Chairman's Letter
Dear Valued Shareholders
I take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders in Advanced Nano Technologies Limited ('ANO'). In particular
-
Our key distributors for their support and growth in sales in our products particularly Devereaux Specialities and Neochem.
-
The work undertaken by Uniquest and their contribution to developing potential new products with our patents.
-
Our hard working staff who have worked through very difficult circumstances over the past twelve months with changes in management and uncertainity over the manufacturing future. We are pleased that we have resolved this and the business will remain in Perth.
-
We would like to thank MERCK for their renewed support and trust in our business and we hope that the business partnership will continue for many years.
-
I would like to thank our outgoing Chairman Rade Dudorovic. Rade joined the Board in 2012 when the business was sustaining significant losses and the Board had to seriously consider going concern issues. He has managed to stem the losses, almost achieving profit in FY2016 and building a platform from where the business could achieve this year's result and the opportunity to significantly grow profitability into the future.
-
Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders. I appreciate their continuous input to the company and their support of the Board and the initiatives we are trying to implement to succeed for all shareholders.
I look to next year with great confidence that the business will continue to grow.

Managing Director's Review
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Advanced Nano Technologies Limited ('ANO') has recorded a Net Profit After Tax of $561,174 , its first financial year trading profit in its history. The profit was achieved due to the following initiatives:
-
An increase in Zinclear revenue of $510,853 (14.32%) despite 3 months of no sales due to a forced change in precursor suppliers.
-
An increase in Alusion sales of $118,574 (36.25%) through the successful commercial negotiation of amendments to the FDA completed in 2016.
-
A reduction in wages expenses of 30.3%
-
A reduction in operating expenses of 17.39%
-
A reduction in directors fees of 18.38%
-
The result includes an impairment of fixed assets of $74,623, a foreign exchange loss of $117,472 and the loss on sale of old stock of $162,317.
-
Cash balance as at 30 June 2017 was $908,287 (FY16 $1,196,195).
COMMERCIAL OVERVIEW
ZinClear®
Revenue in Zinclear range of poducts continues to grow with a 14.32% increase in sales. We appreciate the continued support of Devereaux Specialities, our long term distribution partner in the US who have increased their sales and anticipate further growth in 2018. ANO is in the process of rebuilding its distribution network in Europe, where sales from current distributors have been slow with the exception of our German distributor, Neochem.
Alusion®
MERCK KGaA of Germany (“MERCK”) owns the exclusive global marketing rights to Alusion® for various applications, including cosmetics and coatings pursuant to a Licence and Development Agreement executed between ANO and MERCK in April 2009 (“MERCK Agreement”).
In December 2016, ANO successfully negotiated amendments to the FDA agreement executed in 2012. ANO will continue to produce Alusion until September 2018. Over the past six months, ANO has worked very hard to improve the commercial relationship with MERCK and are assisting MERCK with some old research completed in 2009. We have experienced manufacturing delays with a piece of equipment which would have taken approximately six months to repair. We have sourced the same piece of equipment from Italy and expect to recommence production in early August 2017, with delays for only seven weeks. This new equipment will enable us to double production of Alusion We are very grateful for MERCK's support through this delay and are in discussions with them to extend the production of Alusion until September 2019 and perhaps further. There is a long term royalty agreement in place if the FDA agreement is not extended.
US Manufacturing
ANO is planning to commence full scale production in the US in October 2017. Ther have been some technical delays, and equipment was required to be shipped to the US in June 2017 to assist in the manufacturing process. Our US partners have been very helpful particularly the R & D Department who have assisted in the changes to our new SPF 50+ sunscreen. When US manufacturing commences, it will generate further operational efficiencies, reduce logistic times to the US & Europe, and result in a reduction in the global sales price to all key distributors. Importantly, we have removed the upper limit production capacity which allows for significant growth in sales.
Australian Manufacturing
After careful consideration of all manufacturing options in Australia, the Board is currently negotiating a new long term lease at 112 Radium St. We anticipate the closure of 108 Radium St. to be finalised once full scale production in the US starts. The equipment will be dismantled and transferred to 112 Radium St. This transition will create further operational cost savings as we successfuly manufacture both Alusion & Zinclear out of one facility. However, there may be some further impairments to our fixed assets as we attempt to sell equipment no longer required in FY18.

