ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2 – Re-election of Mr Brenton Scott as a Director
Clause 11.4 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. The Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since their last election. A retiring Director is eligible for reelection.
Accordingly, Mr Brenton Scott retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
6
Information about Mr Scott is set out in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The directors (other than Mr Scott because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION 3: Election of Director- Mr David Marshall
Clause 11.2 of the Company’s Constitution permits the Directors to appoint additional directors. However, any director so appointed holds office until the next Annual General Meeting and is then required to seek Shareholder approval to continue as a director.
Mr Marshall was appointed to the Board on 1 March 2012. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the appointment of Mr Marshall as a director of the Company.
Details of Mr Marshall’s qualifications and experience are included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The directors (other than Mr Marshall because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION 4: Election of Director- Sir Tim McClement
Clause 11.2 of the Company’s Constitution permits the Directors to appoint additional directors. However, any director so appointed holds office until the next Annual General Meeting and is then required to seek Shareholder approval to continue as a director.
Sir Tim McClement was appointed to the Board on 17 August 2012. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the appointment of Sir Tim McClement as a director of the Company.
Details of Sir Tim McClement’s qualifications and experience are included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The directors (other than Sir Tim McClement because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION 5: Grant of Options to Sir Tim McClement
On 9 August 2012 the Board of the Company resolved, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to issue and allot 2,000,000 Options (Director Options) to Sir Tim McClement (Related Party) on the terms and conditions set out below.
7
For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
. (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
. (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
In addition, Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The grant of the Director Options to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit, and, as a Director, Sir Tim McClement is a Related Party of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Party.
Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to, and in accordance with, the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:
-
. (a) the Related Party is Sir Tim McClement and he is a Related Party by virtue of being a Director;
-
. (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Party is 2,000,000 Director Options;
-
. (c) the Related Party will be issued with the following Director Options:
-
.
-
(i) 2,000,000 Options exercisable at 2.7 cents each by 1 September 2015.
-
. The option vest if the share price equals or exceeds 10 cents per share at any time on a 5 day VWAP basis.
The Director Options will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions outlined in Appendix 1.
- . (d) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;
8
-
. (e) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
. (f) the value of the Director Options is $ 41,400 and the pricing methodology is set out in Appendix 2;
-
. (g) Sir Tim McClement holds no securities in the Company.
-
. (h) the Related Party receive remuneration of £36,000 per annum, effective from 1 September 2012 Other than as set out in this Explanatory Statement, the Related Party has not received any other emoluments from the Company;
-
. (i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 2,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 296,704,872 to 298,704,872(assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the share holding of existing shareholders would be diluted by 0.66%. The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time, any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;
-
. (j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out below:
Price Date . Highest 9.3 cents 8 December 2011 . Lowest 2.1 cents 19 July 2012 - Last 3.6 cents 15 October 2012
(k) the primary purpose of the issue of the Director Options to Sir Tim McClement is to provide market linked incentive to Sir Tim McClement in his role as non executive director.
(l) Sir Tim McClement declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the following reasons:
-
. (i) the issue of Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and
-
. (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed.
The Board (other than Sir Tim McClement) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Party as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Party will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

