Dear Shareholders,
It is with great pleasure I present to you Vmoto Limited’s 2013 Annual Report.
This year’s major milestone is our maiden net profit of A$404,460. After years of hard work, this is a most rewarding
result.
During the year, 60,500 units were produced from the factory, a considerable increase from 2012 due to the escalation in
production of the PowerEagle scooters and the launch of 11 new models of electric two wheel vehicles for the domestic
Chinese market. Production at the Nanjing facility continues to ramp up and with the current infrastructure still running
at below 20% capacity, it leaves significant room for growth in 2014. In the second half of 2013, Vmoto opened 10 retail
stores in China, recording sales of over 3,700 units. Post the reporting period, further stores have been opened.
The success of the Company’s business model, led by the Managing Director and his management team, is apparent
with a 156% growth in revenue for 2013.
In August 2013, Vmoto delivered two trial electric four wheel street cleaning vehicles to the district government in Jianye
District, Nanjing. The trial is still ongoing, however the Company continues to receive interest from many companies
within China and internationally to collaborate with Vmoto. This is potentially a very exciting new market.
Vmoto still has one of the widest global distribution networks of any electric scooter manufacturer in the world, being
represented by more than 28 distributors in 27 countries in the geographic regions of Australia and New Zealand, Asia,
Europe, South America, South Africa and North America.
The global electric scoter market, lead predominantly by China and Asia, is growing at a rapid pace as governments,
businesses and day to day commuters look to reduce carbon emissions and reduce operating costs. The Company’s
competitive strategy is based on producing the highest quality and most technically innovative scooters available to the
market. It is this sector the Company believes will produce the most attractive returns over the long term. The forecast
growth numbers in electric scooters in China and the world continue to increase and Vmoto is now well positioned from
a competitive perspective.
In conclusion, I would like to thank my fellow Directors, the management team and our staff for their contributions
during the 2013 financial year. The Company is now well placed within the scooter market and I look forward with
enthusiasm to the year ahead as we build on our successes of 2013.
Yours faithfully
Simon Farrell
Chairman

OVERVIEW
Vmoto Limited (ASX:VMT, AIM:VMT), the global scooter manufacturing and distribution group specialising in "green"
electric powered scooters, provides the following operations review for the year ended 31 December 2013.
During the 2013 financial year, Vmoto continued with its strategy of designing, manufacturing and distributing high
quality “green” electric powered two wheel scooters from its manufacturing facilities in Nanjing, China.
The Company’s extensive sales pipeline began delivering rewards as customers such as Shanghai PowerEagle
International Co Ltd’s (PowerEagle) continued to ramp up orders under its cooperation agreement as announced on 3
July 2012. From mid way through the year, after the launch of 11 specifically designed low cost models, the Company
also began to focus on the huge domestic Chinese market, the world’s largest electric two wheel vehicle market, with 30
million units produced in 2012 and expected to increase to 40 million units in 20151.
As a result of the significant increase in production from factory, the opening of new retail stores, and more streamlined
processes, the Company is pleased to report a maiden net profit of A$404,460 on a turnover of A$25.2 million for the
2013 financial year.
Cash, facility and inventory
As at 31 December 2013, the Company had cash of A$4.4 million.
The Company’s total operating facility drawn down was RMB29.9 million (approximately A$5.5 million) and the total
undrawn operating facility was RMB4.1 million (approximately A$757,000). As at 31 December 2013 the inventory at the
factory stood at A$5.2 million.
EXISTING MARKETS AND SALES
Sales for the year were predominantly made in China. In particular, PowerEagle production ramped up and was
complimented by the launch of the Company’s own models and retail stores.
ASIA
China: During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company fulfilled PowerEagle’s forecast production of 42,000
units for the year, with a total of 44,235 units produced and 42,051 units sold to end of December 2013.
In June 2013, Vmoto opened its first Chinese flagship retail store in Lishui District, Nanjing. Following this, the Company
opened a further 9 retail stores in various locations around Nanjing, Jurong, Shanghai and Kunshan.
The Company sold over 3,700 units of electric two wheel vehicles through its 10 Chinese retail stores during the financial
year and has shown that Vmoto’s electric two wheel vehicle products have been well received by retail customers in
China. Given the lead time each store requires for sales to start being generated, the number of units sold has been
encouraging and in line with management’s expectations.
The opening of Vmoto’s retail stores in China is a key milestone for the Company and is one of the strategies of the
Company to further penetrate into the world’s largest electric two wheel vehicles market. The Company is assessing a
number of other locations and expects to open more retail stores in 2014.
Vmoto’s own retail stores give customers a direct buying opportunity where they can test ride, touch and feel Vmoto’s
electric two wheel vehicles. Vmoto’s retail stores are also a one-stop shop offering a wide range of Vmoto electric two
wheel vehicle products that can meet the different requirements and budgets of customers, supply parts and accessories
and provide requisite after sales services.

