REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The 2017 Financial Year has seen major advancements for BluGlass, both with the accelerated development of our disruptive Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) platform technology; and in preparing the path for industry acceptance and commercialisation.

To deliver on our goals the Group has significantly matured and de-risked the RPCVD technology by entering into another major collaboration agreement with a market leader, growing its world class technology team and recruiting a technology commercialisation expert to the BluGlass Board. The company also raised $8.1M operational capital to provide the company with sufficient financial runway to expedite BluGlass’ delivery capacity and capability which also enabled the successful upgrade of both RPCVD platforms, the BLG-180 and BLG-300.

BluGlass is continuing to make strong progress on its collaboration and evaluation agreements with several of the world’s leading LED and power electronics companies. All of these achievements provide a robust foundation for the company as we work to deliver successful outcomes in our industry evaluations.

RPCVD Technology Highlights

In September 2016, BluGlass announced that it had commissioned the upgraded BLG-180 (the smaller of BluGlass’ two RPCVD systems). The upgrade was designed to help address the scalability and deposition uniformity of RPCVD required for commercial demonstrations. The upgraded chamber builds and improves on the existing RPCVD performance benchmarks; as well as creating a modular chamber design that can be easily scaled to larger deposition areas.

During October 2016, BluGlass was pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the technology demonstration outlined in Phase I of its exclusive evaluation agreement with industry leading LED company, Lumileds. This required BluGlass to successfully deliver several technical milestones and significantly advance the RPCVD technology development. The two companies are now collaborating on Phase II of the evaluation, where Lumileds will further investigate the integration of BluGlass’ RPCVD technology in their LED applications.

November saw BluGlass demonstrating good improvement in thickness uniformity from the upgraded BLG-180 deposition chamber. These improvements in thickness uniformity are now of a suitable level to satisfy requirements for industry demonstrations on 2” wafers.

Also in November, BluGlass announced that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with IQE (LON: IQE) to develop specific enabling technology for high quality nitride films deposited by Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) on both silicon wafers and on specially engineered cREO™ silicon substrates.

IQE is one of the world’s leading semiconductor foundries and a global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced semiconductor wafer products. IQE products are deployed in high performance components by major global chip companies to produce a wide range of high-tech applications for the wireless industry, including in smartphone and wireless infrastructure, Wi-Fi, base stations, GPS, and satellite communications; optical communications and optical storage.

IQE Group’s Vice President, Dr. Rodney Pelzel said at the time of the announcement “We are extremely pleased to announce our collaboration with BluGlass. BluGlass’ world leading RPCVD technology is highly complementary to IQE’s existing technology portfolio, and the collaboration is a key step in overcoming challenges inherent to epigrowth of cutting edge materials”.

During May 2017, BluGlass expanded its technology team to better enable the company’s growing commercialisation activity with the addition of two Process Engineers. Joining the engineering staff, the Process Engineers are responsible for assisting with the optimisation of RPCVD, device design and characterisation; and to deliver custom epitaxy services. BluGlass continues to attract exceptional talent to our specialist team, and the new staff bring a strong blend of skills and expertise to further enhance our world-class team.

Most recently in August, BluGlass announced that the upgraded BLG-300, the larger RPCVD platform had been successfully installed and commissioned. The upgraded platform demonstrated good progress in initial runs towards the uniformity and electrical properties required for the BluGlass industry evaluations. The upgraded BLG-300 has demonstrated that the new modular chamber design can be successfully implemented. This should be replicable in the future to enable even larger deposition RPCVD platforms.

While the performance optimisation of the hardware and process adjustments are ongoing, the BLG-300 is anticipated to return to the BluGlass industry evaluation work in early September. BluGlass and Lumileds agree that the Phase II Collaboration undertaken to date has made substantial progress. The application for RPCVD that BluGlass is exploring with Lumileds is very compelling, as demonstrated by the high level of commitment from Lumileds on the collaboration project. This along with the IQE collaboration will again be expedited with the upgraded BLG-300 recommencing industry work in the coming weeks.

Foundry Highlights

In November, the company announced that it received a significant order commitment from a new customer, Seren Photonics for approximately $600,000 of specialist epitaxy (foundry) development work to be delivered over a 12month period. Seren Photonics is developing gallium nitride (GaN) technology targeting LED and other applications.

In June 2017, BluGlass announced that it had successfully facilitated the transfer of Seren Photonic’s unique GaN template process to the BluGlass MOCVD platform, with the objective of transferring the process from laboratory scale equipment onto a production relevant MOCVD platform.

Seren’s application, semi-polar gallium nitride (GaN), is an alternative GaN template for the manufacture of LEDs that overcomes many of the problems associated with the green gap (inability to make efficient green LEDs using MOCVD) and has the potential to also address LED efficiency droop, where the LEDs become gradually less efficient at high power. BluGlass and Seren are working together to demonstrate commercially viable semi-polar devices including reviewing the potential to use BluGlass’ proprietary RPCVD technology to further improve the performance of green LEDs.

