Traffic Technologies Ltd

During  2005  Traffic  Technologies  has  continued 
the  development,  marketing  and  sale  of  its  Smart 
Traffic Light which uses LED technology rather than 
incandescent  or  halogen  globes.  This  provides 
significantly improved performance when compared 
with  existing 
the  power 
consumption,  maintenance  and  operating  costs 
for  road  traffic  authorities.  Traffic  Technologies  has 
entered  into  discussions  with  a  number  of  road 
authorities  in  Australia  and  internationally  regarding 
the supply of its Smart Traffic Light. 

lights,  reducing 

traffic 

A  number  of  Australian  states  and  territories  are 
now  introducing  or  conducting  trials  into  the  use  of 
LED  traffic  light  systems.  While  the  take  up  of  LED 
technology  for  traffic  lights  has  been  slow  to  date, 
road traffic authorities throughout Australia are now 
implementing  more  rapid  rollout  programmes.  The 
Directors  anticipate  that  most  major  intersections 
throughout Australia will be converted to LED traffic 
light systems over time.

Since the re-quotation of the Company’s Shares on 
ASX in January 2005, the Company has announced 
traffic 
a  number  of  strategic  acquisitions  of 
management  and  related  businesses, 
including 
Traffic Management Solutions Pty Ltd (Geelong), Ace 
Traffic  Management  Pty  Ltd  (Adelaide),  Able  Traffic 
Management  Pty  Ltd  (Melbourne)  and  traffic  signs 
manufacturer,  De  Neefe  Pty  Ltd.  The  company  has 
also acquired a 10% strategic stake in Perth-based 
traffic management company Warp Pty Ltd.  

In  July  2005  Traffic  Technologies  entered  into  an 
agreement  to  acquire  traffic  sign  company  De 
Neefe. 

A  manufacturer  of  traffic  signs,  De  Neefe  has  been 
operating  for  over  30  years  and  has  operations  in 
every State of Australia except Queensland. 

Traffic Technologies views De Neefe as an ideal fit with 
its traffic management business and consistent with 
its  strategy  of  offering  traffic  management  services 
and equipment. Combined with Traffic Technologies’ 
existing locations across Australia the enlarged group 
will  offer  combined  signage  and  traffic  services  to 
traffic management customers.

Traffic  Technologies  plans  to  expand  its  product 
offering to include electronic road signage including 
variable  message  signs  and  signs  using  LED 
technology.  Traffic  Technologies  has  an  existing 
suite  of  LED  traffic  lights  and  this  expertise  will  be 
of  assistance  in  marketing  and  selling  De  Neefe’s 
product range.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 

Dear Shareholder, 

I have pleasure in enclosing the Annual Report for Traffic Technologies Limited for the financial year ended 30 
June 2005. 

The  company  has  gone  through  an  exciting  period  since  re-listing  in  January  2005  that  has  resulted  in  the 
creation of the first fully integrated traffic services company in Australia. 

Through the acquisitions of Traffic Services Australia in August 2004 and the subsequent acquisition of Traffic 
Management  Services  in  Geelong,  Ace  in  Adelaide,  Able  in  Melbourne  and  a  10%  stake  in  Warp  Group  in 
Western  Australia  we  now  have  a  national  traffic  management  business  with  annualised  revenue  of 
approximately $30m. 

At the time of this report the company has also announced the acquisition of De Neefe Signs, the largest traffic 
sign manufacturer in Australia.  These new acquisitions, coupled with the Company’s LED traffic light and the 
BarrierGuard 800 barrier system for which the Company has been appointed the distributor in Australia, have 
created a group with annualised revenues estimated to be approximately $60m per annum. 

As  outlined  previously  our  strategy  is  to  consolidate  a  fragmented  traffic  management  services  industry  in 
Australia.  Traffic Technologies Limited expects to make further strategic acquisitions in the year ahead.  The 
Company has also recently announced an $8m capital raising via a placement to Institutional Investor, Equity 
Partners, which is subject to shareholder approval, a $1.4m placement to sophisticated investors and a share 
purchase plan to existing eligible shareholders. 

I,  along  with  my  fellow  Directors,  thank  you  for  your  support  over  the  past  year  and  look  forward  to  creating 
shareholder value for you as we develop the Company’s business in what we believe will be an exciting year 
ahead. 

Yours faithfully,

CORPORATE INFORMATION 

Corporate structure 

Traffic  Technologies  Limited  is  a  Company  limited  by  shares  that  is  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia.    Traffic 
Technologies  Limited  has  prepared  a  consolidated  financial  report  incorporating  the  entities  that  it  controlled  during  the 
financial year.  The Company’s subsidiary entities are set out in Note 7 to the financial statements. 

Employees 

The consolidated entity employed 521 employees as at 30 June 2005 (2004: 8 employees). 

Nature of operations and principal activities 

The  consolidated  entity’s  principal  activity  is  the  provision  of  traffic  management  services.    Since  re-listing  on  ASX  in 
January 2005 the Company has entered into a number of acquisitions in the traffic management area as detailed below. 

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Results 

The  consolidated  loss  after  income  tax  attributable  to  the  members  of  Traffic  Technologies  Limited  was  $0.9m  (2004: 
$0.4m). 

Review of operations 

A  review  of  the  operations  of  the  consolidated  entity  during  the  financial  year  and  the  results  of  those  operations  are  as 
follows: 

Traffic lights 

Traffic  Technologies,  through  its  subsidiary  Traffic  Technology  International  Pty  Ltd,  is  involved  in  the  development, 
marketing and sale of a new type of traffic light that utilises LED technology (Smart Traffic Light). The Smart Traffic Light 
delivers  significantly  improved  performance  when  compared  with  existing  traffic  lights  reducing  the  traffic  lights'  power 
consumption, maintenance and operating costs for road traffic authorities. 

