HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

==> picture [36 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES

The financial year ended 30 June 2021 represented a transformational period resulting in several organisational changes including the search for the Company’s new CEO, Herbert Koeck. Herbert Koeck replaced Interim CEO, Norbert Schulz effective 1 July 2021.

For the last 5 years Mr Koeck has been a member of the executive management team of 3D-Systems Corporation, a global, leading 3D-printing solution supplier. As Executive Vice President of Global-Go-ToMarket he was accountable for the sales and global orders of the group which included influencing product development to ensure customer success. Prior to this, he was Senior Vice President for Europe and India. Before joining 3D-Systems, Mr Koeck was managing Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Hewlett Packard and Senior Vice President for the PC and Printing Solution Group.

Mr Jeffrey Lang has assumed the role of Chief Technology Officer of the Company in addition to maintaining his role as Executive Director of the Board.

The Board was further strengthened by the appointment, as a Non-Executive Director, of Ms. Mira Ricardel. Ms. Ricardel, who is resident in the USA, is a principal at The Chertoff Group, a leading global security advisory firm, where she advises U.S. and international clients across a broad spectrum of sectors in managing regulatory risk related to foreign direct investments, technology controls and supply chain regulations.

Titomic also welcomed Max Osborne as our new Head of Engineering in June. Over the past 14 years, Max has enjoyed various roles with Boeing in Australia and Seattle with a track record of leading high performance engineering teams and executing complex and high impact projects.

STRATEGIC REVIEW AND KEY INITIATIVES

This year enabled the new board of Directors to reset the strategic direction of Titomic Ltd. Following a comprehensive review of the company’s strategy (with support from Deloitte’s Additive Manufacturing team), Titomic has adopted a new approach to market centred on Partnerships and Joint Ventures with customers.

Partnerships and Joint Ventures enable customers to avoid the challenges of adopting Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing technology by embedding – on a risk sharing and reward basis – the technical skills and resources of Titomic within their existing production processes.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD

TITOMIC AND NEOS TO MANUFACTURE FACEPLATES IN THE UK

The response from customers to this new approach has been very positive with the formerly announced Heads of Agreement signed with Neos International (formerly Hockley Patterns) for Invar 36 tooling. The company is currently working on moving this Heads of Agreement into a joint venture contract and expects these to be completed in the next few weeks.

The NEOS Titomic joint venture will enhance the rapid delivery of Invar and Nickel Shell Tooling and related products to the aerospace and other key sectors, further accelerating the next generation of advanced fibre composite technologies, critical to produce light weight fuel efficient aircraft and supporting the UK’s nascent Space Industry.

==> picture [26 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

ACQUISITION OF TRI-D DYNAMICS TO ESTABLISH TITOMIC USA

The further development of Partnerships & Joint Ventures will require Titomic to establish sales offices and technical bureaus in both North America and Europe. To this end, during Q3 the Company entered a Heads of Agreement with Tri-D Dynamics Inc., a US cold spray additive manufacturing company, to acquire its business operations and engage its key personnel within a new entity, Titomic USA. This transaction was successfully completed on the 9th of July, 2021.

TKF MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS AND MELBOURNE BUREAU

The Company has experienced considerable delays in its forecasted commercial sales of TKF systems due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on its customers. Our previous forecast estimates of TKF Systems sales to customers have been delayed with the Company now anticipated to achieve sales orders with the revenue to now be recognised in the future.

Despite Victoria’s COVID-19 operational restrictions, the Company has remained operational at the TKF Melbourne Bureau, successfully completing and delivering OEM prototyping projects to international clients in the Aerospace, Defence and Tooling sectors.

MELBOURNE TKF BUREAU PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS

UK DEFENCE COMPANY: TOOLING REPAIR

Parts supplied in Q2 performed according to specification, opening the opportunity for large scale aerospace tooling operations in the United Kingdom and providing core volumes for the NEOS Titomic Joint Venture.

US AEROSPACE

Stage 3 of large satellite successfully completed and delivered to schedule for US Defence prime, highlighting the ability for CSAM to provide novel technical solutions in the challenging space sector. This Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) capability will now be explored to provide growth opportunities in the civil and defence sectors.

