Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Commencing January 1, 2024, the Company elected to shift from Australian dollar functional currency to U.S. dollar functional currency and accordingly all internal financial reporting and presentations, to board of directors and executive management as well as external financial reporting and presentations are denominated in U.S. dollar. Following the transition to U.S. Dollar as functional currency the currency transaction adjustment (“CTA”) reserve balance as of December 31, 2023 will remain as is (freeze) and starting January 1, 2024 differences between the USD and the NIS will be recorded under the CTA reserve while transactions with AUD will be recorded as foreign currency transactions under the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss).
On January 25, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance of (i) 133,889,525 ordinary shares represented by 486,871 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), and (ii) prefunded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 389,497,350 ordinary shares represented by 1,416,354 ADSs, in a registered direct offering at an offering price of US$1.55 per ADS and US$1.5499 per pre-funded warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$2.95 million (AUD$4.31 million). Each ADS represents two hundred seventy-five (275) ordinary shares, no par value, of the company. The offering was closed on January 30, 2024.
In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company agreed to issue the investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 523,386,875 ordinary shares represented by 1,903,225 ADSs at an exercise price of US$1.55 per ADS. The warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years following the initial exercise date. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the ADSs underlying the warrants.
Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one ADS at an exercise price of US$0.001 per share. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The information on likely development and expected results of operations has been disclosed as part of the Review of Operations above.
Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.
Risk Statement
The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertantity in the consolidated entity’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value. There are various risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of the consolidated entity’s strategic objectives and future prospects.
Key risks and mitigation activities associated with the Company’s objectives are set out below:
Financial Condition
The Company is predominately in the business of research and development of new products and has had a history of losses. We expect that we will need to invest significant time and raise substantial additional capital before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our products. This additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
Product quality and safety
The Company focuses on safety through active identification and management of safety hazards and operational risks. The Company continues to invest in safety in order to mitigate safety hazards and also embeds a culture of safety into its workplaces.

| Directors’ report |
| 31 December 2023 |
Change in regulations
The Company is subject to a number of regulatory approvals in order to be able to manufacture and sell our products. There is a risk that failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals may prevent the Company from selling its hardware products. The Company ensures that it continues to review regulatory requirements to mitigate any potential risk of not meeting up with regulatory requirements.
Political, economic and military instability in Israel may impede our ability to operate and harm our financial results. The Company may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.
Intellectual Property
If the Company fails to protect, or incur significant costs in defending, our intellectual property and other know-how or proprietary rights, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially harmed. Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements. We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could be costly, time-consuming and limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the consolidated entity are set out either in the respective notes or below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting 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 consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Going concern
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2023 of $6,871,965 (2022: $341,469) and had net cash outflows from operating activities $6,207,518 (2022: $4,468,304). The consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it achieving its forecasts. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the consolidated entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
| | ● | As at 31 December 2023 the consolidated entity had cash and cash equivalents of $12,346,065, total assets of $15,932,621 and net assets of $11,319,588; |
| | | |
| | ● | As at the end of the year, the Company had a trade and other receivables balance amounting to $1,429,209. |
| | | |
| | ● | The Directors have prepared a budget which demonstrates that, based on the above factors the consolidated entity has sufficient funds available to meet its commitments for at least twelve months from the date of signing of this report. |
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Mobilicom Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 31 December 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Mobilicom Limited and its subsidiaries 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 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 de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
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 changed 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 difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling 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, liabilities and non-controlling 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.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Mobilicom Limited’s presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are converted at the rate of exchange used to convert the related consolidated statements of financial position items i.e., at the time of the transaction
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities 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 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.
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.