Traffic management 

In August 2004 the Company acquired Traffic Services Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (TSA).  TSA is one of Australia's largest 
traffic management companies, providing temporary traffic management services to road traffic authorities and construction 
companies.  TSA’s core business is the provision of traffic management services for the effective flow of traffic through, or 
around,  road  and  other  construction  projects.    This  includes  the  provision  of  traffic  management  control  plans,  traffic 
controllers  and  the  vehicles  and  equipment  necessary  for  the  installation  of  temporary  traffic  guidance  systems.    TSA  is 
based in Brisbane and has operations in Sydney, Cairns and on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. 

Re-quotation of securities on ASX 

In November 2004 the Company issued a Prospectus offering for subscription 30,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 
each, payable in full on Application, to raise $6,000,000.  The capital raising was undertaken to complete the acquisition of 
TSA, further develop the Company's traffic management business, enable strategic and complementary acquisitions as and 
when opportunities arise, provide working capital and pay the costs of the capital raising.  On 12 January 2005 quotation of 
the Company’s securities was reinstated on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX). 

Acquisitions 

Since relisting on ASX the Company has focused on building its traffic management businesses across Australia, including 
Smart Traffic Lights, traffic control, roadside crash barriers and traffic signs.  Since January 2005, the Company has 
announced a number of acquisitions of traffic management businesses, including Traffic Management Solutions Pty Ltd 
(Geelong) in April 2005 and Ace Traffic Management Pty Ltd (Adelaide) in July 2005.  In June 2005 the Company 
announced that it had acquired a 10% strategic investment in Perth-based Warp Pty Ltd.  In July 2005 the Company also 
announced the acquisitions of Able Traffic Management Pty Ltd (Melbourne) and traffic signs manufacturer, De Neefe Pty 
Ltd.

Review and results of operations (continued) 

Financial performance 

The results for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 are not comparable with the previous financial year.  Total revenue for 
the financial year ended 30 June 2005 was $19.3m, compared to $0.1m in the financial year ended 30 June 2004.   

In August 2004 the Company acquired Traffic Services Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (TSA).  TSA is one of Australia's largest 
traffic management companies, providing temporary traffic management services to road traffic authorities and construction 
companies. 

Following  re-quotation  of  the  Company’s  securities  on  ASX  in  January  2005,  the  Company  acquired  Traffic  Management 
Solutions Pty Ltd (TMS) in April 2005.  TMS is the dominant traffic management business in the Geelong area. 

Total costs for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 were $20.2m, including direct costs of $14.3m.  Costs incurred in the 
financial year ended 30 June 2004 of $0.5m largely comprised administrative costs incurred in connection with restructuring 
the Company as a provider of traffic management systems and ensuring that the Company complied  with ASX and ASIC 
requirements in the period prior to re-quotation of its securities on ASX in January 2005. 

Costs of developing the Company’s Smart Traffic Light system have been capitalised and amortised where future benefits 
are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to exceed those costs. 

Financial position 

Consolidated net assets as at 30 June 2005 was $5.4m, compared to net assets of $30,677 as at 30 June 2004.  Net assets 
included  $4.2m  of  receivables,  $3.3m  of  plant  and  equipment  and  $5.2m  of  intangible  assets,  comprising  goodwill  and 
capitalised research and development expenditure.  The Company had $5.4m of interest-bearing liabilities at 30 June 2005 
(2004: $Nil). 

Cash flows 

During the year ended 30 June 2005 the Company had net operating cash outflows of $0.2m.  Consolidated cash as at 30 
June 2005 was $1.0m. 

The Company  has a bank  facility,  hire purchase arrangements  and access to $3.6m of  debtor factoring facilities of  which 
$2.9m  had  been  drawn  as  at  30  June  2005.    The  Company  has  also  drawn  down  a  $1.0m  third-party  loan  to  finance 
acquisitions. 

Since relisting on the ASX in January 2005 the Company has focused on building its traffic management businesses across 
Australia, including Smart Traffic Lights, traffic control, roadside crash barriers and traffic signs.  During the March quarter, 
the Company paid the final instalment of $0.3m due under the share sale agreement for Traffic Services Australia Holdings 
Pty Ltd (TSA), the final instalment of $1.85m due under the administrator agreement for TSA and certain acquisition costs 
associated with TSA.  During the March quarter the Company also paid capital raising costs in connection with the relisting 
of  its  shares  on  ASX  and  certain  related  party  debt  to  entities  associated  with  Directors,  Mr.  Con  Scrinis  and  Mr.  Con 
Liosatos, and accrued Directors’ fees. 

Outlook for the next twelve months 

The  Company  is  currently  in  the  process  of  completing  and  integrating  a  number  of  acquisitions  that  it  expects  will 
significantly enhance the Company’s operations.  However, the Board is not yet in a position to give an accurate forecast of 
revenue and profitability for the financial year ending 30 June 2006.  Through the acquisition of Traffic Services Australia in 
August  2004  and  the  subsequent  acquisition  of  Traffic  Management  Services  in  Geelong,  Ace  in  Adelaide,  Able  in 
Melbourne  and  10%  of  the  Warp  Group  in  WA,  the  Company  now  has  a  national  traffic  management  business  with 
annualised  revenue  of  approximately  $30m.    This  coupled  with  the  acquisition  of  De  Neefe  Signs,  the  largest  traffic  sign 
manufacturer in Australia, the company’s LED traffic light and the BarrierGuard 800 barrier system, is expected to create a 
group  with  revenues  of  approximately  $60m  and  with  further  acquisitions  currently  being  contemplated  we  expect 
annualised revenues to exceed $100m by late 2006.

RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Board  has adopted a proactive  approach to risk  management.  The Board is responsible  for ensuring  that risks,  and 
also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Company’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks 
and opportunities identified by the Board. 

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this process and, as such, the Board has not 
established a separate risk management committee.

REMUNERATION REPORT 

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of the Company. 

Remuneration objective 

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives.  To be successful, the Company 
must  attract,  motivate  and  retain  highly  skilled  Directors  and  executives.    To  this  end,  the  Company  seeks  to  provide 
competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives. 

Remuneration committee 

The  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements  for  the  Directors, 
the Joint Managing Directors and the executive team.  The Remuneration Committee comprises all Board members, which 
includes  a  majority  of  independent  Directors,  and  is  chaired  by  Mr.  Samuel  Kavourakis,  who  is  an  independent  Director.  
The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a 
periodic  basis  by  reference  to  relevant  employment  market  conditions  with  the  overall  objective  of  ensuring  maximum 
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.   