US DEFENCE COMPANY

Successful manufacture and delivery of large Inconel 718 part for testing and evaluation. This Inconel 718 component is of a size and weight previously considered unfeasible for CSAM. The opportunities for Inconel 718 in applications, where high strength is required at elevated temperatures, are clearly identifiable across Aerospace and Defence, providing Titomic with a unique technical and commercial advantage.

US AEROSPACE COMPANY

Ongoing trials and development for novel tooling solutions. Aerospace tooling has been identified as a growth market, as Carbon Fibre applications in Civil and Defence Aerospace markets continues to grow at a rapid pace. Titomic is using its technology to not only provide today’s solutions but is working closely with large aerospace companies to explore solutions that offer the possibility of higher production rates with novel tooling solutions.

DEFENCE COMPANY

Ongoing trials and development for weapon system components and barrels. CSAM offers advantages in thermal management, weight and performance in this industry and the ongoing development work continues to progress at a positive rate with a clearly articulated commercial outcome.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD

ARMOURED VEHICLE INDUSTRY

Successful build and validation of a Titomic titanium panel that met STANAG 4569 Level 3 Threat Protection. Titomic have now successfully demonstrated feasibility of the unique Titanium feedstock to provide the necessary ballistic protection required by the Defence industry. There is still a long journey ahead to expand the product offering around the challenging and diverse ballistic requirements in these sectors, but this first step is a major leap forward for CSAM ballistic protection.

AUSTRALIAN NAVY: TITANIUM SHIP DOOR

Titomic completed and delivered a TKF additive manufactured complete Titanium ship door, including handle.

AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY: STAINLESS STEEL TEST PARTS

Titomic completed and delivered ten TKF additive manufactured Stainless Steel trial samples for a large Australian mining company. These parts are being evaluated for metallurgical properties.

AUSTRALIAN RAIL COMPANY: GEARBOX REPAIR

Titomic has completed a proof-of-concept study including both a detailed report and sprayed part for a large Australian rail company. The TKF process demonstrated its ability to repair a damaged gearbox.

BEST PRACTICES AND QUALITY SYSTEMS

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM (ERP)

An ERP has been implemented to align with best practices in international industries, which enables the Company to monitor and control our business processes in real time.

CYBER SECURITY: SUCCESSFUL CERTIFICATIONS OF ISO27001 INFORMATION SECURITY AND CYBER

The Company received a grant from the Australian Government’s Centre for Defence Industry Capability to provide Titomic Limited an incentive of $98k to implement world-class cyber security practices and a cyber security management plan. The successful certification of ISO27001 further heightens our ability to operate within the international defence and aerospace sectors.

ISO:9001: SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF SURVEILLANCE AUDIT OF ISO9001 QUALITY ASSURANCE

==> picture [7 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

Titomic Limited has completed its surveillance audit for ISO9001, a quality management system based on several quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and responsibilities of top management, process approach and continual improvement.

AS9100D: COMMENCEMENT OF AS9100D FOR AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE QUALITY MANUFACTURING

In addition to ISO:9001, the Company determined the requirement to validate our business practices, for collaboration within the global Aerospace and Defence sectors and was successful in attaining this accreditation in July 2021.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

IMCRC: $2.6M RESEARCH PROJECT FOR TKF MANUFACTURED TITANIUM COMPLEX STRUCTURES

Titomic’s joint IMCRC research project conducted alongside RMIT and CSIRO, has been completed. The research project outcome has provided further validation of Titomic Kinetic Fusion as a transformational industrial scale additive manufacturing technology for manufactured titanium complex structures. Considerable new Intellectual Property was generated in this Government co-funded R&D project that is exclusive for Titomic to commercialise for Aerospace and Defence applications.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Titomic Limited is an Australian public listed Company specialising in technology solutions for industrial scale metal additive manufacturing using its unique patented Titomic Kinetic Fusion® technology with its principal activities in defence, aerospace, mining, energy and transport industries.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

On 11th March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared an ongoing global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, known as ‘coronavirus disease 2019’ (‘COVID-19’) as a pandemic.

