Principal activities

Nanollose Limited is a leading biotechnology company, commercialising scalable technology to create fibres and fabrics with minimal environmental impact. During the financial year, the principal continuing activities of the Company consisted of research and development, and promotion of the Company’s microbial cellulose technology. The primary focus has been directed towards the development, scale up and ultimate commercialisation of the Company’s Plant-Free rayon fibre for use in textiles (nullarborTM) and non-woven applications (nufolium™).

Review of Operations

Nanollose Limited (ASX:NC6) is a leading biomaterials company commercialising scalable technology to create fibres and fabrics with minimal environmental impact. Nanollose uses an eco-friendly fermentation process to produce Tree-Free rayon fibres, which are primed to become an alternative to conventional tree-based rayon and cotton fibres.

The Company holds a number of proprietary technologies to convert wastes from the agricultural, food and beverage industries into unique eco-friendly tree-free Lyocell fibres for textiles, non-woven fabrics and other industrial applications.

The Company is targeting the US$500 billion textile industry with an initial focus on the US$14.4 billion rayon market.

Joint Patent with Grasim Industries

In January 2021, Nanollose filed a joint patent application with Birla Cellulose, Grasim Industries’ business unit focused on sustainable fibres, for a high tenacity, TreeFree lyocell made from microbial cellulose (“MC”).

The patent application, entitled High Tenacity Lyocell Fibres From Bacterial Cellulose and Method of Preparation Thereof, represents a major advancement over the Company’s previous viscose versions of nullarbor™ and nufolium™. Using the lyocell process, a team of fibre experts at Grasim’s Pulp and Fibre Innovation Centre produced nullarbor™ fibre that is finer than silk and significantly stronger than conventional lyocell that is traditionally produced from wood pulp.

Lyocell is a form of rayon, made using a closed loop process with low demand on chemical and water usage and low waste generation, which makes it very environment-friendly, resulting in an elevated demand from clothing brands.

Lyocell is widely used in textile and nonwoven applications and has become popular due to a number of desirable strength and comfort characteristics. Furthermore, the combination of Nanollose’s Tree-Free cellulose, along with lyocell’s closed-loop production process, could potentially make Nanollose’s Tree-Free lyocell one of the most ecofriendly and sustainable fibres available.

Following the success of the lyocell project coupled with the positive feedback and significant demand from brands and industry players, Nanollose and Birla Cellulose have been focused on taking this success into the pilot production phase, with the view to producing initial multikilo quantities of this next generation fibre in the second half of 2021.

Pilot Production of Tree-Free Fibres

Nanollose and Birla Cellulose are adopting a “Staged Scale Up” approach whereby pilot scale production of several blended fibres will be tested, with the blend percentage of Tree-Free microbial cellulose being progressively increased towards the eventual target of 100% Tree-Free fibre. During the year, the Company received significant interest from parties in relation to both 100% Tree Free lyocell and various blends, with samples from upcoming pilot spins to be dispatched to select brands and preferred partners during scale up.

==> picture [234 x 266] intentionally omitted <==

The production of blended fibres is a common strategy in the fibre and textile industries, and an expanded product range of blended and 100% Tree Free fibres will enable the Company to appeal to customers at different price points, broadening the Company’s addressable market. This approach presents a significant opportunity for Nanollose, with the lyocell market predicted to be worth US$1.5 billion by 2024, growing with a CAGR of around 8%1. Moreover, the overall rayon market is predicted to be US$20.9 billion by 2024, growing with a CAGR of around 7.8%.[1]

The first pilot fibre spin is an important step in the commercialisation process, as it will allow the Company to refine the processing of its MC to generate the consistency and specifications expected for commercial fibre production. The first pilot spin will also produce fibre to generate samples for potential partners in the fashion and textiles industries, in addition to providing valuable technical information about the production process, which will be further refined as the Company increases production scale.

Commercialisation process for Nanollose’s Tree-Free Fibres

The process to move from laboratory scale to pilot scale production involves the following key workstreams which are being actively progressed by Nanollose and Birla Cellulose, as described below:

In May 2021, the Company dispatched the first shipment of refined MC to Birla Cellulose’s pilot facilities in India, with the MC to undergo further processing and testing prior to being blended with other cellulosic feedstock and spun into lyocell fibre.

