Chair’s Message
Dear Shareholders
Financial Year 2024 has been landmark period for Atomos with all key areas of the business undergoing significant transformation and re-alignment which will result in a more streamlined, capital efficient and operationally resilient Company moving forward.
Atomos is a unique business for its size, highlighted by the following key characteristics:
-
market-leading video creation products (both hardware and software) in key product segments;
-
global sales distribution network with direct reseller relationships in the US market;
-
tech integration and sales partnerships with major global players such as Apple, Adobe, Canon, Sony and Panasonic, among others;
-
proprietary technology developed in-house via world-class engineering and design teams; and
-
• customer base leveraged to the video content creation market which is now the communication medium globally given the growth of social media, video advertising and virtual meetings.
Whilst we recognise the poor performance of the business over the past few years, the team have worked incredibly hard to address those challenges and are now confident the necessary building blocks are in place to generate increased value for our shareholders into the future.
One of the key catalysts for our transformation during the year was Atomos co-founder, Jeromy Young, returning to the business in January 2024 as Managing Director and CEO. Jeromy was joined in February 2024 by successful video entrepreneur (and co-founder of Blackmagic Design), Peter Barber, who was appointed as Executive Director and COO.
Leveraging new management strategies and a refreshed product roadmap, Atomos successfully recapitalised the business in May 2024, raising $16.1m which was partially underwritten by major shareholder, Doma, and supported by Directors Jeromy Young and Peter Barber invested $2.0m each. Proceeds from the capital raise were used to repay all outstanding debt, on-going restructuring costs, invest in new product inventory and provided additional working capital flexibility.
Following a 15-month period of suspension, Atomos returned to ASX trading on 21 May 2024 (post completion of the capital raise), one of the major milestones achieved during the year.
Financially, Atomos underwent a material restructure during FY24, particularly during the second half under new management. While the annualised benefits of that restructure will be realised in FY25, initial key performance drivers are positive:
-
H2’24 revenue of $18.3m up 5% on H1’24 (FY24 sales: $35.7m)
-
FY24 gross margins improved as constant product discounting ceased in H2’24; and
-
Fixed costs reduction with permanent staff reduced to 70 as at 30 June 2024.
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
Chair’s Message (continued)
The Company returned to its product-focused innovative heritage with the launch of two new products in late FY24 – Ninja Phone and SunDragon. Due to the timing of shipping those products, both had a negligible impact on FY24 sales, however we expect these products to make a material contribution to revenue in FY25.
In September 2024, we announced the settlement of both the US and Australian legal cases between Atomos and the former Chief Executive Officer, Estelle McGechie. Whilst terms of the settlement remain confidential, the Company has sufficiently provided for all payments and future legal expenses relating to the matter in the FY24 accounts. This is a great outcome for the Company and removes one more negative distraction which will enable management to focus their time and resources on releasing groundbreaking products to existing and new markets.
With the cost restructure expected to be complete by Q2 FY25 resulting in breakeven EBITDA at approximately $45m of sales and coupled with the launch of several new products, we are optimistic for the outlook heading into FY25.
Lastly, I’d like to acknowledge the contributions of former Directors Sir Hossein Yassaie and Trevor Elbourne who stepped down from their director duties during the year. I’d also like to thank my fellow directors Jeromy and Peter, board advisors James Joughin, and Ben McAlister for their efforts during the year. In addition, I’d like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support and patience as we seek to rebuild the significant latent value that sits within the Atomos business.
Kind Regards,