| Notes to the consolidated financial statements |
| 31 December 2023 |
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will develop an intangible asset that will be completed and available for use or sale, that there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development, that it will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.
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 cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial 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.
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 cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Defined benefit plans
The Company operates a defined benefit plan in respect of severance pay pursuant to the Severance Pay Law. According to the Law, employees are entitled to severance pay upon dismissal retirement and several other events prescribed by that Law. The liability for termination of employee-employer relationship is measured using the projected unit credit method.
The actuarial assumptions include rates of employee turnover and future salary increases based on the estimated timing of payment. The amounts are presented based on discounted expected future cash flows using a discount rate determined by reference to yields on corporate bonds with a term that matches the estimated term of the benefit plan. In respect of its severance pay obligation to certain of its employees, the Company makes current deposits in pension funds and insurance companies (“plan assets”).
Plan assets comprise assets held by a Long-term employee benefits fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the Company’s own creditors and cannot be returned directly to the Company. The liability for employee benefits presented in the statement of financial position presents the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the statement of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss.
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.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
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.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations 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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2023. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Note 3. 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.
Share-based payments
The consolidated entity has a share based remuneration scheme for employees. The fair value of share options is estimated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, on the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions are described in the share based payments note and include, among others, the dividend growth rate, expected share price volatility and expected life of the options. The fair value of the equity settled options granted is charged to statement of comprehensive income over the vesting period of each tranche and the credit is taken to equity, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
Financial liability
The Company measures the value of the pre-funded warrants and underwriters warrants issued under August 2022 Nasdaq IPO & listing. The fair value of these warrants is estimated by using the Hull-White pricing model (trinomial Lattice model), on the date of the grant and remeasured at cut-off date (31 December 2023 and 2022),and is based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions include, among others, the dividend growth rate, expected share price, volatility and expected life of the warrants, early exercise / exercise multiple, capital structure effects and trinomial steps.
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Government Grant income
The Company receives government grant income from the Israeli Innovation Authority (formerly the Office of the Chief Scientist) (Innovation Authority). Grant income is recognised as the related milestone is met.
Fair value gains (loss) from financial liability
Fair value gain (loss) is recognised at an amount that reflects the changes in fair value of the financial liability between the measured periods.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
No allowance for expected credit losses or overdue balances are accounted for in the financial statements.

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Computer equipment | | | 3 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | | | 6-7 years | |
| Office furniture and equipment | | | 10-14 years | |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Accounting policy for 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, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
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. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
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.

In addition, on 25 August 2022, under the U.S listing the Company granted a total 161,017 representative warrants each exercised to single ADS at an exercise price of US$5.16. The representative warrant carrying a cashless exercise option with variable exercise mechanism.
The pre-funded warrant and representative warrant are referred herein together as “warrants”.
The warrants represent financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
As at 31 December 2023, the Group reassessed the valuation methodology applied to the valuation of the warrants, in conjunction with an independent valuation from a third party. The warrants are trading on Nasdaq and based on current market activity, it was deemed to be in an active market. The directors believe the quoted share price of the MOBBW security trading on the Nasdaq represents a more accurate valuation of the warrants based on the guidance of AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement where the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This has resulted in a change of valuation methodology that was applied at 31 December 2022 and is a change in accounting estimates.

Note 22. Equity - dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Note 23. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity’s operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows (holdings are shown in AUD equivalents):
| | | Assets | | | Liabilities | |

| | | | 12,118,428 | | | | 19,912,801 | | | | 809,262 | | | | 32,104 | |
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that future cashflows derived from financial instruments will be changed as a result of a market price movement, other than foreign currency rates and interest rates. The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.

| Notes to the consolidated financial statements |
| 31 December 2023 |
Note 23. Financial instruments (continued)
The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Note 29. Events after the reporting period
Commencing 1 January 2024, the Company elected to shift from Australian dollar functional currency to U.S. dollar functional currency and accordingly all internal financial reporting and presentations, to board of directors and executive management as well as external financial reporting and presentations are denominated in U.S. dollar. Following the transition to U.S. Dollar as functional currency the currency transaction adjustment (“CTA”) reserve balance as of 31 December 2023 will remain as is (freeze) and starting 1 January 2024 differences between the USD and the NIS will be recorded under the CTA reserve while transactions with AUD will be recorded as foreign currency transactions under the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss).
On 25 January 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance of (i) 133,889,525 ordinary shares represented by 486,871 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), and (ii) prefunded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 389,497,350 ordinary shares represented by 1,416,354 ADSs, in a registered direct offering at an offering price of US$1.55 per ADS and US$1.5499 per pre-funded warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$2.95 million (AUD$4.31 million). Each ADS represents two hundred seventy-five (275) ordinary shares, no par value, of the company. The offering was closed on January 30, 2024.
In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company agreed to issue the investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 523,386,875 ordinary shares represented by 1,903,225 ADSs at an exercise price of US$1.55 per ADS. The warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years following the initial exercise date. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the ADSs underlying the warrants.
Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one ADS at an exercise price of US$0.001 per share. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

The rights to options are non-dilutive as the consolidated entity is loss generating.
Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) attributable to the owners of Mobilicom Limited , 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 32. Share-Based payments (continued)
Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF MOBILICOM LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Mobilicom Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion:
| a. | the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: |
| (i) | giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and |
| (ii) | complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. |
| b. | the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2. |
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Consolidated Entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023, 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.
| Mobilicom Limited | |
| Independent auditor's report to the members of Mobilicom Limited |
| |
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.
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 the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability 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 Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 skepticism 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 Consolidated Entity’s internal control. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. |
| Mobilicom Limited | |
| Independent auditor's report to the members of Mobilicom 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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity 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, related safeguards.
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.
