Carbonxt Group Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020
==> picture [88 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group') consisting of Carbonxt Group Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
Directors
The following persons were directors of Carbonxt Group Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Matthew Driscoll - Chairman Warren Murphy David Mazyck
Principal activities
During the financial half-year the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of the development and sale of specialised Activated Carbon ('AC') products, including Powdered Activated Carbon ('PAC') and AC pellets for the removal of pollutants and toxins in industrial processes.
These products are used in industrial air purification, waste water treatment and other liquid and gas phase markets, primarily for the capture of mercury and sulphur in order to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, as required by global regulations.
Review of operations
The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $2,544,243 (31 December 2019: $1,607,784).
Revenue for the half-year was $7,152,490 representing a decrease of 14.8% on the prior half-year's revenue of $8,394,724.
Revenues decreased 14.8% compared to 1H20 primarily within the powdered activated carbon business due to several factors including the impact of COVID-19 on utility operating patterns, and unplanned outages at select customer facilities.
The following table summarises key reconciling items between statutory loss after income tax and underlying EBITDA:
| Revenue Gross margin Other income Shipping and distribution costs Operating expenses Underlying EBITDA Depreciation and amortisation Underlying earnings before interest and tax ('EBIT') Net interest expense Other non-cash items Loss before income tax expense |

- Underlying EBITDA and underlying EBIT are financial measures which are not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (‘AAS’) and represent the profit or loss under AAS adjusted for non-specific non-cash and significant items.
As a result of the loss incurred and the operating cash outflows the half year ended 31 December 2020 and the liquidity at the reporting date, there is a material uncertainty on whether the Group can continue as a going concern. The directors consider that the Group will continue as a going concern, as explained in note 2 to the financial statements.

Carbonxt Group Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020
==> picture [88 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Carbonxt Group Limited as a Group consisting of Carbonxt Group Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year (referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Carbonxt Group Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Carbonxt Group Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business are:
Registered office
Principal place of business
Level 12, Grosvenor Place Suite 111 225 George Street 3951 NW 48th Terrace Sydney NSW 2000 Gainesville FL 32606 Australia United States of America
A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 February 2021.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Comparative information
Comparatives have been realigned to the current half-year presentation. There is no net effect on profit or loss and net assets for the comparative period.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
The Group incurred a loss after tax of $2,544,243 (31 December 2019: $1,607,784) and operating cash outflows of $1,651,980 (31:December 2019: $2,813,663) for the half year ended 31 December 2020. At 31 December 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $1,786,236 (30 June 2020: $312,765) and net current liabilities of $3,695,345 (30 June 2020 net current assets: $676,427), including borrowings of $4,673,575 classified as current at 31 December 2020. The Group is dependent on continued improvements in the operating performance of the business in order to generate positive operating cash flows. This results in a material uncertainty on whether the Group can continue as a going concern without future funding.

Carbonxt Group Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020
==> picture [88 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
The directors have assessed that the Group is and will remain a going concern and believe that the going concern basis of preparation of the accounts is appropriate, based upon the Group continuing to:
-
receive the ongoing support of lenders which would not require early repayment of borrowings of $4,673,575;
-
improve the operating performance of the business to generate positive operating cash flows;
-
proactively manage cash flow requirements, including deferring certain capital expenditures, to ensure that funds are available when required; and/or
-
obtain funding where required through various sources, including debt and equity issues.
Should the Group not achieve these outcomes, there may be uncertainty whether the Group would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of the recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group only has one reportable segment being the development and sale of specialised Activated Carbon ('AC') products, principally in the United States of America.
The operating segment information is therefore the same as the financial statements.
Note 4. Revenue
Disaggregation of revenue
The disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is as follows:

Note 11. Borrowings
Pure loan payable
During the period a continuing review event under the terms of the Facility Agreement with Pure Asset Management (“Lender”) occurred as a result of the Group’s trailing six months gross profit falling below US$2,000,000. A continuing review event provides the Lender with a right to notify the Company of an event of default. During the half year ended 31 December 2020 and up to the date of this report, the Lender or its agent has not notified the Company an event of default. The Lender has continued to be supportive to the Company and there is no indication an event of default will be made. However, the loan has been classified as current as at 31 December 2020 as while the continuing review event persists, the Company does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Members of Carbonxt Group Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Carbonxt Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of matter – material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the principal conditions that raise doubts about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions along with other matters disclosed in Note 2 indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at [period date] and its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does

not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
