CHAIRMAN & CEO FOREWORD

The BluGlass Board and Management take great pleasure in presenting to you the 2013 Annual Report following what has been an outstanding year in the development of our RPCVD technology. During the course of the year we delivered a number of our key technology milestones, which have positioned the company well for its commercialisation phase. The most significant achievement for the Company during the year was, unequivocally demonstrating that our RPCVD technology can produce gallium nitride (n-GaN and p-GaN) films at low temperature, that meet industry performance benchmarks.

BluGlass has initiated discussions with the LED industry with a view to explore the commercialisation of the technology once p-GaN LED performance lift is achieved (our Brighter LEDs milestone). Our primary goal now is to demonstrate that low temperature RPCVD has the ability to improve LED light output.

While our focus is on p-GaN performance lift as the quickest route to market, there is also significant industry interest in GaN on silicon. In July 2013, the Company announced that we had been awarded a federal $2.99M Clean Technology Innovation grant which will significantly assist BluGlass in expediting our GaN on silicon research and development. GaN on silicon is expected to have significant market interest, not just for LEDs, but for solar and also the power electronics market, due to its low cost and scalable properties as a substrate.

BluGlass will also be targeting revenue generation by producing wafer templates as an early market entry point that will boost acceptance of our technology, and build credibility in the market. During the year the Company purchased a former production model MOCVD machine, second hand, and at the time of writing this tool is about to come online and commence operation. This will initially operate as an MOCVD machine to produce the LED and multi-quantum well base structures required for the demonstration of the Brighter LEDs milestone. This milestone involves BluGlass demonstrating a performance lift of an LED using low temperature RPCVD p-GaN on top of MOCVD grown multiquantum wells. During this phase, the design for its retrofit as an RPCVD machine will commence in order to demonstrate the scalability of the RPCVD technology from a 7x2” deposition machine to a 19x2” deposition machine. This will enable multiple programmes to be in place simultaneously.

BluGlass is positioned to commercialise its ground breaking technology during a period of high market growth.

~~WHY RPCVD FOR GaN ON SILCON?~~

~~In addition to the Company’s LED and PV programmes, BluGlass sees major potential benefts of the low temperature growth of nitrides on silicon for use in LEDs and power electronics as follows:~~ Traditionally GaN on large silicon substrates are very difficult to make because of the high temperature MOCVD growth causing the wafer to ‘bow’ causing damaging cracks to the overlying GaN material and reducing ~~manufacturing yield Because RPCVD is a lower temperature process, this reduction in temperature will ease the stress of the wafer during fabrication and result in little or no bow control issues and enable large scale wafer production~~

Accrual of the Research and Development Tax Rebate applicable to for the 2012/13 financial year. The Research and Development program has been registered with AusIndustry early July 2013 and the appropriate schedules prepared for inclusion with the 2012/13 tax return.

  • Other income, being principally interest has decreased by $113,692, down 42.2%, due to the decrease in interest rates during the year and lower cash balances held on short-term deposits.

Gross expenditure has decreased on a consolidated basis by $2,269,777, down 26.2% to $6,402,638 due to the following factors:

  • Research and development expenditure was no longer being incurred in EpiBlu Technologies Pty Ltd (the JV subsidiary, EpiBlu) from 1 July 2012. Salaries and wages were thus no longer being incurred for staff in the UK. Salaries and wages have decreased down to

  • $2,395,296, down 21.6% from $3,056,584 in 2012. The minority shareholding of 49% in EpiBlu was acquired on 9 October 2012(with the economic value being acquired from 1 July 2013);

  • Depreciation expense is reducing as original research equipment is progressively being written off, $719,821 (2012; $1,641,923);

  • The other major non cash item of expenditure; employee

  • incentive option amortisation increased by $235,421 due to new allocations granted in January 2013.

Cash required for operational expenses, repayment of borrowings and capital expenditure before the allocation to non-controlling interest in EpiBlu averaged $255,167 per month, (2012: $439,513). The decrease is mainly due to no expenditure on research in EpiBlu Technologies RPCVD technology.

The consolidated loss for the period amounted to $1,676,726 (2012: $6,230,574). This result was able to be achieved principally through reduced depreciation and closure of the EpiBlu joint venture operations as well as receipt and accrual of 2 years worth of Research and Development Tax Rebates.