ORDINARY RESOLUTION 6 - Appointment of Auditor
Following a review process by the audit committee, it has been decided by the board to seek the appointment of Walker Wayland as auditors. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, the appointment of Walker Wayland will be effective for the 2012/2013 financial year. If appointed as auditors, arrangements are in place between the Company, Ernst and Young and Walker Wayland to enable a smooth transition between audit firms.
Ernst and Young has tendered its resignation as auditor to the Company and it has advised the Company that it has applied to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) for consent to resign. The Companies expectation is that the consent of ASIC will be forthcoming prior to the date of the AGM.
In accordance with subsection 328B(1) of the Corporations Act 2001, notice in writing nominating as auditor has been given to the Company by a shareholder. A copy of this notice is shown in Appendix 3 to this explanatory memorandum.
Representatives from Ernst and Young and Walker Wayland will be available at the AGM to respond to any shareholder questions.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends the appointment of Walker Wayland as auditors of the Company.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The last year has been a transformational year for the Mobilarm group of companies (“the Group”). We welcomed a new Chairman David Marshall and a new non-executive Director, Sir Tim McClement. We expanded from a product research and development focus to include an aggressive sales and marketing strategy. We underwent a major restructuring process that included product, place and personel. This combined with our new leadership, geographical and sales focus saw us deliver an unprecedented profit for the second half of the year.
The Group grew our sales in all markets this year, including significant growth in the acquired Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd (“MRT”). The integration of the two businesses helped expand sales for both in each other’s geographies. Our sales grew 481% over the last year to $5.5 million and our sales pipeline continues to grow significantly.
The latest RTCM standard will allow us to make a stronger push into the North American market with our upcoming new V100 product. We are also focused on delivering the next generation of Sea Marshall AU9 products in calendar 2012, to keep our portfolio of products at the forefront of technology and customer requirements.
During the year we have been recognised as an expert partner to provide safety in critical environments, such as the military, wind farms, Oil and Gas Platforms, Christmas Island and even the Mariana Trench.
Offshore Oil & Gas and Wind farms
The offshore Oil & Gas industry continues to be a key market for the Group. The recent directive by the Department of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria (DPR/SE/7206/Vol.1/3) promises to provide a significant opportunity with the roll out of the V100 underway. The expansion of our product portfolio will allow us to better serve this market through additional solutions, be it intrinsically safe beacons or tracking systems. New standards will allow us to expand our sales presence in these markets globally.
We have enjoyed high success in the wind farm industry. The rapid growth of the wind farm market in Europe sees the requirement for solutions to safeguard the personnel in the construction and maintenance of the offshore turbines. We have a customised solution for this industry to meet its needs. We are market leaders in this high growth segment and expect to remain the dominant provider.
Commercial Marine
We continue to sell into this market, especially fishing which continues to recognise its very hazardous environment. Safety is important in this tight margin market, so we need to keep our focus to deliver safety to the highest standard in the most cost-effective way to these customers.
Defence
The Group continues its focus in this market through its V200 product for submariners. The Royal Dutch Navy was the first customer to move on this new and exciting product. We continue to work with other Navies to expand its adoption. We are also pushing our upgraded V100 as well as our Sea Marshall products to deliver a complete set of solutions to this market.
Government & Regulatory
We continue to work with government and regulatory agencies around the world to provide the best level of safety. In 2012 we worked with FESA in Western Australia to deploy V100s across all of WA.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Summary
We have achieved exceptional sales growth over the last 12 months even as we streamlined operations. Our focus has been on restructuring and growing the business to a profitable position. The results from the last six months show that we have achieved this goal. We have new products coming to market in the coming year to expand our sales reach globally and continue to work with regulators to drive this.
We would not have achieved these results without the efforts of our staff and management and I commend them on their efforts, particularly during the turbulent change period. The continued support of our shareholders is appreciated, I realise that most of you have stuck with us over many years. I commit my continued best efforts to repay your long suffering loyalty and assure you that the Board, Management and Staff are focused on delivering you a return on your investment.
The Board of Directors is extremely pleased with the results achieved this year and is looking forward to continue the growth and positive results in financial year 2013 and onwards.

Operating Results for the Year
Operations of the Group
The loss of the group after providing for income tax amounted to ($1,474,638) (2011: Loss of $4,234,955), a decrease of 65%. The Group increased sales to $5,473,269 in 2012 as compared to $941,701 in 2011, an increase of 481%. If we included the 2011 full year results from Marine Rescue Technologies Limited, the loss would have decreased 59% from $3,632,920 and sales would have increased 73% from $3,170,965. The increase is due to increased sales across our full portfolio of Crewsafe V100 and Sea Marshall products.
==> picture [288 x 174] intentionally omitted <==
The Group’s operating expenses increased to $7,862,794 in 2012 as compared to $5,874,044 in 2011, an increase of 34%. This increase included $1,427,705 of increased cost of goods sold from the higher sales volumes. The combination of the increased sales, changes in operating expenses and other income realised from the decrease in the fair value of the deferred compensation paid for MRT resulted in a net loss for the year of $1,474,638 as compared to a loss of $4,234,955 in 2011, a decrease of 65%. The Group had various one off non-cash transactions in 2012 that affected the net loss.
The Group significantly reduced its workforce in the second half of the 2012 financial year. The Company reduced headcount from 35 to 20. The Company paid redundancy costs of $275,503 as part of these activities. In total, the Company paid $1,260,287 to the redundant employees over the 2012 financial year in the form of salaries and redundancy costs.
The Group also reversed the expense related to forfeited performance shares and stock options during the year. The reversal amounted to $478,815 for the performance shares and $12,121 for the employee stock options. Over the course of the year, the Company recognised a net share based compensation benefit of $283,497 (2011: expense $568,923).
The Group also incurred a further $62,500 in 2012 (2011: $170,333) of share based payments to employees and suppliers.
The Group also recognised a provision of $187,235 for the unused portion of its leased facilities in Osborne Park. As part of the restructuring, the Company no longer needs all the space under its lease and has provisioned for the portion not in use for the remaining life of the lease.
Financial Position of the Group
The Group ended 2012 with net assets of $4,420,785, compared to $3,165,167 in 2011. The improvement in financial condition is mostly due to the increase in sales volumes during the year, coupled with the reduction in expenses.
On the asset side, the Group has decreased its current asset position by $1,312,252 from 2012 to 2011, mostly due to the collection of its Entitlements Offer receivable of $1,815,420 which was paid to the Group on 22 July 2011. The group also reduced its inventories as it decreased the on hand stock of Crewsafe inventory and has aggressively pursued a shorter lead time position for its customers for its Sea Marshall products. These were offset by increases in our trade receivables due to the higher sales volumes. Noncurrent assets increased by $16,858 mostly due to capitalised research and development costs of our next generation Crewsafe and Sea Marshall products, offset by the depreciation and amortisation.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
10
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
On the liability front, the Group decreased its current liability position by $2,209,639 as a result of paying down its term and convertible debt from the funds received from its Entitlements Offer and private placement, as well as the increased sales.
Business strategy for future financial years
The Group made significant changes to its operations in 2012 in order to focus on growth in the coming years in the markets where we are enjoying the most success. We have consolidated operations in Europe where the bulk of our sales are located. We will also be releasing two new products in FY2013 to expand our European portfolio and add a new product to line up with the new North American standards. North America is a key market that we will pursue aggressively in the coming years. We are also working with our global partners to promote the proposal of legislation requiring man overboard technology. We have had success in Spain and Portugal, and now Nigeria has joined this group, with their mandate for mandatory use of man overboard equipment for Oil & Gas offshore workers.
We will also focus on expanding our sales and marketing reach to make sure we take advantage of our strong products and brands. We are also streamlining our reseller network to provide better service and improve margins to our customers.
Further information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would likely result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
Net Tangible Asset/(Liability)
The Group had a net tangible asset of $1,461,241 (2011: 242,140).The net tangible asset per weighted average share is $0.006 (2011: $0.002).

