loss) from the prior period loss of $1.47M. (Note EBITDA is adjusted for share-
based  compensation, one  off income  /  expenses (including COVID-19  relief),  impairments,  write  downs,  one off  gains  / 
losses and non-cash expenses .) 

Spectur’s financial position remains strong with minimal debt of $61k (excluding office lease liabilities) and a cash balance 
of $1.7M at year end (2020: $1.6M). The Company’s balance sheet is strengthened by access to a loan facility of $1.5M, 
which can be drawn down from 1 July 2021. The comprehensive loss for the year ended 30 June 2021, after providing for 
income tax, amounted to $1.76M (2020: $1.62M).

Future Developments 

The last twelve months saw the consolidation of a revised marketing strategy, a stabilised outbound sales team and a new 
product line (the STA6). Spectur’s focus in the coming twelve months is to: 

•

•

•

Continue  the  migration  of  the  customer  base  from  more  transactional  inbound  customers  to  more  strategic
customers in our target sectors of government and utilities, major construction and adjacent groups. In particular,
the  Company  is  looking  to  focus  on  customers  where  the  differentiated  capabilities  of  Spectur  around
customisation, integration, low power and data management and “fog” computing can be leveraged.
Further optimise and narrow the focus of marketing activities to target key customer groups and support the sales
process. This will include key outbound events, publications and other digital marketing.
Extend  the  next  phase  of  the  research  and  development  long  term  roadmap.  This  includes  a  number  of  key
performance, reliability, cost and production related elements of existing platforms as well as the development of
new features and the next generation STA7. Ultimately, Spectur is seeking to build a fully modular software and
hardware platform in the next three-year period, integrating core Spectur technology with third party sensing, AI
and peripherals.

• Mature internal processes as the business increases scale. Combined with the implementation of a new, company
wide,  Microsoft  Dynamics  ERP,  processes  around  research  and  development  through  to  production  will  be
matured and documented supporting scaling, efficiency in execution and the ability to interact productively with
partner organisations.

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.  The  Company  has  two 
Officers  /  Directors  who  are  female,  Bilyana  Smith  (Non-executive  director)  and  Suzie  Foreman  (company  secretary).

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for the Managing Director by the RNC with 
reference  to  market  comparator  data  and  the  scope  of  the  Managing  Director’s  role  and  is  approved  by  the  Board  in 
accordance with the Remuneration Policy and the provisions of the Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long Term Incentive 
(LTI) Plans. These elements are both described in detail below. Non-executive Directors are excluded from participation. 

Fixed Remuneration 

Variable Remuneration 

Fixed remuneration is made up of 
base salary, superannuation. 

Variable component of executive target remuneration mix allows a greater 
share of remuneration at risk and subject to performance. 

Fixed remuneration is targeted at the

➢  STI hurdles based upon the 

achievement of certain stretched 
specified KPI’s during the financial

would be able to exert sufficient 
control to achieve a demonstrated 
strategic outcome in his role.  

➢  The targets can consist of KPI’s 
covering both financial and non-
financial measures of performance 
and may be based on company, 
individual, business and personal 
objectives. 

➢  Grants made annually with vesting

this was reduced to two years for 
FY22. 

➢  Performance hurdles reviewed

Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) 

Aspect 

Purpose 

Plan, Offers and Comments 

This element of remuneration aims to provide an incentive for executives to deliver on or 
outperform  annual  business  plans  that  will  lead  to  sustainable  and  superior  returns  for 
shareholders.  

Measurement period

package for target performance, with a maximum/stretch opportunity of up to 50% of the 
base package for achievement of the high case target. 

FY22 

The Managing Director was offered a target based STIP equivalent of up to 35% of the base 
package for target performance, with a maximum/stretch opportunity of up to 50% of the

Committee,  with  assessment  of  performance  against  KPIs  conducted  following  the 
finalisation  of  the  full  year  audited  results.  The  individual  performance  of  the  Managing

Remuneration Report (Audited) 

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive Plan 
Performance rights were granted to executives with hurdles that apply as follows for FY21: 

(1) 75% of the LTIP grant is subject to an Earnings Per Share (EPS) hurdle; and
(2) 25% of the LTIP grant is subject to a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle.
The use of two performance hurdles was consistent with market practice at the time.