BluGlass continues to work with a number of customers assisting with their product development and providing a platform for future collaborations.

Governance and Finance News

In October 2016, BluGlass raised $5m via an institutional placement to support the company’s three existing evaluation and collaboration agreements, and to enable BluGlass to explore additional strategic industry discussions and opportunities.

This was supported by a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) in December 2016 which raised $3.1m, placing BluGlass in a strong financial position to execute its commercialisation plans, expedite hardware upgrades and grow the technology team.

Following the BluGlass 2016 AGM in November, BluGlass’ Chairman, George Venardos retired from the company’s Board after serving as Chairman for the previous six years and prior to this, as a Non-Executive Director since December 2008. The Board appointed Dr. William Johnson to replace Mr. Venardos as Chairman. Dr. Johnson was ‐ previously a Non Executive Director and was appointed to the Board in September 2010.

More recently in July 2017, the BluGlass Board was strengthened with the addition of James Walker joining as a nonexecutive director. James is a seasoned executive, with a track record in successfully commercialising cutting-edge technology in emerging markets. James brings a wealth of experience to the BluGlass Board with over twenty years’ executive and board experience, where he has built and scaled-up businesses across a wide range of global technology industries; from software, mining technology services, automotive, aviation, biotechnology, drone detection and security sectors. James has headed a number of Australian and international technology companies, including as Chief Executive Officer of DroneShield (ASX:DRO), Chief Financial Officer of Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE). He is presently the Chief Financial Officer of Fulcrum Pty Limited.

In conclusion, 2017 has been a successful year for the Company, laying the foundations for our industry acceptance milestones and preparing the company for commercialisation. Whilst this has taken some time, the BluGlass board and management look forward to delivering commercial outcomes for our shareholders and our breakthrough technology in the year ahead.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The consolidated loss for the period increased 6.8% to $3,660,557 (2016: $3,427,566).

The net assets of the consolidated entity increased by $4,465,061 to $18,701,811 (2016: $14,236,750) due the capital raise completed during the period.

Revenue has decreased by $108,066 down 3.7% to $2,801,850. Material variations in revenue received are as follows:

  • Revenue for the provision of foundry services to third parties of $550,087 (up 72%) was received for the year compared to $318,577 in the 2016 financial year.

==> picture [13 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • The major variance from last year was there was no payments remaining from the Clean Technology Innovation Grant. Grant receipts in 2016 from the Commonwealth Climate Ready Grant Programme were $342,447.

Gross expenditure has increased by $124,925, up 2.0% to $6,462,407 due to the following factors:

  • Salaries and wages increased by $138,578 up 5.2% (2016: $2,615,989) due to an increase in staff numbers during the financial year

==> picture [13 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Patents and trademark costs increased by $82,542 up 66% (2016:$124,182) during the year due to the renewal of patents that were required during the financial year.

==> picture [13 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Depreciation expense is reducing as our research equipment is progressively written off, $474,747 (2016: $603,252.

==> picture [13 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

Net cash required for operational expenses, and capital expenditure averaged $305,046 per month, (2016: $293,964). The increase is mainly due to the decrease in grants received from AusIndustry and the increase in staff costs.

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 all research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and not capitalised. Accounting standards require that the originally acquired Intangible Assets, being the Intellectual Property associated with Patents 1 & 2 acquired from Macquarie University in 2006, be tested annually to ensure no impairment to the carrying value has occurred. The current value of $8.695m has been reviewed by independent valuers and the directors have accepted their assessment that no impairment to the carrying value is warranted. This valuation is supported by the cornerstone nature of Patents 1 & 2 that were acquired from Macquarie University. Management’s and the Board’s view is that these patents are still fundamental enablers to the company’s RPCVD technology.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

Other than the developments reported elsewhere in this report, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs during the year.

DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED

No dividends were declared in 2017 or 2016.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

There were no reportable financial matters subsequent to the end of the Financial Year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

BluGlass will position itself to take advantage of the growing LED, power electronics and solar markets in order to maximise shareholder return.

BluGlass will continue to validate the RPCVD technology as the company works towards its industry acceptance goals in order to commercialise the technology.

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 compliance with relevant regulatory environmental, health and safety codes, as do all facility emmisions.

The company has in place OHS&E procedures and a Safety Manager who reports weekly to the Managing Director on all safety and environmental related matters. BluGlass meets and exceeds all state and federal OHS&E statutory requirements.

There were no reportable incidents during the period. Reviews of site operations during the period has led to the implementation of new operational procedures. Bluglass has also recently adopted a cloud based WHS reporting and management system as part of its ongoing commitment to site safety.

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;

  1. a competitive market related fixed remuneration component,

  2. a small component of short term incentives and

  3. 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.

