DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 60] intentionally omitted <==
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)
1. Introduction (continued)
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its Directors and executives. The performance of the Company depends on the quality of its Directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performing and high-quality personnel. The Company has structured a market competitive executive remuneration framework. The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests.
The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
-
Focusing on shareholder value and returns; and
-
Attracting and retaining high calibre executives.
Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
-
Rewarding capability and experience;
-
Reflecting a competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;
-
Providing a clear structure for earning rewards; and
-
Providing recognition for contribution.
2. Remuneration governance
The Directors believe the Company is not currently of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to warrant the establishment of a separate remuneration committee. Accordingly, all remuneration matters are considered by the full Board of Directors, in accordance with a nomination and remuneration committee charter. During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.
3. Executive remuneration arrangement
The compensation structures are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Shares and options may only be issued to Directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.
The compensation structures take into account:
-
The capability and experience of the executive;
-
The executive’s ability to control the relevant segment’s performance; and
-
The Company’s performance including:
-
The Company’s earnings; and
-
The growth in share price and delivering constant returns on shareholder wealth.
The short-term incentives (“STI”) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (“KPI's”) being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management. The long-term incentives (“LTI”) include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives based on long-term incentive measures and includes an increase in shareholders’ value. The Board reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2024.
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Company. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments, including performance rights, are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Board.
The Board is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed in part to the adoption of performancebased compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2023 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
The Company received more than 99% of "yes" votes on its remuneration report for the 2023 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Vysarn Limited (“Vysarn” or “the Company”) is a listed public Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company is a for-profit entity. Its registered office and principal place of business is Level 1, 640 Murray St, West Perth WA 6005.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its controlled entities (“the Group”).
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 22 August 2024. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of Compliance
These 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 Standard Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001 . These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in Note 2(z) below.
The Group decided to revise the useful life of its Pentium Hydro drill rig plant and equipment during the period, from 10 years to 14 years. The basis of this change was as a result of a number of internal factors including:
-
The Group has now been operating for over four years since its initial acquisition of Ausdrill’s waterwell drilling assets. In these four years, the Group has established its operations and now has greater oversight over the condition of certain assets initially acquired.
-
Industry considerations and guidance including peer reviews conducted; and
-
Discussions with suitably qualified and experienced internal personnel as to Group's assets and their past experience with similar plant and equipment.
In implementing the revised useful lives, the Group has applied the change in depreciation based on an assessment of individual asset useful lives prospectively, from 1 July 2023, as required under Australian Accounting Standards. As a result of the change in estimate, depreciation for the drill rig plant and equipment for the twelve-month period ended 30 June 2024 decreased from approximately $2,073,220 to $1,450,993. Further information on the Group's Plant and Equipment Is contained within Note 2 and Note 15 of this report.
c) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
22 | Vysarn Limited ABN 41 124 212 175 – Financial Report 30 June 2024
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
The Directors have reviewed a budget/forecast and having considered the above, are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for the next 12 months.
d) Adoption of New Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Other than the changes described below, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction , AASB 2022-7 Editorial Corrections to Australian Accounting Standards and Repeal of Superseded and Redundant Standards and AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates
e) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2024. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
f) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value; none of the Group’s trade receivables contain a financing component. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cashflows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on share credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on existing market conditions and forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
g) Inventories
Inventories, including raw materials and stores, work in progress and contract fulfilment costs are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises; expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and the costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition, including direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
h) Property, plant & equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that Is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
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 / (expense) in the statement of profit or loss. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.
Depreciation
Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of the asset, less its residual value. An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required for it to operate in the manner intended by management. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the fixed asset item, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the assets.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
-
Plant and equipment – 2 - 14 years;
-
Computer equipment – 3 years; and
-
Trucks, trailers and light vehicles – 4 - 10 years.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
i) Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
j) Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identifiable or separately recognised. Goodwill is initially recognised at an amount equal to the excess of: (a) the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest (in the case of a step acquisition); over (b) the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For accounting purposes, such measurement is treated as the cost of goodwill at that date. Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Capitalised development costs
Costs incurred in developing products and technology are initially recognised as an asset and are subsequently amortised over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the product is considered commercialised. The amortisation method applied to an intangible asset is consistent with the estimated consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, development costs are recognised as an intangible asset are measured at cost, less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
k) Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
l) Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accruals basis.