O P E R A T I O N S R E V I E W ( c o n t ’ d )
The Company also intends to seek collaborations and distribution agreements with other electric scooter companies
within China where a direct Vmoto retail outlet is not appropriate.
Indonesia: In November 2013, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with the Indonesian company
PT. Garansindo Technologies to distribute, stock and market the Company’s Vmoto and E-Max range of electric scooter
products in Indonesia. The Company is in discussions with the Indonesian distributor to determine specific
requirements for their electric scooter products for the Indonesian market.
Malaysia: The Company sold 72 units of its delivery electric scooters in completely knocked down (“CKD”) form to its
Malaysian Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) customer during the year, with a further 72 units sold after the
end of the period.
The Company also shipped units to distributors in Thailand and South Korea and started discussions with potential
distributors in India.
EUROPE
Sales in Europe during 2013 were generally slower due to economic conditions.
Germany: The Company commenced the production of E-Tropolis electric scooters during the period. While orders
remained slow due to Europe’s economic conditions, by 31 December 2013, the Company had delivered 232 units to the
customer.
Netherlands: The Company secured B.V Nimag as its new exclusive distributor in the Netherlands. 38 units were
shipped to the Netherlands during the year.
The Company also shipped units to distributors in Cyprus, Italy and Slovenia.
NORTH AMERICA
USA: The Company delivered its first order of 75 units to KLD Energy in the USA where KLD will install their own
Samsung lithium battery packs and drive systems into the Vmoto “120” model. KLD’s engineers are performing further
tests on the drive system and visited Vmoto’s Nanjing Facility at the end of July 2013 for the required system update.
The Company also shipped units to distributors in Canada.
SOUTH AMERICA
Brazil: As announced on 24 April 2013, the Company signed a joint venture (“JV”) agreement with Riba Motors
Industria e Comercio Ltda (“Riba”), providing Vmoto access to Riba’s assembly facility with direct distribution to Latin
America, the world’s second fastest growing electric scooter market2.
The JV with Riba as a local partner offers significant cost savings for the Company and the opportunity for Vmoto to
leverage Riba’s expertise in the Latin American market.
Due to the unprecedented social turmoil and unrest in Brazil and the significant interest received in the domestic
Chinese market by Vmoto, the Company opted to defer its marketing efforts in Brazil and focus on the world’s biggest
market, China, which the Company anticipates will generate better returns in the short to medium term.
OTHER COUNTRIES
During the year, the Company also shipped to distributors in South Africa.

LAUNCH OF NEW MODELS/VERSIONS IN CHINA
In June 2013, Vmoto launched the first batch of five new models of electric two wheel vehicles in China. These new
models are updated versions of Vmoto’s E-Max classic 80S and 120S electric scooters and newly developed electric two
wheel vehicle models. The new models have been developed specifically to target the Chinese market, the design being
modern and fashionable and at a reasonable price point.
The Company now has a total of 11 models of electric two wheel vehicles and will be developing more models in 2014 to
keep up with demand.
COLLABORATIONS, TENDERS AND JOINT VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Joint Venture
Vmoto continued to progress toward execution of the necessary Chinese regulation agreements required to implement
the proposed joint venture with a private Chinese electronic technology company, as announced on 2 October 2013.
While formal operations have been delayed as a result of the collation of these agreements, Vmoto’s joint venture partner
is currently in situ at Vmoto’s Nanjing facility and both parties remain committed to formalising the joint venture.
Electric cleaning vehicles
As announced on 13 August 2013, the Company delivered two trial electric four-wheel street cleaning vehicles for the
district Government in Jianye District, Nanjing for trial. Trials and discussions with the Nanjing Government are
ongoing.
During the year, the Company received many leads within China and internationally from parties who have expressed
interest in cooperating with Vmoto. The Company is continuously evaluating these collaborations and opportunities to
expand sales in China and globally.
CORPORATE
During the year, the Company raised a total of A$6.8 million (before costs) with institutional and sophisticated investors
in Australia and the UK to assist the Company in meeting the electric two wheel vehicle market demand and continuing
expansion into China.
On 29 January 2013, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Simon Farrell and Mr Ivan Teo as Non-Executive
Chairman and Finance Director respectively.
Vmoto’s Australian registered office relocated to Suite 1, Ground Floor, 83 Havelock Street, West Perth, Western
Australia in March 2013 and Vmoto’s European after sales service, marketing and distribution centre moved from
Barcelona, Spain to Bremen, Germany in February 2013 in order to provide a more efficient after sales service to the
Company’s distributors and customers in Europe.
OUTLOOK
2013 was a significant year for Vmoto as production at the factory started ramping up leading to its maiden profit. The
Company continues to deliver on its existing OEM contract with PowerEagle and this has been complemented by the
launch of its own models and opening of its own stores in China. China is a huge market for the Company and there is
still significant room for growth with the current factory infrastructure, which is still below 20% capacity.
The Company is very excited about the opportunities in China and is executing a number of strategies to gain a stronger
foothold in China to further consolidate its position as a premium, quality brand for the Chinese market electric scooter
market.

Vmoto certainly does not ignore the rest of the world and this is demonstrated by the global sales, albeit much smaller
than China, in more than 20 countries. The Board remains focussed on increasing sales outside of China and is excited by
the opportunities and discussions presenting themselves amongst others in Indonesia, India, Brazil, Europe and the US.
The Company has also been approached by a number of parties operating in the electric vehicles sector for collaborations
or joint ventures. Discussions with these parties are continuing and the Company is looking forward to progressing
these to see if any agreements can be secured to add long term value to the Company.
The continuous interest in Vmoto’s manufacturing capacity and electric scooters by customers has demonstrated their
confidence in Vmoto’s infrastructure, capabilities and products.
2014 is expected to be another year of growth for Vmoto as production at the factory increases for both domestic China
and overseas markets. It is an exciting time for the global electric scooter market and the Board consider Vmoto is now
well positioned to be at the forefront of it.