The Company continues to experience the impact of COVID-19 with both customers and suppliers being disrupted due to lockdowns locally and the continued impact on certain industries across the globe.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the during the financial year

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Company continues to experience the impact of COVID-19 which has prohibited widespread international travel with the capacity to visit overseas customers (either current or future potential customers). Whilst various sales meetings could take place virtually, this is not as effective as visiting customer premises to further explore opportunities to upscale production of certain products or accelerate with the sale of TKF machines.

Despite these challenges, the Company continues to progress with and target new joint venture arrangements in support of the new strategy.

Titomic and Composite Technology are working together to review the current agreements to put in place amended arrangements for the benefit of both parties that are more relevant in the current circumstances. Developing the demonstrator parts for certification has proved to be more complex than originally anticipated and therefore has delayed the sale of the two TKF Systems to Composite Technology. The timing of such sale is now unknown and remains

10

DIRECTORS REPORT

uncertain at this point in time. To this effect, the directors have determined it appropriate to impair the contract asset of $2.025m attached to Composite Technology which was expected to be realised at the point of TKF machines being sold to Composite Technologies Pty Ltd. This effectively represents the expensing of the first tranche of options that were granted to Composite Technology for an equivalent amount of $2.025m in February 2020. Commercial negotiations with Composite Technology are ongoing at the date of signing this report.

Titomic granted options to Evans & Partners Corporate Advisory Pty Limited (“E&P”), on 25 February 2020, in two tranches of 500,000 options each. Tranche 1 options were issued to E&P on 25 February 2020, with an expiry date of 25 August 2021. Tranche 2 (500,000 unlisted options) were approved at the Annual General Meeting of the Company in January 2021, exercisable at $0.88 per option, are due to expire on 28 July 2022.

The main functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are to assist the Board with a view to establishing a Board of effective composition, size, diversity, experience, and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties, and assist the Board with a view to discharging its responsibilities to Shareholders and other stakeholders to seek to ensure that the Company:

REMUNERATION REPORT

(c) ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee ensures that Non-Executive Directors are appropriately remunerated having regard to their relevant experience, individual performance, the performance of the Company, industry standards and the general pay environment as appropriate.

The remuneration elements for Independent Non-Executive Directors include cash remuneration (that is, base compensation and superannuation contributions) and performance share rights.

The performance share rights granted to Non-Executive Directors vest progressively over time and are subject to the employment continuance and achievement of performance hurdles, which mainly involve the Company achieving a particular share price over a specified tenure.

The remuneration elements for Executive Directors include cash remuneration (that is, base compensation and superannuation contributions), performance share rights. Executive Directors are also entitled to annual leave and long service leave, if applicable.

The Directors’ fees do not include a commission on, or a percentage of, profits or income.

(d) LINK BETWEEN REMUNERATION AND PERFORMANCE

Remuneration is dependent on satisfaction of performance conditions:

A portion of the Executive Remuneration is based on attainment of performance conditions. Performance-based remuneration includes short-term cash bonuses and a long-term incentive plan (performance shares and performance share rights).

The Non-Executive remuneration policy is based on attainment of performance conditions. Performance-based remuneration includes a long-term incentive plan (performance shares and performance share rights).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. This includes current accounting policies and significant accounting policies relevant to the Company for the near future. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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

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

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.

The financial report covers Titomic Limited - a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Building 3 270 Ferntree Gully Road Notting Hill Victoria 3168 Australia. The Company is a for-profit Company for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors as at the date of the directors’ report.

COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

The financial statements of the Company also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

For financial reporting purposes, ‘fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable:

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Account Policies (Continued)

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Company incurred a loss from ordinary activities of $17,175,346 during the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $10,826,806 loss) and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $9,037,379 (2020: $7,911,403). At that date, the Company had a net asset position of $9,441,553 (2020: $25,574,441).

The Company has prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Company is dependent on raising additional capital to meets its expected level of cash outflows over the next 12 months.

