M A N A G I N G D I R E C T O R’ S L E T T E R
Dear Shareholders,
I present to you Vmoto Limited’s Annual Report for the 2016 financial year.
FY2016 was a challenging year for Vmoto in which we were faced with continuing consumer nervousness resulting from
some regional governments in several Chinese cities implementing stricter rules on the use of electric two-wheel vehicles.
This impacted on Chinese domestic sales, whilst international sales were lower than anticipated due to delays in receipt
of expected orders and the launch of new models. As a result, the Board took the prudent decision to recognise
impairments, including for inventories, development costs, and other intellectual property, noting that with the exception
of goodwill, this position may be reversed in future periods with improved performance.
Despite this, the Company continued building on its foundations for future growth by investing heavily in product
development and international sales and marketing initiatives and we are encouraged by the reaction from existing and
potential customers (particularly internationally where margins are higher). We will look to consummate as many of these
sales as possible during FY2017 and in future years.
The Shanghai Jiye operation (Vmoto 51%, PowerEagle 49%) became operational at its leased facilities in Shanghai for the
full financial year and Jiye is now strategically placed to target e-commerce companies in China that require electric two-
wheel vehicles for their operations, as well as seeking to increase its distribution base into other cities. Coupled with our
wholly owned manufacturing facility in Nanjing, China, we have a total production capacity of approximately 450,000
two-wheel vehicles per annum, with no additional capex required, and are well positioned to meet demand for electric
two-wheel vehicles as this grows both domestically in China and internationally.
We have identified the scooter sharing and rental market as an excellent source of potential future revenue and, during
the year, Vmoto’s customer, LoopShare Ltd, www.loopscooters.com, commenced trial operations of a shared fleet of
electric scooters in the cities of Beirut, Lebanon and Okinawa, Japan. This is the first fleet of shared electric scooters utilising
the LoopShare technology worldwide and will determine operational parameters for a full scale rollout of the LoopShare
service. LoopShare aims to deploy field trials in other cities worldwide, followed by commercial rollouts planned for 2017.
Vmoto exhibited its current and latest range of high performance electric scooter and motorcycle products at several trade
fairs during the year, including the Intermot trade fair in Germany (www.intermot-cologne.com), one of the world’s largest
exhibitions and events for two-wheel vehicles. The Company received positive sales leads and feedbacks from potential
B2B and B2C distributors and customers across Europe and continues to progress potential orders. Additionally, a number
of existing and new international customers visited the factory to undertake trials and discuss future requirements, orders
for which are expected to flow through during FY2017.
Vmoto currently has distrbutors and customers in over 36 countries, inlcuding Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom and Uruguay and is continually adding to its customer base. Our pipeline of new business and opportunties in
the two-wheel electric vehicle space is the strongest it has ever been and I firmly believe that Vmoto has the foundations
and infrastructure in place to support increased demand as the electric vehicle market for both B2B and B2C customers
continues to grow on a global basis. The outlook for growth in 2017 is encouraging and management looks forward to
reporting positive developments throughout the year.
I would like to personally thank my fellow Directors, and express my gratitude to the Company’s management and staff
for their contribution during the 2016 financial year as well as the continued support from all our shareholders. We look
forward to a prosperous year in 2017.
Yours faithfully
Charles Chen
Managing Director

