Dear Shareholder,
It is with a sense of pride and enthusiasm that as Elsight’s Chairman, I wish to report to you on the current status of our Company and the significant strides we have made in the past 12 months despite adversity and the positive plans awaiting us, not only during the remainder of 2021 but importantly, in the years ahead.
As we are all well aware, 2020 was a year marked by the worldwide pandemic’s many and varied challenges to all of us. Despite this position, Elsight, witnessed a solid formative year of growth, maturity and made certain changes and adjustments to our operations which have helped to secure the Company’s future over the longer term. It was also a year marked by the change at the helm of the Company. This led to a fundamental reappraisal and change in many aspects of the Company’s operations, including a shift towards a total focus on “Halo” as the pivotal product focus, and the channeling towards two principal segments, namely:
O4B – Other 4 billion people, living in areas without satisfactory internet/cellular coverage in the USA as well as elsewhere;
Drones – with a focus on securing a key Type Certificate (TC) with the FAA.
As a consequence of COVID as well as other delays which were experienced by many of our customers, the planned first half of 2020 revenue growth didn’t materialize quite as we expected. However, given the changes and adjustments that have been implemented, including the renewed focus on the two key verticals, as well as various cost cutting and related measures, starting September a material booking performance improvement started to surface. This adds to our confidence in the validity of the implemented changes. We therefore believe that the Company is better positioned today and stronger than ever before.
As part of this transition and aim to ensure we had the necessary resources to implement our plans, the Company undertook and completed a successful capital raising program in late 2020. This has enabled us to pursue a variety of opportunities, at a time when other companies have been struggling to survive. An example of this was, despite two major fires at large chip plants in Japan (at the end of October 2020 and a further one in mid March 2021) and which resulted in a global supply shortage throughout the electronics and auto industries, the fact that we were financially secure enabled us to continue to supply products on time.
As part of its COVID practices, the Company went through a significant protection strategy that included working in groups, alternating between working from home and the office as well as undertaking the vaccination program.
As part of its longer term strategy, Elsight has taken a number of important steps designed to accelerate its discussions with substantially larger and more financially secure North America distribution companies. This is essential as we need to be ahead of the curve and continue with the rapid expansion of our distribution channels within the lucrative North American market. We expect to be able to provide all Shareholders with further updates in relation to these important strategic developments over the coming months.
Finally, I would like to thank all our Shareholders for their ongoing interest and support for the Company. The past 12 months has certainly thrown up many challenges as well as opportunities where we can capitalise in the months ahead. With the additional financing secured and a strong financial position, we intend to take advantage of all the opportunities that are now before us and look forward to providing you with further information when it comes to hand.
Sincerely,
Maj. Gen. (res) Ami Shafran
Chairman
30th March, 2021.

There were no dividends paid or recommended during the financial year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: Nil).
Review of operations
Unless otherwise stated all figures in this report are in the Company’s presentation currency US$.
Elsight Limited incurred a loss for the year of $3,880,688 (2019: loss of $3,192,433). The 2020 loss included selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,949,805.
The net assets of the Group have increased by $7,017,567, from net assets of $1,415,262 at 31 December 2019 to net assets of $8,432,829 at 31 December 2020.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes to the Company or the state of its affairs during the year.
Highlights during the year
The following significant Group matters occurred during 2020:
In early January 2020, the Board announced the resignation of Raj Logaraj and the appointment of Peter Marks as a NonExecutive Director of the Company.
Later in January the Group completed a private placement of 9,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at A$0.32 per share to raise a total of approximately A$2,880,000 (US$2,000,000).
The COVID-19 outbreak struck in February 2020, creating dramatic changes and challenges. This potentially negative impact was turned into an opportunity with minimal material impact on bookings and revenue, despite lockdown and the need of many to work from home during a critical time for the Company.
A key priority was finalising the development of the flagship Halo product and commencing sales activities while the Company’s salesforce was grounded and unable to meet with customers during the most critical product launch period. Notwithstanding this, significant progress was made with the initial launch and commercialisation of the product.