1 – Definition of Specifications

During the first quarter of 2021, Nanollose initiated work with its MC suppliers, contract research providers, and Birla Cellulose to refine the production and processing of MC and define product specifications, which will facilitate a smooth scaling process as it advances the commercialisation it’s Tree-Free, high tenacity lyocell.

2 – Establishment of Quality Control Policies and Procedures

Nanollose’s work in identifying target specifications, and optimising raw materials and processes, is now being used as the basis for the introduction of internal quality control systems at Nanollose, in preparation for pilot scale production and beyond. To this end, the Company has appointed an Operations and Quality Manager, as detailed below.

3 – Processing and Refining of Microbial Cellulose

4 – Optimising Drying and Purification

With certain specifications now identified (as detailed above), work is now underway to incorporate these specifications into the production processes. In particular, Nanollose has been exploring various options for optimising the purification and drying of microbial cellulose at scale. MC is well known to contain large amounts of water following its production by fermentation, and its cost-effective drying (to produce material suitable for fibre production at scale) is an important aspect of the process. Nanollose is currently working with engineering companies, both in Australia and India, which have expertise in industrial-scale drying, and early results have been promising.

While COVID-19 related lockdowns and shipping logistics have resulted in some delays, the Company has made progress on multiple fronts and is looking forward to having fabric samples from pilot production in the second half of 2021.

In collaboration with Birla Cellulose, its MC suppliers and contract research providers, the Company has been applying its learnings from the laboratory scale test work, to improve the processing of its MC with a view to production at scale.

Strategic Investment in Advanced Filtration Technology

In September 2020, Nanollose made a $200,000 strategic investment to acquire a 20% holding in CelluAir Pty Ltd (“CelluAir”), an Australian company developing an advanced filtration technology (“AFT”) based on nanocellulose.

Developed by Queensland University of Technology, the AFT has been developed and validated over a number of years, culminating in the filing of a patent application in July 2020. Multiple applications for the AFT exist across the medical, construction, and air treatment industries, thereby providing significant opportunities for both CelluAir and Nanollose.

Proceeds from the investment are being used to scale the AFT using off-the-shelf commercial equipment, in addition to commencing discussions with potential sales partners and distribution channels in Australia and internationally. In addition, the funds have been applied to CelluAir testing the suitability for Nanollose’s MC to be used in the manufacturing process.

In developing their AFT, CelluAir has completed the first scope of research comprised of the following three major areas of work, further details of which are set out in the Company’s Quarterly Activities Report released on 30 April 2021:

Formulation Optimisation;
Consistency of Nano-Cellulose Material;
Initial testing of Nanollose’s MC to determine its suitability for application to the AFT.

Appointment of Leading Fashion Consultant - Carla Woidt

In December 2020, Nanollose announced the appointment of Carla Woidt as a Fashion Consultant to the Company, to assist in further building on Nanollose’s established relationships in the Australian and global fashion industries.

Carla Woidt is a leading fashion consultant with 15 years’ experience across all facets of the fashion industry including product development, design, product processes, supply chain assessment and strategy, business process refinement, sustainable product practice proposal and integration, sourcing, wholesale, textile design and innovation.

Since her appointment, Nanollose has leveraged Ms Woidt’s in-depth knowledge of internal operations in the fashion industry, to assist the Company with its strategy of commercialisation and implementation, with Ms Woidt aiding the Company in shortlisting and advancing

discussions with a number of potential customers and partners that have expressed an interest in obtaining material from Nanollose.

Appointment of Research Scientist

In July 2021, Nanollose appointed a Research Scientist to further explore opportunities for the application of MC to other materials, including vegan leathers, which are gaining significant traction in the market.

Vegan and synthetic leathers present a significant opportunity for the Company, with research indicating that the market for vegan leather will grow at a CGAR of 49.9% from 2019 – 2025, to be worth US$89.6 billion by 2025.[2]

The commercialisation of Nanollose’s nullarbor™ TreeFree lyocell remains the Company’s first priority.