Other than the items listed above, there were no other changes to the state of affairs of the Group.

2 Remuneration at a glance
Remuneration strategy review in FY 2012
The Group completed review of its executive remuneration strategy to ensure the approach balances the needs from the business, shareholders and other stakeholders. The Group restructured the remuneration of its Chief Executive Officer in order to provide a lower fixed compensation and a higher component of performance compensation in short term and long term incentives. This commenced on 1 September 2011.
No changes were made to the Performance Share Plan or the Employee Stock Option plan during the year. As part of restructuring changes, various performance shares and share options were forfeited during the year.
3 Board oversight of remuneration
Remuneration committee
During Financial Year 2012, the Board in its entirety acted as the remuneration committee. The remuneration committee is responsible for making recommendations to the board on the remuneration arrangements for non-executive directors and executives. The Board appointed a chairman for its remuneration committee in the previous financial year.
The remuneration committee has the responsibility to assess the amount and composition of remuneration of non-executive directors and executives. The board is seeking to attract and retain top director and executive talent to deliver maximum shareholder value.
Further information on the committee’s role, responsibilities and membership can be seen at http://www.mobilarm.com .
Remuneration approval process
The board approves the remuneration arrangements of the CEO and executives and all awards made under the long-term incentive (LTI) plans. The board also sets the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors which is then subject to shareholder approval.
Remuneration strategy
Mobilarm Limited’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees and nonexecutive directors by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of each employee to the continued growth and success of the Group and shareholder return.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
17
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
To this end, key objectives of the Group’s reward framework are to ensure that remuneration practices:
-
are aligned to the Group’s business strategy, both short and long term;
-
offer competitive remuneration benchmarked against the external market; and
-
are aligned with shareholder return
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
4 Non-executive director remuneration arrangements
Remuneration policy
The board manages remuneration in order to balance the ability to have the best talent at its board and executive levels, the ability to provide the necessary levels of corporate governance for the Group and be able to do it at a cost that is within the means of the Group and the acceptance of shareholders.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure will be reviewed annually against fees paid by comparable companies.
The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the non-executive directors’ fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting.
The Company has an aggregate fee pool of $200,000 per year for Non Executive Directors to accommodate any corporate governance requirements as part of the Group’s listing on the ASX.
Structure
The remuneration of Non Executive Directors consists of directors’ fees only. Non-executive directors do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs.
The compensation of non-executive directors is based on a base fee of $30,000 per annum for being a director of the Group.
The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 is detailed in table 1 and 2 respectively of this report.
5 Executive remuneration arrangements
Remuneration levels and mix
The Group’s goal is to incentivise executives with a remuneration package that addresses their position and responsibilities within the Group and is also aligned with market practice. The Group is looking to ensure that total employment cost (TEC) is within the range of offerings for the position in the market.
The CEO’s remuneration mix comprises 100% fixed remuneration as a proportion of total remuneration, 0% short term incentives (“STI”) on target and 0% LTI. This mix was changed as of 7 September 2012 to be 47% fixed, 0% STI and 53% LTI. Executives’ remuneration mix ranges from 65%-98% fixed remuneration as a proportion of total remuneration, 0%-34% STI on target, and 1%-12% LTI.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Structure
In the 2012 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components:
-
Fixed remuneration; and
-
Variable remuneration
The table below illustrates the structure of Mobilarm Limited’s executive remuneration arrangements:
| Remuneration Component |
Vehicle | Purpose | Link to Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed remuneration |
Represented by total employment cost (TEC) Comprises base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits |
Set with reference to role, market and experience Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. |
No link to company performance |
| STI component | Cash bonus on short term sales targets |
Set to drive aggressive growth and reduce reliance on fixed compensation |
Sales targets |
| LTI component | Awards are made in the form of performance shares or stock options |
Rewards executives for their contribution to the creation of shareholder value over the longer term |
Vesting of awards is dependent on Mobilarm Limited’s targeted performance goal |
Fixed remuneration
Executive contracts of employment do not include any guaranteed base pay increases.
The fixed component of executives’ remuneration is detailed in table 1.
Variable remuneration — short-term incentive (STI)
The Group does not currently operate an STI program. The board has discussed the potential for such a program to drive Group performance in key performance factors, but no program has been put in place. During the year, discretionary bonuses were paid to P. Cleary.
Variable remuneration — long-term incentives (LTI)
LTI awards are made annually to executives in order to align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value over the long-term. As such, LTI awards are only made to executives and other key talent who have an impact on the Group's performance against the relevant long-term performance measure.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
19
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
LTI – Share Options
Structure
LTI awards are made under the performance share plan (PSP) and/or the employee stock option plan (ESOP).
LTI awards to executives are made under the performance share plan and are delivered in the form of performance shares. Each performance share entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Group. The number of performance shares issued is based on the executive’s target LTI. The performance shares will vest prior to the three year expiry date subject to meeting performance measures (see below), with no opportunity to retest. The performance criteria was selected as a direct measure of results of operations during its first three years of operation since listing on the stock exchange.
LTI awards made under the Group’s ESOP are delivered in the form of share options. Each share option entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Group. The number of share options issued is based on the KMP’s or executive’s target LTI. The share options issued to date have multiple time based vesting dates and expire five years from the date of issue. The Group will consider specific performance criteria for other awards under the ESOP. No share options have been exercised as of the date of this report.
Performance measure to determine vesting
The Group uses specific milestone or market capitalisation as the performance measure for the performance share plan. This criteria was selected to align compensation with growth to move the Group from an early stage development business to a large commercial entity in a short time period.
The milestone for each class of performance shares is as follows:
| Performance Share Class |
Performance Share Milestone | Performance Shares Awarded Since Inception |
|---|---|---|
| A | ASX conditional listing | 6,666,666 |
| B | $65 million market capitalisation | 3,166,666 |
| C | $100 million market capitalisation | 3,166,668 |