The net assets of the consolidated entity increased by $3,794,784 from 30 June 2012 to $17,126,424 due to the following:

  • Successful share placement and Share Purchase Plan during the period (2012: nil);

  • Receipt of the Research and Development Tax Rebate for expenditure for the 2011/2012 financial year

  • Accrual of the 2012/13 Research and Development Tax Rebate of $1.967m.

The statement of Financial Position does not include a value for the increasing number of patent applications and patents granted during the period since listing on the ASX in 2006 as all research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and not capitalised;

Accounting Standards applicable to the acquisition of SPTS’s 49% of EpiBlu require that BluGlass recognises the EpiBlu balance sheet as at the 30th June 2012 (the effective date of the transaction) and as such does not reflect any of the $1.626m of the Research and Development Tax Rebate subsequently claimed and received by EpiBlu. Fair value of the shares issued to SPTS was $1.374m compared to the net assets at 30 June 2012 of $0.391m giving rise to a $0.981m Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) Acquisition Reserve. The subsequent receipt of this cash does not enable the NCI Acquisition Reserve to be adjusted.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The 2013 Financial Year was a year of major technical breakthroughs for the Company with the achievement of a number of key technology and commercial milestones. The Company is now closer to taking the breakthrough RPCVD technology to the rapidly expanding LED market. The key achievements during the year are discussed below;

  • 100% ownership of the RPCVD technology that was developed by the EpiBlu joint venture along with the future benefits from commercialisation of the technology

  • Continued support from SPTS who will continue to provide marketing assistance to promote the commercialisation of the technology

  • BluGlass also retains a license to the background intellectual property required in order to exploit the technology

In September 2012, BluGlass announced that the claims of one of its key patents was accepted and granted by the US Patent and Trademarks Office. This brought the total granted patent portfolio of the company to 17 international patents in five patent families, a significant advancement for the company which commenced with three provisional patents in 2006.

LOWER TEMPERATURE

Critically in October 2012, the Company announced that it had been successful in bringing key impurity levels (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) on par with the industry standard process, MOCVD. This was a significant step forward for the Company that represented the overcoming of a major technical hurdle. Carbon and oxygen were well known inhibitors of RPCVD for commercial application in the LED industry, and the demonstration of industry accepted levels of these materials was recognised by the LED community as an important achievement for BluGlass.

Compound Semiconductor Magazine followed this announcement with the first BluGlass feature interview since 2006 and said “The breakthrough has been a long time coming… but could have a profound effect on LED manufacturing”.

This key technical achievement enabled BluGlass to achieve its Proof of Concept Milestone shortly afterwards: In November 2012, BluGlass announced that it had successfully demonstrated n-GaN films with electrical properties that meet industry performance benchmarks.

In December 2012 BluGlass was successful

in raising $4.75M through an Institutional Placement and Share Purchase Plan. This funding will be used to continue operations and commence the commercialisation and scaling activities in line with the published roadmaps.

Also in December 2012, BluGlass announced that its initial laboratory experiments in the development of p-GaN had been successful. A low temperature p-GaN layer was grown on a commercially produced MOCVD 456nm blue multi-quantum well structure. Preliminary testing was carried out on the sample using a 0.5 mm diameter size p-type indium contact. The light output was measured with a UV-detector positioned under the wafer calibrated at the wavelength of the light emission.

  • At 20 mA, 4.7V the light output was 270 µW (Light emission at 458 nm, FWHM of 19 nm)

  • At 50 mA, 5.5V the light output was 1.23 mW (Light emission at 456 nm, FWHM of 18 nm)

In February 2013, BluGlass announced that it had succeeded in producing p-type gallium nitride films with industry equivalent performance properties using its low temperature RPCVD technology when grown on top of MOCVD GaN templates. This breakthrough followed on from the company’s proof of concept milestone achievement in November 2012.

The current was applied continuously for more than 60 minutes without the loss of function.

This is possibly the most significant technical milestone achieved to date; and the Company is now focussed on demonstrating improved LED device efficiency using RPCVD grown p-GaN layers to prove the commercial value of a low temperature technology.

In July 2013, BluGlass announced that it had won almost $3 million in funding under the Australian Federal Government’s Clean Technology Innovation Program to demonstrate higher efficiency, energy saving, lower cost nitride based LED’s on various substrates, including silicon. This funding support for the continued advancement of our RPCVD technology represents an enormous commitment from the Commonwealth Government and demonstrates their continued belief in BluGlass’ ability to bring its breakthrough technology to market .

