De.mem Limited Review of operations 31 December 2020
The group’s top-line growth was driven by strong growth of its recurring revenue segments, which include De.mem’s services (Operations & Maintenance and Build, Own Operate), consumables, pumps (via De.mem-Pumptech) and water treatment chemicals (via De.mem-Geutec) businesses. Furthermore, the Company saw record order intake for water treatment equipment in the second half of the year.
The Company achieved record order intake for water treatment equipment in the second half of the year. While order intake during the first half of the year was somewhat impacted by Covid-19 delays, many industrial customers recommenced activity in the second half of the year, with the Company observing re-activation of previously deferred customer pipeline opportunities.
Expansion into strategic growth segments
The Company is experiencing strong revenue growth momentum in the key strategic growth segments of food & beverages, agriculture, and power generation.
Milestone contracts signed during the year include the following:
-
The supply of a sea water desalination plant to a customer from the food & beverage sector, worth approx. A$ 2.6 million (as announced to the ASX on 12 October 2020);
-
The supply of an Ultrapure water treatment system worth approx. A$ 400,000 to a customer from the power generation sector (as announced to the ASX on 29 September 2020);

-
A Build, Own, Operate Agreement with Givaudan for the supply and operations of a waste water treatment plant to be deployed at one of the client’s factories in Singapore, worth approx. A$ 800,000 over the fixed term (as announced to the ASX on 10 September 2020);
-
A minimum 2-year service (Operations & Maintenance agreement) with a customer from the real estate / infrastructure segment, worth approx. 200,000 per annum (as announced to the ASX on 3 August 2020).

De.mem has a strong acquisition value-add track record, with both businesses acquired in 2019, De.mem-Pumptech, Launceston, Tasmania, and De.mem-Geutec, Essen, Germany, showing substantial growth. This growth was driven by the introduction of the De.mem Group’s wider “one-stop shop” product range to the acquired companies’ customers and new sales team investment generating substantial cross-sell and up-sell growth.
De.mem-Pumptech Pty Ltd (formerly: Pumptech Tasmania Pty Ltd) achieved strong revenue growth by approx. 60% to A$ 3.8 million in 2020.

During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the company or any related entity.
Proceedings on behalf of the company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings.
Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 22 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 22 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover De.mem Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of De.mem Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is De.mem Limited's functional and presentation currency.
De.mem Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Level 4, 96-100 Albert Road South Melbourne VIC 3205 Australia
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 February 2021. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 January 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for intangible assets arising from prior year business combinations and deferred consideration, which are both measured at fair value.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of De.mem Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 31 December 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. De.mem Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
21
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is De.mem Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions and balance
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income.
Foreign operations
The financial results and position of foreign controlled entities whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign controlled entities are transferred directly to the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Revenues earned under construction contracts (contracting revenue)
Revenues earned under construction contracts are earned over the life of the contract according to the fulfilment of distinct and separable performance milestones. The % of budgeted expenditure method is applied for these contracts, which records revenue proportionately to the quantum of actual expenditure incurred under each performance milestone relative to its budgeted expenditure, less any expectations for any future losses under the contract.
22
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenues earned for the provision of waste water treatment services (rendering of services)
These revenues are earned as services are rendered under contract.
Revenues earned from the sale of waste water treatment products (sale of goods)
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Differences between the timing of invoicing for services and recording of revenue
From time to time, revenues are billed to customers that may be in-advance or in-arrears for when that revenue is earned. When in-advance, the difference is recorded as a contract liability; when in-arrears, the difference is recorded as a contract asset.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
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.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
23
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 consolidated 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.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated 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.
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
-
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
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.
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
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
24
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 debttype 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 of 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. ‘12-month 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.
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed 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 carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
25
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in prior years in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity 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 using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.
Provision for impairment of inventories
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and carry forward losses only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
26
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities was 6.45%.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Business combinations
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.
The directors have examined the net present value of the cash inflows expected to be received from the customer relationships acquired from the acquisitions of Pumptech Tasmania Pty Ltd (Pumptech) and Geutec Umwelt- und Abwassertechnik GmbH (Geutec) (the “businesses”). Refer to note 13 for further details.
In assessing this, the directors assumed the following: a) a growth rate in revenues from recurring customers of 3%; b) gross margins per customer of between 30% and 50%; c) a post-tax discount rate on those revenues of 12% (Geutec) and 15% (Pumptech); and d) an expected churn of the customer base of 10% per annum.
The useful life of the respective customer relationships has been assessed as 10 years, based upon past experience of customer turnover within these businesses and general expectations of ongoing customer relationships. The respective businesses experience with their customers indicates that: both businesses are well-established and have long relationships with their customers; the type of customer obtained by these business is usually larger businesses which are better able to survive variations in overall business and economic conditions; the type of products and services sold by the businesses are long-lived, resulting in greater probability of ongoing service arrangements with those customers and repeat business. This assessed 10 year life is reflected in the expected churn of 10% per annum used in the net present value calculations.
Due to the limited input from market observable factors, this fair valuation is a level 3 valuation.
Impairment
In-accordance with the impairment policy, the directors considered whether or not any indicator of impairment existed as at report date of any of its non-current and non-monetary assets. In assessing whether or not any trigger existed, the directors specifically considered the following:
-
(a) Each of its cash-generating units, which are the same as those geographic areas set out in the segment note, continue to operate according to their projected plans;
-
(b) The overall market capitalization of the Group is in-excess of the Group's net assets as at report date; and
-
(c) There were no exogenous matters in the industry or market that would impact the value of those assets. In-particular, the directors specifically considered the impact of COVID-19 on the business and the resilience of the Group's cashgenerating units to the pressures of COVID-19, including overall increases sales and improving profitability.
Note 4. Segment Reporting
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Directors in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. The following tables are an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment provided to the Directors.