Remuneration structure 

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration 
is separate and distinct. 

Non-executive Director remuneration 

The Company’s constitution provides that the Directors are paid for their services as Directors such fees as the Directors 
determine  not  exceeding  in  aggregate  a  maximum  sum  that  is  from  time  to  time  approved  by  the  Members  in  a  general 
meeting.    The  notice  convening  a  general  meeting  at  which  it  is  proposed  to  seek  approval  to  increase  that  maximum 
aggregate  sum  must  specify  the  proposed  new  maximum  aggregate  sum  and  the  amount  of  the  proposed  increase.  
Aggregate non-executive Directors’ remuneration is currently $124,500.  In addition, shareholders approved the issue of a 
total of 1,700,000 options to the non-executive Directors on 30 January 2004.  These options, which vested immediately and 
have  a  five  year  term,  are  exercisable  at  20  cents  per  share.    The  issue  of  these  options  was  not  based  on  Company 
performance.

Senior manager and executive Director remuneration 

Objective 

The  Company  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  commensurate  with  their  position  and 
responsibilities within the Company so as to: 

•  Reward executives for Company and individual performance; 
•  Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; 
• 
•  Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and 

Structure 

Currently  remuneration  is  paid  in  the  form  of  cash  remuneration,  superannuation  contributions  and  share  options  where 
applicable.    The  Company  paid  no  bonuses  during  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2005.    Further  details  of  the 
remuneration of Directors and executives are provided in Note 22 to the financial statements. 

Share options 

All Directors and executives have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Company Share Option Plan.  The issue 
of options under this plan is at the discretion of the Board and is not currently based on Company performance.  Options are 
used by the Company as a non-cash form of remuneration and have the objective of aligning employee interests with the 
objective  of  increasing  shareholder  wealth.    Any  issue  of  options  under  the  plan  to  Directors  is  subject  to  shareholder 
approval.  Details regarding the issue of share options under the Company Share Option Plan during the year are provided 
in Note 22 to the financial statements. 

Non-executive Director agreements  

The  non-executive  Directors  have  entered  into  non-executive  Director  agreements  with  the  Company.  The  non-executive 
Director agreements entrench a Director's rights to be indemnified by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by law; 
require the Company to take out an appropriate Directors' and officers' insurance policy to protect the Director from liability 
(to the extent permitted by law); and access the books and records of the Company, which relate to the period the Director 
acted  as  a  Director  of  the  Company.    After  resignation  as  a  Director,  the  Director  can  only  use  this  information  for  the 
purposes of defending a claim. 

Executive Service and Management Agreements 

Traffic  Technologies  has  entered  into  executive  service  agreements  with  Mr.  Constantine  Scrinis  and  Mr.  Constantinos 
Liosatos.    Under  the  agreements,  Mr.  Scrinis  agreed  to  act  as  Joint  Managing  Director  of  Traffic  Technologies  and  Mr. 
Liosatos  agreed  to act  as Joint  Managing  Director of  Traffic Technologies for  a total remuneration of  $75,000  per  annum 
each increasing to $200,000 per annum from 1 January 2005, with a review in June 2006.  Under the agreements there is 
no additional obligation of the Company to pay superannuation contributions.  On 30 January 2004 shareholders approved 
the  issue  of  300,000  options  each  to  Mr.  Scrinis  and  Mr.  Liosatos.    The  agreements  are  for  a  term  of  two  years  from  1

REMUNERATION REPORT (Continued) 

Options 

In the financial year ended 30 June 2005 the Company granted a total of 600,000 options to executives of the Company to 
purchase  shares  expiring  on  30  January  2009,  of  which  500,000  options  have  an  exercise  price  at  $0.20  (20  cents)  per 
share  and  100,000  options  have  an  exercise  price  at  $0.25  (25  cents)  per  share.    Options  granted  as  remuneration  are 
valued at grant date in accordance  with AASB 2 Share-based Payments.  No options previously granted as remuneration 
have lapsed or been exercised during the year. 

In  addition,  500,000  options  were  issued  to  third  party  financiers  on  7  January  2005  in  part  consideration  of  convertible 
loans made to the Company.  These options have an exercise price at $0.20 (20 cents) per share and expire on 12 January 
2006. 

Fair value of options 

The  fair  value  of  each  option  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  with  the 
following weighted average assumptions used: 

Dividend yield 
Expected volatility 
Historical volatility 
Risk-free interest rate 
Expected life of options – 500,000 (third party financiers) 
Expected life of options – 600,000 (executives)

$Nil

The dividend yield reflects the assumption that no dividends will be paid by the Company for the foreseeable future.  The 
expected  life  of the  options  is  based on  the  term of  the  options  and  is  not necessarily  indicative  of exercise  patterns  that 
may  occur.   The  expected volatility  reflects the  assumption  that  the  historical  volatility  is  indicative  of  future  trends, which 
may not necessarily be the actual outcome. 

All options issued to date have vested.  Currently the fair values of options are not recognised as expenses in the financial 
statements.  On first time adoption of the Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards, the Company 
will  be  required  to  recognise  the  fair  value  of  options  issued  as  remuneration  as  an  expense  in  the  Statement  of  Financial 
Performance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  Traffic  Technologies  Limited  is  responsible  for  the  corporate  governance  of  the  consolidated 
entity. 

The Board of Directors has implemented the Best Practice Recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council to 
the extent appropriate for the size and nature of the Company’s business as described below.  The format of the Corporate 
Governance Statement now follows  the ASX Corporate Governance  Council’s “Principles of Good Corporate Governance 
and Best  Practice  Recommendations”.   The  Corporate  Governance Statement  must  now  contain  specific  information  and 
also  report  on  the  Company’s  adoption  of  the  Council’s  best  practice  recommendations  on  an  exception  basis,  whereby 
disclosure is required of any recommendations that have not been adopted by the Company, together with the reasons why 
they have not been adopted. 