Key actions and changes during the year included:
-
The transition from project to solution-based approach to better realise value from development efforts in chosen segments.
-
Total focus on completion and launch of Halo during H2.
-
Narrowing of our focus on 3 market segments: bridging the digital divide to the “Other 4 Billion” (O4B) rural customers with no workable connectivity; Drones; and Medical First Responders.
After previously announcing details of its strategic work with Airobotics in the drone space (December 19, 2019), in March 2020, the Group announced the broadening of a partnership with CopterPIX PRO. CopterPIX PRO, is a leading drone company focussing on advanced solutions using autonomous drones. Following one month of successful POC test flights using HALO, CopterPIX PRO elected to expand the Halo POC and purchase an additional 6 Halo units for integration within their drone platform.
In May and June 2020, the Group issued a total of 1,774,000 fully paid ordinary shares on the conversion of options, raising a total of approximately A$532,000 (US$350,000).
July 2020 saw the Group enter a strategic partnership with Kinetx Prime to deliver direct-to-consumer telehealth services in the US with its flagship Halo product. The Group received an initial order of US$1,600,000 with the prospect of additional repeat orders over the course of the next 36 months.
Full FCC certification was also received in July.
Following completion of Halo’s integration into a backpack version of Alrena’s “Smartmedicase” branded as “Smartmedibag” in August 2020, the Group received an initial order worth approximately US$300,000. Alrena’s “Smartmedibag” solution enables independent nurses in remote and rural areas to provide lifesaving treatment via telemedicine. This has been adopted by the French Ministry of Health.
In October 2020, the Group obtained the necessary CE certification for Halo which enabled it to ship all Halo units to fulfil the Alrena Technologies order. The Group received a repeat order of US$133,000 from a leading cash-in-transit and security company, bringing their total orders to date to approx. US$190,000.
In November 2020, the Group received approximately A$376,000 (US$273,000) on the exercise of 1,880,000 options by Mr Nir Gabay. This followed Mr Gabay’s resignation as a Managing Director and the appointment of Mr Yoav Amitai as the new CEO.
In December 2020, the Group completed a renounceable rights issue to raise $A8,200,000 and a follow-on placement of A$2,800,000, raising a total of A$11,000,000 (US$8,300,000) before costs. The Group issued a total of 24,444,983 new fully paid ordinary shares and 23,222,653 new listed options exercisable at A$0.90 on or before 31 March 2023 in relation to the rights issue and placement.
At the end of 2020 and as at the reporting date, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the entity up to 31 December 2020, it is not possible to accurately predict the potential impact, positive or negative, the pandemic may have during the current year. The situation continues to develop and is dependent on measures imposed by the Israeli Government as well as other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Significant events after the reporting period
Since the reporting date the following significant events have occurred:
-
On 2 March 2021 the Group announced a strategic partnership with JS Group to amplify expansion efforts in the North American broadband market.
-
On 16 March 2021 the Group announced finalisation of FAA certifications will be delayed pending the release of the final ruling covering ‘Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People’ on 21 April 2021.
Other than what has already been stated within this report, there have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of the Group in subsequent financial periods.

Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group. KMP comprise the directors of the Company and identified key management personnel.
Compensation levels for KMP are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Board may seek independent advice on the appropriateness of compensation packages, given trends in comparable companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Group’s compensation strategy.
Key management personnel covered in this report are as follows:
| Name | Status | Appointed | Resigned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major General (ret) Ami Shafran | Non-Executive Chairman | 2 June 2017 | - |
| Mr David Furstenberg | Executive Director | 2 June 2017 | - |
| Mr Howard Digby | Non-Executive Director | 13 December 2016 | - |

| Mr Yoav Amitai | Chief Executive Officer | 1 November 2020 | - |
| Mr Roee Kashi | Vice President – Research | 2 June 2017 | - |
| and Development |
2. Remuneration governance
The Directors believe the Company is not currently of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to warrant the establishment of a separate remuneration committee. Accordingly, all matters are considered by the full Board of Directors, in accordance with a remuneration committee charter.
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