OVERVIEW
Vmoto Limited (ASX: VMT), the global electric vehicle manufacturing and distribution group specialising in “green”
electric powered two-wheel vehicles, provides the following operations review for the year ended 31 December 2016.
FY2016 was operationally a very busy year for Vmoto as the Company invested significant resources into developing new
models and participating in international market exhibitions. This time and investment is considered essential for Vmoto
to stay competitive in the growing electric two-wheel vehicle market and the levels of interest in the Company products
has been as positive as the Company could hope for.
Unfortunately the rewards from this work were not reflected in the FY2016 results but the Company is confident of seeing
them come through in future months and years.
Revenue dropped 24% to $36.3 million (FY15: $47.6 million) largely as a result of lower than anticipated orders from
international customers, Chinese consumer nervousness due to government regulations and the fluctuation of AUD:RMB
exchange rate (average A$1: RMB4.69 for FY2015; average A$1:RMB4.95 for FY2016), which impacted on the translation
of sales from trading currency to reporting currency.
Vmoto continued to attract interest from high quality international customers and successfully secured and supplied
products to a number of renowned international business groups. These include a significant European supermarket
group, LoopShare in North America and a large group focused on renting electric vehicles to fast food chains and postal
companies. Whilst international sales were down in FY2016, reflecting both the delay in orders and the launch of new
models, existing customer relationships continue to be strong, with repeat orders and new customers continuing to come
into the business. The Company has strengthened the international sales and marketing team in Nanjing, with
international sales growth being the primary focus.
In China, the Shanghai Jiye (Jiye) operation became fully established and operational at facilities in Shanghai. Jiye has
experienced lower margins on vehicles manufactured for the Chinese market due to additional marketing spend and price
discounting considered necessary to counter consumer nervousness due to regional governments in several Chinese cities
implementing stricter rules on the use of electric two-wheel vehicles. However, it should be noted that Jiye is strategically
placed to target e-commerce companies in China that require electric two-wheel vehicles for their operations, as well as
seeking to increase its distribution base into other cities.
Over the 12 month period to 31 December 2016, the Consolidated Entity’s net assets decreased 39% to $20.8 million (31
December 2015: $34.1 million). It should be noted that the Company engaged an independent external property valuation
company post 31 December 2016 to value the Company’s Nanjing land and Stage 1 & Stage 2 buildings. These land and
buildings are currently carried at cost on the balance sheet as at 31 December 2016 at $6.1 million pleasingly, the external
property valuation company has valued the Company’s Nanjing land and Stage 1 & Stage 2 buildings at $11.8 million,
which represents a valuation increment of $5.7 million.
As at 31 December 2016, the total operating facility drawn down was RMB5 million (approximately $1 million) and the
total undrawn operating facility available was RMB20 million (approximately $4 million).
As at 31 December 2016, the Company had cash of $4.4 million.
EXISTING MARKETS
During the period, the Company achieved total unit sales of 85,106 units of electric two-wheel vehicles across the Group,
down 4% from FY2015 (FY2015: 88,450) as it continued ramping up production across its domestic and international sales
channel. Of this, the Company sold approximately 77,348 units of electric two-wheel vehicles across China through the JV
and its external distributors.
Internationally, the Company continued its strong relationships with its B2B and B2C customers, with many placing orders
that will flow through in FY2017.

NEW MARKETS
During the period, the Company supplied Vmoto’s electric two-wheel vehicle products to a significant European
supermarket group with approximately 300 stores throughout Europe. The Company continues to supply to this group
and expects to receive further orders in FY2017 and to establish a long term sales channel through these stores.
As announced on 28 September 2015, the Company entered into an international supply agreement with LoopShare Ltd
(LoopShare) (formerly known as Saturna Green Systems Inc), a North American Telematics high-tech company, focused
on developing state-of-the-art wireless shared transportation and communication systems for electric two and three-wheel
vehicles. Following initial trials, testing and financing, LoopShare intends to purchase a minimum of 32,000 units of
Vmoto’s E-Max electric scooters fitted with LoopShare’s technology, platform and software over 5 years for use in
LoopShare’s Electric Scooter Sharing Project in North America and Europe. During the period, LoopShare commenced
trial operations of shared fleet of electric scooters in the cities of Beirut, Lebanon and Okinawa, Japan.
During the period, the Company supplied Vmoto’s electric two-wheel vehicle products to a large European group focused
on renting electric vehicles to fast food chains and postal companies. This group has operated in its industry for many
years and has secured significant rental contracts with a number of significant fast food chains and postal companies. The
Company continues to supply to this group and expect to receive more orders and to establish long term sales channel
through this business model.
During the period, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with a Spanish company to distribute, stock
and market the Company’s Vmoto and E-Max range of electric scooter products for the Spanish market.
In addition to the above, Vmoto continued to receive significant interest in our electric two-wheel vehicle products and
progressed significant new market entries, distribution and customer opportunities in Austria, Australia, Columbia,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Sweden and Uruguay.
CORPORATE
During the year the Company issued a total of 6,206,488 shares, comprising 2,320,067 shares to employees and consultants
of the Company in consideration for service provided, 86,420 shares to a Director in lieu of Director fees, 466,668 shares to
Directors following the vesting of performance rights and 3,333,333 shares to nominees of PowerEagle as tranche one
consideration for the JV.
The Company is continuing its search to identify an experienced Australian based non-executive Chairman to further
strengthen the Board and support the Company through its next phase of growth.
OUTLOOK
Vmoto is committed to executing its strategy of selling high value, high performance electric two-wheel vehicles to the
international B2B sector, including delivery, scooter sharing and scooter renting customers. Vmoto has the ability to
continue to win high quality international customers and the expectation of increased demand from our distributors and
customers, and the Company will remain focussed on increasing sales growth in FY2017.