Operating and Financial Review
Review of Operations
Vmoto Limited is a global scooter manufacturing and distribution group. The Company specialises in high quality
“green” electric powered scooters and manufactures a range of western designed electric scooters from its low cost
manufacturing facilities in Nanjing, China. Vmoto combines low cost Chinese manufacturing capabilities with European
design. The group operates through two primary brands: Vmoto (aimed at the value market in Asia) and E-Max
(targeting Western markets with a premium end product). As well as operating under its own brands, the Company also
sells to a number of customers on an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) basis.
Total consolidated sales of A$25.2 million were recorded for the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 31 December
2013. The revenue of the Consolidated Entity has increased by 447% as compared to the six months period ended 31
December 2012, largely as a result of the Company’s expansion into the Chinese electric scooter market. During the year
ended 31 December 2013, the Consolidated Entity achieved a profit of A$404,460 after income tax.
A more detailed review of operations for the year ended 31 December 2013 is set out in the Operations Review preceding
the Directors’ Report.

Review of Financial Position
The Consolidated Entity’s net assets have increased by approximately A$7.4 million during the year ended 31 December
2013.
Cash balances increased by A$2.6 million during the year ended 31 December 2013 primarily as a result of the
Company’s successful placements during the financial year and partly offset by cash flow to build up stocks to mass
produce electric two-wheel products especially for China market.
Trade and other receivables have increased by A$1.8 million mainly due to higher accrued sales during the financial
year.
Inventories have increased by A$2.0 million and prepayments have increased by A$1.8 million mainly due increased
production level and requirements for higher stock level to mass produce electric two-wheel products to meet customers
demand.
Property, plant and equipment were consistent year on year.
Trade and other payables decreased by A$0.6 million during the period mainly due to higher level of payments to trade
and other payables.
Loans and borrowings have increased from A$4.2 million to A$5.5 million mainly due to movement of AUD:RMB
exchange rate from 6.4687 at 31 December 2012 to 5.4147 at 31 December 2013 as the bank operating facility are
denominated in Renminbi. An additional RMB3 million (approximately A$472,000) operating facility has been draw
down during the financial year and the bank operating facility drawn down was RMB29.9 million (A$5.5 million) at 31
December 2013.
Equity has increased by A$7.4 million during the year ended 31 December 2013 primarily as a result of the Company’s
successful placements during the year ended 31 December 2013.
No dividend has been declared or paid by the Company to the date of this Report in respect of the year ended 31
December 2013 and the six months ended 31 December 2012.
Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years
The Chinese market is the world’s largest electric two wheel vehicle market, with 30 million units produced in 2012 and
expected to increase to 40 million units in 20153. The Company has begun to focus on the huge domestic Chinese market
and expects to continue its expansion into China and to increase its presence in China. We have a number of strategies to
achieve this, including:
• Develop more retail stores, distributors and OEM customers in China; and
• Collaborations and cooperations with parties operating in the electric vehicles sector.
The Company also expects to increase its global sales by targeting B2B customers especially in the delivery and fast food
sectors and to appoint more international distributors. The Company is already in discussions and progressing with a
number of interested parties in many countries including Indonesia, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Europe and the US.
We are also continually considering ways of reducing the Company’s cost of manufacturing and operating costs by
improving efficiency.
The Chinese government has become increasingly focused on environmental protection to reduce pollution through
new-energy and clean technology. This was highlighted in the 2014 Chinese Government Work Report from the Chinese
People’s Political Consultative Conference annual session concluded on 12 March 2014.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T ( c o n t ’ d )
Chinese Government policies providing subsidies to purchasers of new-energy vehicles, accelerating the construction of
public electric charging stations and poles, and encouraging greater investment in electric car technology are reflective of
the Government’s greater focus in this sector. While a number of the new policies are centred on China’s electric car
market, Vmoto is monitoring developments closely as the Company expects to benefit from new Government policies
and initiatives that encourage the use of new-energy 4 wheel and 2 wheel electric vehicles.
The material business risks faced by the Company are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the Company.
The potential material business risks and how the Company manages these risks includes:
•
•
technological obsolescence – given the Company operates in industry involving green and electric vehicles
technology, any technological obsolescence could have impact on our financial results. We address this risk
through investment in research and development, patent appropriate and necessary research and development
results, recruit competent technicians and constantly monitoring the market. We see this risk as minimal as the
Company is constantly developing new technology and functions in its electric scooter products and have the
protection of trademarks and patents.
reduction in demand from China - given our reliance on the Chinese economy, reduction in demand from
China market for our electric scooter products could have impact on our financial results. Based on the views of
prominent economic commentators, we do not anticipate any significant slowdown in the Chinese economy for
the next few years. The Company also distribute its products in Europe and expanding sales in Asia regions. In
addition, the Company is investigating the option of expanding sales into other emerging economies such as
India and Vietnam to diversify its sales channel and reduce reliance on Chinese market.
Impact of legislation and other external requirements
The Consolidated Entity’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations. The Board believes
that the Consolidated Entity has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental regulations and is
not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Consolidated Entity.
Clean Energy Legislative Package
The Clean Energy Legislative Package, which included the Clean Energy Act 2011, was passed by the Australian
Government in November 2011. It sets out the way that the government will introduce a carbon price to reduce
Australia’s carbon pollution and move to a clean energy future.
The Consolidated Entity’s manufacturing activities are primarily carried out in China and the Directors believe that the
Group will not be significantly affected by this legislation passed. The Consolidated Entity has not incorporated the
effect of any carbon price implementation in its impairment testing at 31 December 2013.
The Directors’ view is that there were no changes in environmental or other legislative requirements during the year that
have significantly affected the results or operations of the Consolidated Entity.