3. Executive remuneration arrangements
The compensation structures are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Shares and options may only be issued subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.
At the date of this report the Company has two appointed executives, Mr Yoav Amitai as Chief Executive Officer and Mr Roee Kashi as Vice President – Research and Development. The terms of their Executive Employment Agreements with Elsight Limited are summarised in the following table.
| Executive Name | Services Agreement Summary |
|---|---|
| Mr Yoav Amitai | • Executive salary of ILS 600,000 per annum (based on the exchange rate at the date of this report, equals approximately US$180,451 per annum). • Reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the business in accordance with the Group’s reimbursement policies. • The agreement commenced on 1 November 2020 and may be terminated by either party on 104 days’ notice. It may be terminated immediately with justifiable cause. |
| Mr Roee Kashi | • Executive salary of ILS 660,000 per annum (based on the exchange rate at the date of this report, equals approximately US$198,496 per annum). • Reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the business in accordance with the Group’s reimbursement policies. • The agreement commenced on 6 April 2017 and may be terminated by either party on 180 days’ notice. It may be terminated immediately with justifiable cause. |
As the Group is in the early stages of operations the Board does not consider the Group’s earnings or earnings related measures to be an appropriate key performance indicator (KPI). In considering the relationship between the Group’s remuneration policy and the consequences for the Company’s shareholder wealth, changes in share price are analysed as well as measures such as successful completion of business development and corporate activities.
Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration
The Group has established and maintains Employee Limited Employee Share Option Plan (Plan) to provide ongoing incentives to Eligible Participants of the Company. Eligible Participants include:
-
a Director (whether executive or non-executive) of any Group Company;
-
a full or part time employee of any Group Company;
-
a casual employee or contractor of a Group Company; or
-
a prospective participant, being a person to whom the offer was made but who can only accept the Offer if arrangement has been entered into that will resulting in the person becoming an Eligible Participant.
The Board adopted the Plan to allow Eligible Participants to be granted Options to acquire shares in the Company.
The purpose of the Plan is to assist in the reward and motivation of Eligible Participants and link the reward of Eligible Participants to performance and the creation of shareholder value. It is designed to align the interest of Eligible Participants more closely to the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to receive shares. It provides the Eligible Participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company and provides greater incentives for Eligible Participants to focus on the Company’s longer term goals. There were 200,000 Options issued to key management personnel or their related parties under the Plan during the 2020 financial year (2019: Nil).
The table below shows the performance of the Group over the last 5 reporting periods:

4. Non-executive Director fee arrangements
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at a level to comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. Non-executive Directors may receive performance related compensation. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities and membership of any committee. The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes in relation to Non-executive Directors.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is presently limited to an aggregate of AU$300,000 (US$231,000) per annum and any change is subject to approval by shareholders at the General Meeting. Fees for Non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Total fees for the Non-executive Directors for the financial year were US$142,795 (2019: US$146,020) and cover main Board activities only. Non-executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Group.
All non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the board policies and terms, including remuneration, relevant to the office of director.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==> picture [126 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
These consolidated financial statements cover Elsight Limited ( Company ) and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity (also referred to as Group ). Elsight Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for-profit entity.
The financial statements were issued by the board of directors on 30 March 2021 by the directors of the Company.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of the financial report
a) Statement of Compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ( AASBs ) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board ( AASB ) and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events, and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
b) Basis of Measurement and Reporting Conventions Including Capital Reorganisation
The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless stated otherwise.
On 2 June 2017 Elsight Limited (‘ELS’) completed a transaction with the shareholders of El-Sight Ltd to acquire 100% of the share capital of El-Sight Ltd. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination as ELS was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the listing process and to acquire El-Sight Ltd by way of an equity swap. Common control entity accounting was applied at transaction date.
c) Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards
The Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. No retrospective change in accounting policy of material reclassification has occurred during the year.
d) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d) Principles of Consolidation (continued)
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,
-
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements,
-
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income ( OCI ) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
-
De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
-
De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
-
De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
-
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
-
Recognises the fair value of any investments retained
-
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit and loss
-
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
e) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Group revenues consist of the following elements:
-
physical products which are sent to the customer, where revenue is recognised upon shipment or arrival of goods, dependent on the terms that have been agreed with the customer;
-
IT services, where revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered;
-
installation fees, which are recognised upon the completion of product installation; and
-
other revenue including cloud services fees which are recognised over the service period; software license fees which are recognised over the license period; maintenance fees for which contracts are generally one year with revenue recognised over the contract period; and service level agreements which are recognised over the agreement period.
In relation to IT services, cloud services, software license, maintenance fees and service level agreements, the Group recognises a contract liability where payments received exceed the services rendered.
The Group has no material contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and can be reliably measured.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
f) Income Tax
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
g) Financial Instruments
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and
-
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on how the Group manages the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. At year end, all of the Group’s financial assets have been classified as those to be measured at amortised cost.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Impairment
The Group assesses expected credit losses associated on a forward-looking basis. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
h) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Directors assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits.
If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the asset’s recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks with original maturity of three months or less.
j) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 45 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value; none of the Group’s trade receivables contain a financing component. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cashflows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions and forwardlooking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
k) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and the costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
l) Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.
m) Depreciation
Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of the asset, less its residual value.
An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required for it to operate in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the fixed asset item, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the assets.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
m) Depreciation (CONTINUED)
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
Computers – 3 years
-
Furniture and equipment – 7-17 years
-
Motor vehicles – 7 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease period or the useful life of the leasehold improvement.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office ( ATO ).
Receivable and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of the GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables and payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
o) Employee Benefits
Post-employment benefits
The Company has a post-employment benefit plan in place in accordance with its obligations under Israeli employment law. Under Israeli employment law, in the event of termination of an employee, the Group is obligated to pay the employee their last monthly salary multiplied by the number of years the employee was employed. The value of this severance pay obligation is recorded net of accumulated severance fund benefits as a liability for employees’ severance benefits in the Group’s statement of financial position.
Short term employee benefits
Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided or upon the actual absence of the employee when the benefit is not accumulated.
The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an employee share and option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. The fair value of performance right options is determined using the satisfaction of certain performance criteria (Performance Milestones). The number of shares option and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. The fair value is determined using Black Scholes simulation model.
p) Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accruals basis.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
r) Equity and reserves
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The option reserve records the value of share-based payments.
s) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in USA dollars which is the Parent’s functional currency.
Transaction and balances
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 profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognized other comprehensive Income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting period;
-
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 operations with functional currencies other than United States dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.
t) Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group’s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
u) Share Based Payments
Share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
v) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to members of the parent entity, 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 (if any).
-
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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
w) Intangible assets
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
-
it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for use;
-
management intends to complete the product and use or sell it;
-
there is an ability to use or sell the product;
-
it can be demonstrated how the product will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the product are available, and
-
the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.
Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use over a period of 3 – 7 years.
Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria in set out above are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
x) Predecessor Accounting
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for using the predecessor accounting method. Under this method;
-
carrying values are not restated in the accounts of the acquiring entity, rather prior book values are maintained. As a result no fair value adjustments are recorded on the acquisition; and
-
the carrying value of net assets or liabilities acquired is recorded as a separate element of equity.
y) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the consolidated financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Key Estimates and judgements
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 Group 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 Group 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 Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. At 31 December 2020 the Group has reassessed all significant judgements and estimates included in the 31 December 2020 financial result and position, including but not limited to, provisions against debtors, net realizable value of inventory, liability to future claims, impairment of non-current assets, and other provisions and estimates.
Share based payments
The Group initially 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. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.
The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 17.
Trade receivables
Management assess impairment of the Group’s trade receivables based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs for the expected credit loss model under AASB 9 and impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forwardlooking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Assumptions made regarding the collectability of the Group’s receivables are disclosed at Note 9.

(c) Capital Management
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.

NOTE 18: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group’s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Risk Management Policies
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade and other debtors, trade and other payables and borrowings.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are market risk (including fair value and interest rate risk) and cash flow interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
(a) Interest Rate Risk
From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are as a result of the timing of equity raising and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future. The exposure to interest rates arises from the cash and cash equivalents balances and borrowings.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is not considered to be material.
(b) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions and trade and other receivables, and is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.
| Note | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| US$ | US$ | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents – A+ Rated | 8a | 6,090,443 | 933,517 |
| Cash and cash equivalents – A Rated | 8a | 1,833,866 | - |
| Trade and other receivables – no rating | 9 | 1,048,565 | 571,618 |
Impaired trade receivables
The Group assesses expected credit losses associated on a forward looking basis. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure or 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.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
During the year, the following losses were recognised in profit or loss in relation to impaired receivables:
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| US$ | US$ | ||
| Impairment losses | |||
| - | individually impaired receivables | 2,430 | 6,654 |
| - | movement in provision for impairment | 2,430 | 6,654 |
As at 31 December 2020, trade receivables of US$206,045 (2019 – US$228,806) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:
| Up to 3 months 3 to 6 months Over 6 months |
2020 2019 US$ US$ 201,918 13,971 3,843 2,485 284 212,350 |
|---|---|
| 206,045 228,806 |
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities based on the actual rates at the reporting date excluding interest payments:
| 2020 | Interest rate |
Less than 6 months |

Fair value estimation
Due to the short term nature of the receivables and payables the carrying value approximates fair value.
(e) Currency risk
The currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to change in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel. Any reasonable fluctuation in exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact on either profit or equity.