The  Board  has  established  a  Corporate  Governance  Committee,  which  is  responsible  for  reviewing  the  Company’s 
compliance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance  requirements,  including  compliance  with  the  ASX  Corporate 
Governance  Council’s  “Principles  of  Good  Corporate  Governance  and  Best  Practice  Recommendations”.    The  Corporate 
Governance Committee comprises all Board members and is chaired by Mr. Samuel Kavourakis.  For details of meetings of 
the  Corporate  Governance  Committee  held  during  the  year  and  the  attendees  at  those  meetings,  refer  to  the  Directors’ 
report.  The Company’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 2005. 

Principle 1:  Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

The  Board  has  been  structured  to  ensure  that  an  appropriate  mix  of  experience  and  expertise  is  available  to  provide 
strategic guidance for the Company and effective oversight of management. 

Since  re-listing  on  ASX  in  January  2005  the  Company  has  announced  a  number  of  acquisitions  that  it  is  currently  in  the 
process of completing and integrating.  Whilst the Company has laid down a system of corporate governance to comply with 
ASX  Recommendations,  the  Company  expects  to  develop  its  corporate  governance  procedures  and  internal  control 
systems further as its business develops. 

The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are 
elected and to  whom they  are  accountable. The  Board  acts  on  behalf of and is  accountable  to  shareholders.   The Board 
seeks to identify the expectations of shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations.  In 
addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to 
adequately manage those risks. The Board guides and monitors and fulfils its responsibility to protect shareholder interests 
and enhance shareholder value by: 

•  Approving and periodically reviewing the business and financial objectives and strategies and plans of the consolidated 

entity; 

•  Monitoring the financial performance of the consolidated entity, including approval of the consolidated entity’s financial 

statements; 

•  Ensuring  that  adequate  internal  control  systems  and  procedures  exist  and  that  compliance  with  these  systems  and 

• 

procedures is maintained; 
Identifying  areas  of  significant  business  or  financial  risk  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  ensuring  management  takes 
appropriate action to manage those risks; 

•  Reviewing the performance and remuneration of Board members and key members of staff; 
•  Monitoring the operations of the consolidated entity and the performance of management; 
•  Establishing and maintaining appropriate ethical standards; and 
•  Reporting  to  the  shareholders,  the  Australian  Securities  and  Investments  Commission  and  the  Australian  Stock 

Exchange as required. 

The  Board  delegates  to  the  Joint  Managing  Directors  and  the  executive  team  responsibility  for  the  operation  and 
administration of the consolidated entity. 

Principle 2: 

Structure the Board to add value 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  Company  that  the  composition  of  the  Board  will  be  determined  having  regard  to  the  following 
concepts: 

• 
• 

• 
• 

That the Board will comprise a majority of Non-Executive Directors; 
That  the  Board  will  comprise  a  minimum  of  five  Directors  and  the  actual  number  may  be  higher  where  additional 
expertise is required in specific areas and an outstanding candidate is located; 
That the Chairman of the Board will be a Non-Executive Director; and 
That the Board members should represent a broad range of expertise and experience.

The Directors in office and the term in office of each Director at the date of this report are as follows:

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position held by each Director in office at the date of the annual report is 
included in the Directors’ Report.  Directors are considered to be independent when they are independent of management, 
are not a substantial shareholder and are free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or 
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. 

In  the  context  of  Director  independence,  “materiality”  is  considered  from  both  the  company  and  individual  Director 
perspective.  The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements.  An item 
is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount.  It is presumed to 
be material (unless there is qualitative to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.  
Qualitative factors considered include where a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature 
of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability 
of the Director in question to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty. 

In accordance with the definition of independence above, three of the five Directors of the Company, as set out above, were 
independent during  the  year  ended  30  June  2005  and  as  at  the  date  of  this  report,  as required  by  Recommendation  2.1.  
The  Company  had  an  independent  chairman  throughout  the  year  ended  30  June  2005,  as  required  by  Recommendation 
2.2, and the roles of Chairman and the Joint Managing Directors were split in accordance with Recommendation 2.3. 

The Company’s constitution provides that a Director other than the Managing Director may not retain office for more than 
three calendar years or beyond the third annual general meeting following his or her election, whichever is longer, without 
submitting  for  re-election.    One  third  of  the  Directors  retire  each  year  and  are  eligible  for  re-election.    The  Directors  who 
retire by rotation at each annual general meeting are those with the longest length of time in office since their appointment 
or last election.  All Directors must be elected by the members.  It is not a requirement for a person who is a Director to own 
shares in the Company.   

Recommendation 2.4 requires listed entities to establish a Nomination Committee.  During the  year ended 30 June 2005, 
the  Company  did  not  have  a  separately  established  Nomination  Committee.    However,  the  duties  and  responsibilities 
typically delegated to such a committee are expressly included in the Board’s own charter as being the responsibility of the 
full Board.  The Board does not believe that any marked efficiencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of 
a separate Nomination Committee. 

The Company provides the capacity for any Director to obtain separate professional advice on any matter being discussed 
by  the  Board  and  for  the  consolidated  entity  to  pay  the  cost  incurred.    Before  the  engagement  is  made,  the  Director  is 
required to obtain the Chairman of the Board's approval.  Approval will not be unreasonably denied and the Director will be 
expected to provide the Board with a copy of that advice. 

Principle 3: 

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making 

All Directors and officers of the Company are required to discharge their responsibilities ethically and with integrity. 

The Board has drawn up a code of conduct to guide Board members, executives and employees in carrying out their duties 
and  responsibilities,  to  guide  compliance  with  legal  and  other  obligations  and  to  maintain  confidence  in  the  Company’s 
integrity,  as  required  by  Recommendations  3.1  and  10.1.    Executives  and  employees  are  encouraged  to  report  to  Board 
members any concerns regarding potentially unethical practices.

Principle 3: 

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making (Continued) 

Dealings  are  not  permitted  in  the  Company’s  securities  at  any  time  when  Directors,  officers  or  employees  are  in  the 
possession  of  price  sensitive  information  not  already  available  to  the  market,  as  required  by  Recommendation  3.2.    In 
addition,  the  Corporations  Act 2001 prohibits the  purchase  or sale  of  securities  whilst a  person  is  in  possession  of  inside 
information and the ASX Listing Rules require disclosure of any trading undertaken by Directors or their related entities in 
the Company’s securities.  The company secretary must be notified of any intended trading and must also be provided with 
confirmation that the trading has occurred. 

Principle 4: 

Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity.  This includes 
internal  controls  to  deal  with  both  the  effectiveness  and  efficiency  of  significant  business  processes,  the  safeguarding  of 
assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial information.  The Board has delegated 
the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control to the Audit Committee. 

With effect from the financial year ended 30 June 2005 Mr. Constantine Scrinis, the Joint Managing Director, and the Chief 
Financial Officer have provided a written statement to the Board that the company’s financial reports present a true and fair 
view of the company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards 
and  that  the  company’s  risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and  control  systems  are  operating  efficiently  and 
effectively, as required by Recommendations 4.1 and 7.2. 

The Board has established an Audit Committee as recommended by Recommendation 4.2, which operates under a charter 
approved by the Board, as required by Recommendation 4.1.  The Audit Committee also provides the Board with additional 
assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  information  for  inclusion  in  the  financial  reports.    Corporate  Governance 
Council Recommendation 4.3 requires that the Audit Committee consists of only non-executive Directors and that a majority 
be independent Directors.  All members of the Board are members of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee is chaired 
by  Mr.  Alan  Brown,  who  is  an  independent  chairman  and  who  is  not  chairman  of  the  Board,  in  accordance  with 
Recommendation  4.3.    Although  none  of  the  Audit  Committee  members  have  formal  accountancy  qualifications,  all  have 
extensive business experience at Board level and in senior management positions.  Audit Committee meetings are attended 
by the partner responsible for the Company’s audit.  For details of meetings of the Audit Committee held during the year and 
the attendees at those meetings, refer to the Directors’ report 

Principle 5: 

Make timely and balanced disclosure 

The  Company  has  established  written  policies  and  procedures  to  ensure  compliance  with  ASX  Listing  Rule  disclosure 
requirements  and  to  ensure  accountability  at  a  senior  management  level  for  that  compliance,  as  required  by 
Recommendation 5.1.  All ASX announcements are handled by Mr. Constantine Scrinis, the Joint Managing Director, and 
there  are  requirements  within  the  Company  to  ensure  that  the  ASX’s  continuous  disclosure  requirements  are  strictly 
followed and that unauthorised disclosure of price sensitive information is not made other than through the ASX’s Company 
Announcements Office. 

Principle 6: 

Respect the rights of shareholders 

The  Board  recognises  its  duty  to  ensure  that  its  shareholders  are  informed  of  all  major  developments  affecting  the 
Company’s  state  of  affairs,  as  required  by  Recommendation  6.1.    Information  is  communicated  to  shareholders  and  the 
market through: 

The Annual Report which is distributed to shareholders;  
The Annual General Meeting and other shareholder meetings called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate; 
The Half-Yearly Financial report; and 

(cid:131) 
(cid:131) 
(cid:131) 
(cid:131)  Other announcements made in accordance with ASX Listing Rules. 

The Company’s reports and ASX announcements may be viewed and downloaded from the ASX website: www.asx.com.au 
(stock code: TTI). 

It is the Company’s policy that the external auditor attends the Annual General Meeting of the Company and is available to 
answer  shareholder  questions  about  the  conduct  of  the  audit  and  the  preparation  and  content  of  the  auditor’s  report,  as 
required by Recommendation 6.2.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 7: 

Recognise and manage risk 

The Board  has adopted a proactive  approach to risk  management.  The Board is responsible  for ensuring  that risks,  and 
also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Company’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks 
and opportunities identified by the Board.  The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this 
process and, as such, the Board has not established a separate risk management committee.  

The Board has established policies on risk  oversight and management,  as required by Recommendation 7.1.  The Board 
has  drawn  up  a  risk  profile  for  the  consolidated  entity,  which  is  regularly  reviewed.    The  executive  Directors  are  closely 
involved  in  the  day-to-day  management  of  the  Company’s  operations  and,  given  the  current  size  of  the  operations  of  the 
consolidated entity, are in a position to continually monitor risk with the assistance of the executive team. 

Principle 8: 

Encourage enhanced performance 

The  performance  of  the  Board  and  key  executives  is  reviewed  regularly  by  the  Board  against  their  contribution  to  the 
performance  of  the  Company,  in  accordance  with  Recommendation  8.1.    Directors  whose  performance  is  consistently 
unsatisfactory may be asked to retire. 

Principle 9: 

Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

It  is  the  Company’s  objective  to  provide  maximum  stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality  Board  and 
executive team by remunerating Directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment 
market  conditions.    To  assist  in  achieving  this  objective,  the  Remuneration  Committee  takes  account  of  the  Company’s 
financial and operating performance in setting the nature and amount of executive Directors’ and executives’ remuneration.  
In  relation  to  the  payment  of  bonuses,  options  or  other  incentive  payments,  discretion  is  exercised  by  the  Remuneration 
Committee,  having  regard  to  the  overall  performance  of  the  Company  and  the  performance  of  the  individual  during  the 
period. 

The  Board  has  established  a  Remuneration  Committee  in  accordance  with  Recommendation  9.2.    The  Remuneration 
Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the Directors, the Joint  Managing 
Directors and the executive team.  The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall 
objective  of  ensuring  maximum  stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality  Board  and  executive  team.  The 
Remuneration Committee comprises all Board members, which includes a majority of independent Directors, and is chaired 
by Mr. Samuel Kavourakis, who is an independent Director.  For details of meetings of the Remuneration Committee held 
during the year and the attendees at those meetings, refer to the Directors’ report. 