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 two-wheel vehicles and manufactures a range of western designed electric two-wheel vehicles from its
own low cost manufacturing facilities in Nanjing, China and from leased facilities in Shanghai, 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 $36.3 million were recorded for the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 31 December 2016
(FY2015: $47.6 million). The revenue of the Consolidated Entity has decreased 24% compared to the year ended 31
December 2015, largely as a result of lower than anticipated orders from international customers, Chinese consumer
nervousness due to government regulations and the fluctuation of AUD:RMB exchange rate, which impacted on the
translation of sales from trading currency to reporting currency. During the year ended 31 December 2016, the
Consolidated Entity recorded a net loss of $14.1 million after income tax (FY2015: $753k), which included one-off/non-
cash costs of $150k of share based expenses, $617k of impairment of inventories in Jiye, $181k of impairment of inventories
due to closure of previous the Spanish operation, $994k of provision for doubtful loan to Kaiyang (the three-wheel and
four-wheel operation), $136k of impairment of investment in Kaiyang, $2.6 million of impairment of Jiye goodwill, $2.3
million of impairment of E-Max goodwill, trademarks and patents, $4.3 million of impairment of development costs and
$1.2 million of impairment in licenses. The underlying net loss for the year ended 31 December 2016 adding back these
one-off non-cash expenses was $1,657,466.
The following table provides a reconciliation between the statutory net loss after tax and underlying net loss after tax for
the year ended 31 December 2016:

Directors believe this information is useful to provide investors with transparency on the underlying performance of the
Company.
A more detailed review of operations for the year ended 31 December 2016 is set out in the Operations Review preceding
the Directors’ Report.
Review of Financial Position
The Consolidated Entity’s net assets have decreased by approximately $13.3 million during the year ended 31 December
2016.
Cash balances decreased by $2.3 million during the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily as a result of underlying net
loss after tax incurred during the year and higher prepayments to suppliers for inventories for the international markets.
Trade and other receivables have decreased by $6.5 million mainly due to more timely receipts from customers, fewer
sales on credit to customers and provision for doubtful debts in Jiye during the period.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T ( c o n t ’ d )
Inventories have increased by $2.4 million and prepayments have increased by $0.9 million mainly due to higher stock
level requirements of the JV and higher prepayments to suppliers for inventories for the international markets.
Intangible assets decreased by $1.7 million due to acquisition of PowerEagle trademark, recognition of valuation of
customer base as a result of acquisition of 51% interest in Jiye, impairments of goodwill, trademarks, patents, development
costs and licenses.
Trade and other payables increased by $3.5 million during the period mainly due to higher stock level requirements by
Jiye in which Jiye received inventories from suppliers in advance on credit as a result of better payment terms, and higher
level of deposits received from the customers in advance, the revenue for which will be recognised in FY2017.
Issued capital has increased by $1.2 million during the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily due to Tranche 1 shares
issued to nominees of PowerEagle for the acquisition of their trademark and shares issued to key management during the
year ended 31 December 2016.
No dividend has been declared or paid by the Company to the date of this Report in respect of the year ended 31 December
2016.

