CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board I am pleased to present to you the ClearVue Technologies Limited Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 and provide you with an update on the significant progress made by our company during that period.
ClearVue is an Australian smart building technology company that operates in the building sustainability solutions sector supplying glazing products responding to the global need for construction decarbonisation in a world where buildings and construction contribute nearly 43% of global greenhouse gas emissions. ClearVue’s solar photovoltaic glazing integrates solar technology into glass and building surfaces helping building owners to reach net zero through the generation of on-site electricity whilst at the same time improving the energy efficiency of the building envelope.
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 a spectrally selective coating on the rear external surface of the IGU.
One of the most important developments during the last year was the enhancement of our leadership and governance. We welcomed Martin Deil as the new Chief Executive Officer, Clifton Smyth as the new Chief Business Development Officer, and Gerd Hoenicke (Germany) and Charles Mowrey (USA) as new board members, each bringing valuable industry expertise to our team. Their collective experience and vision have already begun to materially shape the future of our company.
In terms of product innovation, we were excited to announce the successful development of our secondgeneration product. This breakthrough simplifies the assembly process and significantly reduces the cost and time required for producing our ClearVue PV energy generating integrated glazing units (IGUs). This innovation has not only increased the appeal of our offering but has also made it more competitive for potential manufacturing licensees. These licensees can now seamlessly integrate ClearVue PV IGUs into their production processes, expanding sales opportunities for both them and our company.
Furthermore, we've expanded our product portfolio by in-licensing photovoltaic solutions for the spandrel gap and wall cladding, covering the entire building envelope. This strategic move enables us to offer a comprehensive range of sustainable building solutions to meet evolving market demands.
In May 2023, we proudly showcased our new second-generation product and spandrel gap solution at a successful launch event in London. This event marked a significant milestone in our journey toward sustainability and innovation.
Throughout the year, we actively participated in various trials and evaluations, including thermal and power performance testing with the Singapore Building and Construction Authority's Skylab (continuing), paid-for trials with the Hong Kong government and in Gröbming, Austria, a small trial with Luxembourg's Building Training Institute, and an ongoing evaluation with the US Air Force in Florida (in partnership with Nodis Pte Ltd). We anticipate receiving the results of the US Air Force evaluation by the end of this calendar year.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS - Continued
In addition to these achievements, we expanded our visual communication capabilities by acquiring the intellectual property and assets of Lusoco B.V., a Netherlands-based company specializing in outdoor advertising solutions for bus shelters and signage applications. We also welcomed the founders of Lusoco to our team, strengthening our technical expertise, product offerings, and approach in this domain.
As we continue to focus on our key target markets in the US and Europe, we are preparing for the launch of our second-generation product. We remain committed to marketing and commercializing our technology to address the growing demand for sustainable building solutions in these regions.
In closing, I would like to express my gratitude to you, our valued shareholders, for your unwavering support. The year 2023 has been marked by remarkable achievements, and we are enthusiastic about the future prospects of our company under the leadership of our new team members.
Thank you for your trust and investment in our company. We look forward to an exciting and prosperous future together.
Sincerely
ClearVue Technologies Limited

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
I am delighted to share with you the remarkable progress and achievements of our company in the financial year that ended 30 June 2023.
First and foremost, I am honored to have joined the company as the new Chief Executive Officer, alongside other key additions to our leadership team, including Clifton Smyth as the Chief Business Development Officer, and the appointment of esteemed board members Gerd Hoenicke and Charles Mowrey. Together, we are working tirelessly to steer the company towards a future of growth and innovation.
One of the pivotal accomplishments of the year was the successful development of our secondgeneration product. This innovation simplifies the assembly process and significantly reduces production costs and timelines for our ClearVue PV energy generating integrated glazing units (IGUs). This advancement not only bolsters the attractiveness of our offerings but also enhances our competitiveness for potential manufacturing licensees. They can now effortlessly incorporate ClearVue PV IGUs into their production processes, expanding our market reach and sales opportunities.
Moreover, we broadened our product portfolio by in-licensing photovoltaic solutions for the spandrel gap and wall cladding, addressing the entire building envelope. This strategic expansion allows us to meet the diverse demands of the construction industry with sustainable and cutting-edge solutions.
Just before I officially joined I was very pleased to have been invited to attend the Company’s wellreceived launch event in London where our second-generation product and spandrel gap solution was revealed for the first time. This event served as a testament to the Company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, and it garnered significant attention from industry stakeholders.
Our expansion efforts extended to the realm of visual communication as well. We acquired the intellectual property and assets of Lusoco B.V., a Netherlands-based company specializing in outdoor advertising solutions for bus shelters and signage applications. Furthermore, we were fortunate to bring the founders of Lusoco into our team, augmenting our technical capabilities, product offerings, and overall approach to innovation management.
In line with our strategic objectives, we have continued to market and commercialize our technology in our key target markets, the US and Europe. We are diligently preparing for the launch of our secondgeneration product, aiming to seize the significant opportunities that lie ahead.
I extend my sincere gratitude to our esteemed shareholders for your steadfast support. Your belief in our company is the driving force behind our accomplishments, and we are excited about the promising future ahead. I am pleased to confirm that I have joined your ranks as a proud shareholder.
Thank you for entrusting us with your investment, and we look forward to achieving greater milestones together during this next year.
Warm regards,
Martin Deil Chief Executive Officer ClearVue Technologies Limited

-
Sales contract awards;
-
Technology development milestones; and
-
The performance of the Company’s shares as quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange.

7
CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
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.
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.
8
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.