Non-executive directors are paid Directors’ fees.  However, all Directors and executives have the opportunity to qualify for 
participation  in  the  Company  Share  Option  Plan,  including  non-executive  Directors,  which  represents  a  departure  from 
Recommendation 9.3, which recommends that non-executive Directors should not receive options.  The payment of part of 
the remuneration of non-executive Directors in a non-cash form preserves cash for use in the business.  In common with 
other  smaller-cap  listed  companies  the  Company  believes  that  it  must  pay  its  non-executive  Directors  adequate 
remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  and  options  in  order  to  attract  and  retain  non-executive  Directors  of  appropriate 
qualifications and experience. 

The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are: 

•  Retention and motivation of key executives. 
•  Attraction of quality management to the Company. 
•  Performance incentives that allow executives to share the rewards of the success of the Company. 

Further details of the Company’s remuneration policy, including details of the amount of remuneration and all monetary and 
non-monetary components for each of the highest paid (non-Director) executives during the year and for all Directors, are 
set out in the Remuneration Report forming part of the Directors’ Report, in accordance with Recommendation 9.1.  There is 
no  scheme  to  provide  retirement  benefits,  other  than  statutory  superannuation,  to  non-executive  Directors.    Shareholder 
approval is required for all equity-based remuneration payable to Board members, in accordance with Recommendation 9.4. 

Principle 10: 

Recognise the legitimate interests of stakeholders 

The Board recognises that the Company has wide ranging obligations to a broad range of stakeholders and must comply 
with legal requirements such as trade practices, equal opportunity and occupational health and safety issues. 

The  Company’s  corporate  governance  practices  have  been  in  place  throughout  the  year  ended  30  June  2005.    With  the 
exception  of  the  departures  from  the  Corporate  Governance  Council  recommendations  detailed  above,  the  corporate 
governance practices of the Company are compliant with the Council’s best practice recommendations.

TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)   Basis of accounting 

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of 
the  Corporations  Act  2001  including  applicable  Accounting  Standards.    Other  mandatory  professional  reporting 
requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views) have also been complied with. 

The  financial  report  covers  the  consolidated  entity  of  Traffic  Technologies  Limited  and  controlled  entities,  and  Traffic 
Technologies  Limited  as  an  individual  parent  entity.  Traffic  Technologies  Limited  is  a  public  company,  incorporated  and 
domiciled in Australia, whose securities are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. 

The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention and, except where stated, does not 
take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets.  Cost is based on the fair values of the 
consideration given in exchange for assets. 

(b) 

Significant accounting policies 

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. 
The accounting policies have been consistently applied with those of the previous year. 

(c) 

Going concern basis of accounting 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The consolidated entity incurred a loss for the year 
ended 30 June 2005.  The operations of the consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2005 were funded out of 
revenues, the proceeds of share issues and Hire Purchase and loan facilities provided by third parties.  Since relisting on 
ASX in January 2005, the Company has announced a number of acquisitions of traffic management and related businesses.  
The Company has also recently announced an $8m capital raising via a placement to Institutional Investor, Equity Partners, 
which is subject to shareholder approval, a $1.4m placement to sophisticated investors and a share purchase plan to 
existing eligible shareholders.  In view of the circumstances outlined above, the Directors are of the opinion that the 
consolidated entity will have sufficient funding and that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. 

(d) 

Principles of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  those  of  the  consolidated  entity,  comprising  Traffic  Technologies  Limited  (the 
parent entity) and all entities that Traffic Technologies Limited controlled from time to time during the year and at balance 
date. 

Information from the financial statements of subsidiaries is included from the date the parent company obtains control until 
such time as control ceases. Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the 
results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent company has control. 

The  financial  statements  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  entity  using  consistent  accounting 
policies.  Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. 

All  intercompany  balances  and  transactions,  including  unrealised  profits  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  have  been

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(e) 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the 
revenue can be reliably measured.  The following specific criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 

Sale of Goods 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. 

Sale of services 

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. 

Interest revenue 

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. 

(f) 

Taxes 

Income Tax 

The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the 
profit from ordinary activities adjusted for any permanent differences. 

Timing differences, which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included 
in  the  determination  of  accounting  profit  and  taxable  income,  are  brought  to  account  as  either  a  provision  for  deferred 
income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be 
received or the liability will become payable. 

Future  income  tax  benefits  are  not  brought  to  account  unless  realisation  of  the  asset  is  assured  beyond  any  reasonable 
doubt.    Future  income  tax  benefits  in  relation  to  tax  losses  are  not  brought  to  account  unless  there  is  virtual  certainty  of 
realisation of the benefit. 

The  amount  of  benefits  brought  to  account  or  which  may  be  realised  in  the  future  is  based  on  the  assumption  that  no 
adverse  change  will  occur  in  income  tax  legislation  and  the  anticipation  that  the  consolidated  entity  will  derive  sufficient 
future assessable income and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

Under AASB 112 Income Taxes, the consolidated entity will be required to use a balance sheet liability method that focuses on 
the tax effects of transactions and other events that affect amounts recognised in either the Statement of Financial Position or a 
tax-based balance sheet.  It is not expected that there will be a material impact as a result of adoption of this standard. 

Goods and Services Tax 

All revenue and expenses are stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

 (g)  Recoverable amounts 

The carrying amounts of non-current assets do not exceed the net amounts that are expected to be recovered through the 
cash inflows and outflows arising from continued use and subsequent disposal of the asset.  The expected net cash flows 
included in determining the recoverable amounts have not been discounted to their present value. 

Where a group of assets work together to generate net cash inflows the recoverable amount test is applied to that group of 
assets. 

Under  AASB 136 Impairment of Assets the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of net selling price 
and value in use.  This will result in a change in the group’s current accounting policy under which non-current assets are 
written  down  to  recoverable  amount  where  the  carrying  value  of  any  non-current  asset  exceeds  the  recoverable  amount.  
Under the new policy it is likely that impairment of assets will be recognised sooner and that the amount of write-downs will 
be greater.  This policy will be impacted on first time adoption of Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS).  Refer to Note 26. 

(h) 

Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis and 
include direct materials and direct labour. 

(i) 

Receivables 

Trade accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and other receivables represent the principal amounts due at 
balance date plus accrued interest less, where applicable, any unearned income and provisions for doubtful accounts. 

(j) 

Plant and equipment 

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. 

(k) 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives to the economic entity 
commencing from the time the assets are held ready for use.   

