DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

The financial year ending 30 June 2008 has resulted in significant milestones being achieved toward the development of the company’s new commercial products.

Corporate Overview

The Mobilarm team has made excellent progress towards the completion and introduction of the world’s first commercial wireless man overboard safety platform.

The new Mobilarm Crewsafe® enables marine employers to remove significant identified risks from the work place, reducing the likelihood of related fatalities. It is an active crew monitoring and reporting system that immediately detects emergency events such as man overboard, providing GPS location and recovery information of the incident to enable a quick and effective rescue of the casualty. Additional features of the system include manual alarm activation and individual duress alarm to alert all crew should an emergency occur anywhere within the network’s coverage.

Crewsafe® provides an enhanced level of personnel safety and security through crew location monitoring and management, covert and overt alarm capability, individual paging and individual duress alarm, with future versions of the products planned to incorporate bio-metric monitoring. In addition, the system provides database management of rescue assets, safety equipment and personnel.

By providing a safer working environment for marine employees, Crewsafe® addresses many of the occupational health and safety risks identified within the commercial marine industry, thereby assisting employers to prevent loss of life or personal injury of their workers, and to maximise the company’s efficiency in emergency response procedures. Crewsafe® will be officially launched at the New Orleans International Work Boat Show on 3 December, 2008.

In addition to the Crewsafe® wireless man overboard system the company will be shipping in January 2009 its innovative Mobilarm V100 VPIRB (VHF Position Indicating Radio Beacon) which is the first fully-automated Maritime Survivor Locating Device designed specifically to use VHF DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and VHF voice to transmit an emergency distress signal in a man overboard (MOB) emergency. The V100 VPIRB was formally introduced at the 2008 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.

The Mobilarm V100 automatically transmits a “MAYDAY MAN OVERBOARD” alert via VHF DSC on marine channel 70 when the device detects the wearer has gone overboard. Once a GPS lock is acquired, typically in less than 30 seconds, the Mobilarm V100 transmits a “MAYDAY MAN OVERBOARD” alert again, including the latitude and longitude coordinates of the person in the water, via VHF DSC and also by a synthesized VHF voice message on channel 16. The distress signal is broadcast to all vessels in the vicinity, including the distressed mariner’s vessel and any onshore VHF receiver within range. Messages are repeated at regular intervals until the MOB is rescued.

2 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

The Mobilarm V100 provides instant notification to the mariner's vessel that one of the crew has been lost overboard, alerting the people who are in the best position to rescue the MOB - the crew onboard - and ensuring they are deployed as soon as possible to minimise the length of time the casualty spends in the water.

The company has received considerable global interest on both products from the target markets. The company has secured a number of firm orders, including written confirmation for the go ahead to install our Crewsafe and V100 products on a major loading facility. The company is also presenting the V100 to a number of international regulatory bodies considering the mandating of man overboard technology in the commercial fishing industry including those in Spain, Germany, France and Belgium. An excellent sales funnel exists and with the release of the new products the company will be now begin transferring its resource investments from development to demand generation.

Due to the market conditions the company has delayed its IPO plans and during FY2009 the company will continue to seek capital through alternative means to assist with the commercialization of our technologies, and the development of global sales channels to increase our speed to market. Now with product availability in calendar 2009 we are expecting a strong turnaround in the Company’s financial performance and will be seeking to reach a cash flow positive position during the 2009 financial year.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the company during the financial year were the development, manufacturing and sale of a Man Overboard Safety Systems.

There were no other significant changes in the nature of the activities of the company during the financial year.

Dividends

No dividends were paid or declared for the financial year.

Operating Results for the Year

The loss of the company after providing for income tax amounted to ($3,037,569) (2007: Loss of $1,813,363).

State Of Affairs

There were no changes to the state of affairs of the company.

Likely Developments and Expected Results

The directors have excluded from this report information on likely developments in the operations of the entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years, since, in the opinion of the directors, it would prejudice the interests of the company if this information were included.

Environmental Issues

The company’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulations under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State of Territory.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) 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 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.

b) 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 Company has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2008 of $3,037,569 (2007: $1,813,363) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,490,976 (2007: $1,881,752). At 30 June 2008, the Company had net current assets of $210,924 (2007: $292,003). The directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Company and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Company will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through debt or equity issues as and when the need to raise working capital arises.

The financial report does not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

c) Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the “AASB”) that are relevant to the operations of the Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007. The adoption of this standard has only affected the disclosure in these financial statements. There has been no affect on profit or loss or the financial position of the company.