Furthermore, in July 2013 BluGlass received final development consent to put in place the remaining infrastructure upgrades to BluGlass’ state of the art Silverwater facility. This was a lengthy Development Application (DA) process, and to receive full consent is a good step for BluGlass as it completes the facility upgrades that will allow the company to take the Silverwater facility from a predominately research focused facility to one that is ready to meet the company’s commercialisation and technology scaling milestones.

The team has been meticulously designing and developing these facility improvements since early 2013. This has involved sourcing a suitable larger scale MOCVD deposition tool (compared to the existing RPCVD tool employed at BluGlass) and it’s shipping and installation at Silverwater. This MOCVD machine arrived in Australia in March 2013 and following the recent DA approval it is now in the final stages of installation and commissioning and it is expected to come online at Silverwater in the coming weeks.

This new machine will initially operate as an MOCVD machine which the technology team will use to produce the MOCVD LED and multi-quantum well base structures for the demonstration of the Brighter LEDs milestone. While this machine is operating as an MOCVD machine, the design phase for its retrofit as an RPCVD machine will commence in order to demonstrate the scalability of the RPCVD technology from a 7x2” deposition machine capable cycle to a 19x2” deposition machine.

as it will enable BluGlass to demonstrate easily and in-house the photoluminescence and thickness profiles of RPCVD material at a wafer scale, particularly the effect of high quality, low temperature p-GaN material on top of an MOCVD grown multi-quantum well LED structure. This will significantly reduce the time it takes to evaluate material and allow us to test more of our growth runs for PL. The acquisition of the PL Mapper adds to a state of the art set of characterisation tools (like the XRD) enabling us to quickly process wafers and show progress to the industry.

Based on the technical successes during the year, BluGlass has been able to re-engage with companies in the LED value chain, including the major industry leaders to develop future commercial interest in the RPCVD technology. We look forward to furthering these discussions as the Company continues to advance the technology roadmaps.

In conclusion, 2013 has been the most significant year to date for the Company and bodes very well for an exciting 2014 as BluGlass evolves from a pure research and development company to one pursuing its commercial and market goals. The next milestone to produce Brighter LEDs using our revolutionary RPCVD approach is not just an achievement for BluGlass, but one that will have implications for the entire LED industry.

The Company will also continue to develop its low temperature RPCVD technology for other emerging market applications such as Concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV) and GaN on silicon and other optical and electrical device applications. The installation of the new tool will help expedite activity on these roadmaps objectives.

This industry continues to face two major challenges and is continually seeking ways to increase the efficiency of LED devices and also to drive down the cost of manufacture in order to enable the mass adoption of energy saving LEDs in the overhead lighting market.

The RPCVD technology has the potential to address both of these industry concerns. The Company is working towards delivering the RPCVD technology platform with its low temperature advantages as the natural choice for the industry to meet these critical challenges in a single technology solution.

BluGlass has also purchased a Photoluminescence (PL) Mapper. This machine will be a great asset for the company,

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

BluGlass will position itself to take advantage of the growing LED and PV markets in order to maximise shareholder return.

BluGlass will continue to deliver on its technology milestones as outlined in the roadmap in the Review of Operations.

These developments, together with the current strategy of continuous improvement and innovation are expected to assist in the acheivement of the Group’s long-term goals and development of its business opportunities.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY ISSUES

The BluGlass RPCVD technology uses some materials classified under the Dangerous Goods Act. All materials and consumables are handled in strict compliance with relevant regulatory environmental, health and safety codes, as do all facility emmisions.

REMUNERATION REPORT 2012- 2013

INTRODUCTION

The Directors of BluGlass Limited present the Remuneration Report for the Company and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2013. This Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors Report and is subject to audit by the external auditor in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

The Report details the nature and amount of remuneration for the company’s non-executive directors and the executive team who by definition are the company’s Key Management Personnel. The Key Management Personnel are the key people accountable for directing the affairs of the company and its controlled entities.

The people who currently hold these Key Management Personnel positions are listed in the table below

During the period the Remuneration and Nominations Committee comprised 3 independent directors – Greg Cornelsen (Committee Chairman), William Johnson and George Venardos. The Committee met once during the year.

REMUNERATION STRATEGY

The remuneration policy of BluGlass Limited has been designed to align shareholder objectives with the strategic business objectives of BluGlass. This is achieved by providing;

a modest market related fixed remuneration component,

a small component of short term incentives and

  • long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the consolidated entity’s ability to commercialise its technology milestones when achieved.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the directors and executives was developed by the remuneration committee and approved by the Board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants. No additional advice was sought during the year.

