AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT
This report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors of RemSense Technologies Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021. There were no other key management personnel during the year. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for the Directors who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, whether executive or otherwise.
Remuneration philosophy
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results achieved. 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
-
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
-
transparency
The People and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its executive directors, non-executive directors, and other key executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its key management personnel. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interest. The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:
-
rewarding capability and experience
-
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
-
providing a clear structure for earning rewards
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors’ fees and payment are reviewed annually by the People and Remuneration Committee. The People and Remuneration Committee 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 present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
ASX Listing Rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination is in the Company’s Constitution, where shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000.

RemSense Technologies Limited
Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
Remuneration structure (continued)
Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration (continued)
Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Group which is inclusive of statutory superannuation and membership of sub-committees:
-
Chairman $30,000 p.a. including superannuation
-
Non-Executive Directors $15,000 p.a. including superannuation
In addition to their base fees, non-executive directors may also receive payment for strategic advisory services at $750 per day, plus any reimbursable expenses.
Prior to the incorporation of RemSense Technologies Limited, and up to 27 June 2021, these fees were paid by RemSense Pty Ltd.
Until listing of the Company on the ASX, non-executive directors will continue to be remunerated under the terms and conditions of their RPL agreements. From the date of official listing, the non-executive Chairman fees will be $100,000 p.a. and non-executive director fees will be $75,000 p.a. All fees will be exclusive of superannuation.
On 22 April 2021, Nicole O’Connor was appointed to the Board earning $50,000 p.a. plus superannuation. On 30 June 2021, the directors resolved that non-executive directors’ fee would reduce to $37,500 p.a. plus superannuation with effect from 1 July 2021 until the official listing of the Company on the ASX.
Non-executive Directors each received 250,000 options, vesting on 30 June 2023, exercisable at 30 cents on or before 30 June 2024.
Executive Remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
There are three components to the executive remuneration and reward framework:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
share-based payments
-
other remuneration such as superannuation and long-service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation, and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the People and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.
Short-term incentive scheme
The short-term incentives (“STI”) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of key management. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (“KPIs”) being achieved. At this stage, the Group has not awarded any STIs.

RemSense Technologies Limited
Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
Remuneration structure (continued)
Long-term incentive scheme
The long-term incentives (“LTIs”) include long-service leave and share-based payments. Share options are awarded to executives over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholder’s value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the Group’s direct competitors. The People and Remuneration Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives for executives during the year ended 30 June 2021.
The Group has adopted an Employee Incentive Option Plan (Plan). Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to Group eligible employees and consultants to attract, motivate and retain key employees over a period of three years up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s total issued ordinary shares at the date of the grant. Director options are granted at the discretion of the Board and approved by shareholders. Performance hurdles are not attached to vesting periods however the Board determines appropriate vesting periods to provide rewards over time.
Options granted as compensation
The terms and conditions of each grant of options over ordinary shares affecting remuneration of directors and other key management personnel in this financial year or future reporting years are as follows:
| Vesting | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | Value per | Value of | and first | Exercise | |||

| Nicole O’Connor | 250,000 | 22-Apr-21 | 7.62 | 19,042 | 30-Jun-23 | 30.0 | 30-Jun-24 |
Chris Sutherland, Steve Brown, and Ross Taylor who were instrumental in managing the Company towards IPO were each granted 1,400,000 options in the Company prior to the capital reorganisation on 14 April 2021.
All options were granted over unissued fully paid shares in the Company. Options vest based on the provision of service over the vesting period whereby the executive becomes beneficially entitled to the option on vesting date. Options are exercisable by the holder as from the vesting date. There has not been any alteration to the terms or conditions of the grant since the grant date. There are no amounts paid or payable by the recipient in relation to the granting of such options other than on their potential exercise.
No options granted as compensation in prior years were exercised, forfeited, lapsed, or cancelled (2020: nil).
Group performance and link to remuneration
The remuneration of the Group’s key management personnel, including any component of remuneration that consists of securities in the Company, is not formally linked to the prior performance of the Group. The rationale for this approach is that the Group is a start-up, and it is currently not appropriate to link remuneration to factors such as profitability or share price.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
RemSense Technologies Limited
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021
SECTION 1 ABOUT THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of RemSense Technologies Limited (the Company) and it’s controlled entity (collectively known as “the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue on 26 August 2021 in accordance with a resolution of the Directors. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
The Company is:
-
a company limited by shares.
-
incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
-
an unlisted public company
-
a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors’ Report, which is not part of the financial statements.
Its registered office is located at Suite 166, 580 Hay Street, Perth, WA, 6000.
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which:
-
has been prepared in accordance, and complies, with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
-
has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
-
is presented in Australian dollars ($).
-
presents reclassified comparative information if required for consistency with the current year’s presentation.
-
adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective from reporting periods beginning on or before 1 July 2020. Refer to note 6.8 for further details.
-
does not early adopt Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective.
Basis of measurement and reporting conventions of capital re-organisation
On 14 April 2021, RemSense Technologies Limited (“REM”) completed a transaction with the shareholders of RemSense Pty Ltd (“RPL”) to acquire 100% of the share capital of RPL in exchange for 50,000,000 shares. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination as REM was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the listing process and to acquire RPL by way of an equity swap. The shareholders of RPL received the same proportion of equity instruments in REM.
Page | 21
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
RemSense Technologies Limited
Basis of measurement and reporting conventions of capital re-organisation (continued)
Consequently, this financial report presents:
-
the results of RemSense Pty Ltd for the period from 1 July 2020 to 13 April 2021
-
the results of the consolidated Group for the period from 14 April 2021 to 30 June 2021, and
-
the consolidated Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021.
The comparative financial information included in the Group’s financial statements is that of RemSense Pty Ltd, not the Company. However, the capital structure of the legal acquirer (REM) is adopted in the financial report.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements of RemSense Pty Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2020.
1.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entity controlled by the Company (its subsidiary) made up to 30 June each year.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
1.2 PARENT ENTITY INFORMATION
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 6.5.
1.3 GOING CONCERN
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. On 30 June 2021, the Group had net assets of $198,147, a working capital surplus of $290,970 and cash at bank of $533,304.
The directors are aware that the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and thereby pay its debts as and when they fall due, is contingent on the Company securing further working capital through capital raisings or longterm loans. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Page | 22
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
RemSense Technologies Limited
1.3 GOING CONCERN (continued)
On 4 June 2021, the Company obtained In-Principal advice from the ASX to proceed with an IPO to raise $5 million (before costs) and listing.
The directors are therefore of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances. Notwithstanding this assessment, there is material uncertainty regarding the outcomes of the future funding alternatives.
Should the Group not be able 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 report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.
1.4 FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The primary economic environment in which the Group operates is Australia. The financial statements are therefore presented in Australian dollars.
1.5 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, 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. 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.
Determination of variable consideration
Judgement is exercised in estimating variable consideration where services have a variable component. Revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
RemSense Technologies Limited
1.5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with the attached conditions. In respect of COVID related government grants receiving during the year, the Group was deemed to be eligible to receive the grants under the conditions attached to the grants and have complied with the relevant conditions in order to recognised them as income during the year.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group 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. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in note 6.1.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Refer note 2.6.
Employee benefits provision
The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been accounted for.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of business development and the geographic regions in which the Group operates particularly the trials for the Virtual Reality Plant. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Capital Reorganisation
The acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of RemSense Pty Ltd by the Company, by way of issuing the shareholders of RemSense Pty Ltd fully paid shares in the Company, has been determined by management to be a capital reorganisation as the transaction does not meet the definition of a business. Capital reorganisation transactions are a complex accounting area because there are no specific applicable accounting standards to these types of transactions. In the absence of specific guidance, management has used the guidance in AASB 108 ‘ Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors (para. 10) whereby management have used its judgement in developing and applying a relevant and reliable accounting policy using pre-combination book values to account for this transaction as no substantive economic change has occurred. Refer to note 1.7 for additional information.

RemSense Technologies Limited
1.6 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 Group’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 date, 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 date. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it is either expected to be settled in the Group’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 date, or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

1.7 COMMON CONTROL ENTITY
Accounting Policy
Predecessor accounting
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for using the predecessor accounting method. Under this method:
-
carrying values are not restated in the accounts of the acquiring entity, rather prior book values are maintained. As a result, no fair value adjustments are recorded on acquisition; and
-
the carrying value of net assets acquired or liabilities assumed is recorded as a separate element of equity on consolidation.
Summary of Acquisition
On 19 March 2021, RemSense Technologies Limited was incorporated as a vehicle for listing RemSense Pty Ltd on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
On 14 April 2021, the Company completed a transaction with the shareholders of RemSense Pty Ltd under common control to acquire 100% of the share capital in RemSense Pty Ltd in exchange for 50,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company.

SECTION 2 RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group, with disclosures including segment information, components of the operating loss, income tax, and loss per share.
2.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS
Accounting Policy
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, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of RemSense Technologies Limited.
The Group is organised into one operating segment, being technology development and systems engineering services across a range of markets and applications in Western Australia. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the CODM) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
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 a quarterly basis.
There have been no changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement basis for the segment profit or loss since 30 June 2020.
2.2 REVENUE
Accounting Policy
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.

2.2 REVENUE (continued)
Accounting Policy (continued)
Contract assets
Contract assets are recognised when the Group has transferred goods and services to the customer but where the Group is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration. Contract assets are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes.
The Group’s disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is as follows:
| Timing of revenue recognition Rendering of services transferred over time Rendering of services transferred at a point in time Contract assets Accrued income |
2021 2020 $ $ |
|---|---|
| 3,768,315 1,780,679 543,349 390,871 |
|
| 4,311,664 2,171,550 |
|
| - 78,300 |
2.3 GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Accounting Policy
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with the terms and conditions.
All other income is recognised when the amount can be reliably measured and control of the right to receive the income be passed to the Group.

2.4 FINANCE COSTS
Accounting Policy
Interest income
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.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs, including interest expense, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

2.5 PERSONNEL EXPENSES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Accounting Policy
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual 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.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for annual and long service leave not expected to settle within 12 months of the reporting date is 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.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months
The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on prior experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.
The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken within the next 12 months:

2.6 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Accounting Policy
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 as 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 probably 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 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.

2.6 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)
Accounting Policy (continued)
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of, 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 taxation authority.

2.7 LOSS PER SHARE
Accounting Policy
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) attributable to the owners of RemSense 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 year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share accounting for 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.

SECTION 3 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUPPORTING OPERATIONS
This section focuses on the assets and liabilities which form the core of the ongoing business as well as capital and other commitments existing at the year end.
3.1 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Accounting Policy
Plant and equipment are 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 diminishing balance basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant, and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Plant and equipment | 2 – 5 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile equipment and motor vehicles | 8 years | |
| Communication and computer equipment | 2 – 6 years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. 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 earnings / accumulated losses.

3.2 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
Accounting Policy
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 when 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 Group 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 Group 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.

Additions to the right-of-use assets during the year were $59,340.
The Group leases land and buildings for its offices and aerial imaging operations, under agreements of between three and five years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.

4.2 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Accounting Policy
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to 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.
| Current Trade receivables Other receivables |
2021 2020 $ $ |
|---|---|
| 514,475 192,723 12,000 15,750 |
|
| 526,475 208,473 |
Provision for expected credit losses
The Group has not recognised a provision for expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2021 as credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Payment of invoices takes on average 30 days (2020: 24 days).
There were no trade receivable impairment losses for the year ending 30 June 2021 (2020: $nil).
The ageing of trade receivables is as follows:
| Not overdue 0 to 3 months overdue |
2021 2020 $ $ |
|---|---|
| 513,430 190,608 1,045 2,115 |

4.3 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Accounting Policy
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group 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.

5.3 LEASE LIABILITIES
Accounting Policy
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 Group’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 to 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, or
-
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.
Incremental borrowing rate (IBR)
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security, and economic environment. The Group uses and IBR of between 4.40% and 8.50%.

SECTION 6 OTHER DISCLOSURES
The disclosures in this section focus on share schemes in operation and financial risk management of the Group. Other mandatory disclosures, such as details of related party transactions, can also be found here.
6.1 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Accounting Policy
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 the Black-Scholes option pricing model that considers 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 Group 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 inequity 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 vet 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 the 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 that market condition has been met or not, 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 Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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.

| Options issued to directors | 8,439 | - |
Share-based payment programme
The Company has adopted an Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”). Under the ESOS, the Company may grant options and rights to Group eligible employees and consultants to acquire securities to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s total issued ordinary shares at the date of the grant. The fair value of share options granted is measured using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
The options and rights vest on a time scale as specified in the ESOS and are granted for no consideration. Options and rights granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is converted into one ordinary share. The maximum term of an option is five years from grant date and the exercise price is settled in cash.
Options will not be transferable and will not be listed on the ASX unless the offer provides otherwise or the Board in its absolute discretion approves.

6.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting Policy
Recognition and derecognition Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
-
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
The classification is determined by both:
-
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Subsequent remeasurement of financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):
-
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows,
-
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2021
RemSense Technologies Limited
6.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Accounting Policy (continued)
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139.
Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced AASB 139’s ‘incurred loss model’.
Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead, the Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
-
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Level 1’); and
-
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Level 2’).
-
‘Level 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
’12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category whilst ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. The Group does not have any material expected credit losses.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators, and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designation at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

RemSense Technologies Limited
6.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2020.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax and general administrative outgoings.
Financial risk management objectives
The Group is exposed to market risk (including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed on a continuous basis to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group does not trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates.
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner it manages and measures the risk from the previous period.
Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the balance date.
At balance date, if interest rates had been 100 points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit or loss would increase / (decrease) by $2,500.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the year mainly due to the reduction in variable rate debt instruments.

RemSense Technologies Limited
6.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties, confirming references, and setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognise 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 the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The expected credit loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months before 30 June 2021 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period.
The loss allowance on all financial assets is measured by considering the probability of default. Receivables are considered to be in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before considering any credit enhancements held by the Group.
The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information has adopted a lifetime expected credit loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through a matrix using overdue days. This provision is considered representative across all customers based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. As disclosed in note 4.2, no provision for expected credit loss has been made.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than one year.
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy.
The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of RemSense Technologies Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of RemSense Technologies Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with 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 (including Independence Standards) (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.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.3 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.