The company has adopted AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and all consequential amendments which became applicable on 1 July 2007. The adoption of this standard has only affected the disclosure in these financial statements. There has been no affect on profit or loss or the financial position of the company.

During the period, a number of Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. These have not been adopted by the company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2008. The impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards is not expected to give rise to material changed in the company’s financial statements.

12 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

(i) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives

The Company determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in note 10.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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) Rendering of services

Revenue from the provision of engineering contracting services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of a contract.

Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract.

When the contract outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

13

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Revenue recognition (continued)

(iii) 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.

(iv) Rental income

Rental income from the sub-lease of the Company’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.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual installments.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are amortised over a five year period.

14 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

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 fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

(i) The Company as a lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Company 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 Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet 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 Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

15

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Inventories

Inventories 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.

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.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

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:

  • a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • b) The Company 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

  • c) The Company 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.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Company could be required to repay.

When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Company may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cashsettled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

(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.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(i) Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the income statement. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign currency translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars (“A$”). The Company determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using that functional currency.

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 balance sheet 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.

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 balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet 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 balance sheet 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.

18 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet 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 balance sheet 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.

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • a) 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

  • b) 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 balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement 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.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at 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. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.

Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and less any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.

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 pre-tax 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.

For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the income statement in the cost of sales line item.

(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.

20 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement 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 Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-tomaturity when Mobilarm has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iii) 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.

21

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Investments and other financial assets (continued)

(iv) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale 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 balance sheet 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.

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 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.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cashgenerating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.

22 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Company 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 Company’s intangible assets is as follows:

Patents and Licences AASB 138.118

Useful lives: 5 years Amortisation method used: Straight Line Internally generated or acquired: Acquired

Impairment testing AASB 136.10: Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists (2007: Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists).

Development Costs AASB 138.118 Useful lives: Finite (2007: Finite)

Amortisation method used: Amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project on a straightline basis (2007: 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 AASB 136.10: 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 (2007: 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).

The patents and licences have been sought to be granted for a minimum of 5 years by the relevant government agency with the option of renewal without significant cost at the end of this period provided that the Company meets certain predetermined targets. The fact that patents and licences have previously been renewed and that the evidence supports the meeting of these targets has allowed the Company to determine that there is no forseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Company.

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.

23

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Impairment of assets

The Company 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 Company 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 pre-tax 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 unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

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 unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. 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.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

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.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

24 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company 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 Company 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 income statement 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.

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 expected 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 expected 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.

(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.

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.

(a) Allowance for impairment loss

Receivables past due but not considered impaired are: $2,154 (2007: $36,054). 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 expect that these other balances will be received when due.

(b) Related party receivables

There are no related party receivables as at 30 June 2008. For terms and conditions of related parties transactions refer to note 21.

(c) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their value.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the company’s policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities.

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 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. It was determined that the Intellectual Property which was being carried had no future economic benefit to the Company. Therefore, these amounts were fully amortised. 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.

Patent 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 Company. Therefore, these amounts were fully amortised.

No impairment losses were recognised for continuing operations in the 2007 and 2008 financial year.

22 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 summarized below.

41

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

22 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Risk Exposures and Responses

Interest rate risk

The company’s exposure to variable interest rates is as follows:

Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents
2008
2007
779,482
315,357
779,482
315,357

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 balance sheet date:

At 30 June 2008, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Judgements of reasonably possible movements relating to financial assets and liabilities of floating rates:

Post Tax Profit
Higher/(Lower
2008 2007
+0.5% (50 basis points) 3,897 1,577
-0.5% (50 basis points) (3,897) (1,577)

The movements in profit from 2007 to 2008 are due to higher interest revenue from variable rate cash balances as a result of higher interest rates and higher financial asset balances.

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.

42 MOBILARM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008

==> picture [148 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Foreign currency risk

As a result of operations internationally the company’s balance sheet 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 2008, the company had the following exposure to foreign currency:

Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables
Net Exposure
2008
2007

172,817
203,736
172,817
203,736
(158,749)
(157,539)

A sensitivity analysis has been performed based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date and the impact on post tax profit is not material.

43

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

22 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Risk Exposures and Responses

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.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the company. The company minimises 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 Head of Credit Control.

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 Company 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, including derivative financial instruments as of 30 June 2008.

The remaining contractual maturities of the company’s financial liabilities are:
