From humble, family-company beginnings, VEEM has expanded to be an internationally- recognised manufacturer of marine gyrostabilizer and propulsion systems. The VEEM team has steadily built a solid, stable company, based on a strong work ethic and commitment to our art. We invest significantly in organisational knowledge and have fostered a healthy culture, which values enterprise and focus upon customer needs. The stability of our organisation is reflected in the stability of our team – 28% of our personnel have been part of the VEEM journey for longer than 10 years; 14% longer than 15 and an impressive 8% longer than 20 years. Many of our employees are now also shareholders of our company. Our company has an extensive history of not only creating significant profits but also in retaining those profits to be applied to the development of world- leading manufacturing technologies and new, high- technology products. Prime examples of this can be found in our patented, robotic propeller manufacturing and our revolutionary, high-capacity marine gyrostabilizer systems. This philosophy of creating sufficient profits to internally fund the development of our key technologies and products is a cornerstone of our stable growth strategy. It brings me great pleasure to be the Chairman of a company which has been involved in some of the most significant engineering projects of our time, including the construction of the largest machine ever made by humans: the Large Hadron Collider. VEEM manufactured the radiation shield components for the Atlas Detector, which is, to date, the largest-volume particle detector ever constructed and using which, the existence of the Higgs boson particle was confirmed.. 2018 HIGHLIGHTS After we demonstrated the technical veracity of our new, large-capacity marine gyrostabilizers; the next step was to secure commercial acceptance. As previously announced, such approval was achieved this year from the superyacht, commercial offshore and defence sectors. Europe’s most prestigious names in superyachts placed new orders for our gyrostabilizers: French superyacht builder Couach Shipyards and 3 Dutch, leading boat builders: Feadship Royal De Vries, Royal Huisman and Talsma Shipyard. As testament to the acceptance of our product, superyacht builder Large Hadron Collider – The largest machine in the world. A man stands in the Atlas Detector, which sits in a cavern 100 m below ground near the main CERN site, close to the village of Meyrin in Switzerland. VEEM supplied the radiation shield components. 4 | V E E M LT D C H A I R M A N ' S L E T T E R Van Der Valk Shipyard has placed their 3rd repeat order. Couach (Fr) and Westport (USA) have requested quotes for their next supply and Feadship and Royal Huisman have placed orders with multiple unit installations. Europe’s second-largest shipbuilder, Damen, confirmed successful sea trial results utilising VEEM gyrostabilizers on board a Damen Fast Crew Supplier vessel. Damen has developed a similar vessel capable of travelling at 45 knots through 2.5 m seas, designed to replace the more expensive and riskier practice of helicopter transfers. VEEM’s gyrostabilizer technology is key to extending the operating envelope of this ‘Walk to Work’ philosophy. Damen’s portfolio includes significant work in building defence vessels and is a prospective client for VEEM’s advanced marine propulsion systems. In the defence sector, Friere Shipyards in Spain has ordered one of our gyrostabilizer systems, to be installed in a 42 m Fisheries Patrol vessel, destined for the Kuwait Government. The number of vessels of this class to be built has not yet been announced. Technical Committee. Mr Torre brings considerable public company and board governance experience. In July 2018, Mr Mike Bailey joined our Board. Mr Bailey holds a Bachelor of Science with first class Honours and a Master’s Degree in Naval Architecture. He is a Chartered Engineer (UK), Member of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and a former Member of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors (1968-78). Mr Bailey is well known and respected within the marine and defence sectors and brings more than 30 years’ experience in contract negotiation and project management. Finally, I would like to acknowledge that our company strength is our people – it is the dedication, commitment and focus of our team working together which brings success. A particular note of thanks to those team members who have spent extended time away from home for business travels on our behalf. I know from personal experience that this can be difficult on families, especially those with young children. Thank you to those staff and their families.

