EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board I am delighted to present to you the ClearVue Technologies Limited Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2021.

ClearVue is an Australian technology company that operates in the building sustainability solutions sector and has developed a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology and product that integrates solar technology into glass and building surfaces. Specifically, ClearVue has developed advanced glass technology that preserves glass transparency to maintain building aesthetics whilst generating electricity from windows. Solar PV cells are incorporated around the edges of an insulated glass unit (IGU) used in windows, and the lamination interlayer between the glass in the IGU incorporates ClearVue’s patented proprietary nano and microparticles as well as its spectrally selective coating on the rear external surface of the IGU.

Despite certain setbacks and delays brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting counterparties and third-party supply and delivery chains the Company has over the last 12 months, progressed with its stated focus on its key markets of Europe and the US.

To this end, the Company has employed a European CEO in Dieter Moor who is an experienced CEO with a background in electrical engineering who until recently ran a large building integrated photovoltaics business. Mr Moor stated in May 2021. As Europe’s borders have started to open up internally, Mr Moor has travelled within Europe to introduce the ClearVue product to his established networks on behalf of the Company.

As part of its European expansion ClearVue has also now established its European subsidiary structure in the Netherlands with the European operating entity operating under the name and style of ClearVue Europe B.V.

In the US the Company has focussed its efforts on technology development and sales and promotional activities to promote the company and product in this key market. On the technology development front ClearVue’s US-based VP Development Steve Coonen, has worked closely with collaboration partners D2 Solar to develop the single- and double-glazed products and has also focussed on delivery and integration of a version of this product into a key demonstration project in New York. Additionally, the company has focussed its efforts on attracting US based investors by dual listing onto the OTCQB exchange in New York in April.

Highlights from 1 July 2020 to 31 June 2021 include:

Personnel

20 Jan 21 ClearVue announced the appointment of European CEO Mr Dieter Moor from 1 May 2021. Mr Moor brings more than 16 years’ experience in building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and more than 25 years in construction more generally. He has been involved in over 2000 BIPV projects worldwide and until joining ClearVue was CEO and significant shareholder of ertex solar GMBH, a subsidiary of the Vinci Construction group. 18 Jan 21 ClearVue announced the resignation of interim CEO Ken Jagger. 25 Aug 20 The Board was restructured with the appointment of Mr Roger Steinepreis to the board with the stepping down of Mr Jamie Lyford and Mr Sean Rosenberg. Mr Steinepreis brings extensive ASX board experience to the new Board. Mr Lyford continued in an expanded executive capacity as COO and General Counsel. 23 Jul 20 ClearVue appointed Mr Ken Jagger as its interim Chief Executive Officer

  • Technology development milestones; and

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Constitution states that the Company may pay to the Non-Executive Directors a maximum total amount of director's fees, determined by the Company in general meeting, or until so determined, as the Directors resolve. Fees for the NonExecutive Directors’ are presently set at $350,000 per annum including superannuation. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company.

The Non-Executive salary remuneration became effective from the date of the appointment of the Company to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Executive Remuneration

The Company’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a short- and long-term performance-based component. The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-cash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive

The Board has not implemented a system where Executives are entitled to annual cash bonuses. The Company may provide pay performance bonuses to Executives as determined by the Board from time to time. No bonuses were paid or are payable in relation to the 2021 financial year.

Company Performance Shares and Rights

The Board has previously chosen to issue Performance Shares and Rights (where appropriate) to some executives as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Company.

7

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive

In the future the Board may grant Options to executives and key consultants to provide incentivebased remuneration, with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, Incentive Options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options granted. It is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Company are closely related.

The Company prohibits executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Performance Shares or Incentive Options granted as part of their remuneration package.

The Company has implemented an Employee Incentive Plan and a Loan Funded Share Plan and the ClearVue Officer, Employee and Adviser Share Plan.

The Board did issue Performance Shares and Performance Rights to Key Management Personnel and has implemented a Loan Funded Share Plan which will generally be of value if the Company’s shares appreciate over time. However, it should be noted that all Director Shares granted under the Loan Funded Share Plan and all Performance Shares had been imposed in escrow (sale) restriction period for two years after listing. This is in line with the Company policy that Company securities be used for long term incentive for Directors.