Managing Director's Review
COMMERCIAL OVERVIEW (continued)
Patents
During FY17, ANO has successfully filed three new patents - one in Battery technology, one XPA end formulation recipe and are relating to 3D Ceramics and renewed three other key patents. Further new patents are expected to be filed in FY18. Much of the historical research has been completed with the assistance from the University of Western Australia who have been long term shareholders of ANO until the upcoming AGM. We have now partnered with Uniquest in Brisbane who will be undertaking a number of projects to further develop the patent applications in FY18. In addition to Uniquest, the University of Newcastle are looking at one particular patent and we plan to engage Universities in the US in FY18 to look at a patent application for the mining industry. Further work will be conducted with 3D Ceramic printing applications of Zirconia with overseas manufacturers.
PRODUCT REVIEW
Chemist Network
Prior to FY17, ANO had spent over $3.0 million in providing formulation support to its distributors, including the development of end formulations, with only one end formulation (olivia sunscreen) developed and not approved. With the benefit of hindsight, the Board recognises that a significant proportion of this expenditure could have been capitalised in FY16 and FY17, to reflect the value of the IP which was created and which has formed the basis for the development of the current range of end formulations. Going forward, the Board has made a decision that the development costs of end formulations will be capitalised to better reflect their impact on the future revenues of the business.
In twelve months, ANO has developed a global chemist network of 28 chemists with 11 chemists currently developing 29 end formulations. The anticipated cost of this development of the 29 end formulations will be less than $500,000 including full regulatory approvals for most of these end formulations.
FY 18 STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
The key priorities for FY18 are to continue the strategic initiatives put in place by the Board in June 2016.
-
Increase the range of zinc based active ingredients and dispersions
-
Establish new distribution partners in Europe which is a key market for our Zinclear range of products
-
Finalise the regulatory approvals of a range of the end formulations currently being developed by our chemists and license or sell approved end formulations.
-
Continue to develop our patent portfolio and work with local and overseas universities to test the current viability of the projects
-
Finalise the transition of manufacturing to the US.
-
Continue discussions with MERCK on the possible extension of Alusion manufacturing beyond September 2018.
-
Close 108 Radium St. and transition to 112 Radium St. without losing overall Australian capacity and achieve further operational cost savings

Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, and at a remuneration level within market rates.
Structure
The Company's Constitution and the ASX Business Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-executive directors is $350,000 exclusive of Superannuation Guarantee Levy.

Remuneration policy
Structure
Remuneration consists of the following key elements
-
Fixed remuneration;
-
Other remuneration such as superannuation; and
-
Discretionary bonus
Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, and at a remuneration level within market rates.
Structure
The Board believes that, at this stage of the Group's development, and in light of the size of the Group and its executive team, senior manager and executive director remuneration should be comprised of the following three components:
-
Fixed salary and benefits, including superannuation;
-
Short-term performance incentives (bonus payments); and
-
Long-term performance incentives (such as options, shares or performance rights)
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board considers external benchmarking information to help ensure that the Group provides a competitive and acceptable remuneration level and that the market value for executives and senior managers in similar companies is considered taking into account the work that they are required to perform.
Fixed salary and benefits
The level of executive remuneration changed during the year due to the movements in the Executive Team. The details of the changes are outlined in the remuneration table below.
Short term performance incentives
Senior managers and executives may be eligible for bonus payments from time to time at the discretion of the Board, if the Board considers that any executive's contribution warrants such recognition. No bonuses have been awarded in the 2017 financial year.
Long-term performance incentives
There are currently no formal long term performance incentives in place with key management personnel and directors.