Accounting policy for inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Costs of ordinarily interchangeable items are assigned using the first in, first out cost formula. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

Accounting policy for property, 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.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated over its useful life commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Plant and equipment Leasehold improvements
10 - 66.67% 10 - 50%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date and where adjusted, shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or method are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or method.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Note 13. Non-current assets - Intangible assets
On 5 August 2019 the Company acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Pumptech Tasmania Pty Ltd (Pumptech), and on 30 September 2019 the Company acquired 75% of the ordinary shares of Geutec Umwelt- und Abwassertechnik GmbH (Geutec). The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under AASB 3, and a total of $1,716,001 in goodwill was recognised during the 2019 year.

De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 13. Non-current assets - Intangible assets (continued)
In relation to the business acquisitions, the consolidated entity had performed a provisional assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities as at the date of the acquisitions. For the purposes of the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities had been recorded at their provisional fair values. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity had up to 12 months from the date of acquisition to complete its initial acquisition accounting.
At the completion of this exercise, the consolidated entity determined that the entire goodwill amount represented an Intangible asset - Customer relationships, as this was the fair value of intangible assets acquired.

Accounting policy for intangible assets
Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

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.
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.

Note 19. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed, such as sensitivity analysis and maturity analysis.
The Consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments are as follows.

Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:

The consolidated entity had net assets denominated in foreign currencies of $219,252 as at 31 December 2020 (2019: net liabilities of $14,106).
Based on this exposure, the following sensitivity analysis has been performed. The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management's assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the last 12 months each year and the spot rate at each reporting date.

De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 19. Financial instruments (continued)
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated entity’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates is not material.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.
Note 20. Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

On 30 September 2019 the Company acquired 75% of the ordinary shares of Geutec Umwelt- und Abwassertechnik GmbH (Geutec) for total consideration transferred of $917,169.
The seller holds a put option to sell the remaining 25% of the shares in Geutec to De.mem, and De.mem holds a call option to acquire the remaining 25% from the seller.

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of De.mem Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The rights to shares held by option holders have not been included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share as they do not meet the requirements for inclusion in AASB 133 Earnings per Share. The rights are non-dilutive as the consolidated entity has generated a loss for the year.
Note 30. Share-based payments
A share option plan has been established by the entity, whereby the entity may grant options over ordinary shares in the company to certain key management personnel and consultants of the entity. The options are issued for nil consideration.

Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
44
De.mem Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 30. Share-based payments (continued)
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 consolidated 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 recognised 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 portion 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 consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated 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.

De.mem Limited
Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of De.mem Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled (collectively, the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit 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.
| REVENUE RECOGNITION | |
|---|---|
| Area of focus | How our audit addressed it |
| For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recognised revenue totalling $14,159,088 (2019: $10,125,900) which is made up of several different revenue streams including: - Revenue from contracts with customers; - Sale of goods; and - Rendering of services. Each revenue stream requires a bespoke revenue recognition model to ensure that revenue is only recognised: a) when a performance milestone is achieved; b) can be reliably measured; and c) there is a low likelihood for dispute by the customer for revenues that are recognised which are beyond that originally scoped at the inception of the engagement. Revenue derived from contracting services may be complex and involve significant management judgement due to revenue being recognised over time in accordance with the input method. The audit team is required to obtain sufficient audit evidence as to whether the assumptions used by management to recognise revenue are reasonable and accurate in accordance with the relevant accounting and auditing standards. |
Our audit procedures include: - Determining whether revenue recognised is in- compliance with AASB 15_Revenue from_ Contracts with Customers_and the Group’s accounting policies; - Identifying and verifying the achievement of performance milestones and recognition of revenue relative to the accretion of that achievement; - Agreeing revenue streams to a sample of underlying contracts with third parties; - Examining the existence of the revenue, both by testing to contract and to subsequent receipt of invoicing of the revenue to the customer; - Examining significant aged debtors for evidence of collectability and/or dispute with the services provided; and - Analytically reviewing the reasonableness of accrued revenue and billings-in-advance accounts. We also assessed the appropriateness of disclosures attached to revenues and expected credit losses on receivables, particularly those mandatorily required by the Accounting Standard AASB 15 and AASB 9_Financial Instruments. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 but does not include the financial report and the 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.
Other Matter
The financial report of De.mem Limited for the year ended 31 December 2019 was audited by another auditor, who expressed an unmodified opinion to that report.
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 ability of the Group 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 has 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 these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