$1,765,320
$12,327,583
$14,092,903
1. Due to closure of Vmoto’s previous Spanish operation, the Company has relocated its inventories of $181,339 from
Spain to Germany and then subsequently to Italy for servicing its distributors and customers, and for sales and
marketing purposes in Europe. Due to the aging of these inventories, these inventories were impaired as the Company
continues to develop new models of electric scooter for European markets.
2. Fully paid ordinary shares were issued in December 2016 to employees of the Company and share based expenses of
$184,000 were recognised. As these fully paid ordinary shares are subject to an escrow period of three years, the share
based expenses and increase in equity should be accounted over the three year vesting period. Share based expenses
of $184,000 have been derecognised and share based expenses of $4,568 over December 2016 have been recognised to
comply with the requirements of the accounting standards.
3. The Consolidated Entity provided loans of RMB5 million ($994,313) to Jiangsu Kaiyang in FY2015. The loans are
interest free and repayable in two years. As Jiangsu Kaiyang is still at an early stage of development and continues to
incur loss, the repayment of loans provided are expected to be delayed to future periods when Jiangsu Kaiyang
operations achieve profitability. The Company has recognised a provision for impairment loss of $994,313 on its loans
to Jiangsu Kaiyang, as included in the statutory financial report.
4. The Consolidated Entity holds 15% of the ordinary share capital of Jiangsu Kaiyang. Jiangsu Kaiyang continues to
focus on developing new customers, markets and models of electric three-wheel vehicle and have incurred loss in the
year ended 31 December 2016. The Company has recognised a provision for impairment loss of $135,515 on its interest
in Jiangsu Kaiyang, as included in the statutory financial report.
5. During the period, goodwill of $2,556,477 has been recognised as a result of acquisition of the 51% interest in Jiye. Due
to consumer nervousness resulting from some regional governments in several Chinese cities implementing stricter
rules on the use of electric two-wheel vehicles, and lower sales and margins than expected, the Company has
recognised an impairment of goodwill of $2,556,477, as included in the statutory financial report.

6. During the period, the salaries and wages costs for December 2016 in Jiye were not been recognised in the Appendix
4E as these were paid in January 2017. The Company has recognised $154,966 of Jiye December 2016 salaries and
wages expenses and included in the statutory financial report. The net effect to the Company of this expense is $79,032
due to an adjustment for non-controlling interest.
7. As at 31 December 2016, $666,137 of Jiye trade receivables were over 90 days past due. The Company has recognised
a provision for doubtful debts of $666,137, as included in the statutory financial report. The net effect of this provision
for doubtful debts to the Company is $339,730 after adjustment of $326,407 to non-controlling interest.
8. During the period, unit numbers and margins on international sales were lower than anticipated., The Company has
taken a prudent approach to recognise impairment of $7,801,079 on its licenses, development costs and E-Max
goodwill, trademarks and patents, and included in the statutory financial report.

1. As at 31 December 2016, $666,137 of Jiye trade receivables were over 90 days past due. The Company has
recognised a provision for doubtful debts of $666,137, as included in the statutory financial report. The net effect
of this provision for doubtful debts to the Company is $339,730 after an adjustment of $326,407 for non-controlling
interest.
2. Due to closure of Vmoto’s previous Spanish operation, the Company has relocated its inventories of $181,339 from
Spain to Germany and then subsequently to Italy for servicing its distributors and customers, and for sales and
marketing purposes in Europe. Due to the aging of these inventories, these inventories were impaired as the
Company continues to develop new models of electric scooter for European markets.
3.
In the Appendix 4E, goodwill of $2,728,373 has been recognised as a result of the acquisition of 51% interest in
Jiye. An adjustment of $171,896 has been made to the Jiye goodwill to comply with the requirements of the
accounting standards. Due to consumer nervousness resulting from some regional governments in several
Chinese cities implementing stricter rules on the use of electric two-wheel vehicles, and lower sales and margins
than expected, the Company has recognised an impairment of goodwill of $2,556,477, as included in the statutory
financial report.
4.
In the Appendix 4E, a customer base value of $1,753,164 and deferred tax liabilities of $438,291 has been recognised
as a result of acquisition of 51% interest in Jiye. An adjustment of $206,276 has been made to customer base and
$51,569 has been made to deferred tax liabilities to comply with the requirements of the accounting standards.