For FY21 the performance hurdles were amended to reflect an equal weighting against Full Year FY2023 Revenue and Full 
Year FY2023 EBITDA (both tested at the end of FY23). The Remuneration Committee and Board considered that as a result 
of the general economic uncertainty surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, a reduced timeframe of 2 years 
and performance hurdles relating to internal financial measurements under the control of the executive provided a more 
appropriate reward and retention mechanism. 

The hurdles motivate executives with a clear line of sight to strategic outcomes outcome through the performance hurdle 
measurements. 

When expectations are met, and all other things being equal, the LTIP is intended to vest and deliver the appropriate level 
of remuneration and market positioning.  

In total, the Company granted 3,301,887 performance rights to the Managing Director for FY21 which was approved by 
shareholders at the Company Annual General Meeting in October 2020. 

The structure and details of LTIP Performance Rights issued to executives in FY21 and proposed for FY22 under the plan 
are summarised in the following table: 

Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (LTIP) 

Aspect 

Purpose 

Participation 

Plan, Offers and Comments 

The LTIP’s purpose is to align executive interests with those of shareholders by linking 
reward to sustainable value creation for shareholders and to assist in the attraction and 
retention of a stable focused Managing Director and leadership team. 

Grants are made to those executives and key employees that are able to influence the 
generation of shareholders’ wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Company’s 
performance against the relevant long-term performance hurdle. NEDs are not eligible to 
participate in the LTIP. 

Nature 

Each LTIP Performance Right entitles the participant to one share in the Company upon 
vesting. 

Grant Frequency 

Annual grant and ad-hoc on commencement of employment and future potential grants. 

Delivery 

Value / Number 

Key Performance 
indicators, weightings 
and performance goals 

LTI’s are delivered under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). The EIP enables 
the Company to offer Executive Directors and key employees (Eligible Participants) a range 
of different employee incentive scheme (ESS) interests with the aim of attracting, motivating 
and  retaining  key  management.  These  ESS  interests  or  awards  include  options, 
performance rights, service rights, deferred shares, exempt shares, cash rights and stock 
appreciation rights. 

Awards under the LTI plan are made in the form of Performance Rights which provide, when 
vested,  one  share  at  nil  cost  (provided  the  specified  performance  hurdle  is  met).  No 
dividends  are  paid  on  unvested  LTI  awards.  A new  share will  be  issued  for  each  vested 
Performance  Right.    The  number  of  Performance  Rights  allocated  for  each  Eligible 
Participant is calculated by reference to their maximum LTI opportunity value.  

Allocations are made based on a face value approach using the Volume Weighted Average 
Price  of  Spectur’s shares  over  a  specified  period  prior  to  the  award  date.  This  fixes  the 
maximum number of shares / rights and the actual number will vest in accordance with the 
performance conditions which are set. 

The hurdles and relative weightings applying to LTI grants issued in the respective 
periods are as follows: 

FY21 

➢ 75% EPS in FY2022 (tested at the end of the 2-year period).
➢ 25% Share price growth over a  2-year period ‘Total Shareholder Return’ (TSR)

tested at the end of FY2022

➢  50% Full Year FY2023 Revenue (tested at the end of FY23).

If cessation of employment occurs, the following treatment will apply in respect of unvested 
rights: 

• 

• 

If the participant ceases employment with Spectur on resignation or on termination 
for cause, unvested Performance Rights will normally be forfeited. 

If the participant ceases employment in other circumstances (for example, due to 
illness, total or permanent disablement, retirement, redundancy, end of contract 
or  other  circumstances  determined  by  the  Board),  unvested  rights  will  stay  ‘on 
foot’  and  may  vest  at  the  end  of  the  original  performance  period  to  the  extent 
performance conditions are met.  

The Board may determine in its discretion that the number of rights available to vest will be 
reduced pro-rata for time at the date employment ceases. 