This remuneration report outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the
Consolidated Entity.
Director and Key Management Personnel details
The following persons acted as Directors of the Company during or since the end of the financial year:
• Mr Simon Farrell (appointed 29 January 2013)
• Mr Charles Chen (appointed Executive Director 5 January 2007, appointed Managing Director 1 September 2011)
• Mr Ivan Teo (appointed Finance Director 29 January 2013)
• Mr Oliver Cairns (appointed 1 September 2011)
• Mr Kaijian Chen (appointed 1 September 2011)
The term ‘key management personnel’ is used in this remuneration report to refer to the Directors and the following
persons. Except as noted, the named persons held their position during or since the end of the financial year:
• Mr Patrick Davin (President of Strategic Business Development)
• Mr Michael Fulton (International Sales Manager)
• Mr George Hou (General Manager)
• Mr Zhengjie Wu (Vice General Manager)
Overview of remuneration policies
The Board as a whole is responsible for considering remuneration policies and packages applicable both to Directors and
executives of the Company and the Consolidated Entity.
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
Company and the Consolidated Entity, including Directors of the Company and other executives. Key management
personnel comprise the Directors of the Company, and executives for the Company and the Consolidated Entity
including the key management personnel.
Broadly, remuneration levels for key management personnel of the Company and key management personnel of the
Consolidated Entity are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and
executives and reward the achievement of strategic objectives. The Board obtains independent advice on the
appropriateness of remuneration packages of both the Company and the Consolidated Entity given trends in
comparative companies both locally and internationally, and the objectives of the Company’s remuneration strategy.
Remuneration packages consist of fixed remuneration including base salary, employer contributions to superannuation
funds and non-cash benefits.
The Company has a variable remuneration package for Directors, which is known as the Performance Rights Plan. This
plan allows Directors to convert performance rights to fully paid ordinary shares for nil cash consideration, subject to
performance based vesting conditions.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges
related to employee benefits including motor vehicle), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.
Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers individual, segment and
overall performance of the Consolidated Entity. The Board has regard to remuneration levels external to the Consolidated
Entity to ensure the Directors’ and executives’ remuneration is competitive in the market place.

A B N 3 6 0 9 8 4 5 5 4 6 0
R E M U N E R A T I O N R E P O R T ( c o n t ’ d )
Executive Directors are employed full time and receive fixed remuneration in the form of salary and statutory
superannuation or consultancy fees, commensurate with their required level of services.
Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed monthly fee for their services. Where Non-Executive Directors provide services
materially outside their usual Board duties, they are remunerated on an agreed daily rate basis.
Service agreements
It is the Consolidated Entity’s policy that service agreements for key management personnel are unlimited in term but
capable of termination on 3 months’ notice and that the Consolidated Entity retains the right to terminate the service
agreements immediately, by making payment equal to 3 months’ pay in lieu of notice.
The service agreement outlines the components of compensation paid to key management personnel but does not
prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed annually on a date as
close as possible to 31 December of each year to take into account key management personnel’s performance.
Certain key management personnel will be entitled to bonuses as the Board may decide in its absolute discretion from
time to time, to a maximum of 50% of the key management personnel’s annual base salary per annum.
Non-Executive Directors
Total remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General
Meeting, is not to exceed A$300,000 per annum and has been set at a level to enable the Company to attract and retain
suitably qualified Directors. The Company does not have any scheme relating to retirement benefits for Non-Executive
Directors.
Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and executives.
Two methods have been applied to achieve this aim, the first being a performance-based rights subject to performance
based vesting conditions, and the second being the issue of options or shares to key management personnel to encourage
the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy was effective in increasing
shareholder wealth.

Share-based payment arrangements
Options
The Company operates an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) for executives and senior employees of the
Consolidated Entity. In accordance with the provisions of the plan, executives and senior employees may be granted
options to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price to be determined by the Board with regard to the market value
of the shares when it resolves to offer the options. The options may only be granted to eligible persons after the Board
considers the person’s seniority, position, length of service, record of employment, potential contribution and any
other matters which the Board considers relevant.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of Vmoto Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or
payable to the Company by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor
voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
The number of options granted is determined by the Board.
To date, options granted under the ESOP expire within thirty six months of their issue, or immediately on the
resignation of the executive or senior employee, whichever is the earlier.
During the year ended 31 December 2013, the following ESOP arrangements were in existence:

The Board of Directors of Vmoto Limited is responsible for the establishment of a corporate governance framework
that has regard to the best practice recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Vmoto’s objective
is to achieve best practice in corporate governance and the Company’s Board, senior executives and employees are
committed to achieving this objective.
This statement summarises the corporate governance practices that have been adopted by the Board. In addition to the
information contained in this statement, the Company’s website at www.vmoto.com contains additional details of its
corporate governance procedures and practices.
ASX Best Practice Recommendations
The ASX Listing Rules require listed companies to include in their Annual Report a statement disclosing the extent to
which they have complied with the ASX best practice recommendations in the reporting period. The recommendations
are not prescriptive and if a company considers that a recommendation is inappropriate having regard to its particular
circumstances, the company has the flexibility not to adopt it. Where Vmoto considered it was not appropriate to
presently comply with a particular recommendation the reasons are set out in the relevant section of this statement.
The Board has adopted a Corporate Governance policy that (except where expressly noted below) complies with the
Principles set out in the Second Edition of the “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations”, established
by the ASX Corporate Governance Council and published by the ASX in August 2007. Other than as noted below, this
Corporate Governance policy has been in effect for the entire reporting period.

via management, an appreciation of areas of significant business risk and ensuring that the
Company is appropriately positioned to manage those risks;
overseeing the management of safety, occupational health and environmental matters;
satisfying itself that the financial statements of the Company fairly and accurately set out the
financial position and financial performance of the Company for the period under review;
satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the
Board that proper operational, financial, compliance, and internal control processes are in place
and functioning appropriately;
to ensure that appropriate internal and external audit arrangements are in place and operating
effectively;
having a framework in place to help ensure that the Company acts legally and responsibly on all
matters consistent with the code of conduct; and
(l)
reporting to shareholders.
In accordance with ASX Principle 1, the Board has established a Board Charter which sets out functions reserved to
Board and those delegated to senior executives. This Charter is available on the Company’s website. The Board has
delegated responsibilities and authorities to management to enable management to conduct the Company’s day to day
activities. Matters which are not covered by these delegations, such as approvals which exceed certain limits, require
Board approval.
Evaluation of Board and Senior Executive performance
A process has been established to review and evaluate the performance of the Board, individual Directors and senior
executives. The Board is required to meet annually with the specific purpose of reviewing the role of the Board,
assessing the performance of the Board and individual Directors over the previous 12 months and examining ways in
which the Board can better perform its duties.
The Managing Director is responsible for assessing the performance of the key executives within the Company. This is
performed through a formal process involving a formal meeting with each senior executive.
Board composition
As at the date of this Report, the Board is comprised of two executive Directors and three non-executive Directors.
The Company’s website contains details on the procedures for the selection and appointment of new Directors and the
re-election of incumbent Directors, together with the Board’s policy for the nomination and appointment of Directors.
ASX Principle 2 recommends the Board establish a Nomination Committee to focus on the selection and appointment
practices of the Company. It is further recommended that the Nomination Committee have a formal Charter.
The Company has adopted a formal Nomination Committee Charter, available on the Company’s website, which
includes information on the Company’s approach to selection and appointment of Directors. However the Company
does not presently have a separate Nomination Committee. Given the current size and operations of the Company, the
full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance with the Charter.

( c o n t ’ d )
The composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually to ensure the balance of skills and experience is
appropriate. The current Directors have a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise in scooter and
motorcycle distribution and marketing and in the finance and corporate advisory industries. The skills, experience and
expertise of Directors are set out in the Directors’ Report. The Board considers that the current composition of the
Board is adequate for the Company’s current size and operations, and includes the appropriate mix of skills and
expertise, relevant to the Company’s business.
The names of the Directors in office at the date of this Report, the year they were first appointed, their status as non-
executive, executive or independent Directors and whether they are retiring by rotation and seeking re-election by
shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, are set out in the Directors’ Report.
Independence of non-executive directors
ASX Principle 2 recommends that a majority of the Board should be independent. The Board considers an independent
Director to be a non-executive Director who meets the criteria for independence included in Principle 2 of the ASX
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Materiality for these purposes is based on quantitative and
qualitative bases. An amount of over 5% of the annual turnover of the Company or 5% of the individual directors’ net
worth is considered material for these purposes.
The Board has reviewed and considered the positions and associations of each of the Directors in office at the date of
this report and consider that a majority of the Directors are independent.
Independent professional advice
The Board has adopted a formal policy on access to independent professional advice which provides that Directors are
entitled to seek independent professional advice for the purposes of the proper performance of their duties. The advice
is at the Company’s expense and advice so obtained is to be made available to all Directors.
Meetings
The Board held 6 scheduled meetings during the reporting period and no unscheduled meetings were held during that
period. Senior management attended and made presentations at the Board Meetings as considered appropriate and
were available for questioning by Directors.
The attendance of Directors at Board meetings during the financial year ended 31 December 2013 is detailed in the
Directors’ Report.
Code of Conduct
The Board encourages appropriate standards of conduct and behaviour from Directors, officers, employees and
contractors of the Company.
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct in relation to Directors and employees, available from the Company’s
website. This Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure that it reflects the highest
standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s
integrity.
A fundamental theme is that all business affairs are conducted legally, ethically and with strict observance of the
highest standards of integrity and propriety.
ASX Principle 3 recommends companies establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary
of that policy. It further recommends companies should disclose in each annual report measurable objectives for
achieving gender diversity set by the Board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving
them. Due to the current nature and scale of Vmoto’s activities, the Board has not established a diversity policy or
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity to report against in this report for the period ending 31 December
2013. Notwithstanding, the Company notes that as at the date of this report, the proportion of women associated with
the Company is:
a) Board: Nil
b) Senior Executive: 17.6%
c) Employees: 48.7%