Company performance, Shareholder Wealth and Key Management Personnel Remuneration
The Board is cognisant of the link between Directors', and other key management personnel remuneration to the achievement of strategic goals and performance of the Group. In setting remuneration policy the Group seeks to align key management personnel rewards with overall shareholder value creation.
The Board reviews senior management remuneration on a regular basis to ensure base remuneration and any performance payments are directly linked to the achievement of profit contribution targets.
Details of shareholder returns are provided below. Given the stage of commercialisation of the Group's products and technologies, shareholder returns have been adversely impacted by ongoing investment in research and product development.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Performance conditions linked to remuneration
The key performance indicators (KPIs) are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with key management personnel to ensure support. The measures are specifically tailored to the area each individual is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greatest potential for the Group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long-term goals.
Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group's goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the following year.
The satisfaction of the financial performance conditions are based on a review of the audited financial statements of the Group, as such figures reduce any risk of contention relating to payment eligibility. The Board does not believe that performance conditions should include a comparison with factors external to the Group at this time.
The following table of benefits and payments details, in respect to the 2017 and 2016 financial years, the components of remuneration for each member of the key management personnel (KMP) of the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017
The financial report covers the consolidated financial statements and notes of Advanced Nano Technologies Ltd and its controlled entities ('the Group'). Advanced Nano Technologies Ltd is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia and whose shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange Limited.
Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 7 August 2017.
The separate financial statements and notes of the parent entity, Advanced Nano Technologies Ltd, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Parent entity summary is included in note 4.
1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 .
These financial statements and associated notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and performance of controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.
Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of these financial statements.
Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows where the accounting policies used by that entity were different from those adopted by the consolidated entity. All controlled entities have a June financial year end.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the parent has control. Control is established when the parent is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity.
A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements.
(b) Income Tax
ANO and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary has formed an income tax consolidation group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2015.
The tax expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2017
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(b) Income Tax
relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year).
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax consequences relating to a non-monetary asset carried at fair value are determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered through sale.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.
(c) Comparative Amounts
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.
Where a change in comparatives has also affected the opening retained earnings previously presented in a comparative period, an opening consolidated statement of financial position at the earliest date of the comparative period has been presented.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(d) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
Raw Materials
Purchase cost is determined using the first-in-first-out basis and is net of any rebates and discounts received.
Finished Goods and Work-in-progress
Cost of direct material and labour and a proportion of overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the costs necessary to make the sale. Costs are assigned in a first-in-first-out basis. Net realisable value is estimated using the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date and inventory is written down through an obsolescence provision if necessary.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Classes of property, plant and equipment are measured using the cost model as specified below.
Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured using the cost model.
Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life to the Group, commencing when the asset is ready for use.
Leased assets and leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or their estimated useful life.
The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:
| Fixed asset class | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Plant and Equipment | 3-15 years |
At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.
When an asset is disposed, the gain or loss is calculated by comparing proceeds received with its carrying amount and is taken to profit or loss.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(f) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date that the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).
Financial Assets
Financial assets are assigned to the different categories on initial recognition, depending on the characteristics of the instrument and its purpose. A financial instrument’s category is relevant to the way it is measured and whether any resulting income and expenses are recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the ‘finance income’ or ‘finance costs’ line item respectively.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets.
After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group’s trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Significant receivables are considered for impairment on an individual asset basis when they are past due at the reporting date or when objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
The amount of the impairment is the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.
For trade receivables, impairment provisions are recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in profit or loss. When confirmation has been received that the amount is not collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated impairment provision.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.
In some circumstances, the Group renegotiates repayment terms with customers which may lead to changes in the timing of the payments, the Group does not necessarily consider the balance to be impaired, however assessment is made on a case-by-case basis.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income line

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2017
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(f) Financial instruments
items "finance costs" or "finance income".
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired. Although the Group uses derivative financial instruments in economic hedges of currency and interest rate risk, it does not hedge account for these transactions.
The Group‘s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables (including finance lease liabilities), which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of the reporting period the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial assets at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
Impairment on loans and receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance accounts, all other impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost are taken directly to the asset.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.
(g) Research and development costs
Work-in-Progress - Formulation Development Costs
The development of end formulation products comprises a number of phases including initial development, customer testing and feedback, testing processes including stability and SPF testing and regulatory approvals in order to be "shelf-ready" and capable of being sold. These costs are capitalised to work-in-progress and once the products are fully approved, these work-in-progress amounts will be transferred to end formulation assets.
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use and capitalised borrowing costs.
Capitalised development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project which is generally 3 years.
Amortisation
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.
(i) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds, with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.
(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group 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 at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of the discount is taken to finance costs in the consolidated consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(k) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(l) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(m) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(n) Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer any ownership or effective control over the goods.
Licence Income
Revenue earned under licence agreements is recognised on an accrual basis over the expected term of the licence agreement.
Services
Service revenue is recognised when the service is provided in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.
Other income
Other income is recognised on an accruals basis when the Group is entitled to it.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(o) Finance costs
Finance cost includes all interest-related expenses, other than those arising from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
(p) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(q) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.
When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systemic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.
When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is offset against the cost of the asset and recognised as reduced depreciation on a systemic basis over the useful life of the asset.
(r) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenue, 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 Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

