Chairperson Message

Proud of our achievements and confident on our future.

Although the impact of Covid-19 on the global environment and the ability to source electronic components for our products has made for unprecedented challenging times, our business response has been outstanding. I am proud to say that despite the volatility, FY22 result is the most profitable in the past four years and the 2[nd] consecutive year with a positive net profit-after tax.

The necessary earlier business-improvement actions continue to yield results in this demanding environment. Matthew Strack and his team have demonstrated remarkable resilience as they have embraced new ways of working. With this strong leadership and focus on the business there is every reason to believe their efforts will yield larger and ongoing benefits as the business environment improves.

Our improved performance in 2022 would not have been possible without the trust, patience, and support that our shareholders have given us over the years. I would like to thank all our shareholders and customers for their confidence in DTI, and a special thank you to our employees for their hard work and dedication.

The Board remains confident about the Company’s prospects under the leadership of a strong and committed management team.

CEO Message

DTI strive to be our customers’ partner for a safe, accessible, and seamless journey.

The launch of a new compact digital video recorder for the Bus market was a significant achievement during FY22. This product expands the range of recorder solutions for the bus, light rail and rail market segments – better matching customer requirements with hardware & software solutions. Strong demand has been realised for this product in the Australian launch market and growth into other geographies is expected during FY23.

Semi-conductor component shortages, logistics difficulties and other Covid-19 related impacts continue to impact the business. FY22 revenue decreased by 14% due to these challenges.

Underlying EBITDA improved markedly. A $1.6 million improvement contributed to a $1.03 million underlying EBITDA result – the strongest for many years – through disciplined cost control, improved margins, and project execution. The Supply Chain team also demonstrated agility in addressing component shortages to satisfy customer needs.

During FY22 DTI completed the delivery, installation, and commissioning of equipment for 58 3-car Comeng train units as part of a life extension project. This industry leading solution improves the train driver experience and enhances passenger experience through improved information delivery, safety, and accessibility.

There has been heightened interest in our patented pantograph monitoring solution, with several European customers undertaking trials. Through the application of advanced machine learning algorithms and sophisticated technology, the Pantograph Monitor detects overhead power line anomalies, assisting the operator to perform targeted inspections and proactive maintenance – reducing failure risk, improving operational reliability, and enhancing safety.

DTI remains committed to quality. During FY22 a full IRIS quality system re-certification was completed and maintained. DTI is the sole Australian-headquartered business to maintain this valued and independently assessed certification, in the surveillance and passenger information sector. This certification is particularly valued by the rail customers.

Thank-you to our valued shareholders, employees, customers, and business partners for standing by our side as we continue to deliver delivering safe and seamless journeys.

Review of Financial Condition

FY22 Financial Performance

During the year ended 30 June 2022, DTI reported revenue of $15.9 million (2021: $18.6 million). This represents a 14.5 percent reduction compared to the prior year and is primarily attributed to the ongoing supply chain challenges experienced across the electronic component sector resulting in the delay of equipment production.

DTI recorded positive EBIT of $0.15 million for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: $0.08 million). The 100 percent improvement in EBIT was achieved with a 14.5 percent reduction in sales and without the $0.74 million in government assistance received in 2021 for covid-related assistance and R&D grants.

Review of principal business

DTI services the global mass transit market. The principal underlying drivers for DTI business are:

i) Government post Covid-19 stimulus packages generating further investments in public transport
ii) Government targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warning resulting in the acceleration of replacing diesel vehicles with clean energy vehicles.
iii) Customer demand for improved security and surveillance on mass transit systems; and
iv) Customer demand for passenger information systems on mass transit systems.

DTI considers these are strong drivers of demand for its products and services which will continue into FY23 and beyond.

Operational performance

DTI provides long-term maintenance and support services to municipal transit authorities in Australia, the UK, U.S.A and Africa.

European end-customers are also engaged through business partners in eastern & western Europe.

Significant changes in state of affairs

In the opinion of the Directors, the Group’s situation did not change significantly during the financial year.

