Corporate actions
The Company finalised a capital raising of $820,000 in December 2015.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group during the course of the financial year were:
- § Design and development of systems to produce electricity from heat.
Review of operations
The loss from ordinary activities after tax for the period is $578,378.
The result for the period included a research and development tax incentive rebate of $2,429,373.
During 2015 the Group raised $771,741 in new equity and made net repayments of debt of $490,000.
At 31 December 2015 the Group held $612,117 in cash. The Groups 2015 Research and Development tax rebate is
expected to yield up to an additional $800,000 in cash when received in the 2nd quarter of 2016.
Throughout 2015 Enerji continued its corporate reengineering and product development activities and continued to advance toward the commercialisation of its products.
In March 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaboration agreement with Panorama Synergy (ASX: PSY; “Panorama”) to develop a hydrocarbon monitoring system using MEMS technology. Enerji is assessing the viability of using high temperature hydrocarbon working fluids such as toluene as an alternative to the current low temperature fluids used in its Opcon Powerbox, a heat-to-power system which is powered by an Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”) turbine. Where higher temperature waste heat is able to be harvested, typical of remote area power plants, using high temperature hydrocarbons has the potential to produce 2-3 times more electricity from the same quantity of input thermal energy. This will allow Enerji to harness a greater proportion of the estimated 30,382 PJ per annum of currently untapped waste energy from global electricity generation, more than the total amount of energy produced from coal burned for power generation around the world.
In partnership with Panorama and utilising Panorama’s alloptical MEMS technology, Enerji will develop sensors which can measure and track hydrocarbons in high temperature ORC power systems, and ultimately provide industry leadership and new best practice in safe working environments in this application.
The phased agreement with Panorama is for an initial 24month period with the option to extend it for a further 24 months. Enerji and Panorama will initially determine the commercial feasibility of the toluene sensor with a view to reaching a formal co-development and production agreement. This would also provide Enerji with the exclusive right to market and sell the sensors internationally for use in ORC heat to power projects.
In May 2015, the Company announced it had entered into a Mandate and letter of commitment from Northern Star Resources Limited to evaluate the application of ATEN technologies at its Jundee gold mine (“Jundee”). Management, under the Direction of the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Mr. Andrew Vlahov, worked diligently in finalising matters with Northern Star, which culminated in the execution of a Heat Tolling Agreement in January 2016.
As noted above, there was a change in management and Board in May 2015. Mr. Rod Phillips and Mr. John Dekker were appointed as Directors of the Company in unison with Mr. Vlahovs appointment as Chief Executive Officer.
In the second half of the year the Company entered into a commercial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SNC-Lavalin Australia Pty Ltd, an Australian subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin. The MOU detailed how the two parties will work collaboratively to present Enerji’s Accretive Thermal
Annual Report

Energy Node (ATEN) Technology and SNC-Lavalin’s skill and experience to the latter’s client base and was a significant milestone for Enerji and represents a strong validation of the quality of Enerji’s ATEN technology and its applicability to Australian and global locations.
The MOU sets out the following key commercial terms:
· Initial term of 5 years.
· SNC-Lavalin will use Enerji’s ATEN technology exclusively in the pursuit of commercially advantageous bids.
· SNC-Lavalin and Enerji will jointly focus on an initial 10 projects using Enerji’s ATEN technology.
· The parties will subsequently enter into formal agreements on each individual project on a revenue / cost sharing basis.
· Enerji will continue product development to improve thermal efficiencies of the ATEN technology.
In November 2015 the Company advised that it has commenced a new strategic growth initiative through the licensing of its advanced heat to power technology to overseas markets, opening up a new and potentially substantial revenue line for the Company.
This demonstrated a new direction for Enerji’s approach to capturing and maximising the demand from international markets, and provides a platform for further cooperation with key international partners.
The licensing approach provides Enerji with the ability to capture near-term revenue from a new source by providing interested parties the license to use the Company’s substantial intellectual property, particularly around the advanced Accretive Thermal Energy Node (ATEN) product.
Initial discussions have commenced with overseas parties in recent months, with an initial focus on securing licensees by geographic region, in particular Africa, North America and ASEAN regions. Enerji plans to consider both master and individual licenses, and retains the authority over the technology to determine each agreement on its merits.
The Company’s funding remained at the forefront of the Board considerations throughout the year. Whilst reliance on Research & Development funding has served the Company well throughout the development stage, the Board is
conscious of putting in place alternate funding arrangements to ensure the Company is adequately funded throughout its commercialisation phase. The Company completed a capital raising in December 2015 of $820k. As at the date of this report, further funding initiatives are being progressed.”
Results of operations
The consolidated entity recorded an operating loss after income tax of $578,378 (2014: $10,674,665 loss).
The net liabilities of the consolidated entity at 31 December 2015 were $3,555,641 (2014: net loss $3,779,742).
As at 31 December 2015 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $612,117.
The net cash outflow from operating activities of $260,630 relate to payments to advance new projects. The net cash inflow from financing activities of $281,741 relates to various funding activities.

