Commentary
Company Overview
These results include capitalisation of $0.9 million of software development costs in FY2009 with growth in underlying earnings of $0.1 million. The audit of the statutory results is being finalised for the year to 30 June 2009. With continuing assessment of business growth initiatives, the Board has resolved to not declare a dividend for the year to 30 June 2009. Lindsay Yelland, Chairman of Argus Solutions Limited, states: “Whilst the progress of Argus is encouraging, there is considerable scope to realise the full earnings potential of Argus through implementation of value-added services across our customer base and new market segments. Our key objectives in FY2010 include cross marketing of service enhancements with the company’s existing customers, continue penetration in valuable markets such as the health and correctional sectors and strengthening of the company with continued development of operating efficiencies.” Achievements of Argus in the FY09 year included:
• Improved sales over the previous financial year of $1.8million (approximately $0.2m not recognised as
revenue until FY10), improved gross margins by more than 25%, and reduced operating expenditure.
• Enhancement of software applications in conjunction with expanding customer requirements, including development of centrally managed biometric systems and management of multiple identity attributes across multiple client locations;
• Continued penetration into valuable markets in Europe, including sales with UK correctional facilities and development of strategic relationships with counterparties in the UK;
• Continued improvement of operating efficiencies, online delivery of software upgrades and remote
management of biometric data;
In the past the Company has successfully provided solutions in the airport and border control sectors and is seeking to apply its expertise for growth in these sectors in FY10. These markets provide significant opportunities for earnings growth in accordance with escalating usage of biometric technology for security, business growth and efficiency in international airport, airline, shipping, travel and cargo markets.
The company has received expressions of interest by potential counterparties for growth in Australia, North America and Asia and has been focussed on immediate growth in the United Kingdom where Argus has an established presence with robust prospects.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2009

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General information
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers the consolidated group of Argus Solutions Limited and controlled entities, and Argus Solutions Limited as an individual parent entity. Argus Solutions Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial report of Argus Solutions Limited and controlled entities, and Argus Solutions Limited as an individual parent entity comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(b) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(c) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies continued
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment continued
Page 10
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
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. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and Equipment 9% - 40%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
(f) Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
• the amount in which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
• less principal repayments;

Page 11
• plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
• less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost .
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
(v) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Page 12
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Held-to-maturity investments
These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the Group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the Group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. F

(g) Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investment in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Patents and trademarks
Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life.
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.
Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
(i) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.
(j) 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.
(k) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

(k) Borrowing Costs continued
Page 14
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(l) Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the adjusted profit for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(m) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

(m) Revenue continued
Page 15
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
Investment property revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over a period of lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment.
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(o) Principals of Consolidation
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
A controlled entity is an entity over which Argus Solutions Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.
(p) Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charges as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

(q) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:
• assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
• income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
• retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

28 Financial instruments
(a) Interest Rate Risk
(i) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis
The consolidated group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
Weighted Average Effective Interest
Rate Floating Interest Rate Non-interest Bearing
2009 %
2008 %
2009 $

Total Financial Assets 88,595 542,106 - 231,128

2008 $
Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 88,595 12,632 Receivables - 760,603
Total Financial Assets 88,595 773,235
Financial Liabilities: Trade and sundry payables 1,185,630 556,992
Total Financial Liabilities 1,185,630 556,992
(b) Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date 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.
(c) Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.

(d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages risk through the following mechanisms:
• preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financial activities
• using derivatives that are only traded in highly liquid markets
• monitoring undrawn credit facilities
• obtaining funding from a variety of sources
• maintaining a reputable credit risk profile
• managing credit risk related to financial assets
• investing only in surplus cash with major financial institutions
• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets
29 Segment Reporting
(a) Industry and location
The company operates primarily in the biometrics identification and solutions market. All of the company's operations, assets and employees are located in Australia.
(b) Accounting Policies
Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories, intangibles, and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment liabilities consist principally of payables, employee benefits, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings. Segment assets and liabilities do not include deferred income taxes.

30 Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realisation of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realise the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
The company has a net loss of $314,449 in the year ended 30 June 2009. Further, the company has a working capital deficit of $716,615 as at balance date, which may not be sufficient to support current operating levels beyond the next 6 months.
The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate a net cash flow from operations over the next 6 months, to raise funds from sale of assets, or to obtain further capital contributions from shareholders, sufficient to meet current and future obligations.
Management is pursuing various strategies to address this situation and achieve a positive cash flow over the next 6 months from a net inflow of cash from operations and other capital management initiatives.
In reaching this conclusion Directors considered the company’s trading position in relation to its cash reserves and noted:
• the company has no institutional debt exposure;
• there is expressed continuing support from investors;
• the trading forecasts provided by management for future sales and collection of receivables; and
• initiatives in place to expand sales into off-shore markets.
If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.
31 Events After the Balance Sheet Date
In July 2009 the company received funding support in the form of a loan from Mr Michael Richards, a UK based investor who is looking to assist the company to expand its sales operations into the United Kingdom and Europe.
The terms of the loan are:
• Lender provided GBP200,000.
• Total amount is to be repaid no later than 31 July 2010
• The company may elect to repay the principle in a lump sum or by instalments.
• Interest is calculated on the first day of each month, being 1.25% of the outstanding amount.
• Income derived in the UK is deposited in an escrow account.
• The Lender has a fixed and floating charge over all intellectual property rights of the company.