Outlook

Opportunity Pipeline

DTI continues to enjoy strong demand for its products and services with an Opportunity Pipeline exceeding $82 million. The bulk of the pipeline is in the Rail sector however the Bus sector pipeline is increasing at a rapid rate due to the adoption of electric vehicles causing the acceleration of replacement of existing fleets and a patron driven requirement for improved real time passenger information.

Business Strategies

DTI’s business strategy is to support the mass transit industry through the provision of innovative hardware and software solutions and services.

In FY23, DTI is consolidating its multi-level product range to provide a broader customer offer and strengthen the value proposition for existing customers in targeted market segments.

Future Developments

DTI expects to continue executing contracted work, pursuing cost-effective work practices, and improving customer satisfaction.

Dividends

In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2022, no interim dividend was paid, and the Directors have determined that no final dividend will be paid.

The Company’s remuneration policy for DTI executives rewards them fairly and responsibly having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the executive and prevailing remuneration expectations in the market.

The Company also seeks to establish remuneration structures which align the interests of its key management personnel with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. DTI established a Management Compensation Plan (MCP) under which certain executives are entitled to receive short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI) based on the delivery of key Group and individual outcomes, and the profitability of the DTI Group. During the financial year the Chief Executive Officer was a participant of the MCP.

Other DTI executives do not have a formal STI or LTI component of their remuneration package however they may receive a cash bonus as a STI, at the discretion of the Board.

As detailed in this report, the CEO received an STI and LTI for performance rendered during FY22.

The amount of compensation for current and future periods for DTI executives is based on consideration of market factors, comparison to peers and reference to the individual’s experience and performance. Overall, remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect the competitive market and business conditions when in the interest of the Company and shareholders.

Performance Evaluation

Each DTI executive is subject to a review of their individual performance each year in accordance with the Company’s Development and Appraisal Process. This process usually takes place in September each year.

Remuneration Structure

DTI executive

The remuneration structure for DTI executives participating in the MCP is based on the concept of a total package target (TPT) assuming budgeted financial performance is achieved, and the participants performed satisfactorily. If the business and/or the participants perform below standard, then the total remuneration will

Directors’ Report – Audited Remuneration Report
----- End of picture text -----

be less. If financial performance exceeds budget and there is above average performance, then the package can increase by up to 18.75 per cent of the TPT. The TPT comprises three components:

i) A fixed component, representing base salary plus superannuation, which comprises 75 per cent of the TPT;
ii) a variable component, represented by a STI paid as a cash bonus, which comprises 12.5 per cent of the TPT. This component can increase to 25 per cent of the fixed component for exceptional performance; and
iii) a variable component, represented by a LTI in the form of an equity issue of DTI shares, which comprises 12.5 per cent of the TPT. This component can increase to 33.3 per cent of the fixed component for exceptional performance.

The STI and LTI are determined following the finalisation of the audited annual financial results. If employment has ceased for any reason on or before the date when the STI and LTI are paid or are due for payment, eligibility to receive the STI and LTI lapses. The participants may elect to receive the STI payment in equity securities, subject to shareholder approval.

In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements, the Board can cancel or defer performance-based remuneration and may also claw back performance-based remuneration paid in previous financial years.

The Board of DTI Group reserves the right not to pay an STI or LTI if financial performance, earnings per share and/or operational performance have not met the expectations of the Board.

The remuneration structure for DTI executives not participating in the MCP is based on a fixed component, representing base salary plus superannuation. DTI Executives may be granted a cash bonus at the discretion of the Board.

Fixed Component

Fixed remuneration comprises base salary, employer superannuation contributions and other allowances and non-cash benefits. Each Executive’s fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually.

Variable Component – STI and LTI

Variable remuneration for participants in the MCP comprises STIs linked to Company and individual performance over one year, and LTIs linked to performance over a period greater than a year.

The tables below outline the remuneration framework and structure of the short-term incentive plan.