In determining that the basis for preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate, the Directors have reviewed the Company’s current financial performance, future operating plans (including cashflow forecasts), customer pipeline opportunities, financial position, and existing cash resources available.

The Company has appointed Evans and Partners as advisors and lead brokers to support an upcoming capital raise. This capital raise is expected to be finalised in the near term. The Directors expect that the capital raise would be met through a proven track record of strong market support from existing shareholders and institutional investors. The funding is intended to provide working capital and to enable the Company to take advantage of opportunities to expand the Company’s capabilities both domestically and internationally.

On the basis of raising additional capital in the near term, the Directors expect that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of this Annual Report, which contemplates continuity of the Company’s normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to trade as forecast or to secure sufficient funding to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis of accounting is found to no longer be appropriate, the recoverable amount of the assets shown in the Statement of Financial Position are likely to be significantly less than the amounts disclosed, and the extent of liabilities may differ significantly from those reflected.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is measured at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company derives revenue from:

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

Prototyping Services

OEM Manufacturing

  • TKF Systems and Spare Sales

  • Metal Powders Sales

The following specific revenue criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

  • (i) SALE OF GOODS AND MANUFACTURING

Revenue from the sale of goods (e.g., systems and spare parts, metal powders, OEM manufacturing) is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.

Specifically, in the case of the sale of TKF Systems, this will be when the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the contract, which will mainly be the delivery and commissioning of the TKF Systems. Subject to the terms of the sale agreement, there will be a provision for warranties deducted.

31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(ii) SERVICE INCOME

Revenue from the rendering of services (e.g., prototyping) is recognised over time, as the services are provided to the customer, based on costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs.

(iii) INTEREST

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) GRANT AND R&D INCENTIVE

The Company may undertake research and development activities under competitive grants and be part-funded by other incentive programs (for example: R&D tax incentives). There is no certainty that grants or incentive programs will continue to be available to the Company, and changes in government policy may reduce their applicability. R&D tax incentives are recorded as revenue when the Company has determined that it has a valid claim.

(v) RECEIVABLES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

A receivable from a contract with a customer represents the company’s unconditional right to consideration arising from the transfer of goods or services to the customer (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables from contracts with customers are measured at amortised cost and are tested for impairment.

All revenue is measured net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. See note 10 for further information about the Company’s accounting for trade receivables.

INVENTORIES

Inventories including finished goods and inventory in transit are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis and include direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenses.

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

All property, plant and equipment, including capital work in progress (WIP) are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. For capital WIP, depreciation commences upon the asset becoming operational. For all other assets, depreciation commences upon the date of purchase.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

32

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation to allocate the cost or revalued amounts of the asset, net of the residual values, over the estimated useful life of the asset or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

Building Fitouts 10 - 20 years
Factory Equipment 3-10 years
Furniture and Fittings 3 - 5 years
Prototype Machinery 3 - 5 years
Other Property, Plant and Equipment 1 - 3 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. The estimated useful lives of Machinery relating to TKF Machinery was reassessed at the reporting date increasing from 3 years to 5 years, also taking into account a residual value for the machines after the fifth year.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Titomic Limited’s core technology is called Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) and is based on an automated Cold Spray robotic technology process. Titanium powder is sprayed at supersonic speed (up to two times the speed of sound) onto a scaffold surface, resulting in the powder particles plastically deforming at the edges and on impact bonds at a particle level with the surrounding particles.

The TKF process can produce complex shapes such as oval, tear-drop, conical tubes, allowing manufacturers to produce shapes and styles not possible with traditional titanium manufacturing methods

  • (i) LICENCES

Licences are recognised at cost and are amortised over their estimated useful lives, generally being a maximum 20 years or expiration of underlying patent. Licences are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation less any impairment losses.

Licenses are tested for impairment if indicators of potential impairment are present as set out in note 15.1.

  • (ii) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as and when an expense is incurred.

Development costs are capitalised when the Company can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility of completing the asset allowing it to be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the asset and use or sell it; the ability to use or sell the asset; how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits for the Company; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development to use or sell the asset; and the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development. Capitalised development expenditures are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation less any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using a straight-line amortisation method to allocate the cost of the intangible asset over its estimated remaining useful life. Amortisation commences when the intangible asset is available for use.

Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense when they are incurred

RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

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

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

The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.

33

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

LEASE LIABILITIES

Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of remaining lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases.

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when incurred.

LEASES OF 12-MONTHS OR LESS AND LEASES OF LOW VALUE ASSETS

Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for which a lease asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortisation and are therefore tested annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset might be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Impairment losses in respect of individual assets are recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with the applicable Standard.

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

INCOME TAX

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

(I) SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and any other employee benefits (other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables in the statement of financial position.

(II) OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The provision for other long-term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs.

Other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(III) RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Defined contribution superannuation plan

The Company makes superannuation contributions (currently 9.5% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the employee’s defined contribution superannuation plan of choice in respect of employee services rendered during the year.

These superannuation contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period when the related employee services are received. The Company’s obligation with respect to employee’s defined contributions entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period.

All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(IV) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share-based compensation benefits may be provided through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the Employee Share and Option Plan. Options may also be granted to employees and consultants in accordance with the terms of their respective employment and consultancy agreements. Any options granted to employees are made in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Employee Share and Option Plan (ESOP).

The fair value of options granted under employment and consultancy agreements are recognised as share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of the options are measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees or consultants become unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value of the options at grant date is determined using either a Black-Scholes option pricing model or a Monte Carlo method pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, 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.

The fair value of any equity granted may include the impact of market (for example, share price target) and non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). These vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of securities that are expected to be issued or become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity assesses, and when necessary, revises the estimated number of securities that are expected to be issued or become exercisable. The expense recognised each period considers the most recent estimate. The impact

35

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

of any revision to original estimates is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to contributed equity.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(I) CLASSIFICATION

Financial assets recognised by the Company are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, subject to their classification and whether the Company irrevocably designates the financial asset on initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) in accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9.

Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss (FVtPL), are subsequently measured at fair value.

All other financial liabilities recognised by the Company are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(II) INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade and other receivables arise from the Company’s transactions with its customers and are normally settled within 30 days.

Consistent with both the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(III) IMPAIRMENT

The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model:

(a) debt instruments measured at amortised cost;

(b) debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

(c) receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets.

The Company applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses for both receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets. Under the AASB 9 simplified approach, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses for receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets on the basis of the lifetime expected credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that are expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset.

The Company determines expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected economic conditions relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period.

The Company has identified contractual payments more than 90 days past due as default events for the purpose of measuring expected credit losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(I) FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(II) TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the rate of exchange determined at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the foreign currency spot rate at the end of the financial year.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (‘GST’) AND OTHER SIMILAR TAXES

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company has applied the relief available under ASIC Corporations (rounding in Financial / Directors’ reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly, the amounts in the financial statements and in the directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

COMPARATIVES

Where necessary, the comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF INVENTORIES

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT HIERARCHY

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying values as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the financial statements.

ESTIMATION OF USEFUL LIVES OF ASSETS

The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL

The Company assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist in relation to the continued use of the asset by the Company. Impairment triggers include declining product or manufacturing performance, technology changes, adverse changes in the economic or political environment and future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (CGU) is based on value in use calculations. These calculations are based on projected cash flows approved by management covering a minimum period of 1 year (maximum of five years). Management’s determination of cash flow projections and gross margins are based on past performance and its expectation for the future. The present value of future cash flows has been calculated using cash flows from the current Five Year Plan that has been approved by the Board for years FY22 to FY26, adjusted to remove the impact of new business units, together with a Terminal growth rate of 3% for cash flows after year five and a discount rate which uses a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 17.30% to determine value-in-use.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. Financial instruments as at 30 June 2021 are set out below:

30 June 2021 30 June 2020

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued)

(b) RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Board is responsible for overseeing the establishment and implementation of the risk management system, and reviews and assesses the effectiveness of the Company’s implementation of that system on a regular basis.