(i) The original expiry date for these options was 22-Dec-2015. The terms of these employee options provide for the expiry date to be extended to one year after the cessation of employment in the case of redundancy. The Company adjusted the expiry date as part of the redundancies completed.
Table 3 in section 8 provides details of performance shares awarded during the year and Table 4 in section 8 provides details of the value of the performance shares awarded, vested and lapsed during the year.
Termination and change of control provisions
Where a participant ceases employment prior to the vesting of their award, the performance share and/or options are forfeited unless the board applies its discretion to allow vesting at or post cessation of employment in appropriate circumstances.
In the event of a change of control of the Group, the performance period end date will generally be brought forward to the date of the change of control and awards will vest subject to performance over this shortened period, subject to ultimate board discretion.
LTI awards for 2012 financial year
The Group did not issue share options through its ESOP during 2012 to employees of the Company.
LTI awards for 2011 financial year
The Group issued 3,308,333 share options through its ESOP during 2011 to employees of the Company. No performance conditions were set as the grants were issued on time based vesting schedules for retention of key employees.
6 Group performance and the link to remuneration
Group performance and its link to long-term incentives
The financial performance measure driving LTI is the Group’s ASX listing and market capitalisation. The Group did complete its IPO capital raising before the end of 2011 as such, the performance criteria for class A was met and converted to ordinary shares. The Group listed on the ASX on 22 September 2010 and will track performance against the class B & C metrics from that point onwards. The Group is in the initial growth stages of revenue, with revenues of $5,473,269 and $941,741 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The measure of market capitalisation was used as it correlates with overall business performance. The Group expects to see an increase in its revenues upon large scale adoption of its products, which will yield profits that correlate to its market capitalisation.

Board Functions
The board of directors is established to direct the Group to meet the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other stakeholders. As part of meeting those expectations, the board has a responsibility to identify the areas of corporate governance to effectively manage the Group. To ensure that the board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the board.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Group is delegated, by the board, to the CEO and the executive management team. The board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the CEO and the executive management team.
Whilst at all times the board retains full responsibility for guiding and monitoring the Group, in discharging its stewardship it makes use of sub-committees. Specialist committees are able to focus on a particular responsibility and provide informed feedback to the board.
To this end the board has established the following committees:
-
Audit and Risk
-
Nomination
-
Remuneration
The Group has commenced the process to establish the roles and responsibilities of these committees.
The board is responsible for ensuring that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the board. The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved including:
-
Board approval and monitoring of a strategic plan designed to meet stakeholders' needs and manage business risk.
-
Implementation of budgets by management and monitoring progress against budget - via the establishment and reporting of both financial and non-financial key performance indicators.
Other functions reserved to the board include:
-
Approval of the annual and half-yearly financial reports.
-
Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures.
-
Ensuring that any significant risks that arise are identified, assessed, appropriately managed and monitored.
-
Reporting to shareholders.

Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report are included in the directors’ report. Directors of Mobilarm Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Group and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.
Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors that point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Group's loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors of Mobilarm Limited are considered to be independent:
Name Position
Sir Tim McClement Independent director
The board recognises the Corporate Governance Council’s recommendation that the Chair should be an independent director.
The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:
Name Term in office Mr. Brenton Scott 9 years Mr. David Marshall 1 year Mr. Ken Gaunt 1 year Sir Tim McClement 0 years
For additional details regarding board appointments, please refer to our website.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Performance
The performance of the board and key executives is reviewed against both measurable and qualitative indicators.
The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Mobilarm Limited.
Directors whose performance is consistently unsatisfactory may be asked to retire.
Trading policy
Under the Group's securities trading policy, an executive or director must not trade in any securities of the Group at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price-sensitive information in relation to those securities.
Before commencing to trade, an executive must first obtain the approval of the Group Secretary or a Director to do so and a director must first obtain approval of the Chairman.
As required by the ASX listing rules, the Group notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by directors in the securities of the Group.
Diversity Policy
The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Mobilarm has since its inception believed its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance.
We have and actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated. While Mobilarm is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has been and continues to be a priority for the Group.
To this end, the Group supports and complies with the recommendations contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The Group has established a diversity policy outlining the board’s measurable objectives for achieving diversity. This is assessed annually to measure the progress towards achieving those objectives. The diversity policy is available in the corporate governance section on the Group’s website.
The table below outlines the diversity objectives established by the board, the steps taken during the year to achieve these objectives, and the outcomes. During the year, we significantly restructured the Company, reducing our headcount from 35 to 20. This significant restructuring meant we were not increasing the number of personnel during most of the year. This shifted our focus during the year to ensuring the required skill sets were present and allowing opportunities for personnel to change roles to meet the needs. As we grow the business we will shift our focus again towards monitored diversity improvements.
| Objectives | Steps/Outcomes | |
|---|---|---|
| Recruit and manage on the basis of an individual’s competence, qualification and performance |
The Group manages individuals based on performance with annual review. Last year we completed reviews of all employees, including those of the newly acquired MRT. |
|
| Create a workplace culture characterized by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all |
Whilst Mobilarm places focus on diversity, career development opportunities are equal for all employees. |

| Create a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives through improved awareness of the benefits of workplace diversity and successful management of diversity, and at all times recognizing that employees may have restrictions placed on them by domestic responsibilities outside the workplace |
The Group includes diversity in our culture and day to day operations. | |
| Take action to prevent and stop discrimination. |
Mobilarm has set a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of employees at all levels. The company also provides avenues for employees to voice their concerns or report any discrimination. No cases of discrimination were reported during the year (2011: nil). |
|
| Create awareness in all staff of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity and respect for all aspects of diversity. |
We communicated the policies to all personnel and updated our policies to include these changes. |

Audit and Risk committee
The board has established an Audit and Risk committee, which operates under a charter approved by the board. The committee has not met as of the date of this report. The board of directors as a whole acted as the Audit and Risk committee during the period. It is the board's responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial.

The members of the Audit and Risk committee during the year were:
-
Mr. Brenton Scott (Committee Chairman)
-
Mr. David Marshall
Qualifications of audit committee members
Mr. Brenton Scott has been a Chartered Accountant for 22 years and has served as an executive of the Group. Mr. Scott spent 14 years in the accounting profession. He spent 10 of these as a partner of firstly Walker Wayland, Perth then Scott Partners, in which he was the Managing Partner. Mr. Scott then became the Chief Financial Officer of Electronic Banking Solutions Limited (EBS) which was a large independent deployer of ATM machines in Australia.
Mr. David Marshall has been a director of Marine Rescue Technologies Limited.
Risk
The Group sells products and services aimed at mitigating risk in the workplace. As such, the board takes a proactive approach to risk management. The identification and effective management of risk, including calculated risk-taking is viewed as an essential part of the Group’s approach to creating long-term shareholder value.
In recognition of this, the board determines the company's risk profile and is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control. In doing so the board has taken the view that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process and as such, has not established a separate risk management committee.
The board oversees an annual assessment of risks affecting the Group and the effectiveness of management’s plans to mitigate the risks. The tasks of undertaking and assessing risk management and internal control effectiveness are delegated to management through the CEO, including responsibility for the day to day design and implementation of the company's risk management and internal control system.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
45
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses the company's vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders' needs and manage business risk. The strategic plan includes the identified risks and strategies to mitigate them.
-
Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs of both a financial and nonfinancial nature.
For the purposes of assisting investors to understand better the nature of the risks faced by Mobilarm Limited, the board has prepared a list of operational risks as part of the Principle 7 disclosures. However the board notes that this does not necessarily represent an exhaustive list and that it may be subject to change based on underlying market events.
-
Fluctuations in component prices, exchange rates & demand volumes.
-
Political instability/sovereignty risk in our manufacturing site.
-
The occurrence of force majeure events by significant suppliers.
-
Increasing costs of operations, including labour costs.
-
Increased regulatory barriers around the implementation of devices using regulated radio frequencies in various countries.
-
Increased competition from established and new companies
The Group does not currently operate an internal audit/control team.
Underpinning these efforts is a comprehensive set of policies and procedures directed towards achieving the following objectives in relation to the requirements of Principle 7:
-
Effectiveness and efficiency in the use of the Group's resources;
-
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
-
Preparation of reliable published financial information.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
46
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
CEO and CFO certification
In accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the CEO and CFO have provided a written statement to the board that:
-
Their view provided on the Group's financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the financial policies adopted by the board.
-
The Group's risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all material respects.
The board agrees with the views of the ASX on this matter and notes that due to its nature, internal control assurance from the CEO and CFO can only be reasonable rather than absolute. This is due to such factors as the need for judgement, the use of testing on a sample basis, the inherent limitations in internal control and because much of the evidence available is persuasive rather than conclusive and therefore is not and cannot be designed to detect all weaknesses in control procedures.
In response to this, internal control questions are required to be completed by the key management personnel of all significant business units, including finance managers, in support of these written statements.
Remuneration
The expected outcomes of the remuneration goals of the Group are:
-
Attract, retain and incentivise key executives.
-
Performance incentives that allow executives to be rewarded for delivering results to the Group and its shareholders.
To assist in achieving these goals, the Group formed a remuneration committee to devise and monitor the amount of executive directors' and officers' remuneration to ensure it is closely tied to the Group's financial and operational performance. The committee has not met as of the date of this report. The board of directors as a whole acted as the Audit committee during the period.
For a full discussion of the Group's remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period please refer to the remuneration report, which is contained within the directors’ report.
There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits to non-executive directors.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Mobilarm Limited (the “Company”) and its consolidated entities (the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 September 2012.
Mobilarm Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Director’s Report.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for contingent consideration which has been measured at fair value.
The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Going Concern
This report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2012 of $1,474,638 (2011: $4,234,955) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,089,285 (2011: $3,144,164). As 30 June 2012, the Group had net assets of $4,420,785 (2011: $3,165,167).
Notwithstanding the above, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is reliant on:
-
increased cash flows from operations, and/ or
-
the raising of funds through a debt or equity issue.
The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and plans of the company and believe that the Company will achieve increased cash flows from operations to sustain its ability to continue as a going concern, which will also make the raising of funds more achievable if needed. The Company grew its revenues by 481% and has reduced its losses by 65% compared to the previous year following the successful integration of the Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd acquisition.
Should the entity not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the entity will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
(a) Compliance Statement
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

