DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors present their Interim Financial Report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group') consisting of RemSense Technologies Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'RemSense") and the entity it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2022.
DIRECTORS
The following persons were directors of RemSense during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
| Steve Brown | Managing Director |
|---|---|
| Chris Sutherland | Non-executive Chairman |
| Ross Taylor | Non-executive Director |
| Nicole O'Connor | Non-executive Director (resigned 13 February 2023due to her employer policy requirements) |
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the six months totalled $990,473 (31 December 2021: $2,054,067), a decrease of 52% over the prior six month period, impacted by reduced engineering work, as the Company focused its efforts on the further development of its virtualplant technology. However, due to a change in the service mix away from engineering sales and towards scanning services and the provision of SaaS contracts, the gross margin on sales has improved from 31% for the six months to 31 December 2021 to 59% in this period.
The net loss for the period was $1,546,226 (31 December 2021: $946,540), largely as a result of the fall in revenue. However, overheads did increase in the period, particularly personnel costs which included share-based payments of $259,270 as a result of the issue of share options.
The closing cash position of $594,804 (31 December 2021: $3,712,782) was impacted by overdue receipts of $358,601, which were fully collected in January 2023.
Virtualplant Foundations Built and Strengthened
- RemSense is continuing the roadmap of integrating virtualplant into IBM's Maximo Applications Suite (MAS). This capability offers efficiency improvements for multiple asset management activities, enabling rapid localisation of plant assets from the MAS Manage application into our visually accurate virtualplant environment. Additionally, users can monitor MAS IoT data of plant assets directly within the photorealistic environment of virtualplant, providing unprecedented contextual relevance to remote asset monitoring and predictive maintenance activities. This capability was first demonstrated to industry by IBM at the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition in Perth on Oct 12, 2022.
- RemSense received confirmation from the Commissioner of Patents that Innovation Patent 2020104485 has been granted. This innovation patent covers virtualplant's core features and is titled "An asset visualisation system".
- Remsense joined the Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA) and is currently working on a number of initiatives utilising virtualplant for the status and monitoring of oil and gas facilities promising cost savings and occupational health and safety benefits from reducing the need to physically visit site to inspect assets and facilities when planning decommissioning activities.
Asset Management System Integration Strategy On Track
- In early 2022, RemSense realised that through partnering and integrating with global industrial asset management and analytics system providers such as IBM, the opportunities for virtualplant digital twin solution were exponentially larger than anticipated.
- RemSense revised its business strategy and;
- o redirected resources to develop as a fully certified enterprise grade solution with analytics capabilities as identified by targeted partners and clients.
- o refreshed its marketing strategy to give greater focus on strategic partnerships with leading global asset management solution providers.
- o developed new features to extend the product further than originally planned in this time period.
- o reorganised and restructured the business to simplify the business model to focus on virtualplant and associated data capture and services.
- This work is substantially complete with a streamlined organisation and RemSense is seeing the opportunities and prospects grow in line with expectations. Opportunities and prospects are further detailed in the Opportunity Update below.
- The refreshed marketing strategy is client focused. In parallel, RemSense has increased its investor news with regular newsletters, webinars and presentations.
- Virtualplant is generating traction with asset management software providers and end users as it allows users to think and operate naturally.