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset

Plant and equipment, including signage 

10-25% 
12.5%

 (l) 

Intangibles 

Goodwill 

Goodwill on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership 
interest  in  a  controlled  entity  exceeds  the  fair  value  attributed  to  its  net  assets  at  date  of  acquisition.    Goodwill  on 
consolidation  is  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  a  period  of  10  years.    Balances  are  reviewed  annually  and  any 
balances representing future benefits for which realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off. 

Under AASB  3 Business  Combinations  goodwill  will  no  longer  be  able  to  be  amortised  but  instead  will  be subject  to  annual 
impairment testing.  This will result in a change in the group’s current accounting policy under which goodwill is amortised on 
a straight-line basis over 10 years.  Under the new policy, amortisation will no longer be charged, but goodwill will be written 
down to the extent it is impaired.  This policy will be impacted on first time adoption of Australian equivalents of International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  Refer to Note 26. 

Patents and trademarks 

Patents and trademarks are initially recorded at cost.  Patents and trademarks are amortised on a straight-line basis over a 
period of 10 years.  Balances are reviewed annually and any balances representing future benefits for which realisation is 
considered to be no longer probable are written off. 

Research and development costs 

Research  and  development  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred,  except  where  future  benefits  are  expected,  beyond  any 
reasonable  doubt,  to  exceed those costs.  Where research and  development  costs  are  deferred  such  costs  are  amortised 
over a period of 10 years. Unamortised costs are reviewed at each balance date to determine the amount, if any, that is no 
longer recoverable and any amounts identified are written off. 

(m) 

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions during the period are converted to Australian currency at the rates of exchange applicable at 
the dates of the transactions.  Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are converted to the 
rates of exchange ruling at that date. 

The  gains  and  losses  from  conversion  of  short-term  assets  and  liabilities,  whether  realised  or  unrealised,  are  included  in 
profit/loss from ordinary activities as they arise. 

(n) 

Accounts payable 

Accounts payable represent the principal amounts outstanding at balance date plus, where applicable, any accrued interest. 

(o) 

Employee benefits 

The following liabilities arising in respect of employee benefits are measured at their nominal amounts: 

•  Wages and salaries and annual leave regardless of whether they are expected to be settled within twelve months of 

balance date. 

•  Other employee benefits that are expected to be settled within twelve months of balance date. 

All other employee benefits,  including long  service leave, are measured at the present  value of  the estimated future cash 
outflows  in  respect  of  services  provided  up  to  balance  date.    Liabilities  are  determined  after  taking  into  consideration 
estimated  future  increase  in  wages  and  salaries  and  past  experience  regarding  staff  departures.    Related  on-costs  are 
included. 

Under  AASB  2  Share  Based  Payments,  the  Company  will  be  required  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  options  issued  to 
employees as remuneration and recognise an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance.  Effects of this change in 
accounting policy are set out in Note 26 below.

(p) 

Leases 

Leases  are  classified  at  their  inception  as  either  finance  or  operating  leases  based  on  the  economic  substance  of  the 
agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. 

Operating leases 

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as 
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 

(q) 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members divided by the weighted 
average  number  of  ordinary  shares  and  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares,  adjusted  for  any  non-discretionary  changes  in 
revenues during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares. 

(r) 

Comparative figures 

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned to conform to changes in presentation for the 
current financial year. 

(s) 

Financial instruments 

Debt and equity instruments 

Debt  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  as  either  liabilities  or  as  equity  in  accordance  with  the  substance  of  the 
contractual arrangement. 

Interest and dividends 

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the classification of the related 
debt or equity instruments in the statement of financial position.

The  parent  entity  acquired  its  interest  in  Traffic  Technology  International  Pty  Ltd  in  January  2004  for  a  consideration  of 
$500,000.  Traffic Technology International Pty Ltd is engaged in the development and commercialisation of a Smart Traffic 
Light product based on LED (light emitting diode) technology. 

The parent entity acquired its interest in Traffic Services Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (TSA) in August 2004.  TSA is one of 
Australia's  largest  traffic  management  companies,  providing  temporary  traffic  management  services  to  road  traffic 
authorities  and  construction  companies.  TSA  is  based  in  Brisbane  and  has  operations  in  Sydney,  Cairns  and  on  the 
Sunshine and Gold Coasts. 

The Directors review the carrying value of the parent entity's investment in its subsidiary entities on an ongoing basis.  As at 
the date of this report the Directors have determined that the carrying values should be maintained at cost.

Debt  repaid  to  Moonlighting  Australasia  Pty  Ltd  (associated  with  Mr.  Con  Scrinis  &  Mr.  Con  Liosatos)  $658,600  included 
$75,000 advanced since 30 June 2004. 

Part of the cost of the acquisition of Traffic Management Solutions Pty Ltd was paid for out of a loan taken out by the Company

Part of the cost of the acquisition of TSA was funded out of loans subsequently converted to equity in January 2005. 

(f)  Non-cash Financing and Investing Activities 
During the year the economic entity acquired plant and equipment with an aggregate value of $891,222 by means of finance 
leases.  These acquisitions are not reflected in the statement of cash flows. 

18. EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS 

On 30 January 2004 shareholders approved a new Company Share Option Plan for Directors, employees and contractors of 
the Company  under which the Board can issue options at no cash consideration to purchase fully paid ordinary shares in 
the Company on the basis of one option for one share at an exercise price to be determined by the Board at the time the 
options are issued.  Options will be exercisable from the time of issue and will lapse on the fifth anniversary of the date of 
grant if they have not been exercised before that time.  Options can be issued up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share 
capital of the Company.  The options cannot be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX. 

Eligible persons under the Company Share Option Plan are Directors, employees and contractors of the Company.  If the 
Directorship,  employment  or  contract  of  the  participant  terminates,  the  participant  may,  within  28  days  after  the  date  of 
termination, exercise all or part of those of the participant’s options, which the participant is then entitled to exercise.  Any 
option not exercised within that 28-day period will lapse.