The Board and Senior Management identify the general areas of risk and assess the potential impact of any of these risks on the activities of the Company, with Management performing a regular review of:

  • the major risks that may or do occur within the business;

  • the degree of risk involved;

  • the current approach of managing or mitigating the risk; and

  • if appropriate, determine:

  • any inadequacies of the current approach; and

  • possible new approaches that more efficiently and effectively address the risk.

Management report risks identified to the Board through regular reporting.

The Company seeks to ensure that its exposure to undue risk which may impact its financial performance, continued growth, and viability is minimised in a cost-effective manner.

(c) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The main risks the Company is exposed to through its operations are interest rate risk, credit risk, currency and liquidity risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate risks via the cash and cash equivalents that it holds. Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objective of managing interest rate risk is to minimise the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates that might impact its interest revenue, interest expense and cash flow.

Interest rate risk is considered when placing funds on term deposits. The Company considers the reduced interest rate received by retaining cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s operating account compared to placing funds into a term deposit. This consideration also takes into account the costs associated with breaking a term deposit early should access to the cash and cash equivalents held in any term deposits be required prior to their maturity date.

There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk or the manner in which it manages and measures its risk in the year ended 30 June 2021.

The following table outlines the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk in relation to future cash flows and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities:

($) ($)
+/– 100 Basis Points Change in Interest Rates
Impact on Loss After Tax for the Period 79,462 174,581

The choice of 100 basis point change in interest rates was determined having regard to the level of prevailing interest rates in Australia during 2020 and 2021. The impact on loss after tax and equity is greater in 2020 due to the greater cash balances held by the Company.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk via its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Credit risk is the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. To reduce risk exposure for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, it places them with high credit quality financial institutions, and performs background credit checks on counterparties where appropriate.

The Company holds the view that it does not have significant credit risk at this time in respect of its receivables.

Trade receivables consisted of a small number of transaction with multiple counterparties in the year ended 30 June 2021. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed on the financial condition of each account receivable.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets net of any allowance for credit losses as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the Financial Statements.

CURRENCY RISK

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company from time to time may be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to overseas amounts receivable from customers, or payable to suppliers denominated in foreign currencies.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk via trade and other payables.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet the commitments associated with its financial instruments. Responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board who manage liquidity risk by monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to them by the Company’s Management to ensure that the Company continues to be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Contracts are not entered into unless the Board believes that there are sufficient cash flows to fund the additional activity. The Board considers whether the Company needs to raise additional funding from the equity markets when reviewing its undiscounted cash flow forecasts.

REMAINING CONTRACTUAL MATURITIES

(i) MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

* CONTRACT ASSET

Titomic and Composite Technology are working together to review the current contractual agreements to put in place amended arrangements for the benefit of both parties that are more relevant in the current circumstances. Developing the demonstrator parts for certification has proven to be more complex than originally anticipated and therefore has delayed the sale of the two TKF Systems to Composite Technology. The timing of such sale is now unknown and remains uncertain at this point in time. To this effect, the directors have determined it appropriate to impair the contract asset of $2.025m attached to Composite Technology which was expected to be realised at the point of TKF machines being sold to Composite Technologies Pty Ltd.

The Company has three core pieces of Intellectual Property (IP) around it’s Titomic Limited Kinetic Fusion (TKF) Cold Spray robotic technology manufacturing process. TKF is the process of spraying metal powders at supersonic speed (up to two times the speed of sound) onto a scaffold surface, resulting in the powder particles plastically deforming at the edges and, on impact, bonding at a particle level with the surrounding particles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. Intangible Assets (Continued)

As set out above the Company has minimum annual payment obligations to the CSIRO in respect of the Company’s licensed technology, which the Company believes it has met but is waiting for confirmation from CSIRO that this is the case. During the year the Company received grant monies from the IMCRC which were also subsequently passed to the CSIRO. According to Clause 4.6 (b) of the agreement with CSIRO, it is CSIRO’s responsibility to advise Titomic after the cessation of the Research Term (30 June 2021) that Titomic has not met its obligations. At the date of this report, the Company has not received any correspondence from CSIRO to suggest that these obligations have not been met.

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company has impaired intangible asset in full, since the circumstances indicate impairment; and the carrying amount exceeded its value in use. Refer to Note 15.1 for details on impairment.

Notwithstanding the recognition of impairment losses, the agreements with the CSIRO remain in force and the Company continues to benefit from the licensed technology in line with existing contracts.

15.1 IMPAIRMENT LOSSES RECOGNISED

Determining whether intangible assets and other non-current assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value-inuse of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which these assets have been allocated. The value-in-use calculation requires management to estimate the future cashflows expected to arise from the CGU and a post tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in order to calculate present value.

The Company considered the relationship between its market capitalisation and the book value of its equity, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. As at 30 June 2021, the market capitalisation of the Company was above its book value; however, there were other internal indicators of impairment.

As a result, management performed an impairment test as at 30 June 2021 for the CGU. The impairment test was based on a value in use methodology in accordance with AASB 136: Impairment of Assets. Given the uncertainty attached to future cashflows, an impairment loss has been recognised for those intangible and other non-current assets that had a value in use or fair value less cost to sell below its carrying amount in accordance with the accounting standard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TITOMIC LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Titomic Limited “the Company”, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration.

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

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (b) 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 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 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 Relating to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 “Going Concern” in the financial report, which indicates that the Company incurred an operating loss after tax of ($17,175,366) during the year ended 30 June 2021, and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $9,037,379. At that date the Company had a net asset position of $9,441,553.

The Company has prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Company is dependent on raising additional capital to meet its expected level of cash outflows over the next 12 months. As described in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TITOMIC LIMITED

Key Audit Matters

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

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue and other income - $1,984,951 Refer to Note 5

The Company has recognised revenue from contracts with customers of $515,091 during the year ended 30 June 2021. The Company also recognised income of $1,196,023 for a research and development tax incentive.

We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to:

  • Revenue from contracts with customers is an increased focus for the Company, and therefore the existence and accurate recognition of revenue in line with contract terms, and the Management judgement in determining whether the underlying performance obligations have been fulfilled, is a key audit matter.

  • The significance of the balance recorded for the research and development (R&D) tax incentive revenue, claim eligibility and complexity of calculations.

Our testing of revenue transactions arising from contracts with customers focused on evidencing that the underlying transactions occurred in the period and the revenue is recognised in accordance with AASB 15 and accurately calculated.

Our testing on other income focused on the existence and accuracy of the R&D tax incentive claim recognised.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Testing a sample of the Company’s customer contracts and the terms and conditions of sale, and the fulfilment of the underlying performance obligations;

  • Understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of the Company’s controls and processes for recognising and accurate recording of revenue transactions;

  • Performing tests of detail to confirm the existence of revenue by agreeing a sample of revenue transactions to supporting documentation;

  • Assessing whether the revenue recognition was in accordance with the requirements of AASB15;

  • Analysis of general journals impacting revenue to identify transactions considered to be outside the ordinary course of business and testing thereof;

  • Obtaining Management’s external expert report which covered the R&D tax incentive

  • Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

Carrying value of Intangibles and other non-current assets

Refer to Notes 13, 14 and 15

Our testing of the carrying value of Intangibles and other non-current assets focused on whether there were any indicators of impairment of those assets and then testing Management’s Value in use, and Fair value less cost to sell calculations, ensuring these were prepared in accordance with AASB 136 and AASB13.

Property, plant and equipment totalling $3,337,004 (before impairment) as disclosed in Note 13, Right of use assets totalling $239,366 (before impairment) as disclosed in Note 14, and Intangible assets totalling $2,670,230 (before impairment) as disclosed in Note 15, represent significant balances recorded in the statement of financial position.

Management identified indicators of potential impairment and have undertaken assessments of recoverable amount for each of these assets by determining both, an appropriate value in use, and fair value less cost to sell. As a result of this impairment assessment, management have written down Property, plant & equipment by $832,325, Right of use assets by $239,366 and Intangible assets by $2,670,230.

Our procedures included amongst others:

Other Information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

TITOMIC LIMITED ABN 77 602 793 644

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TITOMIC LIMITED

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TITOMIC LIMITED

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