| AASB 124 (Revised) | The revised AASB 124_Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)_ simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition, including: (a) The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as related parties of each other (b) Entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other (c) The definition now identifies that, whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other A partial exemption is also provided from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. Entities that are related by virtue of being controlled by the same government can provide reduced related party disclosures. |

In particular, it amends AASB 8_Operating Segments_to require an entity to exercise judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. It also makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRS by the IASB. |

| AASB 10 | Consolidated Financial Statements |
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7. |

| AASB 11 | Joint Arrangements | AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and UIG-113 Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition it removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7 and amendments to AASB 128. |

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities.

| AASB 13 | Fair Value Measurement |
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8. |

The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10. |

| AASB 9 | Financial Instruments |
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below. (a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. (b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. (d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: ►The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) ►The remaining change is presented in profit or loss If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10. |

(c) Basis of consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity that Mobilarm Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A list of controlled entities is located below. All controlled entities except for Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd have a June financial year end. The Company filed a request in 2012 to change the year end of MRT from an April year end to a June year end. For purposes of this report, the operations of MRT are reported as if it had a June financial year end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the Group.
Where controlled entities have entered the consolidate group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained.

(d) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect the financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.
(i) Amortisation of intangibles with finite useful lives
In relation to the amortisation of intangibles with finite useful lives, management’s judgements are used to determine the estimate useful life. Management’s judgements are based on historical information relating to specific assets. Details of the useful lives are detailed below.
(ii) Capitalised development costs
Development costs are only capitalised by the Group when it can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale, how the asset will generate future economic benefits and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributed to the intangible asset during its development.
- (iii) Taxation
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
65
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgements as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgements are also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-recouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.
Judgements about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation on retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future cash sales, cost of sales, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the Statement of Financial Position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amount of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(e) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