5. During the period, international sales and margins were lower than anticipated due to the delay of orders. Due to
lower sales and margins than expected, the Company has taken a prudent approach to recognised impairments
of $7,801,079 on its licenses, development costs and E-Max goodwill, trademarks and patents, as included in the
statutory financial report.
6. During the period, Tranche 1 shares were issued to nominees of PowerEagle for the acquisition of their trademark
at a deemed issue price of $0.30 per share. The share price on the date of shares were issued was $0.34, and as a
result $133,333 has been recognised to intangible assets and issued capital to comply with the requirements of the
accounting standards.
7. The Consolidated Entity provided loans of RMB5 million ($994,313) to Jiangsu Kaiyang in FY2015. The loans are
interest free and repayable in two years. As Jiangsu Kaiyang is still at an early stage of development and continues
to incur loss, the repayment of loans provided are expected to be delayed to future periods when Jiangsu Kaiyang
operations achieve profitability. The Company has recognised a provision for impairment loss of $994,313 on its
loans to Jiangsu Kaiyang, as included in the statutory financial report.
8. The Consolidated Entity holds 15% of the ordinary share capital of Jiangsu Kaiyang. Jiangsu Kaiyang continues
to focus on developing new customers, markets and models of electric three-wheel vehicle and have incurred
losses for the year ended 31 December 2016. The Company has recognised a provision for impairment loss of
$135,515 on its interest in Jiangsu Kaiyang, as included in the statutory financial report.
9. During the period, the salaries and wages costs for December 2016 in Jiye were not recognised in the Appendix
4E as these were paid in January 2017. The Company has recognised $154,966 of salaries and wages payable for
December 2016 and included in the statutory financial report. The net effect to the Company of this expense is
$79,032 after an adjustment for $75,933 to non-controlling interest.
10. Fully paid ordinary shares were issued in December 2016 to employees of the Company and increase in equity of
$184,000 were recognised. As these fully paid ordinary shares are subject to an escrow period of three years, the
share based expenses and increase in equity should be accounted over the three year vesting period. Increase in
equity of $184,000 have been derecognised and increase in equity of $4,568 over December 2016 have been
recognised to comply with the requirements of the accounting standards.
11. During the period, 1 million performance rights lapsed, therefore $276,000 of the option premium reserve has been
adjusted to issued capital in Appendix 4E. The $276,000 has been reclassified from issued capital to accumulated
losses to comply with the requirements of the accounting standards.
Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years
The Company’s business strategies for future financial years include:
• Collaborate and work closely with companies that have sound business models supporting the demand for
electric two-wheel vehicles including electric scooter sharing and rental companies
• Continue to improve the Company’s electric two-wheel vehicle products to attract high quality international
business group customers
With the success of hi-tech sharing companies such as Uber, Mobike and Zipcar, technological innovation and inner-city
transportation crisis, the sharing economy is booming around the world and the consumers and users of electric two-
wheel vehicles are more accepting of shared fleets. In addition, consumer and business group preferences are shifting from
ownership to shares access. It is anticipated that working together with our customers to rent electric two-wheel vehicles
to these business groups and provide shared fleet solutions will fast track the increase in revenue for the Company.
The Company also expects to continuously improve its existing electric two-wheel vehicle products and develop new
electric two-wheel vehicle products to remain competitive in the electric vehicle markets and win high quality international
business group customers such as the significant European supermarket group with approximately 300 stores in Europe
and LoopShare.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T ( c o n t ’ d )
The Company also expects to increase its global sales by targeting business to business (“B2B”) customers especially in
the delivery and fast food sectors, and appointing more international distributors. The Company is in discussions with a
number of interested parties in countries including Austria, Australia, Columbia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Israel, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Sweden and Uruguay.
We are also continually considering ways of reducing the Company’s cost of manufacturing and operating costs by
improving efficiency.
The potential material business risks faced by the Company that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of
the Company and how the Company manages these risks include:
•
Technological obsolescence – given the Company operates in an industry involving green and electric vehicle
technology, any technological obsolescence could have an 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 monitor the market. We see this risk as minimal as the
Company is constantly developing new technology and functions in its electric two-wheel vehicle products and
has the protection of trademarks and patents.
• Continued reduction in demand from China - given our reliance on the Chinese economy, reduction in demand
from China market for our electric two-wheel vehicle products could have impact on our financial results to
mitigate this risk. The Company is actively developing and distributing its products in Europe and is expanding
sales in the Asian and North America regions. In addition, the Company is investigating the option of expanding
sales into other countries and working with companies that have new, innovative and sound business models to
diversify its sales channel and reduce reliance on the 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 2016.
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.
Events Subsequent to Balance Date
Issue Tranche 2 Shares to Acquire PowerEagle Trademark
On 31 January 2017, the Company issued 11,764,706 fully paid ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of $0.085 per share
to nominees of PowerEagle as Tranche 2 consideration to acquire 100% of the PowerEagle trademark as announced on 23
December 2015.
Other than the above and as noted elsewhere in the financial statements, there has not arisen in the interval between the
end of the financial period and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely,
in the opinion of the Directors, to affect significantly the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those
operations, or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in future financial years.