m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
n) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight -line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
o) Equity and reserves
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The share-based payment reserve records the value of share-based payments.
p) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group provides drilling services and hires drill rigs and related equipment to the exploration and mining industry pursuant to service contracts with a variety of clients in the sector.
The revenue associated with drilling contracts is recognised in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue from customer contracts is recognised upon satisfaction of a performance obligation under those contracts either over time in accordance with specified units of production (for example meters drilled or hours worked) or a point in time when risks and rewards pass to the customer under those contracts (for example the sale of certain items including consumables).
Dry hire revenue is recognised as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, the Group has an enforceable right to payment and as such the performance obligation is satisfied over time.
For test pumping services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on rates agreed to with the customer (for example activity completed or hours worked).
For consultancy services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on rates agreed to with the customer (for example project reports completed, or hours worked).
For engineering services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on a rate agreed to with the customer (for example MAR units delivered or hours worked).
25 | Vysarn Limited ABN 41 124 212 175 – Financial Report 30 June 2024
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
The Group has no material contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Contract assets and liabilities
AASB 15 uses the terms "contract asset" and "contract liability" to describe what is commonly known as "accrued revenue" and "deferred revenue." Accrued revenue arises where work has been performed however is yet to be invoiced. Deferred revenue arises where payment is received prior to work being performed and is allocated to the performance obligations within the contract and recognised on satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Contract fulfilment costs
Costs generally incurred prior to the commencement of a contract may arise due to mobilisation/site setup costs as these costs are incurred to fulfil a contract. Where the costs are expected to be recovered, they are capitalised and expensed over the period of revenue recognition. Where the costs, or a portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, the amount received is recognised as deferred revenue.
Contract fulfilment costs are capitalised as an asset when all the following are met: (i) the costs relate directly to the contract or specifically identifiable proposed contract; (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the consolidated entity that will be used to satisfy future performance obligations; and (iii) the costs are expected to be recovered. Contract fulfilment costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, or a period of 12 months for long term contracts greater than 12 months in duration.
q) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
r) Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised and measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees' services up to that date.
Superannuation
Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid or become payable.
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
s) Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
t) Share based payments
Share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. Share-based payment transactions are recognised in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, or as a liability if the goods and services were acquired in a cash settled share-based payment transaction. The fair value of options is determined using a Black-Scholes or Hoadley pricing model. The number of share options and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.
The probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions of performance rights is assessed at each reporting period.
The Company has applied judgement in assessing the likelihood of achieving the performance milestones in relation to the performance rights issued in the period.
u) Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Tax consolidation
The Group and its wholly owned Australian resident entity formed a tax-consolidated group effective 28 August 2019. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Vysarn Limited.
Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the taxconsolidated group using the “separate taxpayer within group” approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised by the Group as amounts payable (receivable) to/(from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer below). Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Group as an equity contribution or distribution.
The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.
v) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the assets (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest methods.
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expire, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
w) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other nonfinancial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
x) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
y) Rounding of amounts
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 , the amounts in the directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar (where indicated).
z) New Accounting Standards not yet adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2024. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.
AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current.
A liability will be classified as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Meaning of settlement of a liability is also clarified.
AASB 2020-1 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 (as amended by AASB 2022-6 and AASB 2020-6) and will first be applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2024.
AASB 2022-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
AASB 2022-6 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to improve the information an entity provides in its financial statements about liabilities arising from loan arrangements for which the entity’s right to defer settlement of those liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period is subject to the entity complying with conditions specified in the loan arrangement.Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements is also amended regarding assessing whether information about covenants is material for disclosure. AASB 2022-6 also amends AASB 2020-1 by deferring the application date by 12 months.
This amending standard mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023 regarding the deferred application date of AASB 2020-1 and the remaining amendments to disclosures apply to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2024. This amendment to disclosures will first be applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2024.
AASB 18 replaces AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to improve how entities communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the profit or loss.
AASB 18 has also introduced changes to other accounting standards including AASB 108 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements (previously titled Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors), AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows, AASB 133 Earnings Per Share and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.
They key presentation and disclosure requirement are:
-
(a) the presentation of two newly defined subtotals in the statement or profit or loss, and the classification of income and expenses into operating, investing and financing categories – plus income taxes and discontinuing operations;
-
(b) the disclosure of management-defined performance measures; and
-
(c) enhanced requirements for grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) of information.

AASB 18 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2027 for for-profit entities excluding superannuation entities apply AASB 1056 Superannuation Entities. It will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2027.
aa) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective Notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forwardlooking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed below, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation as detailed in Note 24. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.
Income tax
The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made as detailed in note 7.
Share-Based Payments
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted. The fair value of the equity instruments granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted as detailed in Note 23. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company has applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.
Revenue from customer contracts is recognised upon satisfaction of a performance obligation under those contracts either over time. For drilling services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on rates agreed to with the customer (for example meters drilled or hours worked). For test pumping services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on rates agreed to with the customer (for example activity completed or hours worked). For consultancy services provided under contract, revenue is recognised in accordance with a specified unit of production based on rates agreed to with the customer (for example project report completed or hours worked).
Dry Hire revenue is also recognised over a period of time based on set day rates for supply, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company.
The sale of goods (consumables) is recognised at a point in time when control of the goods passes to the customer under those contracts (for example the sale of certain items including consumables).

==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Mobilisation/demobilisation revenue are distinct, separately identifiable contractual performance obligations and are recognised as revenue upon completion of the mobilisation/demobilisation event, once this performance obligation has been satisfied.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation for its property, plant and equipment. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or other events. The depreciation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Business combination
The Group has determined that the acquisition of Project Engineering (WA) Pty Ltd constitutes a business combination in accordance with the definitions and guidance provided by AASB 3 Business Combinations (“AASB 3”) and has provisionally accounted for the acquisition in accordance with that standard at 30 June 2023. In accordance with AASB 3 the assets and liabilities acquired have been recorded by the Group at their acquisition date fair values, resulting in goodwill of $2,409,334.
Impairment of goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit or units (CGU’s) according to management’s expectations regarding which assets will be expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination that gave rise to the goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on value in use calculations. Refer to Note 26 for further information.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist in relation to the continued use of the asset by the Group. Impairment triggers include declining product or manufacturing performance, technology changes, adverse changes in the economic or political environment and future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Management has determined there is no impairment indicators for the year ended 30 June 2024.
NOTE 3: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of Reportable Segments
The Group has identified 5 reportable segments as described below:
-
Pentium Hydro: Group subsidiary specialising in hydrogeological and dewatering drilling
-
Project Engineering: Group subsidiary specialising in managed aquifer recharge and hydraulic engineering solutions
-
Pentium Test Pumping: Group subsidiary specialising in providing scientific data for aquifer characterisation
-
Pentium Water: Group subsidiary specialising in water management and environmental planning consultancy
-
Other: Includes both Vysarn and Vysarn Asset Management
The Group’s reportable segments are based on the differences in the products and services offered by each segment and the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Vysarn and Vysarn Asset Management have been aggregated in to one segment due to the non-material products and services and therefore, external revenues currently provided by these entities.
Revenue received from the reportable segments are received solely from external Australian customers. The major results of the Group’s reportable segments are consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the Notes specific to that asset or liability.
(i) Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments carried at fair value are determined by valuation level, as determined in accordance with the relevant accounting standard. The different levels have been defined as:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There have been no transfers between levels during the current or prior year.
With respect to specific financial assets and liabilities, the following valuation methods have been used:
- Contingent consideration payable is carried at fair value and has been determined by discounting the cash flows, at market rates of similar borrowings, to their present value. The probability weighted pay-out method has been utilised by Management to determine the best estimate of expected cashflows arising as a result of the arrangement.
All financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value. The carrying amount of all financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value at reporting date.
Financial risk management objectives
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. The Company uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
This Note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Due to the size of the Group, and its low nature of risk with respect to financial risk management, the Board is of the opinion that there is no need to establish a Risk Management Committee for developing and monitoring risk management policies.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Foreign currency risk