At the end of the reporting period:
-
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate;
-
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and
-
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the rate at the date when fair value was determined.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(s) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transaction and balances
For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during the period, in which case the rates at the dates of the transaction are used.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through profit or loss, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income or whether they are deferred in equity as qualifying hedges.
(t) Change in accounting policy
The Group changed its accounting policy relating to recognition of R & D incentive received. It was previously recognised and disclosed as an income tax benefit. In the current financial year the Group has decided to disclose it as ‘Other Income’ and accordingly record it as part of Group’s revenue. The comparative amounts have been restated accordingly to reflect the change in accounting policy.
The aggregate effect of the change in accounting policy on the annual financial statements is NIL for the year ended 30 June 2017 (no taxation effect results from these changes):
(u) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB), that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current period.
During the current year, the following standards became mandatory and have been adopted retrospectively by the Group:
-
AASB 2015-1 Annual Improvements (2012 - 2014 cycle)
-
AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure Initiative.
The accounting policies have been updated to reflect changes in the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. However, the adoption of these standards had no material impact on the reported financial position or performance as discussed below.
AASB 2015-1 Annual Improvements (2012 - 2014 cycle). Clarifications are made on AASB 5 - reclassification from held for sale to held for distribution to owners or vice versa is considered as continuation of the plan of disposal; AASB 7 clarifies on disclosure requirements for transferred financial assets and offsetting arrangements; AASB 119 confirms that high quality corporate bonds or national government bonds used to determine discount rates must be in the same currency as the benefits paid to employee; AASB 134 clarifies information about cross references in the interim financial report. They have no material impact on the entity.
AASB 2015-2 Disclosure Initiative - Amendment to AASB 101. There are no changes to accounting policies covered by this standard, however this amendment provide clarification regarding the disclosure requirements in AASB 101. They have no material impact on the entity.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.
These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.
The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.
Key estimates - inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The Group assesses net realisable value by reference to the current and expected future selling price of its products. Where the consumption of certain inventory balances for future sales is not reasonably assured, the Group recognises an expense in the current year.
Key estimates - development costs
Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward (capitalised) when management considers that its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internallygenerated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
the availibility of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired seperately.
Key estimates - provision for restoration/decommissioning
At the end of each reporting period, the Group considers the costs of restoring leased premises to their original condition upon vacating the premises. Refer note 16 for further information.

Provision for Restoration/Decommissioning
In accordance with the lease agreements over 108 & 112 Radium Street, Welshpool, WA, the Group must restore the leased premises to their original condition upon vacating the premises. A provision of $181,000 has been raised due to the probability of relocation at the end of the lease term. The company is negotiating a long term lease at 112 Radium Street and anticipates the closure of 108 Radium Street in FY18.
Provision for Employee Benefits
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current as the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.
The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been discussed at Note 2(i).

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2017
28 Financial Risk Management
This note discloses the Group‘s objectives, policies and processes for managing and measuring these risks.
-
The Group is primarily exposed to the following financial risks:
-
Market risk - currency risk and cash flow interest rate risk
-
Credit risk
-
Liquidity risk
Objectives, policies and processes
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and whilst remaining ultimately responsible for them, it has delegated the authority to management for developing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies of the Group's finance function. The Group's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impact of these risks on the results of the Group where such impact may be material.
The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Specific information regarding the mitigation of each financial risk to which the Group is exposed is provided below.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company's overseas sales and purchases, which are primarily denominated in US dollars and Euro.
The Company's policy is that all foreign currency transactions are settled on a spot rate basis. There are no hedge facilities or other forward contract facilities in place.
In order to monitor the continuing effectiveness of the policy, the Board receives reports on its product pricing strategy together with data relating to any major fluctuations in foreign currencies. The Company's policy to mitigate foreign currency risk is to adjust selling prices for its products to reflect movements in foreign currencies.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities, translated into Australian Dollars at the closing rate, are as follows:
| Financial assets Cash deposits in USD Cash deposits in Euro Customers denominated in USD Customers denominated in Euro Financial liabilities Trade payables denominated in USD Trade payables denominated in Euro Net exposure |
2017 $ 2016 $ 487,159 808,119 396,068 329,163 1,201,674 90,572 294,976 108,907 (27,166) (37,337) (10,056) (89,700) |

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2017
28 Financial Risk Management
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group has no borrowings and has no current exposure to interest rate risk on borrowings.
The Group's minimum exposure to market interest rate relates to its cash investments which are minimal.
The Company adopts a policy of minimising exposure to interest rate risk. A +/-1% change in interest rates would change the net interest expense by +/-$9,083 per annum (2016: +/-$11,961) on cash held at year end.
(iii) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity in regards to the Company‘s financial assets and financial liabilities and the US Dollar – Australian Dollar exchange rate and the Euro – Australian Dollar exchange rate. There have been no changes in the assumptions calculating this sensitivity from prior years. The sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency financial instruments held at the reporting date.
The sensitivity analysis assumes a +/- 5% change of the Australian Dollar / US Dollar exchange rate for the year ended 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: 5%). A +/- 5% change is also assumed for the Australian Dollar / Euro exchange rate (30 June 2016: 5%). Both of these percentages have been determined based on the historical market volatility in exchange rates.
| 2017 | 2016 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +5% | -5% | +5% | -5% | |
| USD | ||||
| Net results | (63,908) | 63,908 | (32,047) | 32,047 |
| Equity | (63,908) | 63,908 | (32,047) | 32,047 |
| Euro | ||||
| Net results | (22,915) | 22,915 | (11,672) | 11,672 |
| Equity | (22,915) | 22,915 | (11,672) | 11,672 |
Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
The Group conducts transactions with the following major type of counterparties:
- Receivables counterparties: The majority of sales to the Group customers are made on open terms. As part of managing this risk, new customers can be rquired to make (part) payment for goods prior to shipping initial orders
To manage credit risk, the Group maintains group wide procedures covering the application for credit approvals, granting and renewal of counterparty limits and regular monitoring of exposure against these limits. The Group monitors its trade receivables balances on an ongoing basis and also maintains a credit insurance policy where