This remuneration report outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the
Consolidated Entity.
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, key management and executives for 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 Charles Chen
• Mr Ivan Teo
• Mr Oliver Cairns
• Mr Kaijian Chen
• Ms Shannon Coates
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 Shuguang Han (General Manager)
• Mr Zhengjie Wu (Vice General Manager, resigned 31 October 2016)
• Mr Leon Wan (Vice General Manager, appointed 31 July 2016)
• Mr Fei Wu (Sales Manager)
• Ms Susan Xie (Sales Manager)
Overview of remuneration policies
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 may seek 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 established 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.
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.

R E M U N E R A T I O N R E P O R T ( c o n t ’ d )
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 retainer or 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
Shares
During the year ended 31 December 2016, 450,000 shares were granted to Key Management Personnel to motivate them
and to recognise their efforts in the year ended 31 December 2016. The shares granted to Key Management Personnel are
subject to a three year escrow period.
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.

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.

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 2016 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 31 March 2017.
(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. 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)
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption
of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance
or position of the group during the financial year.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the group for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2016. The
group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant
to the group, are set out below:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces
all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset
shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to
collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial
instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-
trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI').
29

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 )
For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own
credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting
requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the
entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance.
Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has
increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard
introduces additional new disclosures. The group is currently continuing to assess the impact of this changes.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides
a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either
written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract;
determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the
transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each
distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue
when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than
adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of
the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for
promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an
appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance
obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a
contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance
and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those
contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The group is
currently continuing to assess the impact of this changes.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces
AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to
exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present
value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term
leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture)
where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are
expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised,
adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future
restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a
depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease
liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under
AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before
Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by
interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash
flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating
or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor
accounts for leases. The group is currently continuing to assess the impact of this changes.

(v)
Going concern basis
The Consolidated Entity has recorded a loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2016 of $14,092,903 (profit after
tax for the year ended 31 December 2015: $753,313). At 31 December 2016, the Consolidated Entity had a working
capital surplus of $8,886,503 (31 December 2015: $19,079,190).
•
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 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, RMB20 million (approximately $4 million)
of the operating facility is still available for draw down if required; and
the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate the Consolidated Entity will be cash flow positive
for the year ending 31 December 2017 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 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 23, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost and recoverable amount. Refer to Note (o).
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.
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.

