PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2018
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The preliminary final report has been prepared in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.3A and the disclosure requirements of ASX Appendix 4E.
This preliminary report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
a) Basis of Measurement and Reporting Conventions Including Capital Re-organisation
The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless stated otherwise.
On 13 June 2018, ParaZero Limited ('PRZ') completed a transaction with the shareholders of ParaZero Ltd ('ParaZero Israel') to acquire 100% of the share capital of ParaZero Israel in exchange for 51,580,391 shares. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination as PRZ was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the listing process and to acquire ParaZero Israel by way of an equity swap. The shareholders of ParaZero Israel received the same proportion of equity instruments in PRZ.
Consequently, this financial report presents:
- the results of ParaZero Israel for the period from 1 January 2018 to 13 June 2018
- the results of the consolidated Group for the period from 13 June 2018 to 31 December 2018; and
- the consolidated Group's financial position as at 31 December 2018.
The comparative financial information included in the Company's financial statements is that of ParaZero Israel, not the Company. However, the capital structure of the legal acquirer, the Company is adopted in the financial report.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with the accounting policies adopted in ParaZero Israel's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
b) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Estimates and judgements
Capital Reorganisation
The acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of ParaZero Israel by the Company, by way of issuing the shareholders of ParaZero Israel Ltd fully paid shares in the Company, has been determined by management to be a capital reorganisation as the transaction does not meet the definition of a business. Capital reorganisation transactions are a complex accounting area because there are no specific applicable accounting standards to these types of transactions. In the absence of specific guidance, management has used the guidance in AASB 108 'Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors (para 10) whereby management have used its judgment in developing and applying a relevant and reliable accounting policy using pre-combination book values to account for this transaction as no substantive economic change has occurred. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Share based payments
The Group initially 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. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.
The probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions of performance options is assessed at each reporting period.
The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 5.

(c) Capital Management
Due to the nature of the Group's activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group's capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate overheads. The Group's strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.

| Expected vesting period | n/a | 1 year | 2 years | 3 years |
The Broker Options vest immediately, and thus the whole amount is recorded as a share-based payment. As the options were granted for services rendered in respect of the IPO, the amount is treated as a capital raising cost, and capitalised against the share capital raised. Due to the specialised nature of the services rendered, management do not consider it possible to determine their value, and thus the cost recorded is the fair value of the options granted.
The Class A performance options have a solely non-market performance condition, and therefore, the charge recognised reflects the management's current expectation of the total vesting period. Management have assessed the likelihood of achieving the non-market performance milestone Class A as 80% at 31 December 2018. In the period to 31 December 2018, the charge recognised in respect of these options was US$793,308.
The Class B and C performance options contain both a market and a non-market performance condition. Management have assessed the likelihood of achieving the non-market performance milestone Class B and C as 50% at 31 December 2018 with an estimated date of achievement of the vesting milestone on 13 June 2020 for Class B and 13 June 2021 for Class C. As a result, a charge is recognised over the vesting periods of each of Class B and Class C. This was equal to US$483,607 in the period to 31 December 2018.
