Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management person of Montec International Limited (the Company), and for the executive receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with shareholder and business objectives. The board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the consolidated group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of the consolidated group is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was developed by the nomination and remuneration committee and approved by the board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants.

  • All key management personnel receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, with the potential for options and other incentives. Option to be issued at the discretion of the Board. Since 1 October 2008, key management personnel has either received a reduced base salary or not been paid salary.

  • The nomination and remuneration committee reviews key management personnel packages annually by reference to the consolidated group’s performance and executive performance.

Page 4

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)

The performance of key management personnel is reviewed annually and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the consolidated group’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and option incentives are issued at the discretion of the Board. Any incentives or bonuses must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of other key management personnel executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The key management personnel receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the company and expensed, shares given to key management personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by key management personnel. Options are valued using the BlackScholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was as outlined in the Company’s Initial Public Offering prospectus of $300,000 per annum. However, non-executive directors were not remunerated since 1 October 2008 to accomplish the reduction of expenditures for the Company. These amounts have been forfeited by the non-executive directors, not to be paid at future date. Therefore, no accrual has been made in the balance sheet at year end.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from external parties as well as the fees paid to non executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration Policy

The board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

The remuneration structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company. The contracts for service between the company and key management personnel are on a continuing basis, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Upon retirement key management personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of retirement.

Since 1 October 2008, each Non-Executive Director has not received a fee for being a director of the company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statement is a general purpose financial statement that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial statements cover Montec International Limited and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity (“Group”). Montec International Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Montec International Limited and its controlled entities comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Montec International Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 29 September 2014.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements has been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Significant Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity that Montec International Limited has the power to control the financial and operating polices of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end, except for Beijing Montec Commercial Limited, which has a December year end.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

b. Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the result for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,

Page 14

excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b. Income Tax (Continued)

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

As all the controlled entities are foreign companies Montec International Limited has not formed a tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.

c. Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 10% - 37.5 %

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

d. Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged on a straight-line basis unless another method is more representative of the time pattern of the users benefits.

e. Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transactions costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e. Financial Instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

f. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

g. Financial assets

Non-current investments are measured on the cost basis as they represent investments in wholly owned subsidiaries which are consolidated in accordance with note 1(a). The carrying amount of non-current investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed by comparing the underlying net assets to carrying value recognised in the Company.

h. Intangibles

Patents and acquired rights

Patents and acquired rights are recognised at cost of acquisition and are amortised over the period in which their benefits are expected to be realised and adjusted for any impairment losses. The patents expired on 12 June 2012. The carrying amount of patents and acquired rights are reviewed annually to ensure they do not exceed the recoverable amount.

i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances (continued)

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period, where this approximates the rate at date of transaction; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

j. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the consolidated group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

Contributions are made by the consolidated group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

k. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

l. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes:

  • cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts.

m. Revenue

Revenue in the form of royalties from the utilisation of technology is recognised upon the sale of raw materials supplied as part of the contractual agreement with customers. Revenue is also derived from the sale of raw materials to customers which is recognised on the date of delivery.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

n. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

o. Comparative Figures

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

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

p. Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of a going concern notwithstanding, the consolidated group incurred a loss of $421,748 and had net cash used in operating activities of $367,767 during the year ended 30 June 2014, and had a net deficiency in current assets of $419,245 at 30 June 2014. The cash flow projections of the consolidated entity evidence that the consolidated entity will require positive cash flows from additional capital funds or financing to continue operations. The Directors anticipate the funding provided will be sufficient to cover its liabilities when they fall due.

The consolidated group’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully raising additional capital. Whilst the directors are confident of raising funds either through a capital raising or financing, should the need arise, if additional funds are not generated or raised, the going concern basis may not be appropriate. As a result the consolidated group may have to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

Whilst there is material uncertainty, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis as they are satisfied that, based on the cash flow forecasts prepared including receipts from future fund raising, the consolidated group will be able to meet its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Confirmation was received from the convertible note holder that they will not call upon the convertible note for payment until after September 2015.

q. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statement based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key Estimates

Impairment of intangibles – Patents

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

r. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. There were no significant effects on current period or future periods arising from the first-time application of these standards in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement of accounts.

s. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The following Australian Accounting Standards have been issued or amended and are applicable to the Group but are not yet effective. They have not been adopted in preparation of the financial statements at reporting date and the directors do not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the financial statements.

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated amending standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.

The directors estimate that the Group has carry-forward income tax losses of $18,458,236 (2013: $18,177,860) available to offset against future years’ taxable income. The benefits of these losses have not been brought to account as there is no convincing evidence of future taxable profits to offset losses. The benefit will only be obtained if:

(i) The Group derives future assessable income of the nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits from the deductions for the losses to be realised.

(ii) The Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the parent entity and its controlled entities in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

  • (ii) During the financial year the Group acquired a 33.5% ownership interest in Lark Distillery Pty Limited (Lark), a Tasmanian based whisky distillery.

At 30 June 2014, the investment in Lark is recorded at cost, with no impairment.

The directors have determined that, although the Company holds in excess of 20% ownership and has one director of six directors on the Board, the Group does not control Lark or have significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Lark.

Having regard to the acquisition of shares in Lark in January 2014 and a further subscription for shares in March 2014 by the Group no impairment charge has been made at 30 June 2014.

In considering matter relating to impairment the directors have taken into account:

  • a. The acquisition of shares at the cost equivalent to that of the Group by non-associated third parties to the Group & Lark in March 2014;

  • b. The improved operating performance of Lark in the period subsequent to acquisition by the Group;

  • c. Lark receiving the Telstra Tasmanian Business of the year Award Winner for 2014 and being awarded the Telstra National Small Business Award Winner for 2014.

NOTE 21: SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Inter segment transactions

Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. The prices charged on inter-segment transactions are the same as those charged for similar goods to parties outside of the consolidated group at an arm’s length. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.

Segment assets

Assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities consist principally of accounts payable, employee entitlements, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings.

NOTE 25: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

a. Financial Risk Management Policy

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, loans to and from subsidiaries.

The Board and Management monitor risks on a regular basis as part of formal board meeting and ad-hoc management discussion.

i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risks, foreign currency risk and credit risk.

Liquidity risks

The Group manages liquidity risk by continually monitoring forecast cash flows and generating when required additional capital funding as necessary. It is noted that the group does not have any borrowing facilities.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the group’s measurement currency. The management managed the foreign currency transactions on a monthly basis to avoid the fluctuation on the exchange rate, while the Group does not have any material foreign currency risk exposure. Where exposures do arise, forward foreign exchange contracts will be applied.

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2014.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

b. Financial Instruments

i. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group was party to a derivative financial instrument during the year as the result of the terms in the convertible notes. Prior to year-end the derivative was reversed as the convertible notes on issue were repaid under the rights issue that occurred 28 May 2014. As such there is no derivative financial instrument at year-end.

ii. Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis

The tables below reflect the weighted average effective interest rate on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities

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.

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion:

  • a the financial report of Montec International 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 2014 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 the notes to the financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(p) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $421,748, net cash used in operating activities of $367,767 and a net current asset deficiency of $419,245 for the year ended 30 June 2014. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(p), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which 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, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

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.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