The Board of BluGlass Limited aims for the remuneration strategy to attract and retain the appropriate executives and directors to run and manage the consolidated entity recognising that as a pre-revenue research and development company it has limited ability to pay competitive base cash salaries and short term cash incentives. The ability to attract the best staff is achieved via ensuring all staff as well as executives and directors have access to a meaningful and rewarding long term incentive scheme currently in the form of an employee option scheme that creates goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration and nominations committee determines payments for the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually. The review is based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan. An issue of director options was approved at the 2011 AGM under the same terms and conditions of a October 2011 issue to staff.

The current remuneration of non-executive directors is:

Position Remuneration
$
Chairman 70,000
Director 40,000
Committee Chairperson
5,000
Committee member
-

A non-executive directors remuneration thus comprises the base board fee, any applicable committee chairman fee and the 9% superannuation levy contribution. No LTIs were allocated to directors during the year. William Johnson’s fees in his capacity as director are paid directly to SPTS.

The options granted in the below tabled are valued in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the full market price of the underlying BluGlass share price at the date of grant, and may not reflect the current market value of the options granted. Additionally no discount for uncertainty has been assigned to the option valuations, which do carry the risk of not meeting vesting hurdles.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for executives of the consolidated entity is as follows:

All key management personnel receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, access to a limited short term cash incentive scheme and to the longer term incentive scheme via options.

Short term incentives are only paid once predetermined annual key performance indicators have been met and are capped at 20% of base salary.

Incentives may be paid in the form of options or rights and are intended to align the interests of the key management personnel and company with those of shareholders. In this regard, key management personnel are prohibited from limiting risk attached to those instruments by use of derivatives or other means.

The remuneration and nominations committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to the consolidated entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from similar industry sectors.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the achievement of specific BluGlass technology and commercial milestones being achieved and the efficient conduct of the company’s operations. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to these predetermined performance criteria or milestones. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to reward executives for performance that will result in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements under the employee incentive scheme.

Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which for the period was 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

CONTRACTED EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION

PERFORMANCE BASED REMUNERATION

The company secretary, Emmanuel Correia is contracted to BluGlass from Cardrona Energy Pty Ltd. The agreement includes provisions that the contract may be terminated by either party with one months’ notice. Payments for services to Cardrona were $85,200 in 2013. Payments for services were $79,200 in the 2012 financial year. As a contracted position, the company secretary is not eligible to participate in short term incentive scheme and does not form part of the BluGlass’ executive team.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS OF EXECUTIVES

The employment terms and conditions of the CEO and other executives are formalised in contracts of employment. All executives are permanent employees of BluGlass Limited.

As part of the executive remuneration package there is a performance-based component,

consisting of key performance indicators (KPIs).

The intention of this program is to facilitate goal congruence between directors/executives with that of the business and shareholders. The KPI’s are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with executives to ensure buy-in. The measures are specifically tailored to the areas each executive is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPI’s target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for group expansion and profit, and cover financial and non-financial as well as short and long term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the group and respective industry standards.

Terms of employment require that the relevant group entity provide an executive contracted person with a minimum of one months’ notice prior to termination of contract. The CEO’s contract is subject to 3 months’ notice. Termination payments are determined by the remuneration and the nominations committee if a termination payment is appropriate. A contracted person deemed employed on a permanent basis may terminate their employment by providing at least one months’ notice. Termination payments are not payable on resignation or under the circumstances of unsatisfactory performance.

Performance in relation to the KPI’s is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPI’s achieved and the period of employment for the period. Following the assessment, the KPI’s are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPI’s are set for the following year.

The following table shows the gross revenue and losses over the last 7 years as well as the increasing portfolio of patents that has been built.

DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS GRANTED AS REMUNERATION 2013 (CONT.)

The value of options in the above table reflects the full market price of the underlying BluGlass share price at the date of grant and may not reflect the current market value of the options granted. Additionally no discount for uncertainty has been assigned to these option valuations, which do carry the risk of not meeting vesting hurdles.

Staffs were granted options as remuneration during the year, in line with the Board’s approval in November 2012 and communicated to the ASX at the time of issue in January 2013.