Remuneration of Specified Directors and Specified Executives 

(i) Remuneration Policy 

The  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements  for  the  Directors, 
the Joint Managing Directors and the executive team.  The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the 
nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  of  such  officers  on  a  periodic  basis  by  reference  to  relevant  employment  market 
conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and 
executive team.  Currently remuneration is paid in the form of cash remuneration, superannuation contributions and share 
options where applicable.  The Company paid no bonuses during the financial year ended 30 June 2005. 

All Directors and executives have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Company Share Option Plan. The issue of 
options under this plan is at the discretion of the Board and is not currently based on Company performance.  Options are 
used by the Company as a non-cash form of remuneration and have the objective of aligning employee interests with the 
objective of increasing shareholder wealth.  Any issue of options under the plan to Directors would be subject to shareholder 
approval.

Fair value of options 

The  fair  value  of  each  option  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  with  the 
following weighted average assumptions used: 

Dividend yield 
Expected volatility 
Historical volatility 
Risk-free interest rate 
Expected life of option 

2005 
$Nil 
78% 
78% 
5.50% 
3.75 years 

2004 
$Nil 
45%  
45% 
5.715% 
5.0 years 

The dividend yield reflects the assumption that no dividends will be paid by the Company for the foreseeable future.  The 
expected  life  of the  options  is  based on  the  term of  the  options  and  is  not necessarily  indicative  of exercise  patterns  that 
may  occur.   The  expected volatility  reflects the  assumption  that  the  historical  volatility  is  indicative  of  future  trends, which 
may not necessarily be the actual outcome. 

All options issued to date have vested. Currently the fair values of options are not recognised as expenses in the financial 
statements.

Credit Risk 

Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counter-party  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  the  policy  of  only  dealing  with  creditworthy  counter-parties  and 
obtaining  sufficient  “collateral”  or  other  security,  where  appropriate,  as  a  means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of  financial  loss  from 
default.  The consolidated entity measures risk on a fair value basis.  The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the 
financial  statements,  net  of  any  provision  for  losses,  represents  the  consolidated  entity’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk, 
without  taking  account  of  the  value  of  any  collateral  or  other  security  obtained.  The  consolidated  entity  had  no  significant 
concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. 

(d) 

Net Fair Value 

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represents their respective 
net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 of the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 

26. IMPACT OF ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENTS OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

(AIFRS) 

The Company has evaluated the key differences in accounting policies that are expected to arise from adopting AIFRS’s, which 
will be applicable for the financial year ending 30 June 2006.  The Company has, in consultation with its professional advisers, 
performed an assessment to identify key areas that will be impacted by the transition to IFRS.  Priority has been given to the 
preparation of an opening balance sheet in accordance with AIFRS as at 1 July 2004, the Company’s transition date to AIFRS.  
This will form the basis of accounting for AIFRS in the future and is required when the Company prepares its first fully AIFRS 
compliant financial report for the year ending 30 June 2006. 

Set out below are the key areas where accounting policies are expected to change on adoption of AIFRS and the Company’s 
best estimate of the quantitative impact of the changes in total equity as at the date of transition and 30 June 2005 and on net 
loss for the year ended 30 June 2005. 

The figures disclosed are management’s best estimates of the quantitative impact of the changes as at the date of preparing 
the  30  June  2005  financial  report.    The  actual  effects  of  transition  to  AIFRS  may  differ  from  the  estimates  disclosed  due  to 
ongoing  work  being  undertaken  to  assess  the  impact  of  AIFRS  on  the  Company,  potential  amendments  to  AIFRS’s  and 
Interpretations thereof being issued by the standard-setters and IFRIC and emerging accepted practice in the interpretation and 
application of AIFRS and UIG Interpretations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 

26. IMPACT OF ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENTS OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

(AIFRS) (Continued) 

(d) 

Notes on reconciliation of equity as presented under AGAAP to that under AIFRS 

(i)    Classification  of  financial  instruments  -  Under  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement,  financial 
instruments will be required to be classified into one of five categories that will, in turn, determine the accounting treatment of 
the item.  This will result in a change in the current accounting policy that does not classify financial instruments.  The future 
financial effect of this change in accounting policy is not yet known as the classification and measurement process has not yet 
been completed. 

(ii)  Goodwill - Under AASB 3 Business Combinations goodwill will no longer be able to be amortised but instead will be subject 
to annual impairment testing.  This  will result in  a  change in  the group’s  current  accounting  policy  under  which  goodwill is 
amortised on a straight-line basis over 10 years.  Under the new policy, amortisation will no longer be charged, but goodwill 
will be written down to the extent it is impaired.  The directors believe there was no material impairment of goodwill at 1 July 
2004 and 30 June 2005. 

(iii)  Impairment of assets - Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the 
higher of net selling price and value in use.  This will result in a change in the group’s current accounting policy under which 
non-current assets are written down to recoverable amount where the carrying value of any non-current asset exceeds the 
recoverable  amount.    Under  the  new  policy  it  is  likely  that  impairment  of  assets  will  be  recognised  sooner  and  that  the 
amount of write-downs will be greater. The directors believe there was no material impairment of assets at 1 July 2004 and 
30 June 2005. 

(iv)  Share based payments - Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Company will be required to determine the fair value 
of  options  issued  to  employees  as  remuneration  and  recognise  an  expense  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Performance.  
Quantifying the effect of  this  change in accounting  policy is impracticable  as  the details of  future equity based  remuneration 
plans are unknown. 

(v)    Income  taxes  -  Under AASB  112  Income  Taxes,  the  consolidated  entity  will  be  required  to  use a  balance  sheet  liability 
method that focuses on the tax effects of transactions and other events that affect amounts recognised in either the Statement 
of Financial Position or a tax-based balance sheet.  It is not expected that there will be a material impact as a result of adoption 
of this standard.

TO THE MEMBERS OF 
TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 

Scope 

We have audited the financial report of Traffic Technologies Limited and controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 
June 2005 comprising the Directors' Declaration, Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Financial Position, 
Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements. 

The company's directors are responsible for the financial report.  We have conducted an independent audit of this financial 
report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the company.  

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether 
the financial report is free of material misstatement.  Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence 
supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant