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 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Accounting for Share-based payments
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group issued options to employees and options to advisors which have been accounted for as sharebased payments.
Refer to notes 1 and 17 of the financial report for a description of the accounting policy and significant estimates and judgements applied to these arrangements.
Share-based payments are a complex accounting area and due to the complex and judgemental estimates used in determining the fair value of the share-based payments, we consider the Group’s accounting for share-based payments to be a key audit matter.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:
• Reviewing the relevant terms and conditions to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature of the share-based payment arrangements
• Reviewing and evaluating management’s assessment of the likelihood of achieving the non-market performance conditions attached to the share-based payments
• Reviewing management’s determination of the fair value of the share-based payments granted, considering the appropriateness of the valuation model used and assessing the valuation inputs using BDO’s internal valuation specialists where appropriate
• Assessing the allocation of the share-based payment expense over the relevant vesting period • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in Notes 1 and 17 of the financial report.

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.
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.
50
==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

Subject to the specific authorities reserved to the Board under the Board Charter, the Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer responsibility for the management and operation of Elsight. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-today operations, financial performance and administration of Elsight within the powers authorised and delegated to him from time-to-time by the Board. Chief Executive Officer may make further delegation within the delegations specified by the Board and will be accountable to the Board for the exercise of those delegated powers.
Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives and structure are set out in the Board Charter which is contained within the Corporate Governance section on the Elsight website.
Board Committees
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate committees at this time including audit and risk, remuneration or nomination committees, preferring at this stage of the Company’s development, to manage the Company through the full Board of Directors. The Board assumes the responsibilities normally delegated to the audit and risk, remuneration and nomination Committees.
If the Company’s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if considered appropriate.
Board Appointments
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting that person forward as a candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in any way from undertaking the duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes of candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-election.
The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are agreed upon and set out in writing at the time of appointment.
The Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its Committees (as applicable) on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and, when applicable, Committee policies and procedures are followed, communication with regulatory bodies and the ASX as well as statutory and other filings.
Diversity
The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve measurable diversity objectives, including in respect to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity. The Diversity Policy allows the Board to set measurable gender diversity objectives (if considered appropriate) and to assess annually both the objectives (if any have been set) and the Company’s progress towards achieving them.
The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and stage of development of the Company, setting measurable objectives for the Diversity Policy at this time is not appropriate. The Board will consider setting measurable objectives as the Company increases in size and complexity.
The participation of women in the Company at the date of this report is as follows:
-
Women employees in the Company 17%
-
• Women in senior management positions 0% • Women on the Board 0%
-
The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website.

The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the Chief Executive Officer against agreed key performance indicators. A formal appraisal of the Chief Executive Officer has not been conducted during the financial year as the Chief Executive Officer was appointed on 1 November 2020.
The Chief Executive Officer conducts an annual performance assessment of senior executives against agreed key performance indicators.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Board Selection Process
The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience is required in order to effectively govern Elsight. The Board believes that orderly succession and renewal contributes to strong corporate governance and is achieved by careful planning and continual review.
The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of directors. The Board reviews the size and composition of the Board regularly and at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process.

An induction program is in place and new Directors are encouraged to engage in professional development activities to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively.
Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly
The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical conduct in employment. It underpins the Company’s commitment to integrity and fair dealing in its business affairs and to a duty of care to all employees, clients and stakeholders.
All employees and Directors are expected to:
-
respect the law and act in accordance with it;
-
maintain high levels of professional conduct;
-
respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities;
-
avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest;

