The names and details of the Company's Directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Alfred J. Chown (Acting Chairman, Managing Director) Appointed 4 July 1997. Gary A. Ferguson (Non-Executive Director) Appointed on 1 October 2012. Philip W.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

The principal activities during the half-year of entities within the economic entity were:

  • the manufacture and sale of specialist industrial cables

  • development of energy generation technology

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The half year to 31 December 2014 continued to be challenging for the group, although the group results were much improved. EGY reported a consolidated loss after tax and minorities of $27,156 in comparison with the half year to 31 December 2013 result of a consolidated loss of $395,374. Despite this, overall revenue from operating activity at $5,360,488 was 13% down on the previous reporting period. EGY’s wholly owned subsidiary Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd (BWC) reported a loss after tax of $597,365 compared to the reported loss for the six months to 31 December 2013 of $258,023. However the 2013 half year loss included a large R &D Grant item of $698,090 which related to both the FY 2013 and HY 2013 periods. Excluding this the 31 December 2014 result is an improvement on the previous period. BWC continues to focus on the development of new markets and new and improved branded products with an amount of $360,000 accrued this financial year to date for FY2015 R&D Grant. Overall costs have been significantly reduced and savings have been achieved through sourcing less costly raw materials and securing supply of higher margin purchased product. Overall margins have increased as well on achieved sales.

The parent entity continues to reduce costs and has reported a profit after tax for the half year of $592,418. This result includes a further negotiated reduction in BWC vendor liability of $839,039. Subsequent to 31 December 2014 the BWC vendor liability has been fully retired under a negotiated settlement that resulted in a further final gain of $300,000.

Recently EGY sought to raise further funds by the issue of secured convertible notes, as approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 27 November 2014. This raising is currently oversubscribed with $2.1m subscribed by new investors. As recently announced to the ASX, a General Meeting will shortly be held to seek further shareholder approval to raise additional funds through the issue of Convertible Notes. Funds raised have been applied in the retirement of BWC vendor debt, for specific factory capital expenditure and to meet working capital requirements.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report

Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements

31 December 2014

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 2014 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 2014 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

During the half-year period the consolidated entity improved its liquidity position by raising $2.1m through a non-current convertible note offering which was oversubscribed. Funds raised have been applied in the retirement of BWC vendor debt, for specific factory capital expenditure and to meet working capital requirements. At balance date, the consolidated entity had net current assets of $1.2m.

Whilst the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax for the Half Year to 31 December 2014 of $49,365 (December 2013: $407,258 loss) and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $348,780 (December 2013: $975,764), management have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections that indicate a return to profitability and the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern. The cash flow projections for the period to 31 March 2016 reflect a significant increase in sales revenues and further cost of sales reductions. The projections also include final retirement of the BWC Vendor liability to which the Vendor has agreed, resulting in a gain of $300,000 subsequent to balance date.

The Directors are confident of achieving the forecast results and this together with the successful recent raising of funds results in the Directors believing there is no material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity continuing as a going concern and it is therefore appropriate to prepare these financial statements on that basis.

(c) New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-Year Reporting Period

Interpretation 21: Levies is mandatorily applicable for annual financial reporting periods commencing 1 January 2014 and became applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014. The Interpretation clarifies that a liability to pay a government levy should be recognised when the activity triggering the payment has occurred.

This Interpretation is not expected to significantly impact the Company's financial statements.

During the half year ended 31 December 2014 the group raised $2,100,000 (2013: $518,000) of long term interest bearing debt.

Subsequent to 31 December 2014 a full and final settlement has been obtained of all residual debt previously owing to the vendors of the wholly owned subsidiary, Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd.

Subsequent to 31 December 2014 Energy Technologies Limited issued 2,800,000 options over ordinary shares to employees of the group under the Share Option Plan as approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 27 November 2014. The options were issued at the exercise price of $0.008 and are exercisable in tranches over the three years subsequent to issue according to the rules of the plan.

General Meeting

Energy Technologies Limited has announced the intention to hold a General Meeting at a date to be advised to seek shareholder approval to raise further funds by way of Convertible Notes, in response to the over subscription of the convertible notes that were approved at the last AGM.

Other than as disclosed above, there has not arisen since the end of the financial period any matter of circumstance which, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will significantly affect the operation of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report

Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements

31 December 2014

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of financial instruments. AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into, as follows:

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 on a recurring basis are summarised in the table below.

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.

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 2014, 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 2014 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. 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 2014 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.