b) Remuneration policy, link to performance and elements of remuneration
Our remuneration committee is made up of the Board Chair and a non-executive director.
The company’s key management have been restructured with new key management and new non-executive directors appointed. During the reporting period no payments were made to a person before the person took office as part of the consideration for the person agreeing to hold office.
Non-Executive Directors
On appointment to the board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of director.
Presently no element of director remuneration is ‘at risk’, that is, fees are not based on the performance of the Company or equity based.
Executive management
Executive management have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the company. Compensation levels for executive management of the Company are set competitively to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced and senior executives.
The compensation structures for executives are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives and achieve the broader outcome of the creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structure takes into account the executives’ capability and experience, level of responsibility and ability to contribute to the Company’s performance, including, in particular, the establishment of revenue streams and growth in shareholder returns.
Fixed compensation consists of a base salary or fee (calculated on a total cost basis, including any fringe benefits tax related to employee benefits) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. The board through a process that considers individual and company achievement reviews compensation levels annually.

Annual Report
c) Link between remuneration and performance
Options and Performance based shares were agreed to be issued as part of the CEO package. These options and performance shares represent performance-linked remuneration. The Group will be seeking to establish a short-term incentive (STI) scheme and a long-term incentive (LTI) scheme, presently there is no formal policy in place but the remuneration committee will consider this. Mr Stonehouse had short-term and long-term incentives in his 2013 Services Agreement signed 24 June 2013 (refer later in this report for details). Mr Stonehouse’s 2014 Ames Agreement (refer later in this report for details) has deferred payments for work completed that is based on achievement of future milestones. The shareholders in general meetings approve all securities issues to key management and executive directors. This is the only link between remuneration and shareholder wealth.
There is only a relatively short history of the compensation structure for the Company and the remuneration committee is formulating the new policy to consider this.

