OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
RemSense experienced a year marked by significant advancements in our virtualplant technology, successful project deliveries, and strategic restructuring aimed at driving future growth.
As detailed hereafter, whilst revenue decreased compared to the prior year, the Group’s ability to improve gross margin, reduce net loss, and enhance operational efficiencies, including lower staff hours and turnover, reflects our commitment to building a resilient and sustainable business and look forward to continuing this progress in the coming year.
RemSense has a robust sales pipeline with opportunities across various sectors, including oil and gas, mining, utilities, and now extending into construction and facility management. The Group’s strategy to leverage existing client relationships while expanding into new markets and sectors is expected to drive continued growth.
Throughout the financial year ending 30 June 2024, RemSense continued to strengthen its position in the oil and gas and mining sectors. The company delivered major projects, including the virtualplant technology for Newmont’s Boddington Gold Mine, Chevron’s LNG projects in Australia’s northwest, as well as Woodside Energy’s Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. These projects involved both terrestrial and dronebased reality capture, providing high-resolution 3D models and detailed inspections that enhance operational safety and efficiency. RemSense also expanded its service offerings, delivering drone-based water sampling for mining companies including BHP.
Technological innovation was a key focus for RemSense, with continuous development and enhancement of its virtualplant platform. The platform saw significant upgrades, including an enhanced user interface, improved data security, and advanced AI capabilities for asset management. These features were integrated with Enterprise Asset Management systems like SAP and IBM Maximo, making virtualplant a leading solution in asset visualisation and auditing. The integration of IoT capabilities and drone imagery further positioned the platform as a comprehensive tool for real-time operational insights and detailed asset management.
RemSense has introduced a revised virtualplant Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription model to provide customers with flexible, modular licensing options that highlight the value of its powerful add-on features. These include the flagship AI-powered Asset Audit module (vTag), IoT integration module (vConnect), maintenance planning module (vPlanner), and the beta release of the automated defect and corrosion detection module (vDetect). Each add-on is available for an additional subscription and implementation fee, giving customers the flexibility to choose the features that best suit their needs.
RemSense launched virtualplant Air, a new product that integrates high-resolution aerial photogrammetry captured by drones, complementing virtualplant’s terrestrial imagery. This innovation provides virtualplant users with a comprehensive “inside and outside” first-person view of their facility. The 3D high-resolution aerial imagery in virtualplant Air helps companies reduce or even eliminate certain high-risk activities, such as staff working at heights on platforms, scaffolding, or ropes to inspect elevated structures and equipment. Leveraging RemSense’s in-house RPAS expertise and aircraft, virtualplant Air is offered through a service fee for image capture, processing, and modelling, along with an annual SaaS subscription.
The company also pursued strategic partnerships to expand its market reach, particularly in North America and Southeast Asia. Negotiations with international partners (Malaysia, US) were aimed at reselling and deploying virtualplant across these regions, reflecting RemSense’s global growth strategy.

RemSense Technologies Limited
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
RemSense focused on securing capital to support its operations and growth initiatives. The company raised funds through placements and entitlement offers, while also securing an R&D rebate. These efforts were complemented by a restructuring of the leadership team, including the appointment of a new CEO with extensive industry experience and changes to the board of directors. These leadership changes were instrumental in driving new sales initiatives and expanding the company’s business development capabilities.
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND CONDITION
During the financial year ending 30 June 2024, the Group experienced a decrease in revenue compared to the prior year. Despite this decline, the Group successfully improved its gross margin and reduced its overall loss, reflecting the effectives of cost management strategies and operational improvements.
Revenue for the year was $1,663,375, down 20.22% from $2,084,835 in the prior year. The reduction in revenue is primarily attributed to the Group’s decision to focus its efforts on the further development and marketing of its virtualplant technology, scanning services and provision for virtualplant subscription contracts, rather than nonvirtualplant related engineering projects.
Despite the reduction in revenue, the Group achieved a gross margin of 63.96%, an improvement from 54.12% in the prior year. This improvement in gross margin can be attributed to cost control measures and improved operational efficiencies.
The Group’s net loss of $2,306,165, is a 23.99% reduction from the loss of $3,033,883 in the prior year. This reduction is the result of improved gross margins and strategic reductions in operating expenses, including more efficient use of staff hours.
Over the course of the latter part of the financial year, management addressed staffing levels, leading to a reduction in personnel outlays, whilst maintaining productivity and quality solutions for customers. Additionally, the new leadership team ensured the retention of key staff member resources that has contributed to improved efficient and a consistently productive operational technology enhancing environment.
The Group has a working capital deficit of $298,072 (2023: surplus of $161,895) and had net cash outflows of $464,002 (2023: net cash outflow of $1,350,522).
The Company remains acutely aware of the current economic climate and continues to assess costs incurred to ensure appropriate allocation of resources.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS
The Leadership Group has targeted on revitalising its business development capability which has resulted in a growing sales pipeline with opportunities across oil and gas, mining, and the utilities sectors. The improvements in gross margin, reduced loss, enhanced operational efficiency, and new customer responsive solutions, position us well for future growth and ultimately profitability.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS (continued)
Strategic Service Delivery Partnerships
RemSense will continue to develop strategic partnerships to expand its global market reach. This will enable RemSense to scale its service delivery on demand. RemSense has partnered with service organisations who are similarly equipped and certified to deliver RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) services and can also be skilled up in terrestrial scanning by RemSense to operate high-resolution 3D 360[o] cameras.
In Australia, businesses must have remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate (ReOC) to trade as a drone service provider and pilots must have a remote pilot licence (RePL). This is strictly regulated by Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Since similar regulatory aviation authorities in most other jurisdictions, RemSense RPAS pilots are not licensed to operate and hence the requirement to partner with certified businesses. Our service partners will enable RemSense to offer virtualplant Air in other regions outside of Australia.
Strategic Technology Partnerships
RemSense has designed virtualplant as a versatile and powerful visualisation platform, built to integrate leadingedge technologies for data insights and visualisation. RemSense are continuously seeking technology partners with complementary and innovative solutions to enhance virtualplant, delivering an ever-evolving user experience and greater commercial value. As an enterprise-level platform, virtualplant seamlessly integrates with corporate systems, providing access to both static and real-time operational data in an intuitive, immersive environment. RemSense's strategic goal is to expand our network of technology partners, ensuring virtualplant offers comprehensive, centralised insights to its users.
In summary, RemSense’s achievements in project delivery, technology development, and strategic growth initiatives are driven by customer risk mitigation solutions, that set the stage for a strong and successful future. The company is well-positioned to capitalise on the emerging opportunities and expand its global footprint in the coming year.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES
On 7 September 2023, Warren Cook was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as a key part the Group’s strategic plan to sustain growth and leadership.
To ensure a smooth transition, our former longstanding Managing Director, Steve Brown, transitioned to a NonExecutive Director position until his retirement on 14 December 2023. Mr Brown had been the Managing Director since the inception of the Company and made an enormous contribution to the Company during his tenure.
On 21 February 2024, Non-Executive Chair Chris Sutherland and Non-Executive Director Sue Murphy resigned from the Board.
At the same time Ross Taylor, formerly Non-Executive Director, assumed the role of Non-Executive Chair of the Company, and John Clegg and Richard Pace, joined the Board as Non-Executive Directors.
On 10 May 2024, Jillian Rosich resigned as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
On 13 June 2024, Richard Pace resigned as Non-Executive Director, and Warren Cook joined the Board as Executive Managing Director.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (continued)
Key Personnel

Competition
Risk of intense compe��on from established players or emerging start-ups may erode market share and put pressure on margins. We are con�nuously innova�ng and focusing on unique value proposi�ons and maintaining strong customer rela�onships to differen�ate the Group from compe�tors.

AUDIT AND 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 25 to the financial statements. The amount paid or payable to the auditor for nonaudit services is $32,452 (2022: $27,500).
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 25 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
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 (including Independence Standards) 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.

RemSense Technologies Limited
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 2024. 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 Nomination and People Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors. 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 payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and People Committee. The Nomination and People 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.

Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2024
RemSense Technologies Limited
Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration (continued)
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.
Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company which is inclusive of sub-committee memberships:
-
Non-Executive Directors $45,000 p.a. exclusive of statutory superannuation
-
Chairman $45,000 p.a. exclusive of statutory superannuation
To preserve cash and strengthen the Group’s financial position, the Board of Directors resolved to cancel all director fees effective 1 September 2023. This suspension would remain in place until the Group’s financial position improved to a level where the resumption of director fees is deemed appropriate. The Board remains committed to taking necessary steps to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the Group.
At a board meeting held on 2 July 2024, it was resolved to recommence paying director fees from 1 September 2024, as follows:
-
Non-Executive Directors $40,000 p.a. exclusive of statutory superannuation
-
Chairman $55,000 p.a. exclusive of statutory superannuation
Non-executive directors do not receive cash performance related compensation.
Executive Director and Senior 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 Nomination and People Committee. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Nomination and People Committee has access to external, independent advice where necessary.
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.

Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2024
RemSense Technologies Limited
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 does not award any STIs.
Long-term incentive scheme
The long-term incentives (“LTIs”) include long-service leave and share-based payments. Share rights and options are awarded to executives based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholder’s value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to similar companies.
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. Refer to note 21.
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 in its development phase, 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 2024
RemSense Technologies Limited
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2024
1 MATERIAL 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.
1.1 NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The Group has adopted all the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. No change to accounting policies was required.
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2024. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
1.2 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”).
The amounts contained in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest $1 (unless otherwise stated) pursuant to the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 2016/191. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, 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, certain classes of property, plant, and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
1.3 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of RemSense Technologies Limited (“Company” or “parent entity”) as of 30 June 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. RemSense Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Group’.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report
RemSense Technologies Limited
For the year ended 30 June 2024
1.3 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (continued)
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired, is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
1.4 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 noncurrent.
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 settle 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.
1.5 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2024, the Group recorded a loss of $2,306,165 and had net cash outflows from operating activities and investing activities of $1,356,087 and $581,142, respectively. As of 30 June 2024, the Group had net assets of $991,745, a working capital deficit of $298,072 and total cash on hand of $325,650.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report
RemSense Technologies Limited
For the year ended 30 June 2024
1.5 GOING CONCERN (continued)
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, after considering the following factors:
-
Successful R&D grant claim
-
Access to the capital markets to raise additional funds
-
Access to other funding opportunities such as borrowings from related parties
-
The ability of the Directors and management to continue managing its cashflows and cash reserves to successfully execute its contracted projects and win new work whilst operating withing the Group’s budget
-
Reduce or defer discretionary expenditure and / or new projects, to manage cashflow
Accordingly, the Directors believe the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
Should the Group be unsuccessful in achieving the matters set out above, a material uncertainty would exist that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.
2 MATERIAL 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. Refer to note 4.
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 20.
Page | 36
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024
RemSense Technologies Limited
2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
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. Refer to note 6.
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 8.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.

RemSense Technologies Limited
3 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.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one operating segment, being technology development, RPAS services and its virtualplant Visual Twin software product, and services a range of markets and applications. All the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the CODM as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from the segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those adopted in the financial statements.
During the year ending 30 June 2024, revenue totalling $749,770 and $607,290 were derived from two of the Group’s customers (2023: $1,109,920 and $641,491). These revenues are attributed to the provision of VP scanning services and subscriptions.
There have been no changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement basis for segment profit or loss since 30 June 2023.
4 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 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 services promised.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on an hourly rate. For fixed priced jobs revenue is recognised at a point in time when the service is transferred to the customer. In the case of scanning work, this is the point at which the images are made available to the customer.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024
RemSense Technologies Limited
4 REVENUE (continued)
Accounting Policy
Methods for measuring progress towards satisfaction of a performance obligation
Output methods recognise revenue based on direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. Output methods include methods such as surveys of performance completed to date, appraisals of results achieved, milestones reached and time elapsed. When an entity evaluates whether to apply an output method to measure its progress, the entity shall consider whether the output selected would faithfully depict the entity’s performance towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Input methods recognise revenue based on the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation (for example, resources consumed, labour hours expended, costs incurred) relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.
The input method is most appropriate for recognising revenue on the Group’s Engineering projects where invoices are issued at month-end based on hours worked and costs incurred until the job is complete.
The output method is most appropriate for recognising revenue on the Group’s remotely piloted aircraft system contracts. Revenue is booked when the asset, in this case the scanned images, are delivered to the customer.
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.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation for the Group to transfer goods and services to the customer but where the Group has already received consideration from the customer. Revenue is recognised over the period it is earned. Contract liabilities are treated as financial liabilities for impairment purposes.
(a) The Group’s disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is as follows:

5 GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Accounting Policy
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with the terms and conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to the purchase of intangible assets are included in non-current liabilities as contract liabilities and credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |||
| R&D tax incentive | 174,917 | 80,380 |
During the financial year, the Group received a research and development (R&D) grant amounting to $247,007 (2023: $218,014). This grant income has been recognised as deferred income in the statement of financial position and is being amortised in line with the associated intangible assets, in accordance with AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. On 30 June 2024, the portion of R&D tax incentive relating to capitalised expenditure is:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
| $ | $ | |||
| Contract liabilities | ||||
| R&D tax incentive – deferred income | 209,726 | 137,635 |
This treatment aligns the recognition of grant income with the economic benefits derived from the associated intangible assets.
The grant income was partially offset by a loan of $198,080 provided by Radium Capital. Refer to note 17 for full details of the loan.

6 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 liability for annual and long service leave, not expected to settle 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.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

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 to account 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.

8 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 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.
RemSense Technologies Limited (“the head entity”) and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
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.

10 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 30 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.

Provision for expected credit losses
The Group has not recognised a provision for expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2024 as credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Payment of invoices takes on average 30 days (2023: 38 days).
There were no trade receivable impairment losses for the year ending 30 June 2024 (2023: Nil).

12 OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS
Accounting Policy
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part, or all, of a financial asset, the carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increase significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, as 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired, or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measure on the probably weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset’s carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

13 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, | 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 | |
| Furniture and office equipment | 5 – 10 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.

14 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Accounting Policy
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangibles assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Software development
Costs that are directly associated with the development of software are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:
-
It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use
-
• Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it • There is an ability to use or sell the software product • It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits • Adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available and
-
• The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Software is amortised over the period of its expected finite life, being five years.
Other development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as assets in a subsequent period. Research costs, and costs associated with maintenance, are recognised as an expense when incurred.

15 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.

16 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.

18 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.

20 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 BlackScholes 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.

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 Company eligible employees 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.

Subject to remaining in tenure as a director of the Company:
-
1,000,000 to vest on 07-Sep-24; and
-
1,000,000 to vest on 07-Sep-25
Each performance right represents a right to have issued one fully paid ordinary share at the end of the performance period. No exercise price will be payable and the applicable performance hurdles must be met to be eligible to receive the shares.
On 24 August 2023, Warren Cook received 2,000,000 performance rights as part of his contract of employment. 1,000,000 will convert to fully paid ordinary shares on 7 September 2024 with the balance converted on 7 September 2025 subject to being in tenure on these dates. The fair value of the expense is based on the share price on grant date (4.9 cents), expensed over vesting period.

Accounting Policy
==> picture [506 x 565] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
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
All financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For subsequent measurement, financial assets are amortised at cost
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.
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.

21 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Accounting Policy (continued)
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade, and other payables.
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 initially measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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.
Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group 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 2023.
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.
None of the Group’s entities are 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.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates is immaterial. 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 $1,982.
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 2024 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 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.

21 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Credit risk management (continued)
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 10, 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 longterm 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, excluding liabilities associated with discontinued operations.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Group’s expected contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities.
These have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Group can be required to repay.
The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

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:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Transfers
There have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended 30 June 2024.
Not measured at fair value
The Group has various financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position.
The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of current receivables, current payables and current borrowings are a reasonable approximation to their fair values.
The methods and valuation techniques used for the purposes of measuring fair values are unchanged compared to the previous reporting period.
22 SUBSIDIARIES
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities, and results of the following wholly owned subsidiary in accordance with the accounting policy described in note 1.4:

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 2024, 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 material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement 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 2024 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 1.5 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.
BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Revenue Recognition
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Group has several material revenue streams in the form of engineering services, scanning jobs and Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts. The revenue streams are material to the financial report. Management focuses on revenue as the key driver by which the performance of the Group is measured. Refer to Note 4 in the financial report for disclosures relating to the Group’s revenue accounting policy and judgements applied in revenue recognition. The core principle of AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for those services. In our view, revenue recognition is material to our audit due to the significance of revenue to the financial report and the complex nature of accounting for the appropriate timing of revenue related to the individual revenue streams. |
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: • Assessing the appropriateness of management’s revenue recognition policy, ensuring that the policy is in accordance with the five step model adopted by the relevant Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 15; • Understanding and documenting the process and controls used by the group in recording revenue; • Checking a sample of revenue transactions to evaluate whether they were appropriately recorded as revenue ensuring the amounts recorded agrees to supporting evidence; • Testing a sample of outstanding customer contracts at year end and agreeing to supporting records to ensure that contract assets and contract liabilities have been recognised in accordance with the accounting standard and the Group’s accounting policy; • Performing cut-off procedures to ensure that all revenue was captured in the appropriate financial year; and • Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in note 4 of the financial report. |

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
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.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
-
a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
i) the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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.
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.