The following table sets out the maximum variable remuneration each Executive Officer could have achieved, on an annualised basis, in FY22, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, if maximum performance was achieved for the STI and LTI components of their variable components.

STI is typically paid in cash during September. LTI share issues are made in November - no deferral is inplace.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM).

Segment information has been prepared in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the consolidated Group. The Group has one primary business segment being the provision of integrated surveillance and passenger communication systems to the mass transit industry.

The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who monitors the operating results of the consolidated group and organises its business activities and product lines to serve the global mass transit industry. The performance of the consolidated group is evaluated based on Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) which is measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.

Major customers

DTI supplies goods and services to a broad range of customers in the transit industry. During the reporting period, three (2021: Three) major customers accounted for 49 per cent (2021: 62 per cent) of the Group’s revenue.

Note 2: Revenue and expenses

A. Significant accounting policy

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

Significant judgement: Revenue recognition

The recognition of revenue relating to project-based services is subject to the management’s judgement on measurement of progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation using the input method. The Group also did not recognise revenue when management has determined that it was not highly probable that a portion of the revenue will not reverse.

When management determine multiple distinct performance obligations in a contract, transaction price is allocated based on stand-alone selling price of the product or service sold. The stand-alone selling price is estimated on the basis of the retail price.

Notes to the Financial Statements

B. Nature of Goods and Services

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue.

Products and services	Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significantpayment terms
Sale of goods only	The Group recognises revenue when the customers obtain control of the goods. This usually occurs when the goods are delivered. The amount of revenue recognised for goods delivered is adjusted for expected returns. Invoices are generated and revenue is recognised at that point in time. Invoices are usually payable within 45 days (credit term). No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made within standard credit terms, which is consistent with market practice. The Group’s obligation to provide a refund or replacement for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as aprovision.
Project-based services	Some contracts include multiple deliverables, such as the provision and installation and commission of hardware and software. These multiple deliverables form an integration service and could not be performed by another party, the goods and services represent a single combined performance obligation over which control is considered to transfer over time. This is because the provision of goods and services by the Group enhance an asset (i.e., trains or buses) that the customer controls as the asset is enhanced. Revenue is recognised over time as the customisation or integration work is performed, using the cost-to-cost input method to estimate progress towards completion. When cost incurred is not proportionate to the entity’s progress in satisfying the performance obligation, the input method is adjusted to recognise revenue only to the extent of that cost incurred (For example, goods have been delivered to the customers, but installation has not commenced). Estimates of revenues, costs, or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. Customers usually pay according to the agreed invoicing schedule or contract milestones. If the goods and services rendered by the Group exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed thegoods and services rendered,a contract liabilityis recognised.
Maintenance and technical support	The Group provides maintenance and technical services. These services are usually bundled together with sales of products or provision of project services to customer. The maintenance and technical support can be obtained from other providers and do not significantly customise or modify the product sold. When this service is bundled together with other services provided by the Group, the Group performed a re-allocation of contract consideration based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of its bundled services. For maintenance and technical support, which is billed based on an hourly basis, the Group recognises revenue as the services areperformed.

The contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional.

• Contract Costs

Management expects that incremental costs incurred as a result of obtaining project-based contracts are recovered. These incremental costs of completing a particular project-based contract are capitalised as contract costs and expensed when the related revenue is recognised. The Group have applied the practical expedient in paragraph 94 of AASB 15, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the assets that the Group otherwise

would have recognised is one year or less. The Group applies impairment policy on contract costs as stated in Note 10.

Contract Liabilities

The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for projectbased service, for which revenue is deferred until revenue can be recognised on the completion of its passenger information system.

(ii) Significant changes in contract assets and contract liabilities

Contract assets have decreased as the Group has reduced the number of contracts partially complete that have fully progressed to completion.

Contract liabilities have increased due to the offering of software licenses that run for greater than one year.

(iii) Revenue recognised in relation to contract liabilities

Revenue recognised for the year ended 30 June 2022 which was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period is $448,995 (2021: $2,076,220).

