Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Directors' report 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2016.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Glenn Fozard - Chairman Ashley Moore - Managing Director Barry Richards David Smith

Principal activities

During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of investment, research, development and commercialisation of environmentally cleaner technologies and processes capable of reducing carbon emissions and environmental damage in the energy and resource sectors. Such activities included:

development of a large-scale demonstration project for the Coldry Process;
advancement of the Matmor Process toward pilot scale; and
managing the development of, and extracting value from, the consolidated entity's intellectual property.

Coldry Process

The Coldry process is low temperature, low pressure and therefore a low cost method of de-watering low-rank coal to produce an upgraded black coal equivalent. The process is currently poised to progress from pilot-scale to demonstrationscale allowing techno-economic validation ahead of intended broader commercial roll-out.

The Coldry process produces pellets that are stable, easily stored, can be transported, and are of equal or higher energy value than many black coals. When used in electricity production, Coldry pellets have a significantly lower CO2 footprint than the low-rank coal from which they are made, providing a compelling abatement solution.

The Coldry process also acts as a ‘Gateway technology’, making an ideal front-end feedstock that enables numerous higher value upgrading applications such as coal to oil, gas and iron production. When integrated with our Matmor process, the Coldry process provides an essential and cost effective front-end drying and pelletising solution that enables the world's first and only low-rank coal based primary iron production method.

Essentially, the Coldry process combines two mechanisms to achieve efficient, cost-effective de-watering; Brown Coal Densification; and Waste Heat Utilisation. Brown Coal Densification is achieved through the destruction of the internal porous structures, mobilising the structurally trapped water within low-rank coal. Waste Heat Utilisation provides ‘free’ evaporative energy to remove the moisture, thereby minimising paid energy input, resulting in net energy uplift and net CO2 reductions.

Matmor Process

Matmor is a cleaner, lower-emission, one-step process for producing high-grade primary iron, using low-rank coal to displace the need for coking coals, as used in the incumbent blast furnace process.

The Matmor process leverages a fundamentally different chemical pathway compared to the incumbent blast furnace process, enabling the use of alternative raw materials, providing a lower-cost primary iron making alternative.

Matmor creates a high-grade iron product from low-rank coal and ferrous media such as iron ore, mill scale or other iron bearing wastes or tailings. The process involves blending low-rank coal with iron ore or other metal oxide bearing media to form a paste that is dewatered using the Coldry process. The ‘composite’ pellets are then fed into ECT's simple low cost, low emission, patented Matmor retort where the remaining moisture is removed, the coal volatiles are driven off and the iron oxides are reduced to metal.

The Matmor process operates below 1000ºC, compared to a blast furnace which operates at around 1500ºC. Lower temperature operation requires less energy input and results in less thermal stress on the plant, enabling lower cost materials to be used in its construction.

Matmor metal product is an ideal feedstock for the production of specific grades and forms of iron and steel, via secondary processes such as electric arc, induction furnace or fully integrated steel making.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Directors' report 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Intellectual Property

The Group owns both the Coldry and Matmor intellectual property. The Coldry process is covered by patents, or pending patents in all major markets with significant brown coal deposits.

Matmor is covered by two Australian patents, and due to its intrinsic reliance on Coldry for feedstock preparation, is afforded an additional degree of protection via Coldry patents. In markets where neither Coldry nor Matmor patents exist, the company will employ other IP protection strategies.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations

Major Highlights:

14 Dec 2015 – Final clearances were received from the Government of India to proceed with the Tripartite Agreement with Indian public sector undertakings (PSUs) NLC, India’s national lignite authority and NMDC, India’s national iron ore authority. Following extended reviews by Indian Government agencies, including the Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Steel, Ministry of External Affairs, and the Cabinet Secretariat, clearance for the parties to sign the agreement was provided.

19 Jan 2016 – The Tripartite Agreement was signed in the presence of Mr Sean Kelly, Australia’s Consul-General for Southern India, at Neyveli.