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth and Earnings
The Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the development of its business activities. The Company does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends and returns of capital however this will be reviewed on and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the Company during the current and previous four financial years.
The Company did not consider appreciation of the Company’s shares when setting remuneration.
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.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Company during the year were developing a sales and leads pipeline for the Company’s products, licensing activities to appoint new manufacturers and distributors, as well as research and development activities applied to the Company’s world leading solar glass technology. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the financial year.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
The operating loss of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $7,497,092 (2022: $3,806,151), with net cash used in operating activities of $5,453,878 (2022: $3,255,238).
The Company made significant progress in the financial year ended 30 June 2023, by enhancing its leadership and governance with the appointment of Martin Deil as the new Chief Executive Officer, Clifton Smyth as the new Chief Business Development Officer, and Gerd Hoenicke (Germany) and Charles Mowrey (USA) as new board members with industry expertise.
The Company also developed its second generation of product, which simplifies the assembly and materially reduces the cost and time of producing the ClearVue PV energy generating integrated glazing units (IGUs). This product innovation has increased the attractiveness and competitiveness of the Company's offering to potential manufacturing licensees who, with minimal change to their production processes, can produce and distribute ClearVue PV IGUs in their local markets and expand the sales opportunities for the Company.
Furthermore, the Company diversified its product portfolio by in-licensing photovoltaic solutions for the spandrel gap and wall cladding, which can cover the entire building envelope. The Company showcased its new second generation product and spandrel gap product at a launch event in London in May 2023.
The Company also participated in several important trials and evaluations, such as: thermal and power performance testing with the Singapore Building and Construction Authority’s Skylab; a paidfor trial with the Hong Kong government; a paid-for trial in Gröbming, Austria; a small trial with Luxembourg’s Building Training Institute; and an Evaluation with the US Air Force in Florida (in partnership with Nodis Pte Ltd) – the Evaluation is currently in its third and final phase with results expected before the end of calendar year.
The Company has expanded its visual communication capabilities by acquiring the IP and assets of Lusoco B.V., a Netherlands-based company that specialises in outdoor advertising solutions for bus shelters and signage applications. The Company has also hired the founders of Lusoco to enhance its own technical team, product offering and approach in this area.
The Company has continued to market and commercialise its technology in the US and Europe, its key target markets, as it prepares to launch the second-generation product.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
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 2023 was authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 28 September 2023. 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 2023 of $7,497,092 ($3,806,151 loss for 2022) and reported net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,453,878 ($3,255,238 outflows for 2022) and investing activities of $1,284,726 cash outflow ($1,282,076 outflow for 2022). As at 30 June 2023, the Group had available cash and cash equivalents of $5,164,663 ($11,753,873 at 30 June 2022). 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 Group has sufficient funds to operate for approximately 9 months if no further funds are received. The Company has initiated discussions with investors for equity capital investment.

CLEARVUE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 45 071 397 487
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.2 GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Group being successful in its continuing efforts in development projects and accessing additional sources of funding to meet the commitments within one year from the date of signing the financial report.
In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have considered the Group's successful history of capital raising, it’s discussions with potential capital investors and the ability to moderate expenditure.
This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Group be unable to defer or reduce its operating expenditure or obtain the funding as described above, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal 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 and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.4 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
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 are amortised over 20 years from the date of purchase.
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. The useful life, when available for use has been determined to be 20 years based on the expected viability of the product. 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.
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
Other than goodwill, all other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risk factors.
With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

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.

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.

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.

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
Revenue from contracts with customers
The company has generated income from the sale of integrated glass unit windows. Revenue from the sale of the goods is recognised when control has passed to the customer. Control is considered passed when:
-
Physical possession and inventory risk is transferred
-
Payment for the goods has been received
-
The customer has no practical ability to reject the product where it is within contractual specified limits.
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.
Government grants are recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

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 income
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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.14 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
2.15 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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black-Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 13.
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 2023 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.
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
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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.20 LEASES (CONTINUED)
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.
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.
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.

8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
1 On 15 May 2023 , the company acquired the assets and Intellectual property of Lusoco BV. Lusoco is a deep tech company, which was established as a spin out from the Eindhoven University of Technology (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven) (TU/e) by co-founders Teun Wagenaar and Dr Jeroen ter Schiphorst who as part of the arrangement have since joined the ClearVue team. Lusoco’s technology has multiple applications including: building and glazing façades (for advertising, artwork and directional messaging); public infrastructure (such as bus shelters, road barriers, as well as public art and advertising); automotive (glass and plastics); autonomous self-powered street signs and other directional signage; self-powered safety, security and exit signs; and a range of other signage types.
The acquisition price was EUR200,000. The amounts recognized in respect of assets acquired are as follows.
| Plant and equipment Inventory Intellectual property |
$ 49,060 82 367,221 |

As the group incurred a loss for the period, the options on issue have an anti-dilutive effect, therefore the diluted EPS is equal to the basic eps. A total of 16,050,000 share options which could potentially dilute EPS in the future have been excluded from the dilute EPS calculation because they are antidilutive for the current period.
29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $7,497,092 during the year ended 30 June 2023, and as of that date, recorded cash outflows from operating and investing activities totalling $6,738,604. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Research and development tax incentives – Note 4 & 15
The Group receives a research and development (R&D) refundable tax offset from the Australian government, which represents the corporate tax rate plus 18.5 (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 is filed 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.
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;
-
assist in reviewing the expenditure methodology employed by management for consistency with the R&D tax offset rules; and
-
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;
Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd
72
This is a key audit matter due to the size of the accrual • comparing the nature of the R&D expenditure and the degree of judgement and interpretation of the included in the current year estimate to the prior R&D tax legislation required by management to assess year’s claim; the eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme. • selecting a sample of R&D expenditure and agreeing to supporting documentation to ensure appropriate classification, the validity of the claimed amount, and eligibility against the R&D tax incentive scheme criteria; and • assessing the appropriateness of financial statement disclosures.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1_2020.pdf.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