An employee that breaches the Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action including, in the cases of serious breaches, dismissal. If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or will occur, he or she must report that breach to the Company Secretary, or in their absence, the Chairman. No employee will be disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach under the terms of the Company’s Whistleblower Policy. All reports will be acted upon and kept confidential.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
The Board as a whole fulfills to the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the Audit Committee Charter.
The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company throughout the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board.
The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors. It also meets with the external auditors as and when required.
The external auditors attend Elsight's AGM and are available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit.
Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor. There are qualitative limits on this non-audit work to ensure that the independence of the auditor is maintained.
There is also a requirement that the lead engagement partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more than five years.
The unaudited periodic corporate reports released to the market go through a detailed review process by the Director of Finance, followed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The final reports are then reviewed and approved by the Board for release.
CEO and CFO Certifications
The Board, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receives from its CEO and CFO (or, if none, the persons fulfilling those functions) a declaration provided in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company as required under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The policy is designed to ensure that procedures are in place so that the market is properly informed of matters which may have a material impact on the price at which Company securities are traded.
The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item of business that it considers in its meetings. Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration when they become aware of any information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company.
The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company.
The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for communicating with the ASX. All key announcements at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer are to be circulated to and reviewed by all members of the Board.
-
The Chairman, the Board, Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that: a) company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do not omit any material information required to be disclosed under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and
-
b) company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders
The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders. The Board of the Company aims to ensure that the shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company’s state of affairs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries of the Company. These contact details are available on the “Corporate Directory” page of the Company’s website.
Shareholders may elect to, and are encouraged to, receive communications from Elsight, and Elsight's securities registry, electronically. The contact details for the registry are available on the “Corporate Directory” page of the Company’s website.
The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and senior executives, Board and committee charters, annual reports and ASX announcements on the Company’s website.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout Elsight's business activities.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control framework. The Company does not have an internal audit function. Responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Company with the Chief Executive Officer having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and internal compliance and control framework. Elsight has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks.
Elsight's Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy recognises that risk management is an essential element of good corporate governance and fundamental in achieving its strategic and operational objectives. Risk management improves decision making, defines opportunities and mitigates material events that may impact security holder value.
Elsight believes that explicit and effective risk management is a source of insight and competitive advantage. To this end, Elsight is committed to the ongoing development of a strategic and consistent enterprise wide risk management program, underpinned by a risk conscious culture.
Elsight accepts that risk is a part of doing business. Therefore, the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy is not designed to promote risk avoidance. Rather, Elsight's approach is to create a risk conscious culture that encourages the systematic identification, management and control of risks whilst ensuring we do not enter into unnecessary risks or enter into risks unknowingly.
Elsight assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is it evaluates the level of risk remaining taking into account all the mitigation practices and controls which are in place. Depending on the materiality of the risks, Elsight applies varying levels and types of management plans.
The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and control system to manage Elsight’s material business risks. It receives regular reports on specific business areas where there may exist significant business risk or exposure. The Company faces risks inherent to its business, including economic risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long term. The Company has in place policies and procedures, including a risk management framework (as described in the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy), which is developed and updated to help manage these risks. The Board does not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to environmental or social sustainability risks.
-
The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes:
-
identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals and objectives, and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks;
-
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks, and designing and implementing appropriate risk management policies and internal controls; and
-
monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal compliance and controls, including regular assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control.
The Board reviews the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues to effectively manage risk.
Management reports to the Board as to the effectiveness of Elsight’s management of its material business risks at each Board meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Board as a whole fulfills the functions normally delegated to the Remuneration Committee as detailed in the Remuneration Committee Charter.
Elsight has implemented a Remuneration Policy which was designed to recognise the competitive environment within which Elsight operates and also emphasise the requirement to attract and retain high caliber talent in order to achieve sustained improvement in Elsight’s performance. The overriding objective of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an individual’s remuneration package accurately reflects their experience, level of responsibility, individual performance and the performance of Elsight.
The key principles are to:
-
review and approve the executive remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for shareholders;
-
ensure that the executive remuneration policy demonstrates a clear relationship between key executive performance and remuneration;
-
fairly and responsibly reward executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the executive and the prevailing remuneration expectations in the market;
-
remunerate fairly and competitively in order to attract and retain top talent;
-
recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; and
-
review and approve equity based plans and other incentive schemes to foster a partnership between employees and other security holders.
The Board determines the Company’s remuneration policies and practices and assesses the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members. The Board is responsible for evaluating Board performance, reviewing Board and management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the Chief Executive Officer, Non-Executive Directors and senior management based on an annual review.
Elsight’s executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to directors and key management personnel (where applicable) are set out in the Remuneration Report.
Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation where applicable) for their services, the reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances options.
The maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is $300,000 per annum as disclosed within the Company’s constitution. The Directors set the individual Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders.
Executive directors and other senior executives (where appointed) are remunerated using combinations of fixed and performance based remuneration. Fees and salaries are set at levels reflecting market rates and performance based remuneration is linked directly to specific performance targets that are aligned to both short and long term objectives.
The Company prohibits Directors and employees from entering into any transaction that would have the effect of hedging or otherwise transferring the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company’s securities to any other person.
Further details in relation to the company’s remuneration policies are contained in the Remuneration Report, within the Directors’ report.