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 )
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) Business Combination
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets
transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquire and the equity
instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value,
except that:
• deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based
payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire
are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and
•
• assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any)
over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after
reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the
fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in
profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of
measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are
measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair
value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are
adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are
adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed
one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as
measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent
consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement
is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at
subsequent reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, or AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is
remeasured to its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss.
Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in
other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that
interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete.
Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities
are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition
date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that 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 )
(h) 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.
(i) 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.
(j) 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.
(k) 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.
(l) 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 )
(m) 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.
(n) 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.
(o) 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.
(p) 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.
(q) 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”).
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”).

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 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.
(r) Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those
policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,
which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing
control.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial
statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as
held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5. Under the equity method, an investment in
an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate
or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in
that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net
investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional
losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the
investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture,
any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.
Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the
investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is
acquired.
The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with
respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of
the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’ as
a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with
its carrying amount, Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any
reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount
of the investment subsequently increases.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or
a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former
associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair
value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 139.
The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was
discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the
associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint
venture. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in
relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other
comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the
related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification
adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.
The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint
venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no re-measurement to fair
value upon such changes in ownership interests.
When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture but the Group continues to use the
equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been
recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would
be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
When a group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the
transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only
to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.
(s) Available-for-sale financial assets
The Group has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded on an active market but that are classified as
available-for-sale financial assets and stated at fair value (because the directors consider that fair value can be reliably
measured). Fair value is determined in the manner described in note aa. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair
value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with
the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains
and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is
determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve
is reclassified to profit or loss.
The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that
are recognised in profit or loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign
exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(t) 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.
(u) 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.
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.
(v)
Intangibles
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.
Patents
Patents acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their
fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their costs). Subsequent to initial recognition, patents acquired
in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses,
on the same basis as patents that are acquired separately. The patents acquired in a business combination are deemed
to have useful lives of 5 years.
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their costs). Subsequent to initial
recognition, customer contracts acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as patents that are acquired separately. The
customer contracts acquired in a business combination are deemed to have useful lives of 10 years.

(w) 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.
The estimated useful lives of development costs for the current and comparative periods are 3 years. Amortisation
methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(x) 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.
(y) 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.
(z) Comparative figures
This report relates to the year ended 31 December 2016. Comparatives are for the year ended 31 December 2015.
(aa) Fair value of assets and liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis,
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
(ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement
date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific
asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using
one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable
market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie
the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market,
the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises
the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into
account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the
asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and
best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial
instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the
respective note to the financial statements.

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 )
Valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation
techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of
sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured.
The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation
approaches:
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single
discounted present value.
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing
the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives
priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.
Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and
reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered
observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best
information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair
value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the
measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date.
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more
valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If
one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

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 Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
(i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or
(ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
(i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances
occurred.
(ab) 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.
Impairment of goodwill and other indefinite intangible assets
Determining whether goodwill is impaired required an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to
which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash
flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
The carrying amount of goodwill at 31 December 2016 was nil (31 December 2015: A$1,414,951).
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and patents
The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and patents at the end of each
reporting period. During the current year, the directors determined that the useful lives of property, plant and
equipment and patents are deemed to be no changed.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes in relation to business combination acquisition
As part of business combination, assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for reporting purposes. The Directors
have determined the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.
In estimating the fair value of plant and equipments, the Group uses Level 3 inputs to perform the valuation.
In estimating the fair value of customer base, the Group uses Level 3 inputs to perform the valuation.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes in relation to investments available-for-sale
In estimating the fair value of the available-for-sale investments, the Group uses Level 3 fair value hierarchy to
perform the valuation.