Appointment of Operations & Quality Manager

In July 2021, the Company appointed Boon Tan as Operations & Quality Manger with the expectation of future operations requiring key technical and managerial staff, as the scale and complexity of Nanollose’s operations increase.

Mr Tan is responsible for the procurement and processing of MC from the Company’s partners in China and Indonesia, and its delivery to Birla Cellulose for fibre production. With a strong managerial and technical background coupled with multilingual skills, Nanollose is confident that Mr Tan will contribute value in managing the supply chain from China and Indonesia and assisting in streamlining the Company’s operations.

Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Research Hub

In July 2021, Nanollose was part of a consortium of companies and academics which successfully applied for funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC) to establish an Industrial Transformational Research Hub for Functional and Sustainable Fibres.

The Hub, which will be located at, and administered by, Deakin University, will receive $5m in funding from the ARC over five years. It will provide the Company with access to world-leading materials science and fibre & textile expertise, with leveraged research and development funding, and the opportunity to initiate projects and develop valuable Intellectual Property in the fibre and textile sector from raw materials through

to fibre processing, textile treatments and end-of-life handling, with a focus on shifting the industry towards a more sustainable future.

Corporate

Capital Raising Initiatives

In October 2020, the Company raised $660,000 (before costs) by the issue of 12,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at an issue price of $0.055 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors. Net proceeds from the placement were used by the Company for the acquisition of its interest in CelluAir, and for working capital purposes.

In April and June 2021, the Company raised a total of $2.95m, via a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors at an issue price $0.10 per Share, together with one free attaching option per two new Shares, with an exercise price of $0.15 and an expiry date of three years from the date of issue. The funds raised are being applied to advancing Nanollose’s Tree-Free high tenacity lyocell.

Changes to Management

In November 2020, Alfie Germano resigned from his position as CEO and Managing Director of Nanollose for personal reasons, and departed from the Company in January 2021.

Since his appointment in 2017, Mr Germano was successful in introducing the Company to an extensive network of global fashion brands, with these ongoing relationships forming a strong foundation for a pipeline of commercial opportunities once Nullarbor™ fibre is produced at scale.

Since Mr Germano’s resignation Executive Chairman, Dr Wayne Best, has continued to oversee operations of the Company from both a management and corporate perspective.

Impact of COVID-19 Global Pandemic

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst it has had no direct material financial impact for the Company up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.

commercialisation focus is on progressing its collaboration with Grasim Industries and its Birla Cellulose business unit in India. To date, the Company has been able to advance this collaboration by exchanging materials and technical information including undertaking a first shipment of microbial cellulose to Grasim Industries. However, the spread of the Covid-19 virus in India could delay the movement of goods and people and the ability of Grasim Industries to meet expected timelines.

The Company’s two current supply chain alternatives for purchase of microbial cellulose are located in Indonesia and China. Again, the spread of the Covid-19 virus and any consequent restriction on the movement of goods and people, may delay the development of the Company’s technologies.

The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

While the pandemic has seen paradigm shifts in many industries, it is encouraging to see that it has only strengthened the fashion industry’s commitment to sustainability, with Nanollose’s Tree-Free fibres ideally placed to assist the industry in meeting that commitment.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Other than detailed in the review of operations, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 5 July 2021, the Company issued 14,768,635 free attaching listed options (NC6OA, $0.15, 5 July 2024) to sophisticated investors who participated in a placement, and 7,500,000 NC6OA Options to the lead manager to the placement.

Other than the above, no matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Company’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Company’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Various governments (including the Australian government) have imposed restrictions (including quarantines) on the movement of people and goods as a measure to seek to slow and contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Throughout temporary lockdowns to control the spread of COVID-19, the Company’s operations in Western Australia have continued unaffected. The Company’s key

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Company, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, 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 disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders

Held: represents the number of meetings held during the time the director held office.

performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
transparency

The Board, fulfilling the role of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Company depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Company.

Nanollose Limited Annual Report

Directors’ Report

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:

having value creation and capital growth in advance of economic profit as a core component of plan design;
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of growth in share price and eventually dividends, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and
attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives’ interests by:

rewarding capability and experience;
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and
providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

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 from time to time by the Board fulfilling its role as the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not entitled to vote on the determination of his own remuneration. Given the nature of the Company and the more hands-on role the non-executive directors’ play in the operations of the Company non-executive directors may receive share options or other incentives.