The Board will retain discretion to allow for accelerated vesting (pro-rated for performance 
and/or time) in special circumstances (as opposed to allowing unvested rights to remain ‘on 
foot’ on cessation of employment). 

Unless  the  Board  determines otherwise,  a  pro-rata  number of  the  participant’s  unvested 
rights will vest based on the proportion of the performance period that has passed at the 
time of the change of control. 

Vesting may also be subject to the achievement of pro-rata performance conditions at the 
time of the change of control.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee may use independent Remuneration Consultants to provide advice but 
elected not to do so for FY21. 

Remuneration Policy vs Financial Performance 
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.  

FY21 short term remuneration incentives were linked to financial performance via Revenue and EBITDA measurement and

G. Non-Executive Director Remuneration During the Reporting Period

Remuneration Policy 
In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  Non-Executive  Director  (NED)  and  executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct. 
The overall level of annual NED 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 
NEDs 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 the Company’s policy was not to grant any incentive equity-based compensation to 
NEDs. This policy was revised in FY22 following a change in circumstances related to COVID-19 impacting the business: 

•

•
•
•

•

NED’s took a 20% salary reduction during Q4 FY20 and Q1FY21 (a total of approx. 6 months), and revised to a
10% reduction for Q2FY21 in alignment with Company policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to limit
overhead expenses.
NED’s were paid via shares in lieu of remaining salary for Q4FY20, escrowed for 12 months.
NED fees have remained static (for Bilyana Smith through FY20, 21 and now FY22), Darren Cooper FY19-22.
In the interests of cash preservation for the Company, and retaining the talent pool of directors, 500,000 unquoted
options were awarded to each of the NED’s (July 2021) as a reward for their commitment and retention.
The  options  have  no  vesting  conditions,  expire  30  June  2024,  and  will  be  exercisable  at  a  42%  premium  to
Spectur’s share price at the time of grant, and are subject to approval by shareholders at Spectur’s 2021 AGM.
An expense of $73,938 was recognised in FY21 in relation to these.

Accordingly, no other equity incentives were offered to NEDs in the reporting period to 30 June 2021. Shares were issued 
to Darren Cooper and Bilyana Smith during the year in lieu of their reduced Board fees for Q4FY20. These were approved 
by Spectur shareholders at the 2020 Annual General Meeting.  

Remuneration Structure 
NEDs receive a fixed remuneration of base fees, presently set at $40,000 per annum plus statutory superannuation. These 
fees cover the board activities and membership of any relevant committees. In addition to these fees, NEDs 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.  NEDs  do  not  earn  retirement  benefits  other  than 
superannuation and are not entitled to any compensation on termination of their directorships.  

All NED fees remain unchanged until further notice and pending review of market conditions and Company performance. 

The current Board fee structure which includes committee fees for NEDs is as per the table below:

Note 1: Basis of Preparation 

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. 

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 the years presented unless otherwise stated. 
The financial statements for Spectur Limited (Spectur) or (Company). Spectur Limited holds a 51% interest in Spectur 
New Zealand Ltd. The investment in Spectur NZ is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with AASB 128. 

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 financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. 

Spectur is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), is a public company, incorporated and operating in Australia. 
The entity’s principal activities are detailed in the Directors’ Report.  

(a) 

Statement of compliance 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 August 2021. 

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).   

(b) 

Adoption of New and Revised Standards 

New Standards and Interpretations applicable for the  year ended 30 June 2021 

For the year ended 30 June 2021, 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 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 change is necessary to accounting policies. 

New Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted 

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the 
year ended 30 June 2021.  As a result of this review 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  change  is  necessary  to 
accounting policies. 

(c) 

Going Concern 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal  business 
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

(d) 

Foreign currency translation 

The functional and presentation currency of Spectur Limited is Australian dollars.  
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.

(e) 

Investment in associates and joint ventures 

Investments  in  associates  and  joint  ventures  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method.  The  carrying  amount  of  the 
investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Company’s share of the profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency 
with the accounting policies of the Company. 

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Company and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to 
the extent of the Company’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also 
tested for impairment.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies 

(a) 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company, is expected to be entitled in 
exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.  