30 June 2016 – The Techno Economic Feasibility (TEF) study for a commercial scale integrated Coldry and Matmor facility to produce medium grade billet steel at 500ktpa was completed and provided to partners NLC India and NMDC.

Financial Results:

The reportable loss for the consolidated entity was higher at $4,238k vs prior year of $3,716k. This was driven by higher expenses at $6,639k vs prior year $5,408k. However, the increase in expenses was driven by non-cash adjustments – see below for further commentary. Core cash expenses showed a small reduction year on year, despite increases in Bacchus Marsh plant activity and India project preparation works.

Increased sales of by-products from the consolidated entities R&D activities in addition to the provision of consulting services resulted in a year-on-year increase in sales revenue of $71k.

The Other Revenue category includes the combination of two line items. First, a reduction in recorded AusIndustry R&D rebate ($1,556k vs. prior year $1,679k), driven by changes in accounting treatment of the record date for this revenue. Specifically, the prior year figure included two years’ worth of R&D tax incentive rebate reported within the 2014-15 period. The change in accounting policy implemented during the prior reporting period relates to the recognition of the R&D incentive rebate receivable in the year it is earned, versus the prior practice of recognising it when it was paid. The actual R&D tax incentive rebate earned within the year is higher, year-on-year, largely due to the full year of depreciation associated with the Matmor test plant assets purchase (see below; ‘Depreciation and Amortisation’).

Second, there are adjustments – required by accounting standards – to recognise the change in estimates on the earn-out provision for the Coldry purchase, driven by adjustments to the expected future production profile, increasing this line item by $760,256. This is a non-cash adjustment.

Importantly, higher expenses were driven by much higher non-cash expense items; ‘Depreciation & Amortisation’ ($3,031k vs. prior year $1,893k) and ‘Change in fair value of financial liabilities – Matmor’ ($584k vs. prior year nil), offset by lower Finance costs ($658k vs. prior year $1,110k). The higher Depreciation charge is associated with the consolidated entity’s acquisition of the Matmor Test Plant assets in December 2014, and the subsequent depreciation over its operating life. This reporting period contains a full year of depreciation, compared to the prior reporting period which contained approximately 6 months’ depreciation. The ‘Change in fair value’ results from an adjustment to the likely timing of the satisfaction of the residual payments for the Matmor Test plant assets, impacting their net present value via change in the discount rate (see Note 16 for further detail). Offsetting the higher non-cash depreciation and adjustment cost increases were reductions in Finance costs, also a largely non-cash expense line item.

In terms of core expense areas; Corporate, Legal, Employee costs, Sales & Marketing, Engineering and Plant costs, Occupancy and Travel & Accommodation, the expenses reduced year on year ($2,365k vs. prior year $2,404k).

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Directors' report 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

This was achieved through reductions in:

Sales & Marketing expense ($154k year over year; due to change in operational emphasis from project promotion activity to project development activity);
Legal expense ($24k year-on-year), and;
Occupancy expense ($19k, realised with new office location). Offsetting these savings were:

• Increased costs associated with the Pilot plant and Engineering costs ($72k year-on-year, associated with additional engineering works to support development, as well as Bacchus Marsh preparatory works ahead of the plant upgrades);

• Corporate expenses ($59k year-on-year, contributed to by increases in Accounting and Audit expense, associated with developing appropriate reporting for Matmor Test Plant assets), and;

• Travel expense ($37k year over year, as activity required additional time to be spent with partners NLC, NMDC, Thermax, Dastur and Yes Bank).

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 19 January 2016, the company secured a binding agreement to proceed with project development activities for its Coldry and Matmor technologies with India’s national lignite authority, Neyveli Lignite Corporation and India’s largest iron ore miner, NMDC.

On 20 January 2016, 75,253,967 ordinary shares were issued raising $1,503,971. This was a result of the exercise of 166,667 ESIOA options at $0.009 each, 25,000 ESIOB options at $0.015 each, and the issue of 75,062,300 ordinary shares at $0.02 in satisfaction of the primary Fast Finance debt facility which had a carrying value of $1,501,246 at 31 December 2015, leaving $300,000 which expired on 27 April 2016.

During January 2016, the company received a R&D Tax Incentive refund of $1,114,594 relating to the 2015 financial year.

On 2 February 2016, the company finalised a loan facility agreement with Innovation Structured Finance Co., LLC, a specialty finance company established by Brevet Capital, a New York City based investment manager. The Brevet facility is a senior secured loan, established on commercial terms, and provides short-term flexibility to draw down against the company’s current accrued R&D Tax Incentive refund for the 2016 financial year recognised as a receivable amounting to $1,556,315.

On 14 March 2016, the company issued 30 million ESIOB options (value $180,000) and 170 million unlisted options (estimated value $1,136,020 – see note 34 ‘Share-based payments’) as consideration for a performance payment to Platinum Road Nominees pursuant to the Operations Exercise program as previously announced.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The company advised the market that the TEF report, delivered to NLC and NMDC on 30 June 2016, was advancing through the review process with the aim of reaching commercial terms on the project during October 2016. A public version of the TEF report was released on 8 August 2016.

An extension to the Brevet loan facility to support FY 2017 activity was announced on 24 August 2016.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2016 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Coldry

Delivery of the Coldry Demonstration Plant is the consolidated entity's number one objective. To that end the consolidated entity has developed its India strategy to develop low-cost engineering capability for plant and equipment as well as advancing project opportunities for demonstration.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Directors' report 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Matmor

The company appointed pyrometallurgical engineering design firm MN Dastur as technical partner on the development of the Matmor process.

Matmor is positioned to commence the next steps in scale-up on the commercialisation pathway:

pre-feasibility and expanded testing works at the Test Plant to prepare the design briefing to support commencement of pilot plant design;
pilot plant design program; and
pilot plant construction and operations

The search for the most appropriate technical partner for Matmor is approaching conclusion.

Since the 2014 reporting period, the interest in Matmor from potential partners in India has increased. This interest has resulted in the acceleration of the planned timing of the pilot plant project, immediately following successful commissioning of the Coldry Demonstration Plant, and supported by amendments to the proposed Coldry Demonstration Plant to facilitate appropriate integration with the Matmor Pilot Plant.

Environmental regulation

With respect to current activities, the company is not the subject of environmental regulations. However, as the company considers commencement of operations through the Coldry Demonstration Plant, this status will change. Appropriate planning is in place to manage this transition.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel (KMP) remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

KMP are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Details of remuneration
Service agreements
Share-based compensation
Additional information
Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The Board’s remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the KMP’s duties and responsibilities and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. KMP remuneration is arrived at after consideration of the level of expertise each director and executive brings to the company, the time and commitment required to efficiently and effectively perform the required tasks and after reference to payments made to KMP's in similar positions in other companies.

The Board, through the Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee is responsible for the executive reward framework and making recommendations on remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Board members and senior executives of the company. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders and is consistent with market best practice. It is the aim of the Board of Directors ('the Board') that the executive reward structure satisfies appropriate corporate governance guidelines such that it is competitive and reasonable, acceptable to shareholders, aligns remuneration with KMP performance indicators, and is transparent to all stakeholders.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.

Non-executive directors' remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee. The Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure that non-executive directors' remuneration is appropriate and in line with the market. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives.

The aggregate non-executive director remuneration is determined by a general meeting. Effective 1 July 2012, the base fee payable to non-executive directors for discharging their duties as directors was capped at $75,000 per annum each, being $50,000 in cash and $25,000 in shares, for which shareholders provided approval at the 2012 AGM.

The company has a three-tier base remuneration and a two-tier additional remuneration structure in place as follows:

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Directors' report 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Three tier base remuneration:

Two tier additional reward remuneration structure:

Non-executive directors - $25,000 Non-executive directors (committee members) - $50,000 Trainee Director - $30,000

Committee chair - $10,000 Chairman - $25,000

Pursuant to a General Meeting held on 23 August 2013, the following 'Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Policy' with respect to remunerating non-executive directors of the company for providing extra services on behalf of the company or its business was approved.

Any remuneration paid to a non-executive director must be reasonable given the circumstances of the company and the responsibilities of the non-executive director;
wherever practicable, the company will obtain an independent quotation or estimate from an appropriate independent party in respect of those additional services;
if the non-executive director is an appropriate person to perform those additional services, the remuneration must be benchmarked against any such quotation or estimate obtained by the company;
the Managing Director (or if absent, their delegate) must report to the Board on the budgetary impact to the company of the proposed engagement of the non-executive director. Any engagement of a non-executive director to provide those additional services must be unanimously approved by all directors (other than the non-executive director providing services);
the non-executive director must report in writing to the Board at the completion of the additional services in such form as the Board may reasonably require;
all amounts paid to non-executive directors in respect of providing those additional services will be disclosed in the annual financial statements of the company; and
the above policy also applies to entities associated with a director, where the additional services of the non-executive director are provided through that entity.

Executive remuneration

The Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee is responsible for determining remuneration and nomination policies in respect of KMP. In establishing such policies, the Committee is guided by external remuneration surveys and industry practices, commensurate with the scale and size of the company’s operations. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of their own remuneration. The remuneration levels are reviewed regularly to ensure the company remains competitive as an employer.

Executive and Director Incentive Plan

The Board considers it important that a component of executive and director remuneration be by way of the issue of company securities to help align their interests to the success of the company. The Plan permits the grant of bonuses in the form of shares, options or rights on an annual basis to KMP (including executive directors) as an incentive component of their remuneration, to reward performance against benchmarks agreed by the Board, and to reduce the cash expenditure of the company. The Plan does not contemplate the issue of securities to non-executive directors.

The Board may at its discretion impose one or more vesting conditions, including time or performance conditions, at the time of the grant of rights or options under the Plan. Any issue of shares or grant of options and rights will not confer any right or interest in shares, nor have any entitlement to dividends until any vesting conditions have been met. Any options or rights which have not been exercised will expire and cease to exist in accordance with the terms and conditions specified at the time of grant. The Plan permits the Board to enforce forfeiture of unvested shares, options and rights under defined circumstances. If a change of control of the company occurs, the Board may at its discretion resolve that the vesting conditions applicable to unvested options or rights be waived.

In respect of the Managing Director, the issue of shares, options or performance rights under the Plan will be applied to the provision of bonuses and/or part of his base remuneration.

The Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2016.

Any securities issued under the Plan are not counted against the 15% limit on placements, given shareholders' approval, as required under the ASX Listing Rules. No bonuses were achieved in the fiscal year ended 30 June 2016.

Executive remuneration and reward framework

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components which comprises an executives total remuneration:

base pay and non-monetary benefits
consulting fees
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives in charge of meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI’s include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management.

The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and shares or options under the Plan.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined KPI being met. The remaining portion of the bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Remuneration, Nomination and Governance Committee. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years.

Use of remuneration consultants

During the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the consolidated entity did not engage any remuneration consultants for the purpose of review of existing remuneration policies.

Glenn Fozard's remuneration includes the granting of performance based options. During the year, 4,000,000 options expired without meeting vesting conditions.

There are a further 11,000,000 unvested options that are due to expire during 2017 unless they vest upon performance targets being met.

Represents remuneration for the period of the financial year during which the individual held office as director.
** Glenn Fozard's remuneration includes the granting of performance based options, the charge for which is included above for reference, though these options have not yet been issued since performance targets have not yet been satisfied.
*** Ashley Moore’s remuneration package for the year was $250k inclusive of salary and superannuation. Effective March 2015, Mr Moore voluntarily reduced his package by $25k p.a. pending project progression milestones. Further, in July 2014 he cashed-out $30k of outstanding annual leave.

The proportion of remuneration for the year linked to performance and the fixed proportion are as follows:

	Fixed
	remuneration	At risk - LTI
Name	2016	2016
Non-Executive Directors:
Barry Richards	100%	-
David Smith	100%	-
Executive Directors:
Glenn Fozard *	100%	-
Ashley Moore	100%	-
Other Key Management Personnel:
Adam Giles	100%	-

Glenn Fozard's remuneration for the year as shown in the remuneration table reflects the expiry of unvested options (LTI), the value of which is required to be reversed pursuant to accounting standards. This produces a negative LTI remuneration expense and would result in a negative LTI percentage of (5%) which has not been shown in the above table.

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Going concern

For the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the consolidated entity had an operating net loss of ($4,238,067), net cash outflows from operating activities of ($1,367,528), and net current liabilities at the reporting date of $1,206,215. The consolidated entity currently does not have a source of revenue and is reliant on equity capital or loans from third parties to meet its operating costs.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon a number of factors, one being the continuation and availability of funds. The requirement for funding indicates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. To this end, the consolidated entity is expecting to fund ongoing obligations as follows:

drawdowns against the Brevet Capital loan facility, secured over the company's entitlements to available future R&D Tax Incentive receipts.
facilitated exercise of listed options via mandated arrangements with Platinum Road Pty Ltd; and
issuance of equity via ECT securities, or debt funding, to support project funding needs in India. (There are 1,216,714,030 ESIOA options currently on issue, and with the current stock price being above their exercise price, this opens the potential for conversion capital inflows in excess of $10.9m. This could provide substantial working capital, as well as significant repayments against the Matmor deferred consideration)

Based on the above and cash flow forecasts prepared, the directors are of the opinion that the company is well positioned to meet its objectives and obligations going forward and therefore that the basis upon which the financial statements are prepared is appropriate in the circumstances.

Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessarily incurred should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

Comparatives

Certain comparatives have been reclassified to align with current period presentation. There was no effect on the loss for the period, net asset position or cash flows.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 28.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Environmental Clean Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Rendering of services

Consulting services revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the respective contract.

Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date.

Research and development tax refund

The consolidated entity has adopted the income approach to accounting for research and development tax offsets pursuant to AASB 120 'Accounting for Government Grant and Disclosure of Government Assistance' whereby the incentive is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the consolidated entity recognises the eligible expenses.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure in respect of research and development is charged to profit or loss as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the consolidated entity can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'stand-alone taxpayer' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus postacquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the consolidated entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

For the purposes of establishing the expected useful life, assets are defined as either ‘commercial’ or ‘research and development’.

Depreciation of commercial assets is calculated on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment - 15 years
Furniture and fittings - 10 years
Office equipment - 3 years

Depreciation of research & development assets is calculated on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives within a defined research and development program context as follows:

Matmor R&D plant and equipment - 2 years
Coldry R&D plant and equipment upgrades – 12 months

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Intellectual property

Significant costs associated with intellectual property are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful life of 20 years.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Changes in fair value as a result of changes in estimates of future cash flows are recognised separately in profit and loss.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This standard is currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed.

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

Other amending accounting standards

Other amending accounting standards issued are not considered to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the consolidated entity as their amendments provide either clarification of existing accounting treatment or editorial amendments.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity estimates the effective life of intellectual property to be 20 years and amortises these assets on a straight-line basis. Where the resulting effective life differs from that recognised, the impact will be recorded in profit or loss in the period such determinations are made.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2016

==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in Australia. The consolidated entity estimates its tax liabilities based on the understanding of the tax laws and advice from tax experts. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period such determinations are made.

Earn-out provision

The earn-out provision is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of the reporting date using a discount rate of 41.5%. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of expected timing and quantities of production are taken into consideration.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred consideration - Matmor

The deferred consideration liability has been calculated based on discounted cash flow projections out to June 2017 and as all amounts are considered as being highly probable to be settled within 12 months, a nil discount rate has been applied (2015: 41.5%). The projections include consideration of the timing of the exercise of ESIOA and ESIOB options and other events as disclosed at Note 16 that would trigger a cash outflow pursuant to the deferred consideration structure. At each reporting date, the deferred consideration liability is reassessed against revised estimates and any increase or decrease in the net present value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss to profit or loss. The increase in the liability resulting from the passage of time or the change in discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.

Research and development tax offset

The consolidated entity adopts the income approach to accounting for the research and development tax offset pursuant to AASB 120 'Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance'. The directors have concluded that the consolidated entity has developed sufficient systems and knowledge to allow reasonable assurance to be obtained with respect to the measurement and recognition of tax rebates receivable at the time of incurring eligible expenses.

Note 3. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity's operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Innovation Structured Finance Co. (Brevet Capital) Loan

On 2 February 2016, the company finalised a loan facility agreement with Innovation Structured Finance Co., LLC, a specialty finance company established by Brevet Capital, a New York City based investment manager. The Brevet facility is a senior secured loan, established on commercial terms, and provides short-term flexibility to draw down against the company’s current accrued AusIndustry R&D Tax Incentive refund for the 2016 financial year which has been recognised at $1,556,315 (refer note 9).

Note 16. Current liabilities - provisions (continued)

Deferred consideration liability - Matmor Assets

As part consideration for the acquisition of the Matmor asset, deferred consideration of $3.5m cash was incurred. The timing of paying consideration up to the cash amount of $3.5m to Matmor Steel is dependent upon if, and when, ESIOA and ESIOB series options ('ESI options') of the company are exercised as well as the various milestones being met. The consideration will become payable through combination of any of the following triggers, and at the amounts attributed to each trigger, until the liability has been satisfied:

(a) 50% of proceeds received by ECT from exercise of ESI Options up to a cash amount of $1m

(b) a minimum of 15% of proceeds received by ECT from exercise of ESI Options thereafter

(d) $500,000 on the Matmor Pilot Plant operations achieving an agreed steady state as well as conversion targets

(e) $1,000,000 on signing of a binding contract for construction of a commercial scale Matmor plant

(f) first collection of revenue in any form from commercialisation of Matmor technology

In measuring the present value of the liability, management have estimated when options will likely be exercised and when milestones will likely be achieved. Based on current projections, the consolidated entity expects the entire liability to be settled within 12 months and as such a nil discount rate has been applied (2015: 41.5%).

Movements in provisions

Movements in the deferred consideration - Matmor provision during the current financial year are set out below:

Consolidated - 2016 Carrying amount at the start of the year Paid out Conversion to shares Unwinding of discount * Fair value loss on revision of estimates Carrying amount at the end of the year	Deferred consideration - Matmor $ 2,562,555 (521,096) (969,128) 353,096 584,348

The unwinding of discount has been included within finance costs

	371,247	869,444

Earn-out provision

The earn-out provision represents deferred consideration related to the acquisition of the Coldry intellectual property from the Maddingley Group. The consideration payable is calculated based on $0.50 per projected processed tonne of coal feedstock between 2018 and 2023 and is discounted at a rate of 41.5%. The consideration, estimated as payable through to 2023, is capped at $3,000,000.

The reduction in the balance occurring since 30 June 2015 is largely a result of a change in estimates related to the timing of production tonnage and duration of the projected production period before it is anticipated that the $3,000,000 cap is attained.

Note 18. Equity - issued capital (continued)

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

Options exercised

The amounts attributable to shares issued pursuant to exercise of options consists of the price paid on exercise of the option. The related amount of option premium received on issue of the option has been transferred from the relevant option reserve to which it was originally credited.

Share buy-back

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The consolidated entity monitors capital by reference to cash flow forecasts in relation the operating revenue and expenditure. The consolidated entity also monitors its capital expenditure requirements to identify any additional capital required.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.

Note 21. Financial instruments (continued)

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The majority of the consolidated entity's operations are within Australia. A subsidiary located in India does not currently expose the consolidated entity to any significant foreign exchange risk.

Price risk

The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity has minimal exposure to interest rate risk.

Fluctuations in interest rates will not have any material risk exposure to the cash held in bank deposits at variable rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only major Australian banking institutions are used. For customers, individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not currently have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The consolidated entity aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed funding options available to meet the consolidated entity’s needs.

Financing arrangements

Note 21. Financial instruments (continued)

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

1 year or less $ 122,402 326,472 - 2,009,775 1,057,223	Between 1 and 2 years $ - - - - -	Between 2 and 5 years $ - - 525,000 - -	Over 5 years $ - - 2,475,000 - -	Remaining contractual maturities $ 122,402 326,472 3,000,000 2,009,775 1,057,223

1 year or less $ 84,113 148,417 - 3,500,000 1,644,656	Between 1 and 2 years $ - - 100,000 - -	Between 2 and 5 years $ - - 2,500,000 - -	Over 5 years $ - - 400,000 - -	Remaining contractual maturities $ 84,113 148,417 3,000,000 3,500,000 1,644,656
5,377,186	100,000	2,500,000	400,000	8,377,186

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

Cash flows related to settlement of the earn-out provision are based on timing of forecast production output upon which payment is calculated. Settlement of the Matmor deferred consideration is dependent upon the exercise of ESI options by option-holders and/or other significant commercial outcomes. It is currently projected that the loan will repaid within 12 months.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the consolidated entity for similar financial instruments.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Note 22. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Consolidated - 2016 Liabilities Deferred consideration - Matmor Assets (note 16)* Earn-out provision - Coldry IP (note 17) Total liabilities	Level 1 $ - -	Level 2 $ 2,009,775 -	Level 3 $ - 319,695	Total $ 2,009,775 319,695
	-	2,009,775	319,695	2,329,470

Due to a change in estimates, Deferred consideration – Matmor Assets have been recognised in Level 2 for the first time. Amounts recognised represent the current obligation (face value) owing by the company at balance date. Refer to note 2 for further commentary.

Consolidated - 2015 Liabilities Deferred consideration - Matmor Assets (note 16) Earn-out provision - Coldry IP (note 17) Total liabilities	Level 1 $ - -	Level 2 $ - -	Level 3 $ 2,562,555 835,044	Total $ 2,562,555 835,044
	-	-	3,397,599	3,397,599

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the forecast cash flows required to discharge the liability at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. Movements in the fair value of the financial liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 3

The above financial liabilities have been valued using a discounted cash flow model. Refer to the respective note for further details.

Level 3 assets and liabilities

The unobservable inputs and sensitivity of level 3 liabilities are as follows:

Description	Unobservable inputs	Potential range	Sensitivity
Earn-out provision	Discount rate	40% to 60% (used	A change in this rate of +/- 5% would impact the
		41.5%)	loss for the year and the value of the liability as
			follows:
			+5% would reduce loss and liability by $60,173
			-5% would increase loss and liability by $78,351
	Timing of production to	Dec 2018 to Dec 2025	The rate of payment of the earn-out liability is
	discharge liability	(used Dec 2018 to Dec	linked to the expected timing of plant production.

Perpetual Royalty Liability

In addition to the Matmor deferred consideration liability recognised, the consolidated entity has incurred a future obligation to remit a perpetual royalty to Matmor Steel, the originator of the Matmor technology, at an amount calculated at 3% of licensing income received by the consolidated entity after allowing for deductions. Given the uncertainties and risks associated with developing new technologies and the current stage of development of the technology, the liability value is presently immaterial and has not been recognised.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility 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 Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Opinion

In our opinion:

(a) the financial report of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 (Going concern) in the financial report, which indicates the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity or loans. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1 (Going concern), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 7 to 13 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2016. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