Annual Report
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 December 2015
1 Reporting entity
Enerji Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Unit B9, 431 Roberts Rd Subiaco WA 6008. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”). The Group primarily is involved in the marketing of energy recovery and clean energy generation solutions.
2 Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries.
(d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(e) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
- a. In the 2015 financial statements, the Group made a significant judgement about the impairment of property, plant and equipment, namely the Carnarvon Power Station WHPS Project and prepayments related to the Opcon Powerboxes. While the Group has prospects for the use of these assets that will ultimately yield future cashflows if successful, the Group has followed the guidance of AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to determine when an asset is impaired. The determination requires detail judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the replacement value of the asset against the cost. The replacement value of the project is based on the cost to design, construct and install a similar project.
(f) Changes in accounting policies
Other than as noted below the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these financial statements as compared with the previous annual financial statements.
The Group previously accounted for refundable R&D tax incentives as an income tax benefit. The Group has determined that these incentives are more akin to government grants because they are not conditional upon earning taxable income. The Group has therefore made a voluntary change in accounting policy during the reporting period. Refundable tax incentives are now accounted for as a government grant under AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance because the directors consider this policy to provide more relevant information to meet the economic decision-making needs of users, and to make the financial statements more reliable. The comparative period has also been adjusted (refer Note 7).
(g) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group incurred a comprehensive loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2015 of $578,378 (2014: $10,674,665) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $260,630 (2014: $426,293).
The Group has a net working capital deficiency of $3,578,916 at 31 December 2015, the largest items being $2,372,224 that relates to the supply of up to four future Opcon Powerboxes not yet received, and $1,135,114, as a component of services provided with agreed deferred terms (refer to Note 20 (c)).
In order to meet its current liabilities and continue to make instalments on further Powerboxes and complete new projects, the Group will be required to secure funding in the form of; debt such as project or equipment finance, receive project
22
Annual Report
revenue, receive grants, or raise equity. Furthermore, the Group is registered to claim an R&D tax offset and receive a tax refund equivalent to the value of certain deductions available under the R&D tax incentive. The anticipated R&D tax offset refund entitlement for the current year is $700,000 to $800,000, which is expected to be received during the second quarter of 2016. The Group’s Management has held preliminary discussions with a number of Australian financial institutions specifically to be satisfied of the reasonableness of this approach. The Company provided technical data and independent valuation material to the financial institutions and the informal feedback from them is that the technology and the valuations are acceptable and that a funding application would be routinely considered once a project is advanced to the appropriate stage, i.e. revenue is contracted.
In the event that the Group is not able to successfully secure funding in the form of either debt such as project or equipment finance, receive project revenue, receive grants, raise equity or receive the R&D tax offset refund entitlement as discussed above, there is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise the assets and extinguish the liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
Having regard to the matters set out above the Directors believe that at the date of signing the financial statements, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
(ii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost.
(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
23
Annual Report
denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
(c) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group recognises financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group has non-derivative financial liabilities comprising trade and other payables and loans, which are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. Trade and other payables 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 has an obligation to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(d) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents 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 that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
(f) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
24
Annual Report
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| • • • • |
Plant and equipment (Construction in progress assets and fittings and equipment) Computers (Office furniture, fittings and equipment) Fixtures and fittings (Construction in progress assets) Major components (Construction in progress assets) |
5 years 4 years 10 years 10 - 15 years. |
|---|---|---|
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
(g) Leases
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(h) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and capitalised borrowing costs. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is recognised in the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date they are available for use unless such lives are indefinite. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are systematically tested for impairment annually. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Distribution Licence - 5 years
(iv) Distribution rights
Costs associated with the initial acquisition of Enerji Holdings Pty Ltd (formerly Jamalcom Pty Ltd), the holder of the distribution rights for Opcon Powerboxes in Australia were capitalised as intangible assets. The directors review the
25
Annual Report
carrying value of the Distribution Rights to ensure the carrying value does not exceed their recoverable amount and if an impairment in value arises, the intangible asset is written down.
(i) Leased assets
Leases under the terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised as assets in the Group’s statement of financial position.
(j) Impairment
(i) Financial assets (including receivables)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified.
In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(ii) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
26
Annual Report
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(k) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Statement of Financial Position.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period 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 end of the reporting period of government bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.
(iv) Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained by the Group.
(l) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation the amount of which at can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
(m) Finance income and finance costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and convertible notes, unwinding of the discount on provisions, and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
27
Annual Report
(n) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. The Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders.
As per Note 2(f) and Note 7(a), the R&D tax offset refund in recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period it is received as other income.
(o) Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(p) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.
(q) Segment reporting
The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Chief Development Officer, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components.
The Group is organised into one operating segment. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
(r) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the group’s activities. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenue recognition for interest income is explained in Note 3 (m).

(s) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
New Standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2015 have not affected the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.
(t) Accounting Standards Issued Not yet Effective
The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 31 December 2015. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 and are expected to impact the entity in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated in the table below.

…continued from previous page… The following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139_Financial Instruments: Recognition and_ _Measurement_into AASB 9: • Classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and • Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities. However, AASB 9 requires that gains or losses on financial liabilities measured at fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk are recognised in other comprehensive income. Impairment The new impairment model in AASB 9 is now based on an ‘expected loss’ model rather than an ‘incurred loss’ model. A complex three stage model applies to debt instruments at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income for recognising impairment losses. A simplified impairment model applies to trade receivables and lease receivables with maturities that are less than 12 months. For trade receivables and lease receivables with maturity longer than 12 months, entities have a choice of applying the complex three stage model or the simplified model. …continued over page… |
…continued from previous page… The entity has financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. The amendments require that any changes in fair value attributable to the liability’s credit risk be recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. The change is applied retrospectively, however comparatives need not be retrospectively restated. Instead, the cumulative effect of applying the change for the first time is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on 1 January 2018. …continued over page… |