The goodwill arising on acquisition, licenses, trademarks, patents and production rights are allocated to two cash
generating units being manufacture of two-wheel vehicle within the Chinese geographical location segment as the
Company’s manufacturing facility and main operations are located in China.
Nanjing
The recoverable amount of 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 one-year period. A growth rate of 6% was used to extrapolate
managements cash flow forecast for further 4 years and a growth rate of 0% was applied for another 9 years. The pre-
tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 8.4% (31 December 2015: 15%). The cash flow projections were
prepared based on past experience and contracts that are in place.
The calculated recoverable amount for the Nanjing segment is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill,
trademarks, patents and development costs and impairment losses of $7,801,079 have been recognised and included
in the profit and loss statement.
Shanghai
The recoverable amount of 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 one-year period. An average growth rate of 6% was used to
extrapolate managements cash flow forecast for further 4 years and a growth rate of 0% was applied for another 9
years. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 8.4%. The cash flow projections were prepared
based on past experience and contracts that are in place.
The calculated recoverable amount for Shanghai Jiye segment is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill on
acquisition of 51% interest in Jiye and an impairment loss of $2,556,477 has been recognised and included in the profit
and loss statement. Sensitivity analysis was performed by varying the discount rate applied to the cash flow projections
by 2%. This would result in the aggregate carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeding the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit by approximately $756,000. The director estimate that a decrease in growth rate by
2% would result in the aggregate carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeding the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit by approximately $324,000. The directors believe that any reasonably possible change in other
key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the Shanghai’s carrying amount to exceed its
recoverable amount.

(i) The Consolidated Entity holds 15% of the ordinary share capital of Jiangsu Kaiyang, a company focused on
designing, manufacturing and distributing three-wheel and four-wheel electric vehicles. The Directors of the
Company do not consider that the Consolidated Entity is able to exercise significant influence over Jiangsu
Kaiyang as the other 85% of the ordinary share capital is held by other shareholders, who also manage the day-
to-day operations of that company. Jiangsu Kaiyang continue to focus on developing new customers, markets
and models of electric three-wheel vehicle and have incurred loss in the year ended 31 December 2016. The fair
value was determined by the directors based on the latest financial position of Kaiyang (Level 3 fair value
hierarchy). The Company have recognised a provision for impairment loss of $135,514 on its interest in Jiangsu
Kaiyang and included in the profit and loss statement.

(ii) The Consolidated Entity provided loans of RMB5 million ($994,313) to Jiangsu Kaiyang in FY2015. The loans
are interest free and repayable in two years. As Jiangsu Kaiyang is still at an early stage of development and
continues to incur losses, the repayment of loans provided are expected to be delayed to future periods when
Jiangsu Kaiyang operations achieve profitability. The Company has recognised a provision for impairment loss
of $994,313 on its loans to Jiangsu Kaiyang, as included in the profit and loss statement.

capital.
Management monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio (debt/total capital). During the year ended 31
December 2016, the Consolidated Entity’s strategy is to utilise lowest cost of the capital from the capital markets and
continuously negotiating lower interest cost with provider of its operating facility to achieve its expansion program.

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 electric two-wheel vehicles
manufacture and distribution industry.
Reported segments were based on the geographical segments of the Consolidated Entity, being Australia and China.
The 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 components.
The electric two-wheel vehicles segment is managed on a worldwide basis, but operates in two principal geographical
areas: Australia and China. In China, manufacturing facilities are operated in Nanjing and Shanghai. The following
table presents revenue and profit or loss in relation to geographical segments for the twelve month periods ended 31
December 2016 and 31 December 2015:

20. 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.

20. 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 2.1%, depending on account balances.
The following annual interest rates apply to the Consolidated Entity’s credit facilities:
Bank operating facility
5.08% 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:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Financial liabilities
Bank operating facility

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.
At 31 December, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant,
pre-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

The following sensitivity is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.
At 31 December 2016, 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.

20. 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.
2.
3.
4.

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.

of expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development in EV markets. The benefits are not recognised
separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

DATED at PERTH this 31st day of March 2017
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Vmoto Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Vmoto Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries
(“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31
December 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion:
a.
the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31
December 2016 and of its financial performance for the year then ended;
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.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those
standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 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 Group 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.
Independent Auditor’s Report

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.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2016, but does not include the financial report and
our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Vmoto Limited (Continued)
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 Note 1, the directors also
state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that
the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 the 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 Group’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 Group’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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Vmoto Limited (Continued)
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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
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
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December
2016. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration
report in accordance with s 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.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Vmoto Limited, for the year ended 31 December 2016, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