The amount of revenue recognised for the year ended 30 June 2022 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods is $nil (2021: nil).

Notes to the Financial Statements

(i) Government grants

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the Company in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. Government grants include government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the operating activities of the Company other than the requirement to operate in certain regions or industry sectors. Government grants relating to income are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs and grants relating to assets are regarded as a reduction in asset. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognised as income of the period in which it becomes receivable. The requirements of AASB 120: Government Grants, R&D Grant Income, requires that income earned from the grant in relation to expenditure on capitalised intangible assets are offset against the value of those intangible assets. This is done after reducing it by the amount of amortisation recognised in the financial year.

(ii) JobKeeper payment

COVID-19 has presented a fast evolving and significant challenge to global health systems and economies. During FY21 the Australian Government provided JobKeeper payments to eligible employers. The company remained eligible until 27 September 2020 and received $486,000 during FY21.

(iii) Cash flow boosts income

During FY21, temporary cash flow boosts were provided by the government to support small and medium businesses and not-for-profit organisations during the economic downturn associated with COVID-19. Eligible businesses received between $20,000 to $100,000 in cash flow boost amounts up to September 2020. During FY21, the Company received $50,000 in cash flow boost amounts from the Australian government.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Note 3: Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in associates and are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and that they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

Significant Estimate

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, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forwardlooking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note 14, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Notes to the Financial Statements

The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables has been included in ‘other expenses’ in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

(b) Past due but not impaired

At 30 June 2022 trade receivables of $1,257,324 (2021: $434,275) were past due, but not impaired. These relate to several independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. DTI is confident that these receivables are collectible and are active in the management and reduction of these overdue amounts.

The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

	2022 % 2021 %	2022 $	2021 $
Up to 3 months 3 to 6 months	85% 87% 15% 13%		375,986 58,289
		281,007
		595,571
	100% 100%	876,578	434,275

The other classes within Trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these trade receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.

(c) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

Information on the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in relation to trade and other receivables is provided in Note 14.

(d) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value. Credit risk is assessed at the time a customer applies to open a credit account with the Group and is monitored thereafter on a regular basis. Management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience, trade references, external rating where obtained and other factors then set credit limits. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by management.

Note 6: Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are recognised when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 to 90 days of recognition.

Accounting Policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.

Premium Funding

In November 2021, the Company financed its insurance premiums with the funds to be repaid within the next 10 months. This facility is secured against the insurance policies.

Financing Facility

	4,170,779 3,604,373

In determining the appropriate policy for the inventory obsolescence provision, management considered the composition of stock, improvements in stock ageing and turnover, as well as recent sales activity. Based on these factors it was determined the provision for stock obsolescence should be $727,773 as at 30 June 2022.

Accounting Policy

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a weighted average basis by location. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Significant judgement: Inventory obsolescence

Inventories are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy detailed above. Where the net realisable value of inventory is lower than its cost the Group recognises a provision for inventory obsolescence. At 30 June 2022 management has determined no additional impairment (2021: $nil) is required for inventory where net realisable value is lower than its cost.

Accounting Policy

Amortisation of Capitalised Development Costs

Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis in accordance with AASB108 para.40.

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised

P a g e | 5 4

Notes to the Financial Statements

in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Intangibles

Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

Capitalised Development Costs

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services and direct labour. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure 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. All other intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the company amount may not be recoverable.

A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:

Policy	Patents	Development Costs

		each financialyear end

Significant estimates: Useful life of Patents and Development Costs

Patents have been assessed as having a useful life and are amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 10 years. The patents have been granted for between 15 and 20 years by the relevant government agency.

New products capitalised during FY22 are amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 5 years.

Significant estimates: Impairment of Intangible Assets

The group assesses at each reporting date whether there has been events or changes in circumstances indicating whether the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the cashgenerating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions and estimates for future cashflows.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Significant judgement: Development costs capitalised

Development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The net development costs have been subject to impairment testing. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated, and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.