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk. The Group is exposed to currency risk on administration costs, purchases of spare parts and plant and equipment that are denominated in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and US dollars (USD). The Group does not use currency hedging for administration expenses as the receipts in NZD and USD are used to meet the liability obligations of the Group entities denominated in NZD and USD.
The use of currency hedging for exposures relating to spare parts and plant and equipment purchases are assessed on a case by case basis. As at 30 June 2024, the Group is exposed to currency risk on administration costs, purchases of spare parts and plant and equipment that are denominated in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and US dollars (USD). During the financial year ended 30 June 2024, the Group did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
The financial instruments which primarily expose the Group to interest rate risk are borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. The Group manages its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings by using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The Directors monitor the Group’s cash position relative to the expected cash requirements. Where appropriate, surplus funds are placed on deposit earning higher interest.
The Company’s only exposure to interest rate risk is in relation to deposits held. Deposits are held with reputable banking financial institutions.
Profile
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s variable interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Group’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Group’s operations.
The Group’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the Group’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity. The

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [48 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management within each business unit.
This responsibility is supported by the development of overall Group standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:
-
Requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisations of transactions;
-
Requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions;
-
Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements;
-
Documentation of controls and procedures;
-
Requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the competency of personnel, adequacy of controls and risk management procedures to address the risks identified;
-
Training and professional development;
-
Ethical and business standards; and
-
Risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective.
Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain adequate capital so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.
The Group’s debt and capital structure includes ordinary share capital and loans and borrowings. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risk and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
The Group’s debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
| Capital Management Total liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net debt Total capital Debt-to-capital ratio at the end of the period |
30-June-24 ($) 30-June-23 ($) 24,665,319 27,155,729 (3,731,180) (8,309,432) |

|
| 0.51 0.57 |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer and counterparties to transactions are analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes the use of external ratings, when available. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating at least “A-“. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual credit characteristics of each customer. 100% of revenue is attributable to Australian entities.
Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables are provided below. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed below.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group hold trade receivables that are subject to the expected credit loss model. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Trade receivables
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring the expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward- looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2024 and 1 July 2023 was determined as follows for trade receivables:
| 1-July-23 Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount - trade receivables Loss allowance 30-June-24 Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount - trade receivables Loss allowance |
Current < 30 31 - 60 61 - 120 > 120 Total ($) 0% 0% 0% 0% 3% 10,395,786 10,186,915 208,871 - - 10,395,786 |

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group and failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item. The Group has not recognised and impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit or loss as at 30 June 2024 arising from contracts with customers. The Group’s receivables primarily consist of Tier 1/Tier 2 Mining companies on 30-day net terms with no noted debtor payment issues to date since commencement of current activities.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with a minimum credit rating of AA assigned by reputable credit rating agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| Exposure to credit risk Cash and cash equivalents - AA Rated Trade receivables Total |

|---|---|
| 20,317,572 18,705,218 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risks arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligation related to financial liabilities. Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Company to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows.