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial report:

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated financial report covers ClearVue Technologies Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”). The Company is a Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia; whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office and its principal place of business is 16 Ord Street, West Perth, WA 6005, Australia.

The consolidated annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 29 September 2020. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

The consolidated annual report is a general-purpose financial report that have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , 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).

Nature of Operations

The principal activities of the Group during the course of the year were research and development activities applied to the Company’s world leading solar glass technology.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the consolidated annual report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Except for cash flow information, the consolidated annual report is prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs. The consolidated annual report has been prepared under the assumption that the Group operates on a going concern basis. The financial statements have been presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

2.2 GOING CONCERN

The Group incurred an operating loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $6,917,061and reported net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,928,908 and investing activities of $904,933. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had available cash and cash equivalents of $15,887,483. The Company has the ability to defer or reduce its operating expenditure. However, based on its current projected work program, it is anticipated that the Company has sufficient funds to operate for approximately 4 years if no further funds are received.

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.2 GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

As at date of report, the Directors have reviewed the Company’s financial position and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate having regard to the matters outlined above. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and or settle its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

2.3 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

2.4 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment is initially recorded at the cost of acquisition or fair value less, if applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment that has been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, is valued and recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. The plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure that the carrying amount 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 utilisation of the assets and the subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in estimating recoverable amounts.

Depreciation is computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture 10% - 15%
Office equipment 28% - 33.3%
Machinery 13% - 15%

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of plant and equipment.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Patents and Trademarks

Patents and trademarks costs are capitalised in the period in which they are incurred and amortised over their useful lives. Patents and trademark would be amortised over 20 years from the date of purchase. The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards Board 101 (AASB) presentation of financial statements.

Research and Development

Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised over the period of their expected useful life, when the asset is determined available for use. Patents costs that relate to projects that are in the development phase are capitalised. Research and development grants receivable are matched to their classification of expenditure. In the periods where research costs are expensed, the related research and development grant is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as other income. In periods where the Group incurs Development Costs, the related Research and Development grant is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The carrying value of development expenditure, intangible assets and intellectual property is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the capitalised development carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the recoverable amount, management have used fair value less costs of disposal. The fair value is calculated using a replacement cost methodology through a cost approach model. The key assumptions of the replacement cost calculation are:

  • All costs incurred directly or indirectly on designing, manufacturing and testing were removed from the replacement cost calculation.

  • Management estimates were used to add to the replacement cost calculation a margin mark-up to the costs that the Group had incurred, to reflect what the costs would be if the Group had paid a 3rd party to reproduce the work.

  • The tax effect, at 30% was removed from the replacement cost calculation.

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.6 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

2.7 PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation resulting from past events, for which it is probable that there will be an outflow of economic benefits and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate available of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

2.8 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

  • Amortised cost

  • Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

  • Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

31

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.8 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Classifications are determined by both:

  • The entities business model for managing the financial asset

  • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

  • They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows

  • The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as government bonds that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139.

There are no FVPL and FVOCI instruments for the group.

Impairment of Financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • Financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

  • Financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.8 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forwardlooking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Group’s financial liabilities were not impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, the accounting policy is disclosed below. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

2.9 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

At each reporting date, the directors review the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives. This includes any capitalised internally developed software that is not yet complete is not amortised, but is subject to impairment testing. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

2.10 CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.10 CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION (CONTINUED)

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

2.11 ISSUED CAPITAL

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is determined by dividing the operating profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to members of ClearVue Technologies Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share adjusts the amounts used in the determination of basic loss per share by taking into account unpaid amounts on ordinary shares and any reduction in loss per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.

2.12 REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME RECOGNITION

Grant income

Grant income is recognised in the income statement, when it is probable that the entity will receive the economic benefits of the grant and the amount can be reliably measured. If the grant has conditions attached which must be satisfied before the entity is eligible to receive the grant, the recognition of the income will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

Where the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value back to the grant contributor, the transaction is considered a reciprocal transaction and the income is recognised as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of financial position until the required service has been completed, otherwise the income is recognised on receipt.

The Group receives non-reciprocal contributions of assets from the government and other parties for a nominal of zero value. These assets are recognised at their fair value on the date of acquisition in the Consolidated Statement of financial position, with an equivalent amount of income recognised in the income statement.