Significant judgement: Amortisation of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised over their useful lives (5 to 10 years). Amortisation commences when the asset is available for commercial sale.

Description of the Group’s intangible assets

(a) Development costs

Development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The net development costs have been subject to impairment testing. If an impairment indicator arises, the recoverable amount is estimated, and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.

(b) Patents

Patents have been externally acquired and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a useful life and is amortised using the straightline method over a period of 10 years. The patents have been granted for between fifteen and twenty years by the relevant government agency. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated, and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.

(c) Impairment

The board determined that the underlying assumptions supporting the future economic benefit from the intangible assets were sufficient. As a result, the board has not impaired these assets (2021: nil).

1 Reduction in provision due to the completion of an onerous long-term contract.

Accounting Policy

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required, and they are capable of being measured reliably. Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Notes to the Financial Statements

When it is probable that the future costs to complete a contract will exceed future revenues, the expected loss is recognised as a provision for onerous contract and as an expense immediately.

Significant judgement: Warranty provision

In determining the level of provision required for warranties, the consolidated entity has made judgments in respect of the expected performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the conditions of the warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar products and services.

1 During the year, the group received a loan from the underwriter of the rights issue occurring during the current period, totaling $1,000,000. The repayment terms of the loan were cash repayments of $251,009, with the remainder settled via subscription for 41,610,621 shares as part of the rights issue, at $0.018 per share. Interest of the loan prior to settlement accrued at 8% per annum.

2 During the year, 1,915,773 shares were issued to the Chief Executive under the pre-existing Long-term Incentive (LTI) arrangement, with a resulting expense of $67,053 recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

*Balance excludes 1,553,975 Treasury Share held in trust for DESP.

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.

Ordinary shares have no par value, and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

Management Compensation Plan

The DTI Management Compensation Plan (MCP) has been established by the Board to permit shares to be issued by the Company to executive employees as part of an LTI.

The shares are recognised at the closing share price on the grant date as an incentive expense, with a corresponding increase in equity at the time that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the shares.

The Company has established the MCP to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of employees and replaces the DTI Employee Share Plan.

Accounting Policy

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. If the Company re-acquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity

Notes to the Financial Statements

and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The Group does not enter derivative transactions. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign exchange risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks. 7

Notes to the Financial Statements

Credit Risk Exposure

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position. There are no historical default rates in respect of receivables. Cash balances and term deposits are held with financial institutions of minimum AA ratings.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses (ECL), trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 12 month before 1 July 2022 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The customer type and macro-economic factors in the customer’s market have been determined to be the most relevant factors for assessing ECL.

Trade receivables are 100% credit impaired when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

On this basis, the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses under the simplified approach as at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is:

30 June 2022	Current	More Than 30 Days Past Due More Than 60 Days Past Due More Than 90 Days Past Due	Credit Impaired	Total
Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount of trade receivables
	0%	0% 0.2% 13%	100%
	$2,997,249	$129,937 $151,070 $595,571	$0	$3,873,723
Loss allowance	$0	$0 $255 $77,730	$0	$77,985
30 June 2021	Current More Than 30 Days Past Due More Than 60 Days Past Due More Than 90 Days Past Due Credit Impaired			Total
Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount of trade receivables	0% 0% 0% 0% 100% $2,667,053 $21,118 $107,718 $71,447 $148,693			$3,002,871
Loss allowance	$0 $0 $0 $0 $148,693			$148,693

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, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forwardlooking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group has transactions in currencies other than Australian Dollars which carry receivables and payables in the respective currency. These financial instruments are not hedged. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

		30 June 2022	30 June 2021	30 June 2021
	USD $	EUR $ GBP $ ZAR $	USD $ EUR $	GBP $ ZAR $

	0.6889	0.6589 0.5671 11.1857	0.7518 0.6320	0.5429 10.7991

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's loan and lease arrangements are subject to fixed interest rates and therefore would not have been impacted by any increase/decrease in interest rates during the current year.

