The decrease in net loss compared to the prior period is mainly due to a \$1,539,676 research and development incentive refund received by Weebit Nano SARL (France). The refund was offset against the R&D expenses incurred during the half year.

NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
Weebit Nano Limited (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the half year ended 31 December 2019 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries – Weebit Nano Israel and Weebit Nano France, together referred to as the Group.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in a full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by Weebit Nano Ltd during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.
This consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2020.
New Accounting Standards
The following new accounting standard came into effect on 1 July 2019:
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.
AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments.
A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets (such as property, plant and equipment) and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities. As a consequence, a lessee recognises depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows applying AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows. Under AASB 16, right of use assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. This will replace the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117 Leases. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases.
The Group has applied the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, in which the opening balance of the right of use asset equals the opening lease liability. Refer to note 7 for further details regarding the application of the standard.
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Basis of Preparation
The interim report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Financial Position
The financial report has 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 reported a net loss for the period of \$3,293,618 (2018: \$4,325,784) and a cash outflow from operating activities of \$2,224,308 (2018: \$3,907,567). The Group had a net working capital surplus of \$1,772,761 (June 2019: \$1,522,767) including cash of \$2,071,025 at 31 December 2019 (June 2019: \$1,670,912). The loss mainly reflects the research and development activities of the Group, as well as administration costs.
Management has prepared a cash flow forecast for 14 months from the commencement of the 2020 calendar year. The directors are confident that the Group will be able to continue its operations as a going concern. The directors also carefully manage discretionary expenditure in line with the Group's cash flow.
Based on a cash flow forecast prepared by management, the Group's working capital surplus at 31 December 2019 and the Group's ability to raise funds and to reduce costs if necessary, the Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate.
Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this half-year report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019, except for those in relation to leases. See Note 7 for further details.

NOTE 7 – LEASES
The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.
The Group did not have any finance leases prior to 1 July 2019.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.
NOTE 7A – RIGHT OF USE ASSETS
Right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

NOTE 7B – LEASE LIABILITY
On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 ranged between 10.26% and 10.61%. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the members of Weebit Nano Limited
Report on the Interim Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Weebit Nano Limited and its controlled entities (the "Group"), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of accounting policies, other explanatory notes, and the directors' declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the interim period.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the the interim financial report of Weebit Nano Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Directors' Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the interim 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 are necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

As the auditor of Weebit Nano Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, 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 has been given to the directors of Weebit Nano Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