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.

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 in association with an employee share trust that creates goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

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. Longer term 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. No options or shares were issued to executives during the period in respect to the LTI’s. 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 are 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 is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the executive. Options issued during the year are valued at the closing share price at grant date less the exercise price where appropriate.

BLUGLASS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ABN 20 116 825 793 | FINANCIAL STATEMENT YEAR END 30 JUNE 2017

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

CONTRACTED EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION

The company secretary, Emanuel Correia is contracted to BluGlass from Cardrona Energy Pty Ltd. The contract includes provisions that the contract may be terminated by either party with one months’ notice. Payments for services to Cardrona were $79,200 in 2016 and 2017. As a contracted position the company secretary 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.

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 deemed 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 BASED REMUNERATION

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 KPIs 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 KPIs 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.

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved and the period of employment for the period. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the following year. The majority of executives KPIs for the year ending June 2016 were met, performance payment’s were made during the year for the achievement and paid in late August 2016.

The IP portfolio at the end of 30 June 2017 now includes 47 granted patents in various countries, covering six separate patent families. In addition there are 9 patent applications in various stages filed in numerous countries.

Options are vested when vesting criteria have been met. Options are then converted into ordinary shares and held in the BluGlass Employee Share scheme Trust until they are elected to be withdrawn by the beneficiary.

For clarity the vested options held as shares in the Trust are also disclosed in the KMP's shareholding above as they can be exercised and withdrawn at any time once vested.

SHARES ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF COMPENSATION OPTIONS

Options totalling 2,842,000 were exercised during the year by the Company’s employee share trust, BluGlass Employee Incentive Plan Pty Ltd. When options that have been granted as compensation in prior periods meet the requisite vesting conditions they are exercised by the trust into shares. These shares are then held in the share trust for the eligible employees until employees exercise their right to withdraw the shares from the trust. During the year 3,161,777 shares were withdrawn from the trust.

APPROVAL OF 2016 REMUNERATION REPORT

A resolution seeking approval of the 2016 Remuneration Report was tabled at the November 2016 Annual General Meeting. The resolution was passed at that meeting with the vote in favour recorded of 99.5%.

REMUNERATION ADVISORS

No remuneration advisors were engaged during the year or any formal remuneration advice was received during the year.

DIVERSITY POLICY

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 2017 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.

BLUGLASS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ABN 20 116 825 793 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR END 30 JUNE 2017

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 21[st] August 2017 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. Bluglass controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

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 13 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.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(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 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 20-100%
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 profit or loss statement.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(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 noncash 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 profit or loss.

BLUGLASS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ABN 20 116 825 793 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR END 30 JUNE 2017

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. Nonmonetary 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 profit or loss, 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 cash flows are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

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 straightline 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.

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

(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 12: 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 22. 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.

Key estimates — Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes have not been recognised on the Company’s tax losses due to the uncertainty in relation to the timing of the losses being utilised in the future.

  • (s) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time in annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. Information om the more significant standards(s) is presented below

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which becomes mandatory for 30 June 2019 consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2015-4 amends AASB128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to ensure that its reporting requirements on Australian groups with a foreign patent align with those currently available in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements for such groups. AASB 128 will now only require the ultimate Australian entity to apply the equity method in accounting for interests in associates and joint ventures, if either the entity or the group is a reporting entity, or both the entity and group are reporting entities.

AASB 2015-4 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015 the adoption of this amendment has not had a material impact on the group.

(t) Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and not adopted early by the Group

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Of the new standards, only the below are expected to have as effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

  • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers that replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction contracts and some revenue related interpretations which becomes mandatory for 30 June 2019 consolidated financial statements .

  • Establishes a new revenue recognition model

  • Changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time.

  • Provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (e.g. multiple element arrangements, variable pricing, right of return, warranties and licensing)

  • Expands and improves disclosure about revenue.

When this standard is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019, there will be no material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

BLUGLASS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ABN 20 116 825 793 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR END 30 JUNE 2017

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

  • AASB 16 Leases replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease related interpretations which becomes mandatory for the Groups 30 June 2020 consolidated financial statements.

  • Requires all leases to be accounted for ‘on-balance sheet’ by lessees, other than short-term and low value asset leases.

  • Provides new guidance on the application of the definition of lease and on sale and lease back accounting

  • Largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB117

  • Requires new and different disclosures about leases.

Based on the entity’s assessment, it is expected that the first-time adoption of AASB 16 for the year ending 30 June 2020 will have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements, in particular:

· lease assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet will increase by an estimated $233,972 (based on the facts at the date of the assessment)

· there will be a reduction in the reported equity as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more quickly than the carrying amount of lease liabilities

· EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expenses

· operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities. Interest can also be included within financing activities

The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

  • (u) Going Concern

Notwithstanding the net loss for the year and the accumulated losses for the Consolidated Group, the directors have performed a review of the cash flow forecasts and consider the Company to be 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 commitments over the next twelve months.

