REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
4DS Memory Limited (ASX: 4DS), with facilities located in Silicon Valley, is a semiconductor development company of non-volatile memory technology, pioneering Interface Switching ReRAM, for next generation gigabyte Storage Class Memory. Established in 2007, 4DS owns a patented IP portfolio, comprising 20 US patents granted and 3 patents pending, which has been developed in-house to create high density Storage Class Memory. 4DS has a joint development agreement with Western Digital subsidiary HGST, a global storage leader, which accelerates the evolution of 4DS’ technology. 4DS also has a development agreement with Belgium based imec.
Highlights During the Half Year
-
(A) Patent Granted - The Company announced the granting of its 20th patent in the USA
-
(B) Update on imec Collaboration
-
(C) USA Marketing Roadshow
-
(D) The Company completed a successful placement of $3.275 million
-
(A) Patent Grant
On 18 July 2018 announced the granting of its 20[th] USA patent. The invention relates generally to the fabrication processes of resistive and magnetic memory cells. The Company continues to ensure that the intellectual property is patent protected with three more patents pending.
- (B) Update on imec Collaboration
The Company is striving to achieve a production process that can be duplicated without fail by any high-volume highdensity memory maker that uses the same production equipment.
Following additional work internally and at imec, management is confident that it will demonstrate a production compatible process for Interface Switching ReRAM technology for Storage Class Memory on imec’s megabit test chip on budget and on time during 2019. The Company has proven the physics relating to its core technology in multiple R&D settings.
Multiple iterations were carefully planned in collaboration agreement with imec to accomplish this transition to production equipment. Such iterations are typical in the semiconductor industry.
During the period the Company reported both parties had rapidly identified some process modifications required to enhance the development of the second 300mm wafer lot. As recently reported this process remains on track and the next wafer lot will be available for analysis in Q1 2019.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY
The interim financial report ( Report ) of 4DS Memory Limited ( 4DS Memory ) (the Company ) and it’s controlled entities (the Group ) ( Consolidated Entity ) for the half year ended 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 20 February 2019.
4DS is a listed public company, trading on the Australia Securities Exchange, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The Group’s principal place of business and registered office is located at Level 2, 50 Kings Park Road, West Perth Western Australia 6005, Australia.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
This consolidated Report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34.
This consolidated Report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by 4DS Memory during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The Report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
The Report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. For the purposes of preparing the interim financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
The same accounting policies and methods have been consistently applied by the Consolidated Entity in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.
a) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
In the Financial Period, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. It has been determined by the Company that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to Company accounting policies. No retrospective change in accounting policy or material reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The Standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business models whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets that are 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 investments (that are not held-for trading or contingent consideration recognised in business combination) in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’). Despite these requirements, a financial asset maybe irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that related to the entity’s own risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch).

ACN 145 590 110
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
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 use an ‘expected credit loss (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using 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. For receivables, a simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the Standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new-contract base revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts customers are presented in an entity’s performance and the customer’s payment. Customer acquisition costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
Going Concern
The Group has net assets of $4,587,802 (30 June 2018: $3,174,842) as at 31 December 2018 and incurred a loss of $2,318,039 (31 December 2017: $2,089,090) and net operating cash outflow of $2,139,822 (31 December 2017: $1,307,715) for the period ended 31 December 2018.
The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and future commitments as and when they fall due is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise sufficient working capital to ensure the continued implementation of the Group’s business plan.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position, the Directors have had regard to the fact that the Company has, or in the Directors’ opinion will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.
In the event that the Group does not achieve the above actions, there exists significant uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
TO THE MEMBERS OF 4DS MEMORY LIMITED

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of 4DS Memory Limited (the company) and controlled entities (consolidated entity) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the Directors’ Declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 31 December 2018, or during the half year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of 4DS Memory Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001. As the auditor of 4DS Memory Limited and the entities it controlled during the half year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