Financial Reporting
ASX Principle 4 recommends the Board establish an Audit Committee to focus on issues relevant to the integrity of the
Company’s financial reporting. It is further recommended the Audit Committee have a formal Charter.
The Company has prepared a formal Audit Committee Charter, available from the Company’s website, which
promotes an environment consistent with best practice financial reporting and includes information on procedures for
the selection and appointment of the external auditor and for the rotation of external audit engagement partners. Given
the current size and operations of the Company, the Company does not presently have a separate Audit Committee.
The full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance with the Charter.
Continuous Disclosure

the Company’s website.
The Company is committed to:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
complying with the general and continuous disclosure principles contained in the Corporations
Act and the ASX Listing rules;
preventing the selective or inadvertent disclosure of material price sensitive information;
ensuring shareholders and the market are provided with full and timely information about the
Company’s activities; and
ensuring that all market participants have equal opportunity to receive externally available
information issued by the Company.
Shareholder Communication
In accordance with ASX Principle 6, the Board has established a communications strategy which is available from the
Company’s website. The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are kept informed of all major developments affecting
the Company.
The Managing Director and Company Secretary have primary responsibility for communication with shareholders.

Risk Management
In accordance with ASX Principle 7, the Company has a policy for the oversight and management of material business
risks, which is available on the Company’s website.
Management determines the Company’s risk profile and is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management
strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control. The Company’s process of risk management and
internal compliance and control includes:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
establishing the Company’s goals and objectives, and implementing and monitoring strategies
and policies to achieve these goals and objectives;
continuously identifying and reacting to risks that might impact upon the achievement of the
Company’s goals and objectives, and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and
trends that affect these risks;
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks and designing and
implementing appropriate risk management policies and internal controls; and
monitoring the performance of, and continuously improving the effectiveness of, risk
management systems and internal compliance and controls, including an ongoing assessment of
the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control.
Within the identified risk profile of the Company, comprehensive practices are in place that are directed towards
achieving the following objectives:
(a)
(b)
(c)
effectiveness and efficiency in the use of the Company’s resources;
compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
preparation of reliable published financial information.
The Board oversees an ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and
control, requiring management appraise the Board of changing circumstances within the Company and within the
international business environment. During the reporting period, the Managing Director regularly reported to the
Board as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks. Further, in accordance with
Principle 7, the Managing Director and Finance Director have confirmed in writing to the Board that:
(a) the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s
financial condition and operational results are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
(b) the above confirmation is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and
control which implements the policies of the Board;
(c) the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and
effectively in all material respects.

policies. It is further recommended that the Remuneration Committee have a formal Charter.
The Company has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee Charter, available on the Company’s website, which
includes information on the Company’s approach to remuneration of Directors (executive and non-executive) and
senior executives. However the Company does not presently have a separate Remuneration Committee. Given the
current size and operations of the Company, the full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance
with the Charter.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Vmoto Limited (“Vmoto” or “the Company”) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The consolidated financial
report of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity”).
(a) Basis of preparation
(i)
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Consolidated
Entity complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 March 2014.
(ii)
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity are prepared on an accruals basis and are based
on historical costs except where otherwise stated.
(iii)
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity are presented in Australian dollars, which is
different from its functional currency, determined to be Renminbi. The functional currency has changed from Euro
Dollar in the prior year to Renminbi in the current year, and is attributable to majority of sales and operation costs
are now predominantly denominated in Renminbi. A different presentation currency has been adopted as the
Board of Directors believe that financial statements presented in Australian dollar (which is the functional currency
of parent company) are more useful to the users and shareholders of the Company who are predominantly in
Australia.
(iv)
Standards and interpretations affecting amounts reported in current period (and/or prior periods)
During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Consolidated Entity adopted all of the new and revised Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of
these standards has not significantly impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the transactions of
the Consolidated Entity and its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the year end included:
• AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
• AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising
from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
• AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
• AASB 127 ‘Separate Financial Statements’ (2011) and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
• AASB 128 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’ (2011) and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards
• AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 13’
• AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ (2011) and AASB 2011-10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 119 (2011)’
• AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities’ AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from
Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle’

(v)
Going concern basis
The Consolidated Entity has recorded a profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2013 of $404,460 (six
months ended 31 December 2012: $1,275,581 loss after tax). At 31 December 2013, the Consolidated Entity had a
working capital surplus of $8,665,235 (31 December 2012: $1,195,600).
The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. The Directors believe this to be appropriate for the following reasons:
•
•
the Consolidated Entity has a significant working capital surplus;
the Consolidated Entity has long term supply agreements and demand for its electric powered scooter products
is increasing. As the units increase, this will further reduce the cost of goods manufactured due to achieving
higher levels of economies of scale, which will further improve the gross profit margins;
the Consolidated Entity achieved a profit during the financial year and it will further reduce corporate and
other non-sales resources without materially affecting revenue activities;
the Consolidated Entity’s Stage 1 and 2 of the Nanjing Facility have been completed and have been used as
security for its existing operating facility. As at the date of this report, RMB8.1 million (approximately AUD1.5
million) of the operating facility is still available for draw down if required;
the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate the Consolidated Entity will be cash flow positive
for the year ending 31 December 2014 and will enable the Consolidated Entity to pay its debts as and when they
fall due.
•
•
•
At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, the Directors are confident that the Consolidated
Entity and the Company will be able to continue operations into the foreseeable future. The financial report does
not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded assets and liabilities
amounts that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity and the Company not continue as going concerns.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated
financial statements, and have been applied consistently by all entities in the Consolidated Entity.
(b) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential
voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control
ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies
adopted by the Consolidated Entity.
Non-controlling interests in equity and results of the entities that are controlled by the Company are shown as a
separate item in the consolidated financial statements.
In note 25, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost and recoverable amount. Refer to Note (n).
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains and losses and inter-entity balances resulting from transactions with or between subsidiaries are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
(c) Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.

N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at 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 reporting date.
All differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to the profit & loss with the exception of differences on
foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken
directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in the profit & loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined.
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these overseas subsidiaries are translated into the presentation
currency of Vmoto at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the income statements are translated at
the weighted average exchange rates for the period where this rate approximates the rate at the date of the
transaction.
The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular
foreign operation is recognised in the profit & loss.
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax
(GST) payable to the taxation authority. Exchange of goods or services of the same nature without any cash
consideration are not recognised as revenue.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of goods to customers as this corresponds to the
transfer of significant risks and benefits of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those
goods.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
(e) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current
assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.
(f) Acquisition of assets
All assets acquired including plant and equipment and intangibles other than goodwill are initially recorded at their
cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs
directly attributable to the acquisition.
When equity instruments are issued as consideration, their market price at the date of acquisition is used as fair
value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity subject to the
extent of proceeds received, otherwise expensed.

N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
(g) Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum
of:
•
the consideration transferred;
• any non-controlling interest; and
•
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date
fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial
statements.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in
other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100%
interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most
circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at
the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (proportionate interest
method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated
in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is
included in investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-
generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not larger than an operating segment.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed
of.
Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the
carrying amounts of goodwill.
(h) Property, Plant and Equipment
• Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of assets may include
the cost of materials and direct labour, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working
condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which
they are located.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within
“other income” in profit or loss.
• Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the
item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Consolidated
Entity and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment
are recognised in the profit & loss as incurred.

N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
• Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each of
property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful
lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Consolidated Entity will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Land is not depreciated. Assets will be depreciated once the asset is in the condition necessary for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by management.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles
Office furniture & equipment
Building
Leasehold improvements
3 – 10 years
10 years
5 years
20 years
5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
•
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or
cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater 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.
(i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the
cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(j) Payables
Payables, including goods received and services incurred but not yet invoiced, are recognised at the nominal
amount when the Consolidated Entity becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets
or receipt of services.
(k) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or
payable to, the tax office is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising
from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the tax office are classified as
operating cash flows.

N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
(l) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure
incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to
their existing location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses.
(m) Operating Leases
Operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised on the Consolidated Entity’s statement of financial
position. Payments made under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss.
(n) Recoverable amount of assets
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Consolidated Entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable
amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual
asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the
recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
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.
(o) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs
associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount
or premium on settlement.
Gains and losses are recognised in the profit & loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.
(p) Share-based payment transactions
The Consolidated Entity provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Consolidated Entity in the form
of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over
shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
The Company operates an incentive scheme to provide these benefits, known as the Vmoto Employee Share Option
Plan (the “ESOP”).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at
which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black Scholes Option Valuation model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions
linked to the price of the shares of Vmoto Limited (“market conditions”).
39
V M O T O L I M I T E D
A B N 3 6 0 9 8 4 5 5 4 6 0
N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the
period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees
become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects
(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the
Directors of the Consolidated Entity, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available
information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met
as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional
upon a market condition.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had
not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of
the modification, as measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the
cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award
are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding weighted average number of options as at the reporting date is considered
not material and accordingly the basic loss per share is the same as the diluted loss per share.
(q) Employee benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from
employees’ services provided to reporting date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration, wage
and salary rates that the Consolidated Entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as
workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
(r) Income tax
Income tax expense recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income relates to current
tax and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences:
i.
the initial recognition of assets or liabilities 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; and
ii. differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( c o n t ’ d )
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on a different
tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
The Company and its subsidiaries have unused tax losses as at the reporting date. However, no deferred tax
balances have been recognised, as it is considered that asset recognition criteria have not been met at this time.
(s) Trademarks, licenses and production rights
Trademarks, licenses and production rights are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have an indefinite life and
are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
(t) Development Costs
Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to
deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs have a
finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life
of the project.
(u) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably
measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the
reporting period.
(v) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks and other short-term
highly liquid investments with maturities of 3 months or less.
(w) Comparative figures
This report relates to the year ended 31 December 2013. Comparatives are for the 6 months period ended 31
December 2012 as a result of the change in the Company’s financial year end from 30 June to 31 December, effective
31 December 2012.
(x) Critical judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Contingent liabilities
The Company is currently a defendant in one proceeding brought against it by a former employee in relation to the
employee’s past employment. Having considered legal advice, the Directors believe that the claims can be
successfully defended, without any losses (including for costs) being incurred by the Company.

The goodwill on acquiring E-Max in January 2010 and licenses, trademarks and production rights, which are
indefinitely live assets are allocated to the cash generating unit within the Chinese geographical location segment as
the Company’s manufacturing facility and main operations are located in China. The recoverable amount of the these
intangible assets have been determined using value in use method based on the net present value of projected
earnings before interest, tax and depreciation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by
senior management covering a three-year period and extrapolated to five years. The cash flow projections were
prepared based on past experience and contracts that are in place.
The pre-tax, risk free discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 15% (31 December 2012: 15%) and an average
growth rate used to extrapolate managements cash flow forecasts beyond three years is 3%. The calculated
recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the goodwill of E-Max such that no impairment of the goodwill
on acquisition of E-Max has occurred. Sensitivity analysis was performed by varying the discount rate applied to the
cash flow projections by 5%. The calculated recoverable amount still exceeds the carrying amount of these assets.
Management believe that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the
carrying amount of the goodwill on acquisition of E-Max to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

14. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Consolidated Entity manages its capital to ensure their ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve
returns to the shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Consolidated Entity is adjusted to achieve its goals whilst ensuring the lowest cost of the
capital.
Management monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio (net debt / total capital). During the year ended 31
December 2013, the Consolidated Entity’s strategy is to utilise its operating facility and also achieve its expansion
program. The gearing ratios at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 were as follows:
Total borrowings & trade and other payables
Less: cash and cash equivalents

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group
that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and
to assess their performance.
The continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity are predominantly in the scooter including electric and petrol
scooters and ATV manufacture and distribution industry.
In prior years, reported segments were based on the geographical segments of the Group, being Australia, Spain and
China. This assessment of identifiable segments has not changed in the current period, as management accounts and
forecasts submitted to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of
segment performance are split into these same components.
The scooter, ATV and engine segments are managed on a worldwide basis, but operate in three principal
geographical areas: Australia, China and Spain. In China, manufacturing facilities are operated in Nanjing.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Consolidated Entity’s principal financial instruments comprise bank and other loans, cash and short-term
deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Consolidated Entity’s operations.
The Consolidated Entity has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which
arise directly from its operations.
It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Consolidated Entity’s policy that no trading in derivative
instruments shall be undertaken.
Fair values
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial
statements approximates their fair values.

The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they
are summarised below.
Sensitivity analysis
In managing interest rate and currency risks, the Company endeavours to reduce the impact of short-term
fluctuations on the Company’s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange
and interest rates will have an impact on consolidated earnings, although the extent of that impact will depend on
the level of cash resources held by the Consolidated Entity. A general increase of one percentage point in interest
rates would not be expected to materially impact earnings.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Consolidated
Entity’s short term debt obligations.
Cash includes funds held in term deposits and cheque accounts during the year, which earned interest at rates
ranging between 0% and 2.35%, depending on account balances.
The following annual interest rates apply to the Consolidated Entity’s credit facilities:
Bank operating facility
7.8% variable
All other financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing.
At balance date, the Consolidated Entity had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable
interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

At 31 December, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held
constant, equity would have been affected as follows:

At this stage, the Consolidated Entity does not seek to hedge this exposure.
Credit risk
The credit risk on financial assets of the Consolidated Entity which have been recognised on the statement of
financial position is generally the carrying amount, net of any provision for impairment losses.
The Consolidated Entity continuously monitors credit risks arising from its trade receivables which are principally
with significant and reputable companies. It is the Consolidated Entity’s policy that credit verification procedures,
including assessment of credit ratings, financial position, past experience and industry reputation, are performed on
new customers that request credit terms. Risk limits are set for each customer and regularly monitored. Receivable
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to bad debts is
not significant.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
The total credit risk exposure of the Consolidated Entity could be considered to include the difference between the
carrying amount of the receivable and the realisable amount. At balance sheet date there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
financial asset in the balance sheet. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables are provided in
Note 6.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Consolidated Entity might encounter difficulty in settling its debts
or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity manages this risk through
the following mechanisms:
1.

3.

preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
maintaining a reputable credit profile; and
managing credit risk related to financial assets.

The Company is currently a defendant in a proceeding brought against the Company by a former employee in
relation to the employee’s past employment. Having considered legal advice, the Directors believe that the claim can
be successfully defended, without any losses (including for costs) being incurred by the Company.
19. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December 2013 was based on the profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders at $404,460 (six months ended 31 December 2012: $1,275,581 loss) and a weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended 31 December 2013 of 959,249,953 (31 December 2012: 751,746,826)

Director
DATED at PERTH this 28th day of March 2014
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Vmoto Ltd (“the Company”) and
Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the consolidated statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in
equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the
Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the
financial year.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of
the financial report 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 is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in
accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements,
that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing
Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether
the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial report 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical
pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
In our opinion:
a. The financial report of Vmoto Ltd and Controlled Entities is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
i.
giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and
of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
ii.
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001;
b. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in directors’ report of the year ended 31 December 2013.
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.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Vmoto Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2013, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