…continued from previous page… Hedge accounting Under the new hedge accounting requirements: • The 80-125% highly effective threshold has been removed • Risk components of non-financial items can qualify for hedge accounting provided that the risk component is separately identifiable and reliably measurable • An aggregated position (i.e. combination of a derivative and a non- derivative) can qualify for hedge accounting provided that it is managed as one risk exposure • When entities designate the intrinsic value of options, the initial time value is deferred in OCI and subsequent changes in time value are recognised in OCI • When entities designate only the spot element of a forward contract, the forward points can be deferred in OCI and subsequent changes in forward points are recognised in OCI. Initial foreign currency basis spread can also be deferred in OCI with subsequent changes be recognised in OCI • Net foreign exchange cash flow positions can qualify for hedge accounting. |

Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
An entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18_Revenue_. |
Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 |
Due to the recent release of this standard, the entity has not yet made a detailed assessment of the impact of this standard. |

Nature of Change | Application date: |
Impact on Initial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 16 (issued February 2016) |
Leases | AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 _Leases._It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its balance sheet in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its balance sheet for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. |
Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. |
To the extent that the entity, as lessee, has significant operating leases outstanding at the date of initial application, 1 January 2019, right- of-use assets will be recognised for the amount of the unamortised portion of the useful life, and lease liabilities will be recognised at the present value of the outstanding lease payments. Thereafter, earnings before interest, depreciation, amortisation and tax (EBITDA) will increase because operating lease expenses currently included in EBITDA will be recognised instead as amortisation of the right-of-use asset, and interest expense on the lease liability. However, there will be an overall reduction in net profit before tax in the early years of a lease because the amortisation and interest charges will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred under AASB 117_Leases_. This trend will reverse in the later years. There will be no change to the accounting treatment for short-term leases less than 12 months and leases of low value items, which will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis. |
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
4. Determination of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
(i) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of options issued as share-based payment are measured using an appropriate pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
The fair value of shares issued as share-based payment is measured based on the share price on the date of issue.
5. Financial risk management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The executive directors are responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies and report regularly to the Board of Directors on their activities. Details of credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and capital management are disclosed in Note 27 to the financial statements.

27 Financial instruments
Financial risk management policies
The Group financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivables and payable and domestic loans.
The Board of Directors analyse financial risk exposure at Board Meetings to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimizing potential adverse effects on financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or other counterparty to a financial instrument fails to discharge their obligations.
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

| Note Loans and receivables – current 11 Loans and receivables – non current Cash and cash equivalents 10 |
Carrying amount 2015 2014 700 339,630 - - 612,117 690,606 |
|---|---|
| 612,817 1,030,236 |
The Group manages credit risk through dealing with creditworthy counterparties and balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. For bank and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum Standard &Poor’s credit rating of A (or equivalent) are accepted.
Group sensitivity
Based on the financial instruments held at 31 December 2015, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the SEK with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax loss for the year would have been $435,199/$660,082.
Liquidity risk
The Group has limited exposure to liquidity risk as the Group’s main liabilities are trade and other payables.
All financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 6 months.
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring adequate access to funds from unutilised borrowing facilities or other sources.
Currency and market risk
At present, the Group has no foreign currency hedges in respect of forecast sales and purchases. The Group also has no hedges in place for its trade receivables and trade payables denominated in a foreign currency.
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the SEK (Swedish Krona).
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
Management has set up a policy that all transactions in foreign currencies be transacted at spot. Management will continually review this policy based on volumes of foreign currency required.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rates relate primarily to cash and cash equivalents. As at 31 December 2015 the Group has no financial liabilities subject to interest rate movements. Sensitivity to interest rate risk is considered immaterial.
Summarised sensitivity analysis
The Group has used ranges of rate and price fluctuations that approximate the rates observed over the reporting period to estimate its sensitivity to market rates. The Group’s main interest rate exposures are to Australian short-term interest rates; its foreign exchange risk is to the Swedish Krona.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollar, was as follows:
| 2015 | 2014 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Trade payables - SEK | 2,252,384 | 2,178,397 |
Based on the financial instruments held at 31 December 2015, had the Australia dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the SEK with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax loss for the year would have been $112,441 higher/$112,441 lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of SEK denominated liabilities as detailed in the above table.
Fair values
The net fair value and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments.

Annual Report
There are no material financial instruments in the Statement of Financial Position.
Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong asset base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. Neither the Group nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Enerji Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Enerji Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(g), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

has been given to the directors of Enerji Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Enerji Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(g).
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(g) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity or debt. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 2(g), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 6-14 of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Enerji Limited for the year ended 31 December 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