(f) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.
Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.
Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.
The Group does not currently have multiple segments, but will identify segments that meet the quantitative criteria if and when present. The Chief Executive Officer is the Group's chief operating decision maker.
(g) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.
(ii) Interest income
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(iii) Rental income
Rental income from the sub-lease of the Group’s rented premises is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognised as income in the periods in which it is earned.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
(h) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an integral part of the total lease expense.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(j) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(k) Inventories
Inventories including raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:
-
a) Raw materials – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis; and
-
b) Finished goods and work-in-progress – cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(l) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
-
The Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
-
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
(ii) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(m) Foreign currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (“functional currency”). The functional and presentation currency of Mobilarm Limited is Australian dollars (“A$”). The functional currency of our overseas subsidiaries are as follows:
Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd Mobilarm, Inc.
British Pound (GBP ₤ United States Dollar (US$)
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
All exchange differences in the financial report are taken to profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
The results of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into Australian Dollars (presentation currency) as at the date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. Exchange variations resulting from translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
(n) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
(o) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except;
-
When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(p) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows;
- Plant and equipment – 2.5 to 20 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
(i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
71
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive.
(ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(q) Investments and other financial assets
Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(ii) Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-forsale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the Statement of Financial Position date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
(r) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
72
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
- (i) Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.
A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:
Patents and Licences
Useful lives: 5 years
Amortisation method used: Straight Line
Internally generated or acquired: Acquired
Impairment testing: Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists.
Development Costs
Useful lives: Finite
Amortisation method used: Amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project on a straight-line basis.
Internally generated or acquired: Internally generated
Impairment testing: Annually for assets not yet available for use and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists. The amortisation method is reviewed at each financial year-end.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
(s) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost of the business combination being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the company’s net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
73
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to the Group as a whole. This represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with AASB8.
Impairment testing is performed at 30 June each year. If the recoverable amount of the Group is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.
(t) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(u) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and due to their short-term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(v) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
74
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(i) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Mobilarm Limited does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated with this asset would be capitalised (including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing).
(w) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(i) Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised when the product is sold or service provided. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
(x) Employee leave benefits
(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave due to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts due to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
75
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(y) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(z) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders (after deducting interest on convertible notes) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
(aa) Shared based payments
(i) Equity settled transactions
The Group at times provides benefits to its employees (including KMP) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
There are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits:
-
The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), which provides benefits to all employees, including KMP.
-
The Performance Share Plan, which provide benefits to KMP.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Sholes model and reviewed by an external valuer.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income is the product of:
-
i. The grant date fair value of the award.
-
ii. The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met.
-
iii. The expired portion of the vesting period.
MOBILARM LIMITED – FINANCIAL REPORT 2012
76
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
The charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
(bb) Convertible notes
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position, net of transaction costs.
On issuance of the convertible notes, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a long-term liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years.
Interest on the liability component of the instruments is recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible noncumulative redeemable preference shares based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are first recognised.

i. Allowance for impairment loss
Receivables past due but not considered impaired are: $33,424 (2011: $273,380). Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until full payment is made. Each operating unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received in full.
Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.
ii. Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security for trade debtors, nor is it the company’s policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities.
iii.
Foreign exchange risk
Detail regarding foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in note 25.

Development costs
Development costs have been capitalised at cost. The intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using the straight line method over a period of 5 years. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value.
Intellectual property
Intellectual property costs have been capitalised at cost. The intangible asset was assessed as having a finite life and is fully amortised.
Patents and licenses costs
Patents and licenses costs have been capitalised at cost. These patent and licenses have been granted for a minimum of 5 years by the relevant government agency and have accordingly been amortised using the straight line method over this finite life. It was determined that the Patents and Licences which were being carried had no future economic benefit to the Group. Therefore, these amounts were fully amortised.
Goodwill
Goodwill has been capitalised at cost of the business combination being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the company’s net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognised in the previous year arose on the acquisition of MRT. Refer to note 26 for further details. The acquisition of MRT occurred on 9 June 2011 and the allocation of goodwill is allocated to the Man Overboard cash generating units.
The Group performed its annual impairment test as at 30 June 2012. The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. As at 30 June 2012, the market capitalisation of the Group was above the book value of its equity.
The recoverable amount of the electronics CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a three-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the increased demand for products and services. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 20% and cash flows beyond the fiveyear period are extrapolated using a 3.0% growth rate. As a result of this analysis, management has concluded the value of goodwill requires no impairment charge.
Impairment losses recognised
The Group did not have impairments in the 2012 financial year (2011: $185,129).The impairment loss in 2011 has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the line item “Impairment of capitalised development costs”. The Group continues to sell its Crewsafe products, but the sales have not achieved the forecasted levels. The development costs relating to the Crewsafe Wireless product have been written off in full in the prior year.
There were no reversals of impairment losses recognised in the 2012 and 2011 financial year.

25 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The company's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts, cash, short-term deposits and derivatives.
The company is exposed to financial risks which arise directly from its operations. The company has policies and measures in place to manage financial risks encountered by the business.
Primary responsibility for the identification of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board determines policies for the management of financial risks. It is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer and senior management to implement the policies set by the Board and for the constant day to day management of the Group's financial risks. The Board reviews these policies on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to address the risks faced by the company.
The main risks arising from the company's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The company's policy to minimise risk from fluctuations in interest rates is to utilise fixed interest rates in its bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. Cash and short term deposits are exposed to floating interest rate risks. Analysis is performed on customers' credit rating prior to signing contracts and analysis is performed regularly of credit exposures and aged debt to manage credit and liquidity risk.
The policies in place for managing the financial risks encountered by the company are summarised below.
a) Risk Exposures and Responses
Interest rate risk
The company's exposure to variable interest rates is as follows:
| 2012 $ |
2011 $ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents |
1,091,190 1,091,190 |
92,470 |
| 92,470 |
The company's policy is to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates by fixing the interest rate on financial instruments, including bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase liabilities, where possible. In addition, the company utilises a number of financial institutions to obtain the best interest rate possible and to manage its risk. The company does not enter into interest rate hedges.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the variable interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date:
At 30 June 2012, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Higher/ | Higher/ | Higher/ | Higher/ | |

| +0.5% (50 basis points) | 5,456 | 462 | - | - |
| -0.5% (50 basis points) | (5,456) | (462) | - | - |
The periodic effects are determined by relating the hypothetical changes in the floating interest rates to the balance of financial instruments at reporting date. It is assumed that the balance at the reporting date is representative for the year as a whole.
Foreign currency risk
As a result of operations internationally the company's Statement of Financial Position can be affected by movements in the various exchange rates.
The company also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases in currencies other than the functional currency. The company's policy is to naturally manage foreign exchange exposure by contracting with customers to receive sales revenue in the currency that the expenses have been incurred.
At 30 June 2012, the company had the following exposure to foreign currency
| 2012 $ |
2011 $ |