For each contract with a customer, the Company: 

• 
• 
• 

• 

• 

identifies the contract with a customer. 
identifies the performance obligations in the contract.  
determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value 
of money. 
allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling 
price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and  
recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to 
the customer of the goods or services promised.  

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The  measurement  of  variable 
consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly 
probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  measurement 
constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts 
received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which 
is generally at the time of delivery. 

Rendering of service 
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed 
price or an hourly rate. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

(b) 

Other Income and Expenses 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.  This applies even if they are paid 
out of pre-acquisition profits.  However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence. 

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. 

Borrowing costs 
Borrowing costs are capitalised that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying 
assets where the borrowing cost is added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready 
for their intended use or sale. 

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying 
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(c) 

Income Tax Expenses 

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 based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting period in the countries where the Company operates and generates 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. 

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 balance 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. 

Other taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 
•  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.

(d) 

Segment Reporting 

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 Managing Director of Spectur Limited. 

(e) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash  comprises  cash  at  bank  and  in  hand.  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. 

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings as current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purposes 
of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of 
outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(f) 

Trade and Other Receivables 

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 30 days to 60 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 profit or loss and other 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(g) 

Inventories 

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 
• 

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. 

(h) 

Property, plant and equipment 

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.

Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

(h) 
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. 

(i) 

Intangible assets 

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. 

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: 
• 
• 
• 
•  How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 
• 

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; 

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 
Other Intangibles   
Product development 

8 years following grant of patent 
10 years following grant of trademark 
3 years following acquisition 
3 to 5 years following commercial use 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than Other Intangibles 
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 group of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value.

(j) 

Right-of-use assets 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in 
the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, 
and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end 
of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted 
for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to 
profit or loss as incurred. 

(k) 

Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables 
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. 

(l) 

Employee benefits 

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave expected 
to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in employee benefits in respect of employees’ services 
up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities 
for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave not 
expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in non-current employee benefits in respect 
of employees’ services up to the balance date. They are measured as the present value of the estimated future outflows 
to be made by the Company. 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given 
to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity 
and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

(m) 

Contract liabilities 

A  contract  liability  is  the  obligation  to  transfer  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  for  which  the  Company  has  received 
consideration  (or  an  amount  of  consideration  is  due)  from  the  customer.  If  a  customer  pays  consideration  before  the 
Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the 
payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under 
the contract. 

(n) 

Lease liabilities 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed 
payments  less  any  lease  incentives  receivable,  variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate,  amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option 
is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend 
on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if there is a change in the following:  

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used.  
residual guarantee.  
lease term.  
certainty of a purchase option and  
termination penalties.  

When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if 
the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. 

(o) 

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. 

Onerous contracts 
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is 
considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under 
the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. 

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. 

(p) 

Share-based payment transactions 

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). 

The Company has an Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) in place, which provides benefits to Directors, senior executives and 
employees and is governed by the EIP 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  binomial  / 
trinomial valuation model where appropriate. 

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  
(a) 
(b) 

the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and  
(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.

(p) 
Equity settled transactions (Continued) 

Share-based payment transactions (continued) 

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. 

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 volume weighted average 
traded share price for the equity granted  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. 

(q) 

Issued capital 

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.   

(r) 

Dividends 

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 

(s) 

Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) 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/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) 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.

Note 3: Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

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. 

(a)  Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of goods 

When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers, the key performance obligation of the Company 
is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer 
obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access. 

(b) 

Inventories 

Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at 
each reporting date. The future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven 
changes that may reduce future selling prices. 

(c)  Useful lives of depreciable assets 

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected 
utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain 
software and IT equipment. 

(d) 

Impairment 

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on 
expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about 
future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate. 

(e)  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 by using a binomial or trinomial model where 
appropriate. 
The Company measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the volume 
weighted average traded share price for the equity granted taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the 
instruments were granted.  

(f)  Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that 
sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.  Significant management judgement is 
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level 
of future taxable profits. 