NOTE 26: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
No business combinations were acquired for the year ended 30 June 2024.
ACQUISITION OF PROJECT ENGINEERING
On 1 July 2022 the Company entered into a binding Share Sale Agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Project Engineering. Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued shares in Project Engineering for consideration of $4,280,805 cash, adjusted for post working capital adjustments (“Transaction”).
The Company assumed control of the trading activities of Project Engineering with effect from 1 July 2022. The Company paid $2,797,775 net of cash to the vendors of Project Engineering as consideration for all of the issued capital of Project Engineering.
Goodwill
The goodwill on acquisition comprises the operational expertise and industry know-how relating to the Project Engineering business, as a specialised and industry focused hydraulic engineering business that primarily services the resources sector in Western Australia. Further, cash-generating unit is identified on a segment level making goodwill allocated to Project Engineering.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on value in use calculations. These calculations are based on projected cash flows approved by management covering a period of 1 year (extrapolated to a maximum of 10 years). Management’s determination of cash flow projections and gross margins are based on past performance and its expectation for the future. The present value of future cash flows has been calculated using an average growth rate of 3% (2023: 3%) for cash flows in year two to five which is based on the historical average, a terminal value growth rate of 3% (2023: 3%) and a mid-range discount rate of 13.6% (2023: 13%) to determine value-in-use.
Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

ACQUISITION OF PTP
Contingent consideration payable
On 29 September 2021, the Company entered into a binding Share Sale Agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of PTP. In accordance with the Share Sale Agreement, the previous Managing Director and majority shareholder (the “Executive”) of PTP agreed to enter into an executive employment agreement for a term of three years, to lead and grow the business under Vysarn’s ownership. Under the terms of his agreement, the Executive may be entitled to an Annual Incentive Payment (“AIP”) of up to $750,000 across the three year term, subject to achievement of the following “minimum benchmarks” by the end of each relevant financial year:
-
Year one – A minimum benchmark of $650,000 in Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) operating one test pumping rig;
-
Year two – A minimum benchmark of $1,200,000 in EBITDA operating two test pumping rigs; and
-
Year three – A minimum benchmark of $1,350,000 in EBITDA operating two test pumping rigs.
In the event that the actual EBITDA earnings achieved in any financial year exceeds the minimum benchmarks, the Executive may retain the excess EBITDA in that year, up to a maximum of $250,000, for payment in future years over the three year term. At the date of acquisition, Management have assessed the value of the contingent consideration based on the likelihood that the above minimum benchmarks would be achieved and recognised the amount payable in full at the date of acquisition.
As at 30 June 2024, the contingent consideration remains recognised in full as payable given Management’s expectations that the minimum benchmarks for payment of the AIP may be met over the three year period. No amount was paid to the Executive during the year ended 30 June 2024 (2023: $245,017).

Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 2(p), Note 4 and Note 13 of the Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2024, the Group had revenue of $65,682,106 from contracts with customers for its hydrogeological and dewatering business activities and contract assets of $46,156 goods/services yet to be invoiced (accrued revenue).
In addition, the Group tracks a number of costs associated with contracts with customers through its contract fulfillment costs. As at 30 June 2024, contract fulfillment costs amounted to $635,199.
The determination of revenue recognition requires Management judgements in accounting for revenue, obligations, discounts, incentives and rebates in accordance with the Group’s identified performance obligations as part of the transaction, as required under AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (“AASB 15”).
Our procedures included, amongst others:
Understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of the relevant controls associated with the treatment of revenue, contract assets, and contract fulfillment costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to identification of performance obligations, discounts, incentives and rebates.
Testing the operating effectiveness of relevant controls around revenue, contract fulfillment costs, such as the review and approval of progress claims and invoices by customers. Reviewing a sample of material contracts to understand their terms and conditions, including specified performance obligations included within and whether Managements’ assessment for recognition of revenue, contract assets, and contract fulfilment costs under these contract terms, is in accordance with AASB 15.
Testing a sample of transactions by sighting evidence of signed contracts, related invoices and comparing the revenue, contract asset, and contract fulfilment cost amount recognised to the timing of when the Group satisfies performance obligations associated with the transaction in accordance with AASB 15.
Assessing the entitlement and recoverability for a sample of transactions within contract assets, evaluating their consistency and the basis of Management’s approach for determining amounts recognised, understanding and corroborating key assumptions made, and recalculating contract assets recognised.
Considering the adequacy of the disclosures included within Note 2(p), Note 4 and Note 13 of the financial report.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Recoverability of Non-current assets Refer to Note 2(h)-(j) Note 2(w), Note 15, and Note 26 of the financial report
Included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024 is an amount of $37,501,057 relating to non-current assets. This amount represents 57% of total assets. $2,409,334 of this amount relates to goodwill acquired in a business combination.
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets (“AASB 136”) requires an entity to test noncurrent assets where there are indicators of impairment and to test goodwill acquired in a business combination for impairment annually.
The evaluation of the recoverable amount of the Group’s cash generating units (‘CGUs) requires significant Management judgement in determining the key assumptions and estimates, including but not limited to:
- growth rate assumptions; and
▪ discount factors
supporting the expected future cash flows of the business and the utilisation of the relevant assets.
Due to the significance to the Group’s financial report and the level of Management judgment involved in assessing the recoverable amount of the Group’s CGUs, we consider this to be a key audit matter
Our procedures included, amongst others:
Understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of the relevant controls associated with the recognition of non-current assets including capitalisation of expenditure and the identification of the CGUs.
Reviewing management’s evaluation and judgement as to whether the costs capitalised to intangibles are in development phase where probable future economic benefits could be determined.
Testing the operating effectiveness of relevant controls around expenditure capitalised as non-current assets, such as the review and approval of expenditures as per delegation of authority, capital improvement approvals forms and other supporting documentation.
Assessing Management’s determination of the Group’s CGUs based on our understanding of the nature of the Group’s businesses and how independent cash flows are derived.
Evaluating and assessing the Group’s assessment for impairment indicators associated with its non-current assets for each of it’s CGUs.
Critically evaluating and challenging the methodology and key assumptions around revenue and cost projections of management in their preparation of forecast models of the CGU encompassing goodwill and other intangible assets at 30 June 2024.
Checking the mathematical accuracy of forecast models and agreeing what has been provided to the latest Board approved forecasts and performing sensitivity analysis around discount rate and growth rate.
Assessing the Group’s accounting policy and disclosures for non-current assets as set out within Note 2(h)-(j) Note 2(w), Note 15, and Note 26 to the financial report.

Share-based Payments
Refer to Note 2(t) and Note 23 of the Financial Report
At 30 June 2024, a share-based payment expense of $176,564 has been recorded. Share-based payments involve significant Management estimates and judgement in their determination.
Share-based payments must be recorded at fair value of the service provided, or in the absence of such, at the fair value of the underlying equity instrument granted. In calculating the fair value there are a number of management judgements including but not limited to:
-
Assessing the probability of achieving key performance milestones in relation to vesting conditions; and
-
Assessing the fair value of the share price on grant date, estimate of expected future share price volatility, expected dividend yield and risk-free rate of interest.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
Understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of the relevant controls associated with the preparation of the valuation model used to assess the fair value of share-based payments, including in relation to volatility of the underlying security and the appropriateness of the model used for valuation. Critically evaluating and challenging the methodology and assumptions of Management in their preparation of valuation model, including management’s assessment of likelihood of vesting, agreeing inputs to internal and external sources of information as appropriate. Assessing the appropriateness including recalculation of share-based payment expensed during the year, pursuant to the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards AASB 2 Share-based Payment (“AASB 2”) .
Assessing the Group’s accounting policy as set out within Note 2(t) and disclosures within Note 23 for compliance with the requirements of AASB 2 .
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

VYSARN LIMITED ABN 41 124 212 175
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VYSARN LIMITED
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
-
a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
(i) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
(ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

VYSARN LIMITED ABN 41 124 212 175
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VYSARN LIMITED
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