FULLY PAID ORDINARY SHARES Directors John Bradley Miocevich Mark David Miocevich (i) (i) Ian Henry Barsden Peter Patrick Torre Michael Robert Bailey Number 80,000,000 80,000,000 50,000 60,000 - (i) Mr Brad Miocevich and Mr Mark Miocevich have a relevant interest in VEEM Corporation Pty Ltd ATF the Miocevich Family Trust which holds 80,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. SHARES UNDER OPTION OR ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS At the date of this report there were no unissued ordinary shares or interests of the Company under option. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Company during the course of the year were: • Production of propulsion and stabilization systems; and • Manufacturing bespoke products and services for the marine, defence and mining industries. OVERVIEW The financial results of the Company for the 2018 financial year demonstrate another consistent performance from the Company’s operations. The results are underpinned by the Company’s core engineering services which will provide a consistent base for the years to come. The most pleasing outcome of the financial year, whilst not yet reflected in the Company’s financial performance, was the acceptance of the Company’s Gyrostabilizers by some of the World’s leading shipyards. This acceptance followed a strong marketing push throughout the year, with the relocation of the VEEM Viking vessel to Europe, to allow the representatives of the leading shipyards to see first-hand the VEEM Gyrostabilizer at work. The costs of this exercise were borne in this financial year, and the benefits will flow in the years to come. Dr Michael Andrewartha, VEEM’s Principal Engineer for Gyro Development inspects the VG260SD Gyro during the Damen Sea Trials in Rotterdam 8 | V E E M LT D The vindication of the performance of the VEEM Gyros by Damen Shipyards as announced immediately following the year end, sets the turning point in the drive to establish VEEM Gyros as the dominate player in the gyro stabilization market. This followed with news of VEEM Gyro orders by the world’s leading super yacht builders. These, along with further marketing efforts will see sales on VEEM Gyros significantly lift in the 2019 financial year and into the future. CORPORATE The Company’s governance framework was bolstered during and immediately following the year end with the appointment of two independent non-executive directors to the Board of the Company. Mr Peter Torre, who was acting as the joint company secretary since the time of listing, was appointed as a director in April 2018. Peter brings a wealth of public company governance experience to the Board and is strategic in his approach to Company matters. Mr Mike Bailey was appointed as a director in July 2018. Mike, a naval architect, has extensive experience in managing highly-complex projects across the defence, oil and gas, and mining sectors. He is well respected in the industry. With these new appointments, the Board will continue to assess its governance framework to further comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations at the appropriate time. The Company maintained its dividend policy throughout the year with the payment of a final dividend for FY 2017 and an interim FY2018 dividend. FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE The company is pleased to report the following key metrics for the financial year 2018: FY17 FY18 Operating Revenue 38,082,604 40,712,292 EBITDA 7,800,413 4,924,321 Statutory NPAT 3,848,750 2,756,918 EPS 3.21 2.12 The Company reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) for the year of $2,756,918 (2017: $3,848,750) underpinned by revenue of $40,712,292 (2017: $38,082,604). Net Assets increased to $29.5 million with a large build up of inventory primarily associated with the preparation for future gyro stabilizer sales. As indicated at the half year, the result includes an increase in advertising and marketing costs of approximately $489,000 resulting from the additional efforts on the promotion and sales efforts for the Company’s gyrostabilizer range as aforementioned. Net operating cash flows report a deficit of $1.4 million which primarily is a result of the continued build up of Gyro inventory during the period, taking total inventories from $8.4 million in 2017 to $13.3 as at the end of the 2018 financial year. Due to the cyclical nature of the submarine refit program, revenue for FY2018 was impacted by lower sales in this area, however other sales in the Company’s traditional services resulted in total sales for the year being higher than 2017. Delays in some defence contracts exacerbated the fall in profits from FY2107, along with a slower build up on Gyro inventory as the Company awaited orders of these products. The production and supply of VEEM’s new range of conquest propellers continued during the year and the Company expects to see a continuation of the sales growth of this replacement model of propeller. VEEM propellers continued to grow with sales increasing by 7.2% for FY2018. Overall propeller sales increased by 11.6% over FY2017. The defence submarine refit program commenced late in FY2017 and continued into FY2018. Although the bulk of the manufacturing occurred during FY2017, licensor parts were supplied during FY2018, which have a lower GP%. This is reflected in the overall GP for the company being reduced by 8% against last year. In addition, contributing to the lower GP was the delay of certain defence related contracts which resulted in lower productivity of the VEEM workforce until the contracts commenced late in FY2018. As earlier noted, Gyro operation in the field was a particular highlight for the year. Thorough research and design have led to all installed units being commissioned quickly and running reliably from the first day. Technical issues have been very minor giving rise to a high level of confidence from the market. In particular the actual Gyro performance measured in the field has very closely matched or exceeded the predicted levels. This was particularly evident during the Damen trials. Damen has extensively developed internal software to evaluate the stabilization characteristics of their vessels. This led to the very successful sea trials of two VEEM VG260SD Gyrostabilizers in the Netherlands in June 2018 on a Damen 5009 crew vessel. VEEM is currently negotiating the supply of the first VG1000SD for the new Damen 7011 high speed crew vessel. The commencement of sales to Shipbuilders such as Friere Shipyards, Couach Yachts, Fead Ship and Van Der Valk Yachts has been largely on the back of accurate performance predictions and the