(g)  Allowance for expected credit losses 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the 
lifetime  expected  credit  loss, grouped  based  on  days overdue,  and  makes  assumptions to  allocate  an  overall  expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact 
of  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  and  forward-looking  information that  is  available.  The  allowance  for  expected 
credit losses, as disclosed in note 12, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual 
credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. 

(h)  Lease term 
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement 
is  exercised  in  determining  whether  there  is  reasonable  certainty  that  an  option  to  extend  the  lease  or  purchase  the 
underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods 
to  be  included  in  the  lease  term.  In  determining  the  lease  term,  all  facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economical 
incentive  to  exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  to  exercise  a  termination  option,  are  considered  at  the  lease 
commencement  date.  Factors  considered  may  include  the  importance  of  the  asset  to  the  Company's  operations; 
comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant

Note 3: Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

leasehold  improvements;  and  the  costs  and  disruption  to  replace  the  asset.  The  Company  reassesses  whether  it  is 
reasonably certain to exercise an extension option,  or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or 
significant change in circumstances. 

Incremental borrowing rate 

(i) 
Where  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  a  lease  cannot  be  readily  determined,  an  incremental  borrowing  rate  is  estimated  to 
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such 
a rate is based on what the Company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain 
an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. 

Long service leave 

(j) 
The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting 
date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and 
inflation have been taken into account. 

(k)  Lease make good provision 
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision 
includes  future  cost  estimates  associated  with  closure  of  the  premises.  The  calculation  of  this  provision  requires 
assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically 
reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs 
for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the 
provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss. 

(l)  Warranty provision 
In determining the level of provision required for warranties the Company has made judgements in respect of the expected 
performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the 
costs of fulfilling the conditions of the warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data 
associated with similar products and services. 

(m)  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may 
have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services 
offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed 
in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any 
significant  uncertainties  with  respect  to  events  or  conditions  which  may  impact  the  Company  unfavourably  as  at  the 
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Note 5:  Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

Disaggregation of revenue 
AASB 134 requires an entity to disclose a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers required by paragraphs 
114-115 of AASB 15. The Company has selected to disaggregate revenue according to the timing of the transfer of goods 
and/or services. As the Company elected the modified retrospective method of adoption, comparative information under 
AASB 15 is not required as disclosures for the comparative period in the notes follow the requirements of AASB 111, AASB 
118 and other related interpretations. 

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of goods and the provision of services at a point in time and over time in 
the following major categories.

Expected credit losses 
The Company applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables 
as these items do not have a significant financing component. In measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables 
have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based 
on the days past due. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales over the past 24 months before 30 June 2021 and 30 
June  2020  respectively  as  well  as  the  corresponding  historical  credit  losses  during  that  period.    Trade  receivables  are 
written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make payments within 180 days from the invoice 
date and failure to engage with the Company on alternative payment arrangement amongst other is considered indicators 
of no reasonable expectation of recovery. On the above basis the expected credit loss for trade receivables at 30 June 2021 
and 30 June 2020 was determined as follows: 

30 June 2021 

Current (not 
past due)

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. 

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.  

Spectur Limited – Annual Financial Report – Year ended 30 June 2021 

Page 48 of 66 

Other Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 16: Intangibles (continued) 

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 
Other Intangibles   

8 Years 
3 to 5 Years 
3 Years 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than Other Intangibles 
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 group 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. 

Other Intangibles  
Other Intangibles acquired are initially measured at cost. 

Following initial recognition, Other Intangibles are measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses. 

Other Intangibles are 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 (Group of cash-generating units), 
to which the Other Intangibles relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Group of cash-generating 
units)  is  less  than  the  carrying  amount,  an impairment  loss  is  recognised.  When  Other  Intangibles forms  part  of  a  cash-
generating  unit  (Group  of  cash-generating  units)  and  an  operation  within  that  unit  is  disposed  of,  the  Other  Intangibles 
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. Other Intangibles 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 Other Intangibles are not subsequently reversed.

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. 