Executive directors’ remuneration

The Company aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

base pay and non-monetary benefits
short-term performance incentives
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed regularly by the Board fulfilling the role of Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on the overall performance of the Company and comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other benefits where it does not create any additional costs to the Company and provides additional value to the executive.

The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program has yet to be finalised. Once adopted it will be designed to align the targets of Company with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments will be granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved.

The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include equity-based payments. Equity securities are awarded to executives with vesting conditions and expiry dates aligned to the Company’s business plans and targets. The details of the current vesting conditions and targets are as follows and further detailed in the section on service agreements found below.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was via a resolution of all shareholders on 5 June 2016, where the shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in Note 16 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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

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

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Company:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The Company has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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, except for, where applicable, certain financial assets and liabilities.

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 Company’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.

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.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Nanollose Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

Interest

Interest income 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.

Other revenue

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

Nanollose Limited Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Company, 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.

Current and non-current classification

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

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company'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 Company'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.

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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Company has applied the simplified approach of measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

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.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line or diminishing balance basis to write off the net cost of each class of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3-5 years diminishing balance Leasehold improvements 4 years stright-line

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

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company 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.

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.

Nanollose Limited Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

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 are measured at 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.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Company receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Company or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Company or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

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.

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.

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.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

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.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Company 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 post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

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

The Company 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.

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 Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the financial statements

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.

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Management has applied a probability estimate to the vesting conditions being met, since the Company was unable to reliably measure the fair value of the services received. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Note 3. Operating segments

Primary Reporting Format – Business Segments

The Company has one geographical location which is Australia. The Company’s sole operations are research and development, and promotion of the Company’s nanocellulose technology from that location.

Identification of reportable operating segments

The operating segment identified is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. The CODM reviews EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The information reported to the CODM is on at least a quarterly basis.

Unrecognised deferred tax balances

The Company does not currently recognise any deferred tax asset arising from its tax losses. The Directors estimate that the potential deferred tax assets at 26% (2020: 27.5%) not brought to account attributable to tax losses carried forward at reporting date is approximately $1,090,779 (2020: $906,067).

The losses have not been brought to account because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of those deferred tax assets as being probable. The benefit of these deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:

(1) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the temporary differences to be realised;
(2) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
(3) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the temporary differences.

Note 23. Financial Instruments

The Company’s activities are being funded by equity and are not exposed to significant financial risks. There are no speculative or financial derivative instruments. The Company holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liability (current and non-current) Borrowings	2021 $ 3,006,597 33,018 3,039,615 445,166 11,405 - 456,571	2020 $ 839,161 67,372

		147,161 37,829 20,295
		205,285

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Company’s operations.

It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Company’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial operations are credit risk, capital risk and liquidity risk. The Directors’ review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

(a) Credit risk

Management does not actively manage credit risk as the Company has no significant exposure to credit risk from external parties at year end as there are no trade receivables.

(b) Capital risk

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

(c) Liquidity risk

Maturity profile of financial instruments

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to cash assets and floating interest rates. The Company does not have significant interest-bearing assets and is not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.

The Company does not have financial instruments with maturity exceeding 12 months (2020: $11,405).

Sensitivity analysis – interest rates

The sensitivity effect of possible interest rate movements has not been disclosed as they are not material.

(d) Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

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

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter	How our audit addressed this matter
*Share-based payments* Refer to Note 13 to the financial statements
During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company issued 3,900,000 options to a director and external suppliers and 4,000,000 performance rights to directors. The Company has accounted for these arrangements in accordance with AASB 2_Share-Based Payments_. We consider this to be a key audit matter because of:  The judgmental nature of inputs into the valuation models, including the appropriate valuation methodology to apply; and  The variety of conditions associated with each instrument.	Our audit procedures included:  Reviewing the terms and conditions of the instruments issued;  Reviewing the valuation methodology to ensure it is appropriate;  Evaluating the key assumptions used, considering the grant date share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility, the dividend yield, the vesting period and the number of instruments vested;  Recalculating the value of the share-based payment expense to be recognised; and  Reviewing the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