Profit is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents and term deposits because of changes in interest rates. At year end the Group’s bank account was earning interest of 0.289 per cent (2021: 0.05 per cent).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. As at 30 June 2022 and the date of this report, the Group has sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial obligations. Refer to Note 19 Going Concern for further details.

Sensitivity Analysis

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's loan and lease arrangements are subject to fixed interest rates and therefore would not have been impacted by any increase/decrease in interest rates during the current year. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would not have impacted the Group's interest expense.

Movements in interest rates on the Group’s bank accounts and term deposits would not have a significant impact on the Group’s results for the year.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2022, had the Australian dollar weakened by 5 per cent against the US Dollar, Euro, British Sterling and South African Rand, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s pre-tax results for the year would have been $35,592 better (2021: $61,683 better). If the Australian dollar had strengthened the corresponding impact would be a reduction in pre-tax results by approximately the same amount.

Price Risk

Investments held are not listed or traded in active markets and therefore no price risk arises.

Note 15: Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to:

safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

==> picture [236 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements

maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the value of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Note 17: Share-based payments

Shares in the DTI Management Compensation Plan (MCP) were issued to executive employees. Details of the MCP are in Note 13.

The Group additionally has the capacity to issue equity securities to suppliers under the ASX Listing Rules as an alternate method of payment for goods or services provided. The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to suppliers is recognised as a separate expense, contained within Share-based payments expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity over the period that the supplier provides the service or becomes unconditionally entitled to the award. The Group entered into such share-based payment

transactions by way of extinguishing a short-term loan during the year. Given the nature of this payment, it was not recognised as a share-based payment expense but rather as a reduction of a liability.

The DTI Employee Share Plan (DESP) has been established by the Board to permit shares to be issued by the company to employees for no cash consideration and has been put in place by the company.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Amounts recognised in the statement of profit or loss

The statement of profit or loss shows the following amounts relating to leases:

	2022 $	2021 $
Depreciation charge of right-of-use assets Property - Land Finance costs Interest expense		210,482

	99,973
		44,272

	29,987

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments).

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Note 19: Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Directors believe the Group will continue as a going concern based on the following considerations:

The business forecast shows positive cash flow for the next 12 months to 31 August 2023;
The successful implementation of the turnaround plan including a continued focus on projects and contracts that generate positive returns;
Continued improvement in project performance coupled with a strong working capital and net asset position;
Continued reduction of cash burn; and
Implementation of the new strategy to return to DTI to profitability.

Note 22: Earnings/(Loss) per share

Basic Earnings / (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

the profit or loss attributable to owners of the company, 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 year.

Diluted Earnings / (Loss) per Share

Diluted earnings/(loss) 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 25: Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of Compliance

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of the Group. The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The Group’s financial statements and accompanying notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

DTI is a for-profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange from 9 December 2014.

The financial statements were authorised as per the Directors’ declaration on page 76 dated 31 August 2022.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all 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.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. In the application of IFRS management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Refer to Note 25 for further disclosure on significant accounting estimates and judgement.

Accounting Policies

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

(a) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(b) Classification and initial measurement of financial assets (AASB 9 Financial Instruments)

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

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

Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows and are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

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

Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• Equity instruments at FVTOCI

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 with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of ‘hold to collect’ contractual cash flows are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s new forward looking impairment model applies to Group’s investments at amortised cost and debt instruments at FVTOCI. The application of the new impairment model depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

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 forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix (Refer Note 14).

(c) Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

==> picture [236 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

P a g e | 7 1

Notes to the Financial Statements

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

P a g e | 7 2

Notes to the Financial Statements

Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item of expense; or
for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

(d) Comparative Figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(e) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

Estimation of onerous contracts provision

When the Group is aware that it is probable that the future costs to complete a contract will exceed future revenues, the expected loss is recognised as a provision for onerous contract and as an expense immediately. Estimation is involved in determination of total contract costs and forecast costs to complete.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