Conditions of issues were;

  • Vest conditionally over a three year period from the grant date and expire on 18 January 2016

  • 1/3rd of the options vest when the BLG achieves the milestone of MOCVD equivalent P GaN

  • 1/3rd of the options vest when the BLG achieves the milestone of a commercial arrangement

Options also became exercisable from the 2011and 2013 employee incentive scheme issues. These options when issued under the BluGlass Option Incentive Scheme are assigned to the BluGlass Employee Incentive Plan Pty Ltd (the Trust), where they are held in trust for employees. When options are exercisable after having met vesting criteria they are converted to shares by the Trust and the shares continue to be held by the Trust until employees are ready to withdraw their share entitlement from the Trust. The shares are taxable to the employees when they are withdrawn from the Trust.

When options are exercised by staff they are restricted from trading in BluGlass Limited shares by the company’s share trading policy. They are also limited in their ability to trade, during the recognised trading windows of this policy, if they are in possession of any inside company information that is not known to the market as a whole.

REMUNERATION ADVISORS

During the period no remuneration advisors were retained or used by the company.

  • with customer

  • 1/3rd of the options vest base on 24 months continuous employment with BluGlass

Options issued in accordance with the company’s approved Incentive Option Scheme.

All options were granted for nil consideration.

SHARES ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF COMPENSATION OPTIONS

4,058,444 options were exercised during the year that had been granted as compensation in prior periods.

2013 has been a landmark year to date for the company in delivering its technology milestones and entering into the commercialisation phase. The Company is well positioned for the year ahead to meet its milestones and commercialise the RPCVD technology

There were 2,905,000 options exercisable at 17cents from the 2010 employee incentive scheme issue, this tranche represented 50% of the options from this issue that had met the requisite hurdle criteria to be exercised. Directors and staff exercised 1,320,000 options, realising $224,000 for the company. The second tranche of these 2010 options lapsed in May 2013 as they had not met the hurdle criteria. The discount to prevailing market price of the share (if any) at the time of exercise is taxable to the director/employee at that time.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report covers BluGlass Limited as a consolidated entity (“Group”). BluGlass Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The separate financial statements of the parent entity BluGlass Limited have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 26th August 2013 by the directors of the company.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). BluGlass Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Accounting Policies

  • (a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by BluGlass Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity BluGlass Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 14 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with those adopted by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represents the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries and the non-controlling interests bond on their respective ownership interests.

(b) Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (revenue) and deferred tax expense (revenue).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit and loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(b) Income Tax (cont.)

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Tax consolidation

BluGlass Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. BluGlass Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax consolidated group. The group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 21 September 2006. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

(c) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(d) Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Furniture and Fittings 10%
Plant and equipment 20-60%
Leasehold improvements 33.33%
Computer hardware and software 33.33%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(e) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the consolidated entity are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

(f) Financial Instruments

Recognition and measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit and loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit and loss are expensed to the profit and loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(g) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

(h) Intangibles

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks and intellectual property have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life ranging from 5 to 10 years.

Research and development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technically feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

Intellectual property

Intellectual property (IP) which represents in process research is recognised at cost of acquisition. IP has a finite life once the asset is ready for use. Once the asset is ready for use the asset will be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

  • (i) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent and controlled entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(j) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

Equity-settled compensation

The Group operates an equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option scheme. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein Binomial pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(m) Revenue and Other Income

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(o) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis.

(p) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

(q) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

  • (r) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates — Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. See Note 13: Intangible assets for further disclosure of impairment.

Key estimates — Share options

The company issued options under the BluGlass Limited prospectus and the employee incentive option scheme. The options granted in the year were valued using the BluGlass share price at the date of grant. The prior year options were valued the same as they are currently valued. The key inputs to the pricing model are disclosed on Note 24. In addition to the pricing, key judgements revolve around the likelihood of vesting and estimated vesting date where there are vesting conditions. These judgements impact the expense recorded for the period.

  • (s) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

AASB 2010-8 provides clarification on the determination of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities when investment property is measured using the fair value model in AASB 140 Investment Property. It introduces a rebuttable presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model where the objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

AASB 2010-8 also includes the requirement that the measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on nondepreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment should always be based on recovery through sale.

These amendments have had no impact on the Group

AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Applies annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012

AASB 2011-9 requires entities to group items presented in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently, and changes the title of ‘statement of comprehensive income’ to ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’.

The adoption of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations has had no significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or the amounts reported during the current period. The adoption of AASB 2011-9 has resulted in changes to the Group’s presentation of its financial statements..

  • not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.

  • iii. Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so

  • eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or

  • liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.

  • iv. Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:

The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI); and The remaining change is presented in profit or loss.

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 9:

  • Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and

  • Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.

Consequential amendments arising from AASB 9 are contained in AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) , AASB 2010-10 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures.