CEO’s Address
Dear Shareholders,
After several years away from the business, it’s a pleasure to be back as CEO of Atomos; a Company Ian Overliese and I co-founded over 15 years ago. Our initial vision for the business all those years ago was simple – to democratise video content creation by providing access to simple, intuitive and technologically advanced products that foster creativity irrespective of budget. This is the same vision we continue to employ today, with the recently launched Ninja Phone and Shinobi II providing a great example of our ability to translate this vision into something tangible and value accretive.
As Paul mentioned in the Chair message, FY24 was transformational year for Atomos having delivered several key milestones that have removed various unwanted distractions from management, increasing the time and resources focused on high value growth opportunities.
Following the appointment of Peter and myself as the COO and CEO, respectively, we subsequently completed the recapitalisation process critical to resetting the financial stability of the business and enabling the Company to resume trading on the ASX following a 15-month period of suspension.
At an operational and financial level, we have implemented significant change in the business, particularly during the second half post our appointment, with several key areas highlighted below:
Stabilised and subsequently returned to sales growth
-
FY24 revenue of $35.7m, down 16% on previous corresponding period (‘pcp’) which reflected: limited working capital to produce sufficient product to meet demand, ongoing deterioration in economic conditions and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike
-
However, we delivered revenue of $18.3m in H2 FY24, up 5.1% on H1 FY24 predominately due to reinvigorating the sales and marketing of the existing products and launching new innovative products which created demand across other product categories.
Improving Gross Profit Margin
-
Higher gross margin in FY24 attributed to the cessation of product discounting
-
While reported gross profit margin improved from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24, Underlying gross margin improved from 20% to 34%
-
Gross profit margins in H2 FY24 gross profit margin of 36% compared to 31% in H1 FY24
-
In addition, and perhaps a better reflection of the run-rate, despite it taking some months to unwind previous management’s strategies, in Q4 FY24 gross profit margins were consistently just under 40%, with June 2024 reaching 40%.
Restructuring the cost base well advanced
-
The Company has implemented several cost saving initiatives during H2 FY24 which has resulted in permanent staff being reduced from 90 at December 2023 to 70 as of June 2024
-
Excluding non-recurring costs, fixed operating costs (which includes capitalised R&D in FY23) were reduced by $5.9m in FY24
-
The Company is expected to finalise the restructure program by the end of Q2 FY25 with the full run-rate benefit being seen in H2 FY25.
In the second half of FY24, we returned to what we have become globally known for – launching innovative, groundbreaking products that converge expensive technologies into a simple form factor at a cost-effective price point.
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
CEO’s Address (continued)
In April 2024 we announced the Ninja Phone – a video co-processor that enables users to use the latest iPhone models as a monitor whilst also providing recording functionality from professional cameras directly onto the iPhone’s storage.
Concurrently, we also launched SunDragon - a unique ‘sun-spectrum’ range of LED lights, which expands upon Atomos’ exiting product portfolio into an adjacent segment of the video production ecosystem.
In June we surprised the world with an update to the world’s most popular Photo Video Monitor, the Shinobi, launching and shipping the Shinobi II in July.
The Atomos brand holds strong and has returned to its leadership position, the task at hand is to educate the rapidly growing younger content creators and bring them into the professional landscape, a task that Ninja Phone is well placed to achieve. Educating the masses on why they need to utilise the wonderful HDR screens on their phones and tablets by shooting 4K HDR and ensuring the traditional video market get the new tools they need to compete with the up and comers. The development pipeline for Atomos is strong and you can rest assured we are taking back out leadership position. Exciting times ahead.
Lastly, I’d like to thank all our staff who have been nothing short of incredible over the past few years given the various internal and external challenges they have faced. It’s never easy when a Company is going through a restructure period, with most of the core building blocks now in place we firmly have light at the end of the tunnel to enable us to deliver improved financial performance moving forward.
I am confident the tide has turned for the business, giving us the momentum we require into 2025 that will return Atomos to its rightful position in the video technology landscape, one that has exciting new frontiers!
Kind Regards,

Principal activities
During the year the principal activities of the Group consisted of:
-
The design, manufacture and sale of video equipment; and
-
The development and sale of software applications to enhance its physical products.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year.
Review of Results and Operations
FY24 revenue of $35.7 million was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to revenue of $42.8m in the PCP. Revenue was lower in FY24 due to the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, working capital constraints prior to the capital raising in May 2024 impacting finished goods availability, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike.
Pleasingly, revenue of 18.3m in H2 FY24 was 5.1% higher than revenue of $17.4m in H1 FY24. The improved H2 sales included only approximately $0.5m of sales from the Ninja Phone and no new sales from SunDragon (compared to our forecast of $2.5m based on launch of both products in June), highlighting strong H2 FY24 sales in the core existing product line. Management is focused on delivering the new products to market and further educating the Group’s customer base on the benefits of these new products in being able to enhance their creative offering whilst speeding up the workflow process.
The Company experienced higher gross margins in FY24 attributed to improvements in the mix of margin across its product range, including higher margins from new products. Gross margin percentage improved by 20% points in FY24 from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24.
On an underlying basis, gross margin percentage improved by 14% points in FY24 from 20% in FY23 to 34% in FY24. Further underlying margin improvements were achieved in the second half of FY24 with gross margin percentage of 36% in H2 FY24 compared to 31% in H1 FY24.

Key Drivers of Performance
Revenue
FY24 revenue of $35.7 million was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to revenue of $42.8m in the PCP. Revenue was lower in FY24 due to the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, working capital constraints prior to the capital raising in May 2024 impacting finished goods availability, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike.
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
9
The decline in revenue was stymied, with H2 FY24 revenue of $18.3m being 5.1% higher than revenue of $17.4m in the H1 FY24; due to higher demand of the Group’s core existing product line, management’s focus on delivering new products to market and management further educating the Group’s customer base on the benefits of ATOMOS products in being able to enhance their creative offering whilst speeding up the workflow process.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
FY24 gross profit of $11.2m was $6.5m or 138% favourable to gross profit of $4.7m in FY23. FY23 gross profit was impacted by de-stocking and significant provisioning against finished goods inventory which was slow-moving and provisioning against excessive levels of component inventory which was a result of component stockpiling during the COVID induced period of semi-conductor component scarcity and the resultant expansion in lead times.
The Company experienced higher gross margins in FY24 attributed to improvements in the mix of margin across its product range, including higher margins from new products. Gross margin percentage improved by 20% points in FY24 from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24.
On an underlying basis, gross margin percentage improved by 14% points in FY24 from 20% in FY23 to 34% in FY24. Further underlying margin improvements were achieved in the second half of FY24 with gross margin percentage of 36% in H2 FY24 compared to 31% in H1 FY24.
Operating Costs
Operating costs were $1.7m or 6% lower in FY24 compared to FY23 on a reported basis. Excluding non-recurring costs, operating costs were $4.3m or 15% lower in FY24 compared to FY23. The Company is well progressed on its detailed cost restructure having already significantly reduced staff costs to under 70 permanent staff from 90 permanent staff in December 2023. The restructure is expected to be complete by the end of the second quarter in FY25, with the full financial benefit being realised from 2H25.
EBITDA
FY24 EBITDA loss of $17.3m was $8.2m or 32% favourable to EBITDA loss of $25.5m in FY23. The FY24 underlying EBITDA loss after adjusting for one-off/non-recurring items was $11.8m which was $7.6m or 39% favourable compared to FY23.
Finance Costs
Finance costs decreased by $0.9m to $1.2m in FY24 primarily due to the debt facility repayments and no debt remaining as at 30 June 2024, except for $0.1m related to credit card facilities.
Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment
Depreciation and amortisation decreased by $1.4m in FY24 due to all intangibles being fully amortised as at 30 June 2023, reducing amortisation by $0.8m; and lower fixed asset acquisitions in FY24 further reduced depreciation by $0.6m.
Fair value adjustment
In 2022 the Company acquired a 10% interest in UK based Mavis Broadcast Limited. Mavis technology underpins the Atomos Cloud Studio suite of products.
Whilst there has been an upward trajectory in Atomos Cloud Studio Subscription Revenue since launching in May 2023, the overall result has been below expectation. Costs to deliver revenues have
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
10
exceeded $1.0m, and almost all this amount was paid to Mavis for development and delivery services. These payments represent a major component of Mavis revenue.
The Company has been advised that Mavis will undertake a capital raising in early 2025, which may result in substantial dilution of the Company’s interest in Mavis.
On this basis, management have assessed that the Group’s investment of $1.8m in Mavis Broadcast Limited had a negligible fair value as at 30 June 2024. A resulting fair value adjustment was recognised in FY24.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $0.4m in FY24 relates to non-Australian 100% owned subsidiaries where a taxable profit was reported.
Net Loss After Tax
The consolidated loss of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $22.4 million (2023: loss $61.1 million).
Reconciliation of underlying earnings for 2024 and the prior financial year
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) is a non-IFRS term which the Group uses to measure performance. Additionally, the reported 2024 and 2023 results included a number of items that were significant and/or not considered to be in the ordinary course of business and the tables below quantify these to provide a view of the underlying trading results.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
During the financial year ended 30 June 2024 the Company announced a $16 million (before costs) underwritten capital raise via institutional placement and a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to all eligible shareholders. The funds raised under the offer were applied towards:
-
Debt reduction
-
Restructuring of the business
-
Marketing of new revenue streams
-
Additional working capital for balance sheet flexibility
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.
Events arising since the end of the reporting period
Since the end of the reporting period:
- The company announced on 13 September 2024, that it had settled the US and Australian cases between the Company and former Chief Executive Officer, Ms Estelle McGechie. Following mediation, both parties agreed and entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (Agreement). Under the Agreement, neither party admitted liability and provided the other party mutual releases for all claims relating to the matters. While the settlement payment amount is confidential, a provision was recognised in the financial statements as at 30 June 2024 within current liabilities – trade and other payables. The amount of the provision recognised is sufficient to meet all payments relating to the settlement payment and legal expenses relating these matters. These two matters were noted in the FY23 financial statements as contingent liabilities.
There are no further matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect either:
-
the entity’s operations in future financial years
-
the results of those operations in future financial years; or
-
the entity’s state of affairs in future financial years
Future developments
Atomos will continue to develop the types of products it is known for today to grow the existing business. The Company expects increasing sales momentum in 1H FY25 with the launch of new products including the launch of the Shinobi II, Sun Dragon and Ninja Phone with a significant roadmap of innovative products in development.
Management is continuing to restructure the fixed operating cost base and implemented several cost saving initiatives during H2 FY24 which have resulted in permanent staff being reduced from 90 at December 2023 to 70 as of June 2024. The restructure is expected to be complete by Q2 FY25 with targeted EBITDA breakeven around annual revenue of approximately $45m.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Principal Risks
Risk Area Risk & Impact Launch of new Atomos always aims to produce products that meet products fail to the expectations of customers. Atomos faces a meet market broad range of factors that impact the success of expectations new product launches, including: pricing, changes in customer “user” preferences; competition; our ability to design, develop and deliver products or to support technology changes; effective education of and support from distributors; delays to product launches affecting reputation and customer confidence, as well as the effectiveness of marketing efforts.
Mitigation & Monitoring
Atomos is continually innovating and developing its strategy for effectively managing the product life cycle and by ensuring upgrades of new product features and technologies are brought to market in a timely manner. A new series of products are anticipated to be deployed in FY25.
A structured product roadmap is maintained which includes the introduction of new products for new segments and customer demands specifically around connectivity and workflow solutions in the highly changing video technology marketplace.

Principal Risks (continued)
Risk Area Risk & Impact Talent – attract Atomos’ operating and financial performance is and retain dependent on the ability to attract and retain top talent in a competitive environment, particularly in technology roles. This could be impeded through: poor hiring practices; inadequate training and development; poor culture or inadequate remuneration or progression opportunities for employees.
Product Atomos is liable to replace a defective product sold warranty where the product is under warranty. Atomos is dependent on having talented designers and engineers as well as highly functioning quality control procedures to reduce the risk of product failure / quality issues. Products which fail can result in a significant cost to Atomos.
- Cyber security During FY2023, Atomos announced the introduction of Atomos Cloud providing customers with cloudbased workflow capabilities. Atomos is cognisant of the possibility of data breaches of customers’ personal information and the resulting impacts. Due to the Company’s reliance on information technology systems, the Company is at risk of being exposed to breaches of cyber security, notwithstanding the security systems implemented by the Company to prevent cyber security breaches.
Mitigation & Monitoring
Investment in our people and culture enables Atomos to attract and retain key talent and maintain a motivated and effective workforce. External hiring addresses gaps in experience and capability for more technical roles. The senior management remuneration structure is designed to retain key managers and focus them on Atomos’s long-term growth potential. In addition, fostering a work environment of high engagement and high performance is also critical to attracting top talent and promoting employee retention.
Atomos performs extensive product testing pre-production and also maintains quality control processes during production to minimise faulty products.
Atomos Cloud is in the early stages of adoption and Atomos may consider engaging with external professionals to assist in the identification and implementation of mitigants to ensure that customer information remains protected.
These risks could have a material impact on the Company’s business, operations, reputation, financial condition and performance, and may lead to potential or threatened litigation.
General In the ordinary course of business, Atomos may be litigation involved in litigation disputes from time to time. Such disputes brought by third parties including, but not limited to, customers, suppliers, business partners, employees and government bodies may adversely impact the financial performance and industry standing of the business, in the case where the impact of legal proceedings is greater than or outside the scope of Atomos’ insurance. Such litigation could negatively impact the industry standing of Atomos, cause Atomos to incur unforeseen expenses, occupy a significant amount of management’s time and attention and could negatively affect Atomos’ business operations and financial position.

Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 30 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 30 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit & Risk Committee, for the following reasons:
-
All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor.
-
None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
The auditor’s independence declaration is included after this report on page 24.
Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.
Rounding of amounts
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the directors’ report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
UNDER S 307C OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 TO THE DIRECTORS OF ATOMOS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

i. no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and
- ii. no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

On behalf of the Board we are pleased to present Atomos’s FY24 Remuneration Report. During FY23, given the reduction in the number of Board members and the rationalisation of activities undertaken, the Board absorbed the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Board’s objective is to ensure a remuneration approach that is globally competitive, while remaining fair and reasonable in a local context and delivering outcomes that align with the long-term shareholder experience.
We thank you for your ongoing support.

2 Link between Atomos’s performance and executive remuneration outcomes
The main objective of Atomos’s executive remuneration framework is to ensure close alignment between executive reward, business strategy and shareholder returns over the long-term.
FY24 and FY23 required the Atomos executive team to respond to a number of significant challenges including subdued sales, fixed operating cost reduction, a structured run-down of inventory and cash preservation.
The executive officers were provided incentives emphasising their continued support. Given the challenging circumstances the business found itself in, no other incentive schemes were implemented for FY24 and FY23.

3 Executive remuneration framework, key terms and statutory remuneration

4.1 Executive performance evaluations
Executive performance sessions were conducted during the year providing valuable development and learning with the executive team.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General information
Atomos Limited and its controlled entities (“Atomos”, the “Group” or the “Company”) is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Atomos is the Group’s ultimate holding Company.
The principal activities of the Group were the manufacture and sale of video equipment. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 700 Swanston Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053.
These financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars.
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 were approved and authorised for issue by the board of Directors on Monday, 30[th] of September 2024.
2. Adoption of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are relevant to its operations for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations does not have a material impact on these financial statements.
3. Material accounting policies
3.1 Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), and comply with other requirements of the law. The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently, this financial report has been prepared in accordance with and complies with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
3.2 Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
3.3 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
44
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.3 Going concern (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2024, the Group generated revenue of $35.7m (June 2023 $42.8m), incurred a loss after tax of $22.4m (June 2023 loss of $61.1m), including a $1.8m fair value adjustment, and reported negative cash flows of $9.1m (June 2023 negative $2.6m) and $0.0m (June 2023 negative $4.9m) from operating and investing activities respectively.
FY24 revenue of $35.7 million was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to revenue of $42.8m in the FY23. Revenue was lower in FY24 due to the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, working capital constraints prior to the capital raising in May 2024 impacting finished goods availability, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
In the opinion of the directors, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the following;
-
Achieving short term revenue targets and executing its cost reduction plans.
-
➢ The Company is well progressed on its detailed cost restructure having already significantly reduced staff costs to under 70 permanent staff from 90 permanent staff in December 2023. The Company has commenced a further reduction in the cost base of the business which will further reduce the annual breakeven revenue level to approximately $45m; and
-
➢ The ability to generate the level of revenues forecast and receive payment from customers in accordance with standard trading terms and conditions.
-
➢ Though revenue in FY24 was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to FY23, the Company experienced higher gross margins in FY24 attributed to improvements in the mix of margin across its product range, including higher margins from new products. Gross margin percentage improved by 20% points in FY24 from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24.
-
Adhering to the payment plans agreed with key suppliers, and having access to their continued
-
supply beyond that on standard payment terms.
-
➢ Extended supplier payment plans have been agreed with suppliers as a mitigation to short term cashflow risks. These payment plans are being adhered to and are forecast to be adhered to. It is expected that these suppliers will continue to supply and that the Group will be able to meet their payment obligations in terms of standard payment terms.
If the Group is unable to achieve successful outcomes in respect of the above matters, particularly in respect of the cost reduction initiatives, in the directors’ opinion the Group could pursue the following additional actions:
45
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
3.3 Going concern (continued)
-
Obtain further accommodation from suppliers with regards to extending the repayment plans;
-
Obtain working capital or invoice financing; and
-
Obtain access to financial support from major shareholders.
Furthermore, as part of the capital raise completed in May 2024, 551m options with an exercise price of $0.03 were issued. This represents a potential $16.5m of further capital that may be injected into the business, subject to Atomos share price performance and investors exercising their options
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
3.4 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in on consolidation.
3.5 Revenue
The Group recognises revenue predominantly from the sale of goods to the wholesale market and software upgrades. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product to a customer.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods (video monitor recorder products, broadcast equipment and accessories) is recognised at a point in time when the performance obligation of the sale have been fulfilled and control of the goods has transferred to the customers as determined by the shipping terms. In recognising revenue from the sale of goods, the Group considers its historical experience with sales returns to determine if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will arise in the future.
46
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.5 Revenue (continued)
Sale of software & software upgrades
Sale of software & software upgrades are recognised at a point in time – being that of purchase, which is when the Group has fulfilled its performance obligation.
3.6 Leases The Group as Lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate determined for the Group ranges from 0.1% in Japan to 7.7% in the United Kingdom, depending on country and specific risk premium.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
-
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
-
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
-
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
-
The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
-
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related rightof-use asset) whenever:
- The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
47
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
3.6 Leases (continued)
-
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
-
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under AASB 137 . To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ policy.
3.7 Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions and balances
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
48
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.7 Foreign currencies (continued)
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary terms. For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.
3.8 Short-term and long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages, salaries and annual and long service leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
3.9 Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 26.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserves.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
49
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.10 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible on other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying mount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
50
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.10 Taxation (continued)
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
3.11 Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets to their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The following depreciation rates are applied:
-
Plant & equipment: 10 – 33%
-
Motor vehicles: 25%
-
Leasehold improvements: 10% or if the lease period is less than ten years, the rate applicable so that the leasehold improvements are fully depreciated over the lease period.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
3.12 Intangible assets excluding goodwill
- Intangible assets development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Intangible assets generated internally comprise product development costs and are recognised when all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete 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 the recognition criteria listed above. When no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internallygenerated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
51
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.12 Intangible assets excluding goodwill (continued) Derecognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are recognised initially at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
Patents and Product IP, Trademarks and Brand Name and Customer Relationships These assets are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
– Capitalised product development costs carried at cost less accumulated amortisation or impairment losses
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight ‑ line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
3.13 Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
3.14 Impairment of plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.14 Impairment of plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill (continued)
Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. For the purposes of assessing impairment, one CGU, has been identified in the Company.
3.15 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
3.16 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.16 Provisions (continued)
Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, as the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation.
Onerous contracts
The provision for onerous contracts relates to the Group’s exposure to the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contracts, which exceeds the expected benefits to be derived by the Group. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contracts.
Make good
The Group’s best estimate of the future outflow required when the leased office premises are vacated.
3.17 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets held that relate solely to payments of principal and interest and where the business model is to collect contractual cash flows, are measured at amortised cost.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
54
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.17 Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Effective interest rate method
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade and other receivables that are measured at amortised cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The entity makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the entity uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over ‑ the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12 month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
55
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
3. Material accounting policies (continued) 3.17 Financial instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognised as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’. All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
3.18 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and investments in money market instruments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
3.19 Comparative Figures
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current period.
3.20 Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:
-
(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense; or
-
(ii) for receivables and payables in the statement of financial position which are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. 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.
3.21 Rounding of amounts
The Group has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instruments 2016/191 and accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
56
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors are required to make judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
4.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information.
The following are the critical judgements or estimates in which the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Impairment testing
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life to be assessed at the end of each reporting period. For impairment assessment a single Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”), being the Atomos Global Group, was identified. The recoverable amount of the assets relating to the CGU were assessed using a value-in-use discounted cash flow model. This model uses cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond five-year periods are extrapolated using a terminal growth rate.
The Group fully impaired Goodwill in the FY23 financial year. The impairment charge was included within the FY23 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The model was prepared as at 31 December 2022, when an impairment charge of $30.7 million was recognised in respect of Goodwill, Patents and Product IP and Capitalised Development Costs. The decrease in the recoverable amount of the CGU in FY23 reflected weak consumer demand and slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products; which reduced future cashflow expectations from customers.
The key assumptions used in the model prepared in 31 December 2022 were:
-
Long term growth rate of 2%
-
Post tax discount rate of 14.5%
-
Average revenue growth rate across the forecast period of 19%
The recoverable amount is highly sensitive to changes in the revenue growth assumption. Whilst noncurrent intangible assets have been impaired in totality, improvements in forecast revenue growth may result in reversals of the impairment charge for intangible assets other than goodwill in the future. The impairment charge recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
57
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
4.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies (continued) Amortisation of Intangible Assets
The Group exercises judgement in relation to the estimated useful lives of the product range including considering the likelihood of changes in technology that could affect the useful lives related to capitalised product development costs. The Group considers the useful lives in the context of each category or project to which capitalised costs pertain and determine the useful life based on the expected sales life of products utilising or that will utilise that technology.
4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Trade receivables collectability
Management estimates the recoverable amount of any outstanding trade receivable balances at reporting date and recognises an allowance for impairment if required.
Inventory net realisable value
Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices. Warranties
Management estimates the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation from the date of sale of the relevant products. The estimate is based on historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.

The Group recognises revenue predominantly from the sale of goods to the wholesale market and software upgrades. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product to a customer.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods (video monitor recorder products, broadcast equipment and accessories) is recognised at a point in time when the performance obligations of the sale have been fulfilled and control of the goods has transferred to the customers as determined by the shipping terms. The pre-agreed shipping terms can and do change depending on the circumstances. In recognising revenue from the sale of goods, the Group considers its historical experience with sales returns to determine if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will arise in the future.

Sale of software & software upgrades
Sale of software upgrades are recognised at a point in time – being that of purchase, which is when the Group has fulfilled its performance obligation.
6. Segment reporting

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. The Group has applied the simplified approach when assessing the expected credit losses.

Intangibles assets impaired in the 2023 financial year
As at 30 June 2023, there were indicators of impairment due to the poor financial performance of the Group during FY23 and the market capitalisation position in FY23. As a result, the recoverable amount of the assets relating to the CGU were assessed using a value-in-use discounted cash flow model. This model used cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period were extrapolated using a terminal growth rate.
In FY23, management assessed that the carrying value of the CGU exceeded the recoverable amount. The decrease in the recoverable amount of the CGU in FY23 reflected weak consumer demand and slower than anticipated momentum from the company’s most recently released products, which reduced future cashflow expectations from customers. An impairment charge of $30.676 million was
65
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
17. Intangible assets (continued)
recognised in respect of Goodwill, Patents and Product IP and Capitalised Development Costs. This impairment charge was included within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Cash Generating Unit recoverable amount calculation methodology
The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity’s goodwill was determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 2-year projection period and extrapolated for a further 3 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. The model was prepared as at 31 December 2022.
The recoverable amount is highly sensitive to changes in the revenue growth assumption. The key assumptions used in the model prepared in 31 December 2022 were:
-
Long term growth rate of 2%
-
Post tax discount rate of 14.5%
-
Average revenue growth rate across the forecast period of 19%
The Group’s projected 2% revenue growth rate and the 19% average revenue growth rate across the forecast period were based on the gradual take-up of Atomos’ connected products while considering slowing economic conditions.
The discount rate of 14.5% post-tax reflected management’s estimate of the time value of money and the Group’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for varying risk profiles, the risk-free rate, and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements around the time the model was prepared.
Whilst non-current intangible assets have been impaired in totality in the prior financial year, improvements in forecast revenue growth may result in reversals of the impairment charge for intangible assets other than goodwill in the future. The impairment charge recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Prior to the 2024 financial year, the Company acquired a 10% interest in UK based Mavis Broadcast Limited. Mavis technology underpins the Atomos Cloud Studio suite of products.
Whilst there has been an upward trajectory in Atomos Cloud Studio Subscription Revenue since launching in May 2023, the overall result has been below expectations. Costs to deliver revenues have exceeded $1.0m, and almost all this amount was paid to Mavis for development and delivery services. These payments represent a major component of Mavis revenue.
The Company has been advised that Mavis will undertake a capital raising in early 2025, which may result in substantial dilution of the Company’s interest in Mavis.
On this basis, management have assessed that the Group’s investment of $1.798 million in Mavis Broadcast Limited had a negligible fair value as at 30 June 2024. A resulting fair value adjustment was recognised in FY24 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
The valuation methodology for these investments is disclosed in note 33.

The Company measures financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
In October 2023 the Company’s debt funding arrangement provided by Arrowpoint Capital Finance 103 Pty Ltd (Arrowpoint) was acquired by Domazet FT3 Pty Ltd (Doma), a substantial holder of the Company. The Company, Arrowpoint and Doma entered into a Deed of Novation, Assignment and Amendment that provided for Doma’s acquisition of the debt facility from Arrowpoint.
Under the deed, the terms of the debt facility were considerably more favourable to the Company, including:
-
Higher facility limits with no line fee,
-
Waiver of all financial covenants in place,
-
No scheduled amortisation, and
-
Improved terms on the capitalisation of interest.
As part of the capital raising in May 2024, all borrowing were repaid except for the credit card facilities. Total debt as at 30 June 2024 was $136,000 compared to $3,359,000 as at 30 June 2023, representing a reduction of $3,223,000 of debt.
The reduction of total debt is noted in the consolidated cash flow statement as follows:

(i) Warranty claims
The provision for warranty claims represents the present value of the Directors’ best estimate of the future outflow of economic benefits that will be required under the Group’s obligations for warranties under local sale of goods legislation. The estimate has been made on the basis of historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.
(ii) Employee benefits
The provision for employee benefits relates to the Group’s liability for accumulated long service and annual leave entitlements.
(iii) Onerous contracts
The provision for onerous contracts relates to the Group’s exposure to the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contracts determined to be onerous. Atomos routinely enters into purchase orders with its suppliers for components required to manufacture its products. There were significant disruptions to supply chains following the COVID pandemic which led to vastly extended ordering lead times, and therefore a need to order based on estimated demand over a year into the future. Subsequently, global economic conditions deteriorated and actual demand proved to be lower than the original forecasts. In some instances, this resulted in non-cancellable purchase orders for which the Group has limited requirement for the products within its forecast horizon.
69
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
21. Provisions (continued)
The Company has worked with its relevant suppliers to negotiate cancellations / deferrals of purchase orders where possible; to the extent that we have not been able to negotiate such an outcome, the remaining commitment has been recognised as an onerous contract. The estimate of future outflow is determined by open purchase orders with the Group’s suppliers, measured by the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.
(iv) Make good
The Group’s best estimate of the future outflow required when the leased office premises are vacated.

The Company has a share option scheme for directors, executives and senior employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As approved by shareholders and in accordance with the terms of the plan, directors, executives and senior employees may be granted options to purchase ordinary shares.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of these options. 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 are calculated in accordance with a performance-based criteria approved by the Board of Directors. The formula rewards executives and senior employees to the extent of the Group’s achievements judged against both qualitative and quantitative criteria from the following measures:
-
growth in total shareholder return
-
key strategic objectives
-

31. Financial instrument risk
31.1 Risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s risk management is coordinated by its head office, in close cooperation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
31.2 Market risk analysis
The Group’s operating and investing activities expose it primarily to the financial risks, through its use of financial instruments, of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s cash balances, trade receivables and trade payables include balances denoted in foreign currency, as a result the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the relevant exchange rates relative to the Australian dollar.
76
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
31. Financial instrument risk (continued)
Interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk was minimal at 30 June 2024 as the Group had no outstanding term debt at the end of FY24, (June 2023: $3.1m secured term debt owing). The Group has access to a $0.5m credit card facility and interest charges are avoided by repaying the credit card balances within the 55 days interest free period. Refer to note 20 for further details.
31.3 Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by trade receivables. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| $'000 | $'000 | |
| Classes of financial assets | ||
| Carrying amounts: | ||
| · cash and cash equivalents | 2,900 | 2,943 |
| · trade and other receivables | 4,970 | 5,166 |
| · financial assets | - | 1,798 |
| 7,870 | 9,907 |
The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used.
The Group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Group’s management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the 30 June reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.
The following table details the Group’s accounts receivable and other debtors exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis. Amounts are considered as “past due” when the debt has not been settled within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to the transaction.
Receivables are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.
The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table below) are considered to be of high credit quality. The ageing of trade receivables is set out below.
77
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2024
31. Financial instrument risk (continued)
| 31. Financial instrument risk (continued) | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| $'000 | $'000 | |
| Within terms | 4,565 | 3,219 |
| Past due | ||
| Past due under 30 days | 50 | 819 |
| Past due 30 days to under 60 days | 14 | 454 |
| Past due 60 days and over | 69 | 293 |
| Total | 4,698 | 4,785 |
The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates, management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
31.4 Liquidity risk analysis
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.
The Group’s objective is to maintain cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for longterm liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.
The Group considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Group’s existing cash resources and trade receivables exceed the current cash outflow requirements. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within one (1) month.
Extended supplier payment plans have been agreed with suppliers as a mitigation to short term cashflow risks. These payment plans are being adhered to and are forecast to be adhered to. It is expected that these suppliers will continue to supply and that the Group will be able to meet their payment obligations in terms of standard payment terms.
The Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities as summarised below:

| Total | 13,815 | 2,927 | 3,359 | 2,426 | 22,527 |
The above amounts reflect the contractual discounted cash flows, which agree to the carrying values of the liabilities at the reporting date. The total contractual maturity profile including interest payments (or undiscounted cash flows) as at 30 June 2024 would result in total repayments of $16.9m instead of discounted cash flows of $16.5m. The $0.4m of interest payments over the 5 years relate to lease liabilities and are not significant to Group’s liquidity management.
32. Capital management policies and procedures
The Group’s capital management objectives are:
-
to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and
-
to provide an adequate return to shareholders;
by pricing products commensurately with the level of risk.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position. Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. This takes into account the subordination levels of the Group’s various classes of debt. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.
The amounts managed as capital by the Group for FY23 are summarised in the table below. Due to all debt being repaid by the end of FY24, except for $0.1m owing under a credit card facility, there was virtually no gearing as at 30 June 2024.

33. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables detail the Group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At 30 June 2024 | $'000 | $'000 | $'000 | $'000 |
| Assets | ||||
| Equityinstruments held at fair value throughprofit or loss | - | - | - | - |

| Assets | ||||
| Equityinstruments held at fair value throughprofit or loss | - | - | 1,798 | 1,798 |
| Total | - | - | 1,798 | 1,798 |
Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and Level 3
In FY24, management have assessed that the Group’s investment of $1.798 million in Mavis Broadcast Limited was potentially fully impaired as at 30 June 2024 (refer to Note 18).
The FY23 valuation of equity instruments held at fair value relating to the investment in MAVIS Broadcast Limited was based on the consideration in acquiring a 10% interest in the respective company which took place during FY23. The fair value of the investment as at 30 June 2023 was supported by historical capital raises and offers of acquisition which MAVIS had received.

34. Parent entity
The accounting policies of the parent entity, which have been applied in determining the financial information shown below, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements except as set out below. See Note 3 for a summary of the significant accounting policies relating to the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised in the profit or loss when a right to receive the dividend is established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Parent and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax-consolidated group under Australian tax law. The Company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group.
Amounts payable or receivable under the tax-funding arrangement between the Company and the entities in the tax-consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer with group’ approach to determine the tax calculation amounts payable or receivable by each member of the taxconsolidated-group. This approach results in the tax effect of transactions being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred and does not tax effect transactions that have no tax consequences to the group. The same basis is used for tax allocation within the tax-consolidated group.

35. Subsequent events
Since the end of the reporting period:
- The company announced on 13 September 2024, that it had settled the US and Australian cases between the Company and former Chief Executive Officer, Ms Estelle McGechie. Following mediation, both parties agreed and entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (Agreement). Under the Agreement, neither party admitted liability and provided the other party mutual releases for all claims relating to the matters. While the settlement payment amount is confidential, a provision was recognised in the financial statements as at 30 June 2024 within current liabilities – trade and other payables. The amount of the provision recognised is sufficient to meet all payments relating to the settlement payment and legal expenses relating these matters. These two matters were noted in the FY23 financial statements as contingent liabilities.
There are no further matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect either:
-
the entity’s operations in future financial years
-
the results of those operations in future financial years; or
-
the entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Notes to the Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement
Key assumptions and judgements
Determination of Tax Residency
Section 295 (3A) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires that the tax residency of each entity which is included in the Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement (CEDS) be disclosed. In the context of an entity which was an Australian resident, ‘Australian resident’ has the meaning provided in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). The determination of tax residency involves judgment as the determination of tax residency is highly fact dependent and there are currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency.
In determining tax residency, the Group has applied the following interpretations:
• Australian tax residency
The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Commissioner of Taxation’s public guidance in Tax Ruling TR 2018/5 .
• Foreign tax residency
The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and where available judicial precedent in the determination of foreign tax residency. Where necessary, the consolidated entity has used independent tax advisers in foreign jurisdictions to assist in its determination of tax residency to ensure applicable foreign tax legislation has been complied with.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 3.3 - Going Concern in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss of $22,362,000 during the year ended 30 June 2024 (2023: loss of $61,061,000) and had cash outflows from operations of $9,119,000 (2023: outflows of $2,562,000). As stated in Note 3, these events, or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

KEY AUDIT MATTER 2 – Inventory Valuation & Existence
Refer to Note 13 Inventories
At 30 June 2024, Atomos held net inventory balances of $8,714,000, as disclosed within Note 13 Inventories. This is a material balance to the financial statements and is central to the Group’s operations, with material quantities of inventory held at multiple locations across the globe.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
-

Key matters of judgement include:
The existence and valuation of Inventory is a key audit matter as the balance represents a significant portion of the Group’s total assets, the geographical disbursement of the assets and the high level of subjectiveness required in estimating the provision for obsolescence.