The Group is primarily exposed to foreign currency risk against the British Pound and the US Dollar. The wholly owned subsidiary Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd operates in British Pounds. The Group has small exposures against the Euro. A sensitivity analysis has been performed based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Credit risk
The company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the company's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the company's exposure to bad debts is not significant.
The Group has been exposed to credit risk as the top four customers accounted for 21% (2011: 37%) The Group has commenced selling its products and aims to minimise concentrations of credit risk in relation to accounts receivable by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers within the resources, energy and infrastructure industries.
For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the company does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Chief Financial Officer.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the company, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, the company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since the company only trades with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
Liquidity risk
The Group objective is to manage the liquidity of the business by monitoring project cash flows and through the use of financing facilities. The company currently utilises financing facilities in the form of bank loans and hire purchase liabilities. The liquidity of the company is managed by the company's Finance and Accounting department.
The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs, repayments and interest resulting from financial liabilities as of 30 June 2012.

- Contingent consideration has not been included in the table as it will be settled in shares.
Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from the Group’s contingent consideration payable as the fair value reported on the statement of financial position is impacted by the Group’s share price on the Australian Stock Exchange.
This has been measured based on the maximum number of shares to be issued at the Group’s share price at the date of acquisition. Over the term of the contingent consideration, the amount will be fair valued at each balance date and the movement in fair value recorded through the statement of comprehensive income. For example, if the share price in the Group increases, the value of the contingent consideration will increase, resulting in an increase to the liability reported in the statement of financial position and expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
At 30 June 2012, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $114,233.
The table below discloses the sensitivities in relation to the impact of a share price movement on the valuation of the embedded derivative. The 3 cent sensitivity is based on a reasonably possible change over a financial year using an observed range of the actual historical share prices of the Group since its listing date.

Fair values
The Group’s contingent consideration is recorded at its fair value, using the Level 2 basis as described in the Fair Value Hierarchy below.
The Fair Value Hierarchy assigns rankings to the level of judgment which is applied in deriving inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the Fair Value Hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 is the preferred input for valuation and reflects unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which the economic entity can access at the end of the reporting period. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
Level 2 is the valuation of assets and liabilities either directly or indirectly based upon market observables other than quoted prices. For example: financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes; investments in private equity funds with fair values obtained via fund managers; and assets that are valued using the economic entities' own models whereby the majority of assumptions are market observable.
Level 3 relates to inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable inputs means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation technique (model) based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

- The final fair values disclosed above have remained unchanged from the provisional accounting previously disclosed at 30 June 2011.
From the date of acquisition on 9 June 2011, MRT has contributed revenue and a loss before tax (excluding corporate overheads) of $204,674 and $30,489, respectively. Mobilarm Limited wrote down the value of inventories subsequent to the acquisition date as the future benefit of the stock is beyond 12 months. The total impact of these adjustments was $111,038. If those adjustments were not made, MRT would have had a net profit before tax of $80,549 from the date of acquisition.
Had the acquisition of MRT occurred at the beginning of the reporting period, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have included revenue and loss of $3,170,965 and $3,632,920, respectively. The costs of acquisition have been expensed and are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Included in the business acquired were receivables with a gross contractual and fair value of $576,523 resulting from trade sales with customers. Management expects these amounts to be collected in full and converted to cash consistent with customer terms, which call for the payment within 30 days of the initial sale.

Management believes the goodwill reflects the synergies between Mobilarm and MRT. Management believes that it is probable that it MRT will reach the deferred milestone and as such has recognized the liability for the deferred compensation as at the completion date.
The Group incurred $276,674 in costs from the acquisition. The costs are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as follows:
| External consultants and contractors Legal fees Travel and accommodation Telephone and internet charges TOTAL COSTS |

Deferred Compensation
The fair value of the deferred compensation was adjusted as at each reporting period to reflect the current value of the Company’s share price. The resulting fair value adjustment of $334,130 (2011: $22,847) is recognized as other income and reduces the value of the deferred compensation to $465,498, $351,265 which was issued and $114,233 which remains as a liability as at 30 June 2012.
MRT achieved 2012 gross revenue of £2,724,138, exceeding its deferred compensation target of £1,600,000. The Company issued 8,567,446 ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.
The excess 2012 gross revenue of £1,124,138 can be applied to a shortfall in the 2013 year. The shortfall would only require 2013 gross revenue of £875,862 for the remaining deferred compensation of 2,855,815 ordinary shares to be issued.