The Group does not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, there will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments to AASB 9 are first adopted.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (January 2013)

AASB 10 establishes a revised control model that applies to all entities. It replaces the consolidation requirements in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and AASB Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The revised control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes additional guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as an agent may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give ‘de facto’ control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group.

When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (January 2013)

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and AASB Interpretation 113 Jointly-controlled Entities – Nonmonetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition, AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointlycontrolled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations for liabilities are accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and liabilities. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets are accounted for using the equity method.

When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because the entity has not entered into any joint arrangements.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (January 2013)

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures introduced by AASB 12 include disclosures about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

As this is a disclosure standard only, there will be no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures will be required for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as for unconsolidated structured entities.

AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (January 2013)

As a consequence of issuing AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued.

AASB 127 now only deals with separate financial statements. AASB 128 incorporates the requirements in Interpretation 113 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers, and guidance relating to the equity method for associates and joint ventures.

When these revised standards are adopted for the first time for the financial year ending 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the financial statements because they introduce no new requirements.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (January 2013)

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted by other Standards.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed analysis of the differences between the current fair valuation methodologies used and those required by AASB 13. However, when this standard is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the financial statements because the revised fair value measurement requirements apply prospectively from 1 January 2013.

AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards (July 2013)

AASB 1053 establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:

a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and

b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements.

Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements.

The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: a) for-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability; and

b) the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments.

The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: a) for-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability;

b) all not-for-profit private sector entities; and

c) public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments.

Consequential amendments to other standards to implement reduced disclosure requirements were introduced by AASB 2010-2.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (July 2013)

The Standard amends AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. This amendment reflects the AASB’s view that these disclosures are more in the nature of governance disclosures that are better dealt within the legislation, rather than by the accounting standards.

In March 2013, the Australian government released Corporations Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 which proposed to insert these disclosures into Corporations Regulations 2001 to ensure the disclosure requirements continue to be operative for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2013. The closing date for submissions was 10 May 2013.

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2014, they are unlikely to have any significant impact on the entity.

AASB 2011-4 makes amendments to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove individual key management personnel disclosure requirements, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent (which includes requirements to disclose aggregate (rather than individual) amounts of KMP compensation), and remove duplication with the Corporations Act 2011. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.

AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements

Standards (January 2013)

AASB 2011-7 makes various consequential amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12, AASB 127 (August 2011) and AASB 128 (August 2011).

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2014, they are unlikely to have any significant impact on the entity given that they are largely of the editorial nature.

AASB 119 Employee Benefits (January 2013)

Main changes include:

  • Elimination of the ‘corridor’ approach for deferring gains/losses for defined benefit plans

  • Actuarial gains/losses on remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than in profit or loss, and cannot be reclassified in subsequent periods

  • Subtle amendments to timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits

  • Employee benefits ‘expected to be settled’ (as opposed to ‘due to be settled’ under current standard) within 12

  • months after the end of the reporting period are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating leave liability.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10.

The Group does not have any defined benefit plans. Therefore, these amendments will have no significant impact on the Group.

AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (January 2013)

This Standard amends the required disclosures in AASB 7 to include information that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position.

This Standard also amends AASB 132 to refer to the additional disclosures added to AASB 7 by this Standard. When this AASB 2012-2 is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the entitiy as the entity does not have any netting arrangements in place.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

(January 2014)

AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.

When AASB 2012-3 is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2015, there will be no impact on the entitiy as this standard merely clarifies existing requirements in AASB 132.

AASB 2012-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Government Loans (January 2013)

A ASB 2012-4 adds an exception to the retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards under AASB 1 Firsttime Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards to require that first-time adopters apply the requirements in AASB 139 (or AASB 9) and AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance prospectively to government loans (including those at a below-market rate of interest) existing at the date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards.

When AASB 2012-4 is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the entitiy as this standard is only relevant to first-time adoptors of Australian Accounting Standards.

AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle (January 2013)

These amendments are a consequence of the annual improvements process, which provides a vehicle for making non-urgent but necessary amendments to Standards.

The amendments made are largely of the nature of clarifications or removals of unintended inconsistencies between Australian Accounting Standards (for example, AASB 101 is amended to clarify that related notes to an additional statement of financial position are not required in the event of a change in accounting policy, reclassification or restatement).

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, they are unlikely to have any significant impact on the entity given that they are largely of the nature of clarifications or removals of unintended inconsistencies between Australian Accounting Standards.

AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (January 2013)

AASB 2012-6 amends the mandatory effective date of AASB 9 so that AASB 9 is required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 instead of 1 January 2013. It also modifies the relief from restating prior periods by amending AASB 7 to require additional disclosures on transition from AASB 139 to AASB 9 in some circumstances.

The entity will be able to provide transition disclosures, instead of restating comparatives, upon initial application of AASB 9.

AASB 2012-9 Amendment to AASB 1048 arising from the Withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 (January 2013)

AASB 2012-9 amends AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards as a consequence of the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 Substantive Enactment of Major Tax Bills in Australia.

When AASB 2012-9 is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the entitiy as this standard will not affect current practice.

AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments (January 2013)

AASB 2012-10 clarifies the transition guidance in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

It also provides additional transition relief in AASB 10, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements and AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information only to the immediately preceding comparative period. In addition, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, AASB 2012-10 removes the requirement to present comparative information for any periods beginning before the first annual reporting period for which AASB 12 is applied.

Furthermore, AASB 2012-10 defers the mandatory effective date of AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12, AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (August 2011) and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Arrangements (August 2011) for not-for-profit entities

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2015, they are unlikely to have any significant impact on the entity given that they are largely clarification of existing transitional provisions

(u) Going Concern

Notwithstanding the net loss for the year and the accumulated losses for the consolidated entity, the directors have performed a review of the cash flow forecasts and have considered the cash flow needs and consider the company a going concern.

The directors have approved the company’s forward business plans with an understanding that sufficient cash resources are available to meet the company’s net commitments over the next twelve months.

The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as the company has a number of options for raising future capital requirements and the directors are confident that one or more of these options will be successful during the period. Additionally as a fall back equity based funding options are available to the company to continue its research and development efforts.

The company obtained a valuation of the intellectual property from an independent valuer Acuity Technology Management Pty Ltd to assist the directors in assessing impairment. The methodology used by the independent valuer to determine the value of the intellectual property was based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) method adjusted for the probability of achieving certain milestones. The DCF was based on management cash flow projections for 3 years and extrapolated for a further 9 years by the valuer. Greater than 5 years is appropriate based on the expected life cycle of the technology. The DCF has been discounted at between 12% and 15% (2012:15% to 17%). Other general market considerations have been considered including the market capitalisation of BluGlass. The IP was assessed thave a value between $24.3 million to $33.9 million.

NOTE 22: OPERATING SEGMENTS

(a) Business and geographical segments

The Group identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of research and development activities. The Groups operation has one main risk profile and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

  • the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

  • the manufacturing process;

  • the type or class of customer for the product or service;

  • the distribution method; and any external regulatory requirements

Applying the above criteria, the Group only has one operating division being the research and manufacture of Gallium Nitride (GaN).

The Group operates in one geographical area being in Australia. The Group did not undertake any new operations and it did not discontinue any of its existing operations during the year.

The Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) has been delegated responsibility by the Board of Directors for, amongst other issues, monitoring and managing financial risk exposures of the Group. The ARC monitors the Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions within the scope of its authority. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to commodity price risk, counter party credit risk, currency risk, financing risk and interest rate risk. The ARC meets regularly and minutes are reviewed by the Board.

The ARC’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments is interest rate risk. Other risks include foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, and commodity and equity price risk.

The maximum exposure to financial risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

(a) Credit Risk

The group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

(b) Price Risk

The group has no exposure to commodity price risk.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

(c) Liquidity Risk (cont.)

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 long-term 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 significantly exceed the current cash outflow requirements.

As at 30 June 2013 the Groups non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:

To the extent they are applicable, the Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Principles (2nd edition) (“ Principles ”) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASXCGC”).

----- End of picture text -----

In accordance with recommendations of the ASX, information published on the Company’s web site includes charters of Board and its subcommittees, codes of conduct and other policies and procedures relating to the Board and its responsibilities. A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Company’s website www.bluglass.com.au under the Corporate Governance Section.

The Board will consider on an ongoing basis its Corporate Governance procedures and whether they are sufficient as the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope. Bluglass Limited’s corporate governance practices were in place for the year ending 30th June 2013 and other than outlined below the corporate governance practices of Bluglass Limited were compliant with the Council’s recommendations during the year.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES

The Company has established the Role and Responsibilities of the Chairman, the Board (i.e. Board Charter) and the Company’s CEO. A description of these functions and matters delegated to the CEO can be found in Annexure 1 of the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement on the Company’s website.