extremely high build quality. D I R E C TO R S ’ R E P O RT | 9 DIRECTORS' REPORTD I R E C TO R S ' R E P O RT “Wirin”, the nine metre high sculpture embodying the spirit and culture of the Noongar people in Yagan Square, Perth, which was manufactured by VEEM As indicated at the half year, of cultural interest was the casting of the statue for Yagan square in Northbridge Perth, Wirin by Tjyllyungoo/Lance Chadd and cast by the foundry at VEEM. The nine-metre high Wirin expresses this in a tall, Aboriginal figure of smooth contemporary lines. His ‘Gidji' (spear) and ‘Mirro' (spear thrower) are one with his body, connecting to Boodja, depicting unity and connective continuity of spirit. The VEEM foundry also has the privilege of working on the new ANZAC bell to be installed in the Swan Bell Tower in Perth. The bell, which is cast from copper and tin, is to be funded by a Lottery west grant, investment from private donors and VEEM. The ANZAC bell will be the largest operating bell in the Southern Hemisphere once completed and would be a lasting legacy to acknowledge the ANZAC centenary. The casting was completed in July 2018. In line with its historical approach to ensuring the Company remains at the forefront of engineering technology, VEEM was pleased to advise of it entering into an Industry Partner Agreement with Aurora Labs to gain access to large scale 3D metal printing. VEEM and Aurora will investigate the potential of Aurora’s 3D printing and large format technology to deliver cost and efficiency savings for the manufacture of VEEM’s specialist technology, including its propellers, fin systems and gyrostabilizers. OUTLOOK The VEEM gyrostabilizers are now starting to gain traction in sales. This sales growth is expected to continue going forward. The Company is preparing for the increase in sales and production and is considering the expansion of its facilities to accommodate this. Defence contracting in Australia continues to build with contracts for the SEA 1180 Phase 1 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) Offshore Patrol boats, the new Sea 5000 Future Frigate contract and the Land 400 Phase 3 for 450 tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) all being awarded. These are in addition to the future submarine project and the Pacific Patrol Boat project. VEEM is active in all of these spaces and will be tendering on multiple components on each. VEEM has already won work on the Pacific Patrol Boat project. There has been a significant increase in orders and predicted work load in the ride control space for the next two financial years and there will be a full cycle docking of a submarine during this same period. Work already won for supply during FY2019 places VEEM in a strong position to deliver a strong financial performance going forward which will be underpinned by the traditional engineering services with additional Gyro sales. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS Other than disclosed elsewhere in this report, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company to the date of this report. 10 | V E E M LT D SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE Other than disclosed elsewhere in this report, there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial periods. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS The Company will continue with its strategy as set out in its Prospectus lodged with the ASX on 24 October 2016. The commercialisation of the Company’s Gyro Stabilizing will be a key priority during the 2019 financial year. ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION The Company is not subject to any significant environmental legislation. DIVIDENDS Dividends paid to members during the financial year were as follows: An interim ordinary dividend of $487,500 was paid on 27 April 2018. Since the end of the financial year the Directors have recommended the payment of a final fully franked ordinary dividend of $338,000 to be paid on or around 28 September 2018. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company has agreed to indemnify all the Directors of the Company for any liabilities to another person (other than the Company or related body corporate) that may arise from their position as Directors of the Company and its controlled entities, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors and officers of the Company and its controlled entities against any liability incurred in the course of their duties to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. D I R E C TO R S ' R E P O RT REMUNERATION REPORT This report, which forms part of the Directors’ report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the key management personnel (“KMP”) of VEEM Ltd for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for KMP who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company. KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL The Directors set out below were the only key management personnel of the Company during or since the end of the financial year. Directors John Bradley Miocevich Chairman (non-executive) Mark David Miocevich Managing Director Ian Henry Barsden Non-Executive Director Peter Patrick Torre Independent Non-Executive Director (appointed 12 April 2018) Independent Non-Executive Director (appointed 17 July 2018) Except as noted, the named persons held their current positions for the whole of the financial year and to the date of this report. REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the Directors and executives. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees. REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The Company did not have a separate Remuneration and Nomination Committee during the year. The full Board fulfilled the role typically undertaken by a Remuneration Committee and was responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team. A final ordinary dividend of $1,599,000 was paid on 21 September 2017. Michael Robert Bailey • • D I R E C TO R S ’ R E P O RT | 11 D I R E C TO R S ' R E P O RT REMUNERATION STRUCTURE In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. SENIOR MANAGER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION Remuneration consists of reasonable fixed remuneration only. USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS FIXED REMUNERATION The Board has not used any independent remuneration consultants during the year ended 30 June 2018. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Constitution of the Company as at the time of listing in October 2016 provides that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors be set at $400,000. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually leading up to the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. Given there are no committees currently in place, no additional fees are paid. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Board has access to external, independent advice where necessary. Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The fixed remuneration component is detailed in Key Management Personnel remuneration for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 tables. 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 was approved by in excess of 75% of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS Details of employment contracts with executive KMP: Agreement with M. Miocevich (date of commencement 1 September 2016) NAME TERM OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION PROVISIONS BASE SALARY INCLUDING SUPERANNUATION TERMINATION BENEFIT M. Miocevich This agreement has no set term. Termination of the agreement is 1 month’s notice by the Executive or 3 months’ notice by the Company and includes a 6 month restraint of trade. Base: $385,000 per annum plus $35,000 superannuation 3 Months salary Executive remuneration at this stage consists only of fixed remuneration which has been set at moderate levels for the managing director. This is cognisant of the stage of development as a listed company and as the Company moves to establish itself into new markets. The Company will continue to assess the executive remuneration and appropriately incentivise key management with variable remuneration aligned to shareholder wealth in the periods to come. 12 | V E E M LT D REMUNERATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL Key Management Personnel remuneration for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS POST- EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS LONG TERM BENEFITS SHARE BASED BENEFITS 30 June 2018 Salary & fee Bonus Non- monetary benefits Directors $ Bradley Miocevich Mark Miocevich 109,589 381,520 Ian Barsden 54,794 Peter Torre 38,266 Michael Bailey - $ - - - - - $ - - - - - Long service leave Share options Other Superannuation $ $ 50,000 10,411 $ - - - - - 24,759 6,358 5,206 - - - - - Total $ $ 170,000 100% 412,637 100% 60,000 100% 38,266 100% - - $ - - - - - RELATIVE PROPORTIONS OF REMUNERATION OF KMP THAT ARE LINKED TO PERFORMANCE Fixed remuneration Remuneration linked to performance SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS POST- EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS LONG TERM BENEFITS SHARE BASED BENEFITS 30 June 2017 Salary & fee Bonus Non- monetary benefits Other Superannuation Long service leave Share options Directors $ Bradley Miocevich Mark Miocevich 89,824 314,390 Ian Barsden 63,737 $ - - - $ - - - $ - - - $ 9,150 34,260 6,055 $ - - - $ - - - Total $ $ 98,974 100% 348,650 100% 69,792 100% RELATIVE PROPORTIONS OF REMUNERATION OF KMP THAT ARE LINKED TO PERFORMANCE Fixed remuneration Remuneration linked to performance $ - - - - - $ - - - No member of key management personnel appointed during the period received a payment as part of his or her consideration for agreeing to hold the position.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY No person has applied for leave of court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings. NON-AUDIT SERVICES Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 20 to the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are of the opinion that the services do not compromise the auditor’s independence as all non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board. AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the Directors of the Company with Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the annual report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 12 and forms part of this Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

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. The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. The Company is a listed public Company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia selling into the domestic and global markets. The entity’s principal activities are described in the Directors’ Report. B. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2018 In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies. Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted applicable to 30 June 2018 The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted that are relevant to the Company and effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that AASB16 “Leases” may have a material effect on the application in future periods. AASB 16 replaces the AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, Interpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases- for the lessee - effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Most leases will be capitalised on the balance sheet by recognising a lease liability for the present value obligation and a 'right-of-use' asset. The right of use assets is calculated based on the lease liability plus initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and estimated restoration costs less lease incentives received. This will result in an increase in the recognised assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position as well as a change in expense recognition, with interest and deprecation replacing operating lease expense. There are exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice, i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating leases. This standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group's operating lease. As at 30 June 2018, the Group has $1,165,273 of non-cancellable operating lease commitments, predominantly relating to a property lease. The Group is considering the available options to account for this transition which may result in a change in reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and increase in lease assets and liabilities recognition. The lease standard may also have an impact on deferred tax balances. This will however be dependent on the lease arrangements in place when the new standard is effective. The Group has commenced the process of evaluating the impact of the new lease standard. AASB 16 is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted for entities that also adopt AASB 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Other than the above, there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies. Early adoption of Standards The Company has early adopted AASB 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which is mandatory for years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. There is no material impact to profit or loss or net assets on the adoption of this new standard in the current or comparative years. N OT E S TO T H E F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S | 21 C. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of VEEM Ltd on 30 August 2018. 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). D. 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. Except as described below, in preparing the full-year financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018. Amortisation of product development Product development is amortised based on units of production as the Board has determined that this appropriately apportions the costs of development across the units produced to meet customer orders and building of inventory to meet future orders. Product development costs continue to be monitored to ensure there are any indicators that these costs may be impaired or whether the amortisation rate needs to be accelerated 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. 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. Capitalisation of internally developed products Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new products and determining whether the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met requires judgement. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired. E. 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 Board of Directors of VEEM Ltd. The Board has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of directors that are used to make strategic decision. The entity does not have any operational segments with discrete financial information. The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis that are consistent with the information provided in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Both the functional and presentation currency of VEEM Ltd 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. 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. 22 | V E E M LT D G. REVENUE RECOGNITION Interest income Revenue from contracts with customers is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Contract liabilities are recognised where applicable in relation to sales. Point in time recognition - sale of goods – propulsion & stabilization Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied: • the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; • the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Over time recognition - Sale of goods and rendering of services - mining & industrial engineering, propulsion & stabilization, and defence In determining whether performance obligations are satisfied over time the company considers the following: • Legal control is often retained by the customer; • VEEM products and services are highly specialised and often do not have an alternate use; and • Contracts are established with customers so that VEEM has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including profit margin. Revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the performance obligation. The stage of completion of the performance obligation is determined as follows: • Contract income is recognised by reference to the total actual costs incurred at the end of the reporting period relative to the proportion of the total costs expected to be incurred over the life of the performance obligation; • Servicing fees are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the service for the product sold; and • Revenue from time and material contracts are recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred. Interest income 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. H. GOVERNMENT GRANTS Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. I. 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. J. LEASES Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs, refer Note 1(i). N OT E S TO T H E F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S | 23 Finance lease assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. K. INCOME TAX 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 adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. 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. L. 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. 24 | V E E M LT D 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. O. 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 from15 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 theoriginal effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. M. IMPAIRMENT OF TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS 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. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. N. 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 in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. N OT E S TO T H E F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S | 25 P. INVENTORIES Held-to-maturity investments (i) Raw material, stores and work in progress Raw materials, stores and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of stock mainly on the basis of average cost. (ii) Contract work in progress Contract work in progress is stated at cost plus attributable profit to date (based on percentage of completion of each contract) less progress billings. Cost includes all costs directly related to specific contracts and an allocation of overhead expenses incurred in connection with the company’s contract operations. Where a loss on completion is indicated that loss is brought to account in the current year. 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. Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. If the Company were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available- for-sale. Q. FINANCIAL ASSETS Loans and receivables Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ where applicable. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, where applicable, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for- sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until t he investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. 26 | V E E M LT D R. DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS S. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Company assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or Company of financial assets is impaired. Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a Company of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that Company of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is de- recognised when: • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: • has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or • has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Company could be required to repay. When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash- settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Company may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Such impairment loss shall not be reversed in subsequent periods. Available-for-sale investments If there is objective evidence that an available-for- sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss. T. 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 a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Motor vehicles 3-10 years Plant and equipment 5-30 years Computer equipment 3-5 years The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance 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 The VEEM VG260 has been successfully trialed in the notoriously rough North Sea and is capable of delivering its staggering 260,000Nm of torque whether sitting at anchor or barrelling down a wave at 50 knts. 28 | V E E M LT D 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 10 – 20 years Product Development Expenditure Software Units of production 10 years V. 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. W. BORROWINGS Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. 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. U. 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 Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally- generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; • The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; • The ability to use or sell the intangible asset; • How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; • The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. and salaries, annual leave and sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables 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. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. X. 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 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. Y. EMPLOYEE LEAVE BENEFITS Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages 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 liabilities 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. Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for 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. z. DIVIDENDS Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. AA. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share are calculated, where applicable, as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; • the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential • ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 30 | V E E M LT D NOTE 2: REVENUE AND EXPENSES Revenue from contracts with customers Sales revenue Revenue – point in time Revenue – over time Other revenue Apprentice subsidies Commissions received Interest received Scrap metal 2018 ($) 2017 ($) 1,064,595 1,740,511 39,632,923 36,306,980 5,030 557 - 9,187 14,000 850 12,279 7,984 40,712,292 38,082,604 During the year, the Company recognised revenue of $9,425,468 in relation to the prior years’ work in progress. The Company has progress billings at 30 June 2018 of $2,356,643 (2017: $1,775,114). The geographic distribution of sales for the FY17/18 was approximately 68% (2017: 68%) derived within Australia and the remaining 32% (2017: 32%) were derived predominantly from the USA, UK, Italy and NZ. Contracts are received and executed generally within 12 months and hence are considered short term contracts. Period contracts (those that extend greater than 1 year) with customers are executed by discrete purchase orders for required shipments and hence still fall within the definition for short term contracts. All sales are generated by direct contract with customers. Sales agents are utilised in Europe to introduce enquiries and leads and contracts are then established direct with the buyer. Where distributors are utilised the entity purchases and contracts directly with VEEM Ltd. The Company has contract assets, being work in progress (overtime) at 30 June 2018 of $4,670,847 (2017: $3,060,509). The Company will recognise revenue from contracts with customers based on the following performance: • the completion of the contracted work-scope following factory acceptance testing in accordance with contract terms and conditions and • when applicable, completion of contracted milestones and transfer of title generally based on: milestone 1 - material acquisition, and/or milestone 2 - completion of casting metal pour, and/or milestone 3 - factory acceptance testing (FAT) The majority of customer contracts are from the private sector and this accounts for approximately 80% of the revenue during FY17/18. Sales to quasi-government and government instrumentalities accounted for 25% (2017: 18%) and 7% (2017: 2%) respectively.

The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of Directors of VEEM Ltd. The Board has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of directors that are used to make strategic decision. The entity does not have any operational segments with discrete financial information. The Board of Directors’ review internal management reports on a monthly basis that are consistent with the information provided in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions. The Company has one customer where the revenue from that customer was in excess of 10% of the Company’s revenue. Customer A generated 25.4% (2017: 17.7%) of the Company’s revenue for the year. The total sales revenue for VEEM Ltd for FY2018 was $40,697,518. This can be broken down into the following major sales categories. Engineering Services is the mining and industrial engineering manufacture and service portion of the business and sales for FY2018 were $12,664,262. Propulsion and stabilization consists of the manufacture of new propellers, shaft lines, gyro stabilizers and fin stabilizers. The sales in this category were $17,709,347.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 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. Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

Foreign currency risk management The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. This is managed by the Company’s operations having a natural hedge with materials purchased and sold at prices fixed at the prevailing rate. The Company therefore has limited exposure to US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), and Great British Pound (GBP) debtors and creditors currency fluctuations.