New Virtualplant Contracts Awarded and Executed
- Whilst focusing on virtualplant development and integration RemSense executed the following virtualplant projects during the December quarter.
- o Following the successful virtualplant scanning of the Wheatstone platform, RemSense undertook virtualplant scanning of Gorgon LNG Train 2 for a contract value of approximately $500,000.
- o Global industrial technology company Oceaneering contracted RemSense to provide data capture and asset visualisation through the virtualplant platform to support the plant life extension for the Triangle Energy Cliff Head platform.
- o Remsense concluded a pilot program, alongside Programmed, with virtualplant scanning key water and power infrastructure on Rottnest Island WA, and integration into Programmed's existing IBM MAS asset management system. This is now being evaluated by Programmed for wider application across Programmed managed asset business.
- o RemSense completed a virtualplant photogrammic digital twin of the Pyrenees FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel), a former BHP asset, for a contract value of $206,000 which includes operational data capture and a SaaS agreement for an initial one (1) year contract. This project was completed ahead of schedule in early January 2023.
Opportunity Update
RemSense has been actively marketing to Australian resource sector companies through 2022 whilst also focusing on the revised strategy. Sales of enterprise software systems like virtualplant V2.0 typically occupy a 12-to-18-month sales cycle to Tier 1 clients.
RemSense is now seeing the benefit of this with the new awards in the December quarter and is in final stages of project negotiation with Tier 1 clients valued in excess of $2m for work in calendar years 2023 and 2024 with ongoing SaaS opportunities. Additionally, RemSense is providing proposals for certain overseas assets of our existing customers.
RemSense is presently pursuing 77 qualified Australian based opportunities ($16m in value) in various stages of development and a number of pilot programs are active or being proposed to local WA based industrial companies.
Through establishing global partnerships with the major asset management software providers (including IBM and SAP) that will enable virtualplant to be sold and used globally through their existing networks and customer relationships RemSense is building out an international presence.
A structured approach is being employed with a planned rollout with IBM as follows:
- Agreements signed.
- Strategy agreed.
- Pilot programmes underway.
- Jan March 2023 complete pilot programs and integrations, build marketing stories.
- March June 2023 sales enablement through global network.
As previously outlined, the total market size (5-year value) with the IBM industrial asset management customers alone is an estimated $4 Billion, hence, to capture even just a small share will be material for RemSense.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Half-year ended 31 December 2022
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial statements cover RemSense Technologies Limited ("the Company") as a Group consisting of RemSense Technologies Limited and the entity it controlled ("the Group") at the end of, or during the half-year. The financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is RemSense Technologies Limited's functional and presentation currency.
RemSense Technologies Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated, and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is Suite 173, 580 Hay Street, Perth, WA, 6000.
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.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 27 February 2023.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
This interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2022 is a condensed general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the annual financial report.
The interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
It is also recommended that the interim financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by RemSense Technologies Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2022 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the ASX Listing Rules.
2.2 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.
At 31 December 2022, the Group had net assets of $2,134,365 (30 June 2022 $2,475,206), a working capital surplus of $1,014,256 (30 June 2022: $1,772,013) and cash at bank of $594,804 (30 June 2022: $2,140,174). For the six months ended 31 December 2022, the Group recorded a loss of $1,546,226 (2021: $946,540) and cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,351,981 (2021: $1,097,548).
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group'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.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Given the recent traction being gained in selling virtualplant, the Directors are satisfied the Group is a going concern as they expect virtualplant to derive significant future revenues and positive cash flows for the Company. The Directors are also confident that they can raise funds as and when required.
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.
2.3 Accounting policies
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.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
There were no new Accounting Standards and Interpretations relevant to the Group during the reporting period.
2.4 Segment information
For management purposes, the Company is organised into one operating segment, being technology development, digital engineering solutions and its virtualplant photogrammic Digital Twin software product, and services a range of markets and applications in Western Australia. All the Group's activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Maker) 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 contained in note 2.3 to the accounts.
For the period ended 31 December 2022, revenues of approximately $392,483 and $316,212 were derived from two external customers (period to 31 December 2021: $1,647,906 and $206,085). These revenues are attributed to the provision of scanning services, software sales and engineering services."

13 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued)
Share-based payment programme
The Company has adopted an Employee Share Option Scheme ("ESOS"). Under the ESOS, once issued, 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.
Options
On 31 December 2022, a summary of the Group options issued and not exercised under the share-based payment programme are as follows. Options are settled by the physical delivery of shares:

Key valuation assumptions made at valuation date under the Black & Scholes option pricing model are summarised below:
During the reporting period, no options expired. However, 250,000 tranche 3 options were cancelled on termination of the employment of the holder of those options.
Also, during the period, on 20 July 2022, the acquisition of the virtualplant IP was funded though the conversion of certain A options held by current and past directors of the Company. The conversion of A options triggers the issue of an equivalent number of B options. Overall, 1,609,881 A options were converted, of which 1,080,000 were owned by KMPs. Only 1,020,000 of the B option holders are still KMPs of the Company.
At the reporting date, there are a total of 19,603,622 options on issue in RemSense Technologies Limited (13,940,000 options relating to Directors and KMPs), exercisable between 25 and 40 cents per share, and expiring between 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of RemSense Technologies Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of RemSense Technologies Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, 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 halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual 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 the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2.2 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 conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