BOARD STRUCTURE

The composition of the board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

  • the board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

  • the board shall meet at least every second month and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.

LOWER TEMPERATURE

Each of the directors are considered independent by virtue of the fact that each individual is not a member of management, is not a substantial shareholder of the Company and is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the independent exercise of their judgment.

In accordance with the ASXCGC principles, the majority of the Company’s directors, including the Chairman are independent.

As part of discharging its obligations as directors of the Company, the Directors will, from time to time need to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company. Accordingly, the board has agreed that where issues or matters arise in relation to the running of the Company, that in the opinion of the directors require independent professional advice to assist in the decision making surrounding the resolution of these issues, the board may engage such professional advice providing it is on standard commercial terms for advice of its nature.

Please refer to page 10 of the 2013 Annual Financial Report for the relevant skills and experience of each of the directors.

BOARD SUB COMMITTEES

The Board has established a nomination and remuneration committee and an audit and risk management committee. The name of members of each committee and their attendance at meetings is contained on page 18 of the Annual Report. A copy of each respective Committee’s Charter is contained in Annexure 5 and 6 of the Company Corporate Governance statement, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.

One of the responsibilities of the audit and risk management committee is to ensure that the Company’s external auditors have in place an appropriate policy in relation to partner rotation. The audit and risk management committee assesses each proposed audit partner to ensure they have the appropriate level of experience and expertise to adequately lead the independent audit function.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter specifically indicates that the remuneration packages of non-executive directors, executive directors and senior executives are to be considered separately and structured appropriately for the role undertaken.

The Board can confirm that it has received written assurance from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the declaration provided by them in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively and in relation to financial reporting risks. The Board notes that due to its nature, internal control assurance from the CEO and CFO can only be reasonable rather than absolute. This is due to such factors as the need for judgement, the use of testing on a sample basis, the inherent limitations in internal control and because much of the evidence available is persuasive rather than conclusive and therefore is not and cannot be designed to detect all weaknesses in control procedures.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND DIVERSITY

The Company has established a Code of Conduct and an Employee/Executive Share Trading Policy which is contained in Annexure 2 and 3 respectively of the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.

BluGlass has established a Diversity Policy that outlines the Company’s commitment to diversity and the active steps the Company will take in implementing the policy, commensurate with a company of its size and the industry with which it operates. A copy of the Diversity Policy is contained in Annexure 7 of the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.

Our policy is to recruit and manage on the basis of qualification for the position and performance, regardless of gender, age, nationality, race, religious beliefs, cultural background, sexuality or physical ability. Due to the Company’s current size and level of activity there has been limited opportunity with which to measure the Company’s commitment to its diversity policy during the 2013 financial year. During the year there was minimal staff movement and no change to the Company’s executive team. The board discusses its diversity policy at board meeting’s were potential changes to the work force is discussed.

It is essential that the Company employs the appropriate person for each job and that each person strives for a high level of performance.

TIMELY DISCLOSURE

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement contains the Company’s policy to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rules continuous disclosure obligations and the Company’s policy to ensure timely and effective shareholder communication, including the encouragement for shareholders to participate at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement is available on the Company’s website.

BOARD AND SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASXCGC”) recommendation 2.5 requires the disclosure of the process for performance evaluation of the board, its committees and individual directors, and key executives.

In conjunction with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the directors formally review, on an annual basis the composition and performance of the board to ensure that an appropriate balance of required skills is present. If deemed necessary a formal process of board nomination and subsequent director election is undertaken by the board and at times the board may utilise the services of external consultants to assist in the nomination and election of board members and to assist in evaluating the board’s performance.

The board is responsible for evaluating the performance of the CEO. A formal review of the CEO’s performance is conducted on an annual basis. The performance of the CEO is assessed and measured against predefined key performance indicators and generally accepted good business principles. During the year, the board evaluated the performance of the CEO on a formal basis in accordance with its evaluation process.

The CEO is responsible for evaluating the performance of the Company’s senior executives. The CEO evaluates the performance of the Company’s senior executives on an annual basis against predefined key performance indicators and generally accepted good business principles. In addition to the formal performance evaluation process which was undertaken during the year, given the size of the Company’s current operations and the limited number of senior executives, the CEO evaluates the performance of the senior executives on an ongoing basis.

OTHER INFORMATION

There are currently no schemes for retirement benefits, other than superannuation, for any directors.

The Company’s corporate governance practices and policies are publicly available at the Company’s registered office.