To negate some of this risk the company has embarked on a global supply program the procurement of all appropriate goods that form part of its manufactured products. This includes but is not limited to the supply of sub components, individual parts consumable products used in production and stock items. The Company also manages market risk by keeping abreast of factors affecting its market on a continual basis. Business improvement practices continually evolve. Interest rate risk management The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Company’s exposures to interest rate on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by management annually. The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained. Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis Liquidity risk management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in note 14 is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Company has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non- derivative instruments at the balance date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease has been used when reporting interest rate risk represents management’s assessment of the change in interest rates. At balance date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s net profit would increase by $3,562 and decrease by $3,562 (2017:$1,871). This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings. The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased during the current period mainly due to the increase in variable rate debt instruments. Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We 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 Carrying amount of the intangible asset (product development expenditure) Note 12 of the financial report The Company has an intangible asset in relation to Our procedures included but were not limited to capitalised expenditure on the development of gyroscopic stabilisers. the following:  Assessing The development expenditure of $11.281 million has been deemed to be a key audit matter, given the size of the balance, the technological change the recognition criteria for intangible assets by challenging the key assumptions used or estimates made in capitalising development costs, including management’s assessment of the stage of HLB Mann Judd (WA Partnership) ABN 22 193 232 714 Level 4 130 Stirling Street Perth WA 6000 | PO Box 8124 Perth BC WA 6849 | Telephone +61 (08) 9227 7500 | Fax +61 (08) 9227 7533 Email: mailbox@hlbwa.com.au | Website: www.hlb.com.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation HLB Mann Judd (WA Partnership) is a member of International, a world-wide organisation of accounting firms and business advisers 43 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Carrying amount of the intangible asset (product development expenditure) Note 12 of the financial report in the industry, the gyroscopic stabiliser market being relatively new and immature, VEEM itself being a new entrant, as well as the specific criteria that have to be met for capitalisation. This involves management judgment, such as with respect to distinguishing between research and development phases, technical feasibility, intention and ability to complete the intangible asset, ability to use or sell the asset, generation of future economic benefits and the ability to measure the costs reliably. In is any addition, determining whether indication of impairment requires management judgment and assumptions which are affected by future market or economic developments. there Revenue recognition Note 2 of the financial report The Company has two distinct categories of revenue with performance revenue being obligations recognised at a point in time and revenue with performance obligations recognised over time. We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the number and type of estimation events that may occur over the course of a contract life, leading to complex and judgemental revenue recognition and the direct impact on profit. the project in the development phase and the accuracy of costs included;  We considered management’s assessment of whether any indicators of impairment were present by understanding the business rationale for projects and performing reviews for indicators of impairment;  We assessed the Company’s disclosure in the financial report; and the adequacy of  We ensured management applied an appropriate and amortisation period to its finite life intangibles. amortisation method Our procedures included but were not limited to the following:  We examined and tested the Company’s key controls over revenue and related work-in- progress;  We read and considered a sample of the Company’s key contracts to determine if we concurred with management’s assessment of performance obligations, transaction price and any contract liabilities that may arise, the allocation of the transaction price, and when to recognise revenue, either at a point in time, or over time; the recognition, we  For a sample of contracts designated for over time the methodology and accuracy of recognising profit at the stage of completion at balance date; assessed  We substantiated revenue transactions on a sample basis by agreeing the transaction to the customer’s contract, purchase order, sales invoice, delivery docket, customer certification report, and bank receipt, where relevant;  We tested the appropriateness of progress claims on a sample basis; and  We assessed the Company’s disclosures in the financial report. the adequacy of 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 report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 44 | 51 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 includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:      Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 52 | 45 V E E M LT D We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the remuneration report We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the remuneration report of VEEM Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2018 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