Government grants are recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.12 REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

2.13 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s liabilities for annual leave and long service leave are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any remeasurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

2.14 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • During the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired option of the vesting period.

  • From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.15 INCOME TAX

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the end of each financial year.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

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 profit and loss 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.

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 tax legislation and the anticipation that the economic 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.

2.16 GOODS AND SERVICE TAX (GST)

Transactions are recognised net of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of financial position.

2.17 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

When preparing the financial report, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The management is of the opinion that there are no significant judgments made (other than those involving estimates) in applying accounting policies that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

2.17 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that these assets may be impaired. This includes any capitalised internally developed software that is not yet complete is not amortised. The Group considers the guidance of AASB 136 in assessing whether there is any indication that an item of the above assets may be impaired. This assessment requires management’s judgement. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated to ascertain the amount of impairment loss. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use.

In determining the value in use of assets, the Group applies a discounted cash flow model where the future cash flows derived from such assets are discounted at an appropriate rate. Forecasts of future cash flow are estimated based on financial budgets and forecasts approved by the management. Based on management’s assessment, there is no indication of impairment as at the end of the reporting period.

Useful lives of intangible assets

The Group reviews the appropriateness of the useful lives and residual values of intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and residual values of these assets. Where there is a material change in the useful lives and residual values of intangible assets, such a change may impact the future amortisation charge in the financial year in which the change arises.

Deferred tax

The Company expects to have carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets as it is not considered sufficiently probable that these losses will be recouped by means of future profits taxable in the relevant jurisdictions.

2.18 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of ClearVue Technologies Limited ('Company') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Group and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.18 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED)

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

2.19 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Board of Directors. They are responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

2.20 LEASES

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

  • The contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group

  • The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract

  • The Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

Measurement and recognition of leases

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).

The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist. At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.20 LEASES (CONTINUED)

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in insubstance fixed payments.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019

Finance leases

Management applies judgment in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Key factors considered include the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.

For leases of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component based on the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated separately for possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact that land normally has an indefinite economic life.

See the accounting policy note in the year-end financial statements for the depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held under finance leases. The interest element of lease payments is charged to profit or loss, as finance costs over the period of the lease.

Operating leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

  • 2.21 NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND NOT EARLY ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Group.

Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Financial risk management objectives

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, receivables, payables and related party loans.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified.

The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate, credit and liquidity risks in accordance with the Company’s risk management policy. The primary objective of the policy is to reduce the volatility of cash flows and asset values arising from such movements.

The Company uses different methods to measure and manage the different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring the levels of exposure to interest rate risk, ageing analysis and monitoring of credit allowances to manage credit risk and the use of future cash flow forecasts to monitor liquidity risk.

Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, with respect to each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Credit risk

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

During the year the Group capitalised $595,206 of project

evaluating the reasonableness of useful lives to be applied

This area is a key audit matter due to subjectivity and management judgement applied in the assessment of whether costs meet the development phase criteria described in AASB 138 along with the judgement required in determining whether development costs should be impaired.

Research and development tax incentives – Note 4 & 14 The Group receives a research and development (R&D) refundable tax offset from the Australian government which represents 43.5 cents in each dollar of eligible annual R&D expenditure, if its turnover is less than $20 million per annum. Registration of R&D Activities Application if files with AusIndustry in the following financial year and, based on this filing, the Group receives the incentive in cash. Management performed a detailed review of the Group’s total R&D expenditure to estimate the refundable tax offset receivable under the R&D tax incentive legislation.

This is a key audit matter due to the size of the accrual and the degree of judgement and interpretation of the R&D tax legislation required by management to assess the eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme.

Our procedures included, amongst others:  obtaining through discussions with management, an understanding of the process to estimate the claim;  utilising an internal R&D tax specialist to; o review the expenditure methodology employed by management for consistency with the R&D tax offset rules; and o consider the nature of the expenses against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax incentive scheme to form a view about whether the expenses included in the estimate meet the eligibility criteria;  comparing the nature of the R&D expenditure included in the current year estimate to the prior year claim;  selecting a sample of R&D expenditure and agreeing to supporting documentation to ensure appropriate classification, validity of the claimed amount and eligibility against the R&D tax incentive scheme criteria; and  assessing the appropriateness of financial statement disclosures.
