46、anmade forever chemicals known for their bioaccumulation,resistance to degradation and mobility in the environment.they have been linked to a wide range of negative impacts on human health and stem from a number of industrial sources.SciDevs industryleading treatment solutions can remove all detecti
47、ble pFAS compounds to below the limits of reporting.our FluorofIX technology effectively treats highlevel pFAS contamination allowing treated water to be recycled,reused or discharged directly to the environment all while minimising the generation of byproduct wastes.the result is the most commercia
48、lly viable pFAS treatment solution available on the market.SciDev has remediated over 30 pFASimpacted sites,treating in excess of three billion litres of pFAScontaminated water.Australia currently leads the world regarding the regulation and remediation of pFAS contamination.Both Federal and State G
49、overnments continue to advance legislation to reduce the amount of pFAS our families and communities are exposed to.this has led to ever growing interest in SciDevs FluorofIX technology and has led to in an increased level of client engagement,including Cleanaway Waste Management limited,Australias
50、largest waste management company.Furthermore,pFAS continues to be a hot topic internationally.this year,the uS epA announced the proposed national primary Drinking Water Regulation(npDWR)for pFAS which will see a national standard by the end of 2023 to protect communities from pFASimpacted drinking
51、water.We are also seeing increased regulation across europe including a proposed european ban on over 10,000 pFAS.the growing global focus on pFAS provides a large growth market for SciDev.to capture this opportunity,we have bolstered our capability in those regions and have appointed a Vice preside

180、ples used to determine the nature and amount of remunerationThe objective of the consolidated entitys executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic object
181、ives of the consolidated entity and the creation of value for shareholders.The Board of Directors(the Board)ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:competitiveness and reasonableness;acceptability to shareholders;alignment of executive
182、compensation to business success;transparency;and alignment with proper capital management.The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive.The framework provides a mix of fixed base pay and variable pay that includes both short and longterm incentives,with an
183、appropriate balance of atrisk remuneration.The Company applies remuneration strata grades,with allocations for fixed remuneration,shortterm incentive(STI)and longterm incentive(LTI)applicable to each strata grade.The percentage allocations between fixed remuneration,STI and LTI vary between the stra
184、ta grades,with an emphasis on higher atrisk STI and LTI elements for more senior executives.A relationship between Company performance and remuneration has been developed and implemented,with the STI or LTI component of remuneration delivered on a performancelinked basis,as either:Equity issues to e
185、xecutives,with performance conditions based on financial performance,share price performance and duration of employment milestones,and In some cases cash bonuses,which are also financial performance linked.The Board has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which provides advice on remuneration an
186、d incentive policies and practices and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for the Chief Executive Officer,the NonExecutive Directors and other senior executives.32SciDev Limited Annual Report 2023Directors Report(continued)Nonexecutive directors rem

274、e financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is SciDev Limiteds functional and presentation currency.SciDev Limited is a listed public company limited by shares,incorporated and domiciled in Australia.Its registered office and principal place of business are:Registered officePrin
275、cipal place of businessC/Boardroom Pty Limited Level 12 225 George Street Sydney NSW 2000Unit 1 8 Turbo Road Kings Park NSW 2148A description of the nature of the consolidated entitys operations and its principal activities are included in the directors report,which is not part of the financial stat
276、ements.The financial statements were authorised for issue,in accordance with a resolution of directors,on 29 August 2023.The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.Note 2.Significant accounting policiesThe principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of th
277、e financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below.These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented,unless otherwise stated.New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adoptedThe consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Acc
278、ounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)that are mandatory for the current reporting period.Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.The adoption of these Accounting Standa
279、rds and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.Basis of preparationThese general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Austr
280、alian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)and the Corporations Act 2001,as appropriate for forprofit oriented entities.These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB).Historical cost conventionThe fin
281、ancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,except for,where applicable,financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.Critical accounting estimatesThe preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accoun
282、ting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entitys accounting policies.The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity,or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements,are disclos
283、ed in note 3.47SciDev Limited Annual Report 2023Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)Parent entity informationIn accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only.Supplementary information about the parent ent
284、ity is disclosed in note 31.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SciDev Limited(company or parent entity)as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.SciDev Limited and its sub
285、sidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the consolidated entity.Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control.The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to,or has rights to,variable returns from
286、its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity.They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
287、Intercompany transactions,balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been c
288、hanged where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.A change in ownership interest,without the loss of control,is accounted for as an equity transaction,where the
289、 difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the noncontrolling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary,it derecognises the assets,including goodwill,liabilitie
290、s and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.For
291、eign currency translationThe financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is SciDev Limiteds functional and presentation currency.Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of th
292、e transactions.Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.Foreign operationsThe assets and liab
293、ilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date.The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates,which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions,for
294、 the period.All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.48SciDev Limited Annual Report 2
295、023Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)Current and noncurrent classificationAssets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and noncurrent classification.An asset is classified as current when:it is either expected to be realised or i
296、ntended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entitys normal operating cycle;it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period;or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle
297、 a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.All other assets are classified as noncurrent.A liability is classified as current when:it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entitys normal operating cycle;it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;it is due to b
298、e settled within 12 months after the reporting period;or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as noncurre
299、nt.Investments and other financial assetsInvestments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value.Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement,except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.Such assets are subsequently measured at either amor
300、tised cost or fair value depending on their classification.Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.Financial assets are derecogn
301、ised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset,its carrying value is written off.F
302、inancial assets at fair value through other comprehensive incomeUpon initial recognition,the consolidated entity can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income(OCI)when they meet the definition of equity unde
303、r AASB 132 Financial Instruments:Presentation and are not held for trading.The classification is determined on an instrumentbyinstrument basis.Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss.Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss w
304、hen the right of payment has been established,except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset,in which case,such gains are recorded in OCI.Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.The c
305、onsolidated entity elected to classify irrevocably its nonlisted equity investments under this category.Impairment of financial assetsThe consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are measured at amortised cost.The measurement of the loss al
306、lowance depends upon the consolidated entitys assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instruments credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition,based on reasonable and supportable information that is available,without undue cost or effort to obt
307、ain.Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition,a 12month expected credit loss allowance is estimated.This represents a portion of the assets lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the n
308、ext 12 months.Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly,the loss allowance is based on the assets lifetime expected credit losses.The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability
309、weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.49SciDev Limited Annual Report 2023Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)Impairment of nonfinancial assetsGoodwill and other intangible assets t
310、hat 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 in
311、dicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposal and valueinuse.The valueinuse is the present value
312、 of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pretax 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 cashgenerating unit.Finance costsFinance costs attributable to
313、qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset.All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.Goods and Services Tax(GST)and other similar taxesRevenues,expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST,unless the GST incurred is not recove
314、rable 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
315、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
316、flows.Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from,or payable to,the tax authority.Rounding of amountsThe company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191,issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,relating to roundingo
317、ff.Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars,or in certain cases,the nearest dollar.New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adoptedThe following Australian Accounting Standards and Inte
318、rpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory,have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023.The consolidated entity has not yet completed a detailed review of these,however does not expect any of them to ha
319、ve a material impact on the financial results upon adoption.Amendment to AAS Classification of Liabilities as Current or NonCurrentAmendments to AASB 108 Definition of Accounting EstimatesAmendments to AASB 1 and AASB Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting PoliciesAmendments to AASB 112,Defer

321、,estimates and assumptionsThe 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,continge
322、nt 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 w
323、ill 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.Carrying value of good
324、will and nonfinancial assetsImpairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount,which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from
325、 binding sales transactions,conducted at arms length,for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset.The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructurin
326、g activities that the consolidated entity is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested.The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cashinflows and t
327、he growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.These estimates are most relevant to goodwill recognised by the consolidated entity.The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs,including a sensitivity analysis,are disclosed and further explained in note 15.Recov
328、ery of deferred tax assetsDeferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.Judgement is required to determine the amount of
329、deferred tax assets that can be recognised,based upon the likely timing and the level of future profits and the availability of past losses for use.Note 4.Operating segmentsIdentification of reportable operating segmentsThe consolidated entity operates in primarily two geographical segments:Australi
330、a and the United States.The primary business segment is the treatment of industrial waste.Operating and business segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers.The chief operating decision maker,who is responsible for allocati
331、ng resources and assessing performance of the operating segments,has been identified as the Board of Directors.Intersegment transactionsIntersegment transactions were made at market rates.Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.Intersegment receivables,payables and loansIntersegmen
332、t loans are initially recognised at the consideration received.Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur nonmarket interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.51SciDev Limited Annual Report 2023Not