The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as the company also has a number of options for raising future capital requirements. Additionally as a fall back equity based funding options are available to the company to continue its research and development efforts.

NOTE 12: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (cont.)

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 10 years covering a variety of revenue scenarios that includes, manufacturing, royalties and retro-fitting existing machinery. The market information has been drawn from industry sources and the Company’s current level of technology development. Greater than 5 years is appropriate based on the expected life cycle of the technology. The DCF has been discounted at between 15% and 17% (2016:15% to 17%). Other general market considerations have been considered including the market capitalisation of BluGlass. The IP was assessed to have a value between $22.2 million to $28.1 million.

NOTE 20: 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 Group’s 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:

==> picture [19 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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

==> picture [19 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

the manufacturing process;

==> picture [19 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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

==> picture [19 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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 risk 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.

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

(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 dayto-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.

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 2017 the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT

We have audited the financial report of Bluglass Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • b Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Intangible asset impairment(Note 12)
The Group has an intangible asset recorded on
the Statement of Financial Position totalling
$8.6 million, relating to Intellectual Property (IP)
associated with the acquisition of Gallium
enterprise. The IP represents in process
development relating to core technology which
was recognised at cost of acquisition. The
asset is not currently available for use.
AASB 138:_Intangible Assets_sets out the
specific requirements to be met in order to
capitalise development costs. AASB 136:
_Impairment of Assets_requires an entity to test
for impairment, at least annually, the carrying
amount of an intangible asset that is not yet
available for use.
This area is a key audit matter due to the
subjectivity and management judgement
applied in the assessment of whether costs
meet the development phase criteria described
in AASB 138 and in relation to the impairment
testing required by AASB 136.
Our procedures included; amongst others:

evaluating managements processes to
obtain and document an understanding of
their process and controls to assess the risk
of impairment;

reviewed management’s valuation of IP
prepared by Management’s external expert;

assessed the competence and
independence of Management’s external
expert;

obtained from management available
evidence to support the key assumptions
within the model including performing
sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions
including discount rates and revenue model;

tested the mathematical accuracy of the
model;

considered the reasonableness of the
revenue and costs forecasts against current
year actuals; and

reviewing historical reliability of budgets and
forecasts to support managements
estimation process; and

assessing the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures.
Research and Development Rebate(Note 2)
The Group accounts for the Research &
Development (R&D) tax incentive as a
Government Grant in accordance with AASB
120_Accounting for Government Grants and_
Disclosure of Government Assistance.
An R&D plan is filed with AusIndustry in the
following financial year and, based on this filing,
the Group receives the incentive via a grant.
This area is a key audit matter due to the
inherent subjectivity that is involved in the
Company making judgements in relation to the
calculation and recognition of the R&D tax
incentive income and receivable.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
•making enquiries with management to obtain
and document an understanding of their
process to calculate the R&D tax incentive;
•comparing the methodology and nature of
the expenditure included in the current year
estimate to the prior period claim;
•comparing the eligible expenditure used in
the receivable calculation to the expenditure
recorded in the general ledger;
•inspecting copies of relevant correspondence
with AusIndustry and the ATO related to the
claims;
•reviewing historical reliability of estimates
and budgets and changes in legislation to
support the reliability of the estimate;
•determine the use and reliance of
management’s expert in preparation of the
R&D Return evaluated of the qualifications
and expertise of the external specialist in
order to assess their professional
competence and capabilities as they relate to
the work undertaken; and
•reviewing relevant disclosures in the financial
statements.

Share Based Payments(Note 22)
During the year, the Group granted 2,100,000
share based payments to employees and a
service provider as part compensation for
capital raising services provided. The share
based payments will vest when certain
technology hurdles are met.
The Company engaged a valuation specialist
during the current period to provide a valuation
of these share-based payment using a Black-
Scholes model.
This area is key audit matter due to the
inherent subjectivity involved in the Company
making judgements relating to the key inputs
and assumptions used to value the options,
including historical volatility and the risk free
rate of return.
Our procedures included, amongst others:

tested the valuation of the share options by
assessing the following input data:

share price

strike price

dividend yield

risk free rate

volatility

grant date

vesting period

expiry date;

performed a shadow calculation of the risk
free rate at grant date, dividend yield and
volatility to assess if the input data used by
the Company was within a reasonable
range;

verified the grant date to publicly available
supporting data;

assessed attributes in respect of the
valuation of the share options including the
vesting conditions;

considered whether these attributes were
appropriately included in the share option
valuation model;

evaluated of the qualifications and
expertise of the external specialist in order
to assess their professional competence
and capabilities as they relate to the work
undertaken; and

assessing the adequacy of the Company’s
disclosures.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