Credit risk
appropriate.
The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business.
At the reporting date, these reports indicate that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances.

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.
The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates. The timing of expected outflows is not expected to be materially different from contracted cashflows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the undiscounted contracted cash flows and therefore the balances in the table may not equal the balances in the consolidated statement of financial position due to the effect of discounting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADVANCED NANO TECHNOLOGIES LTD
==> picture [210 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Advanced Nano Technologies Ltd (the company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, 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 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Qualified Opinion
At 30 June 2017, the financial report of the Group included Property, Plant and Equipment with a value of $1,956,361 (note 13). Included in the value of the Property, Plant and Equipment is production equipment with a written down value of $382,300 that is currently not in operation and for which the Group is considering future options for the equipment’s utilisation. As a result of the material inherent uncertainty regarding the future cash flows to be derived from this equipment, we are unable to form a view as to the valuation of the assets. Had we been able to form a view as to the future cash flows associated with these balances, matters might have come to our attention indicating that adjustments might be necessary to the 30 June 2017 financial report.
At 30 June 2017, the financial report of the Group included Development Assets (Intangible Assets) with a value of $72,153 (note 14). As a result of the material inherent uncertainty regarding the future cash flows associated with finalisation and implementation of the intangible assets, we are unable to form a view as to the valuation of the assets. Had we been able to form a view as to the future cash flows associated with these balances, matters might have come to our attention indicating that adjustments might be necessary to the 30 June 2017 financial report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirement of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethical for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Accounting estimates and judgements | |
|---|---|
| Refer to Note 2, 3, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 29. | |
| Key Audit Matter | How the Matter was addressed in our audit |
| We note the disclosures by directors in note 3 regarding the critical accounting estimates and judgements used during the preparation of the financial statements. We consider that the use of significant estimates and judgements in the context of the preparation of the financial statements results in an increased risk of material misstatement of the financial statements as a whole. As a result, we consider that the use of estimates and judgements is a Key Audit Matter to be addressed in the course of our audit. |
Our procedures in respect of estimates and judgements were performed in accordance with the requirements of Australian Auditing Standard ASA 540_Auditing Accounting Estimates, Including Fair_ Value Accounting Estimates, and Related Disclosures. These procedures included: Assessing the accounting policies and their application with the critical estimates and judgements. Assessing how management determines the completeness, relevance and accuracy of the data (including assumptions and inputs) used to develop the critical estimates and judgements. This includes assessing the nature of the assumptions, inputs and data, including which of the assumptions, estimates and data are likely to be significant to the critical estimates and judgements. Assessing whether and, if so, how, management has considered alternative inputs, assumptions or outcomes. This includes assessing whether management determines that the information used is internally consistent or whether such analysis indicates the existence of a number of outcome scenarios. |

| Key Audit Matter | How the Matter was addressed in our audit |
| The recognition of revenue in accordance with AASB 118_Revenue_(to be replaced in future periods by AASB 15_Revenue from Contracts with Customers_) is considered a material risk in Australian Auditing Standards. As a result of the guidance included in Australian Auditing Standards, we consider that the recognition of revenue is a Key Audit Matter, to be addressed in the course of our audit. |
Our procedures in respect of revenue recognition included analysis of the month-to-month recorded revenue, data analysis on transactions recorded in the Group’s accounting systems, analysis of financial information and ratios relevant to the recognition of revenue, inquiry of management regarding posted transactions and, on a sample basis, substantive testing of transactions to contracts and banking records. |
Other Information in the Annual Report
The directors are responsible for the “Other Information in the Annual Report”. This “Other Information” comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but which is not included in 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.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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.

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 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, if any, and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of director’s 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.
-
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.

ADVANCED NANO TECHNOLOGIES LTD
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 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.