Equipment Rental Costs 
The provision for equipment rental costs relates to the estimated cost of work to be carried out in relation to the removal 
and refurbishment of rental equipment at the end of the rental agreement term. The provision represents the best estimate 
of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Future costs are reviewed 
annually  and  any  changes  in  the  estimate  are  reflected  in  the  present  value  of  the  equipment  rental  provision  at  each 
reporting date.

Note 24:  Financial Instruments 

Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure and reduce 
the cost of capital.  

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and equity attributable to equity 
holders  of  the  Company,  comprising  issued  capital,  reserves  and  retained  earnings.  Operating  cash  flows  are  used  to 
maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax, dividends and general administrative 
outgoings. The Company would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment.  

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2020 Annual Report. 
Financial risk management objectives 

The Company is exposed to: 
(i) market risk (which includes foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, share price risk and commodity price risk), 
(ii) credit risk and  
(iii) liquidity risk. 

Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The Company does not 
enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments. 

Market risk 

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest 
rates, and share prices. There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the way it manages and 
measures the risk from the previous period. 

Foreign currency exchange risk management 

The  Company  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currencies,  hence  exposures  to  exchange  rate 
fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising purchasing limits. 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the  
balance date expressed in Australian dollars were nil.

Note 24:  Financial Instruments(continued) 

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 

The sensitivity analyses below detail 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 balance date, if foreign exchange rates had 
been 10 basis point higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s: 
• 
• 
The Company’s sensitivity to foreign exchange has not changed significantly from the prior year. 

Profit or loss would increase/decrease by $nil (2020: $nil); and 
Equity reserves would increase/decrease by $nil (2020: $nil). 

Interest rate risk management 

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. 

A 10-basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to management and represents 
management’s assessment of the change in interest rates.  

At balance date, if interest rates had been 10 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the 
Company’s: 
• 
• 
The Company’s sensitivity to interest rate risk has decreased during the year mainly due to the reduction in cash invested 
in term deposits. 

Profit or loss would increase/decrease by $nil (2020: $1,014); and 
Equity reserves would increase/decrease by $nil (2020: $1,014). 

Credit risk management 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit 
risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks and trade and other receivables. 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.  

Liquidity risk management 

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. 

Non-derivative financial liabilities 
The following tables detail the Company’s expected contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. 
These have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date 
the Company can be required to repay. 
The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.

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. 

The Company has several financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. 
The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of current receivables, current payables and current borrowings  are  a 
reasonable approximation of their fair values. 

Note 25:  Contingent liabilities 

The Company had no contingent liabilities as at the reporting date. 

Note 26: Share-based payments 

a) Recognised Share-based Payment Expense

From time to time, the Company provides Incentive Options or Performance Rights to officers, employees, consultants and 
other  key  advisors  as  part  of  remuneration  and  incentive  arrangements.    The  number  of  options  /  Performance  Rights 
granted and the terms of the options granted are determined by the Board.  Shareholder approval is sought where required. 

During the past two years, the following equity-settled share-based payments have been recognised:

The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns

may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of performance rights granted were incorporated into

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 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.   We  have determined the matters described below 
to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter 

How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit 
matter 

Revenue and related risk of fraud 
Refer to Note 5 

The total revenue from operations for the year is 
$5,248,882, with revenue being predominately 
generated through equipment sales, rentals and 
related services. 

Due to the material nature of this balance and the 
presumption of fraud risk over revenue recognition, as 
prescribed by Australian Auditing Standards, this area 
has been subject to significant audit procedures. 

Our procedures included but were not limited 
to the following: 
•  We reviewed the Company’s accounting 

policy regarding the recognition and/or 
deferral of revenue in line with AASB 15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers; 

•  We reviewed the calculation of deferred 
revenue to ensure that it is correctly 
calculated and in accordance with AASB 
15; 

•  We selected a sample of revenue 

transactions and agreed the transactions 
to underlying supporting documentation; 

•  We performed audit procedures to 

ensure that revenue is materially 
complete, including procedures 
surrounding cut-off at balance date; and 

•  We assessed the adequacy of the 

Company’s disclosures in respect of 
revenue and deferred revenue. 

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 2021, 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.  

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 

Page 61 of 66 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

- 

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
