REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Energy Technologies Limited (EGY) has reported a consolidated loss of $395,374 after tax and minority interest for the half year period to 31 December 2013. EGY’s wholly owned subsidiary Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd (BWC) reported a loss after tax of $258,023 (December 2012 $446,668).
The EGY parent entity net loss was $125,391, down from previous corresponding period loss of $444,043 as a result of significant cost cutting and the transfer of key executives to BWC, the main operating company and focus of the group. The group result for the half year to 31 December 2012 included a one off discount on acquisition of BWC of $785,029.
BWC recovered $458,090 of expenses as a result of the Federal R&D Grant. This was received during the half year to 31 December 2013. As a result of the establishment of a new laboratory and testing facility and a focus on the development of new markets and products the company expects to recover an amount in excess of this for the FY2014 claim. An amount of $240,000 has been accrued to date. The overall cable industry in Australia continues to experience tough economic conditions with various competitors reporting a drop in revenue up to 30% year on year. However despite BWC reporting a loss the company has improved sales month on month and in comparison to the previous corresponding period is able to report a 20% increase in sales.
In November 2013 the former General Manager of BWC was replaced by EGY Director Alfred Chown. Mr Chown has implemented a series of overhead cost reductions which will impact from 1 March 2014 and deliver savings in excess of $50,000 per month from that point. He has also targeted raw material supply and it is anticipated that production costs as a result will be reduced across the board by 10% over time.
These savings will greatly enhance margins and reverse the margin erosion experienced over the past 12 months due to poor trading conditions and a high Australian dollar.
The company will seek to raise up to 1.5 million dollars over the next three months to replenish working capital and fund modern cable manufacturing equipment.
The company is enjoying significant market opportunity in the road and rail sector, and currently has its strongest forward order book for many years.
It is anticipated that further savings will be found in the coming months especially in the area of raw materials.
The board is confident that the business will continue to experience strong sales growth and that subject to a successful capital raising will be able to dramatically improve productivity by the addition of selected new equipment to the Sydney factory.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report
Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements 31 December 2013
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
The half-year financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Energy Technologies Limited and its controlled entities (the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Energy Technologies Limited as at 30 June 2013 together with any public announcements made during the half-year.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except in relation to some of the matters discussed at Note 1(c) below.
(b) Going Concern
The consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $407,258 and negative cash flows from operations of $975,764 for the half-year ended 31 December 2013.
These matters give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ongoing operation of the consolidated entity is dependent upon it:
(i) achieving cash flow positive trading operations from its existing business;
-
(ii) receiving continued financial support from its current financiers and directors; and
-
(iii) raising further working capital funding during the current half-year.
Management have prepared cash flow projections that support the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern. The cash flow projections for the period to 31 March 2015 assume a 15% increase in daily sales revenues compared to the last half-year and a 7% increase in gross margin; together with $1,000,000 of new convertible note funding for working capital purposes, and no notes are redeemed during the period.
Certain Directors and major shareholders have formally undertaken to provide further financial support if required up to 30 September 2014.
Sales results for the current half-year to date are in line with the projected increase in sales revenues. The Directors are confident of achieving the forecast performance and raising the necessary additional funds. Consequently, the Directors believe the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on that basis.
In the event that the consolidated entity is unable to achieve the matters detailed above, it may not be able to continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated entity may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
No adjustments have been made to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset values and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity and company not continue as going concerns.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report
Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements
31 December 2013
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT (Cont’d)
(c) New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-Year Reporting Period
- (i) Consolidated financial statements, joint arrangements and disclosure of interests in other entities
The Group has adopted the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards from 1 July 2013 together with consequential amendments to other Standards:
-
AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements;
-
AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures;
-
AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
-
AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards ; and
-
AASB 2012-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments
These Standards became mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2013 and became applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013. The Group has applied these Accounting Standards retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the specific transition requirements in AASB 10 and AASB 11. The effects of initial application of these Standards in the current half-year reporting period are as follows:
- Consolidated financial statements:
AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. Revised AASB 127 facilitates the application of AASB 10 and prescribes requirements for separate financial statements of the parent entity. On adoption of AASB 10, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests related to investments in businesses that are now assessed as being controlled by the Group, and were therefore not previously consolidated, are measured as if the investee had been consolidated (and therefore applied acquisition accounting in accordance with AASB 3: Business Combinations) from the date when the Group obtained control of that investee on the basis of the requirements in AASB 10.
Upon the initial application of AASB 10, retrospective restatement of financial statement amounts of the year that immediately precedes the date of initial application (ie 2012-2013) is necessary. When control is considered to have been obtained earlier than the beginning of the immediately preceding year (ie pre-1 July 2012), any difference between the amount of assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests recognised and the previous carrying amount of the investment in that investee is recognised as an adjustment to equity as at 1 July 2012.
Although the first-time application of AASB 10 (together with the associated Standards) caused certain changes to the Group’s accounting policy for consolidation and determining control, it did not result in any changes to the amounts reported in the Group’s financial statements as the “controlled” status of the existing subsidiaries did not change, nor did it result in any new subsidiaries being included in the Group as a consequence of the revised definition.
- Disclosure of interest in other entities:
AASB12 is the standard that addresses disclosure requirements of AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 127 and AASB 128.
In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive in the consolidated financial statements.

Accordingly, whilst Directors do not envisage any early redemption, notes issued prior to balance date have been classified as current liabilities in these financial statements. Each note may be converted to ordinary shares at any time up to maturity date. The interest is calculated on the face value of each note at the rate which is eight percentage points higher than the RBA cash rate from time to time, paid monthly in arrears, until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the conversion of the Convertible Note

11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – the value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below.
| Financial assets Available for sale investments • Listed investments Financial Liabilities Derivative instruments • Foreign exchange contracts • Contingent consideration |

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets as at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs. The fair value of the listed equity investments are based on quoted market prices.
For financial instruments not quoted in active markets, the Group uses valuation techniques such as present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other relevant models used by market participants. These valuation techniques use both observable and unobservable market inputs.
Financial instruments that use valuation techniques with only observable market inputs or unobservable inputs that are not significant to the overall valuation include interest rate swaps, forward commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts not traded on a recognised exchange and percentage of sales calculated as disclosed in Note 4.

Independent Review Report To The Members of Energy Technologies Limited
Report on the Half-year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Energy Technologies Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-year Financial Report
The directors of Energy Technologies Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the presentation of the halfyear financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Energy Technologies Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review for a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. As a review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
Matters Relating to Electronic Publication of the Reviewed Financial Report
This review report relates to the financial report of Energy Technologies Limited and its controlled entity’s for the half-year period ended 31 December 2013 included on the website of Energy Technologies Limited. The directors of the company are responsible for the integrity of the website and we have not been engaged to report on this integrity. This review report refers only to the subject matter described above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to or from the financial report. If users of the financial report are concerned with the inherent risk arising from publication on a website, they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the reviewed financial report to confirm the information contained in this website version of the financial report.

Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Energy Technologies Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $407,258 and negative cash flows from operations of $975,764 during the half-year ended 31 December 2013. These conditions, together with other matters set forth in Note 1(b), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
