CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that 2013 has been another year of solid progress for Anteo Diagnostics and the ongoing commercialisation of our Mix&Go™technology. Our proven and licensed technology continues to gain significant traction in numerous healthcare markets, including in vitro diagnostics (IVD), life science research (LSR) and point of care (POC) diagnostics. Through Mix&Go, Anteo’s aim is to enable earlier detection of disease and assist in the rapid development of novel clinical tests.

Anteo has made substantial progress in the 2013 financial year with the company achieving a number of developments on the commercial front with global healthcare companies and the financial front through the award of a prestigious government grant.

The details of the significant the key commercial events are set out in Operating and Financial Review.

I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the considerable technical progress made during the year. Our technical team have continued strongly along the quality assurance path needed by our industry. A result of their endeavours is an ability to address a broader range of demands successfully and receive greater respect from their peers for the data and reports they submit. In turn our customers are more willing to welcome our capabilities beyond the laboratory into the manufacturing environment.

Anteo continues to be well funded to meet our objectives and following the appointment of Dr John Hurrell to the Board as Non-Executive Director, the company has now completed the Board renewal program which commenced in 2011.

I would like to thank Geoff and our very dedicated team for their efforts in the past year. The Board has full confidence in where the leadership team is taking the company, and we look forward to continued growth in 2014.

I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support in what has been a year of substantial progress in very challenging markets. Anteo is in excellent shape and the Board has every confidence that 2014 will be a significant year for the company.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Anteo Diagnostics Ltd is a company specialising in the development of proprietary surface coatings primarily for the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and life science research (LSR) industries but with the potential to find application in a broad array of other industries. Our coatings, generically known as Mix&Go™, utilise a completely novel approach to coating synthetic surfaces that is based on multiple, weak, binding forces that together bind molecules gently yet firmly. The Mix&Go concept is embodied in a large number of formulations from which the most suitable for a given application can be chosen. The concept is protected by an ever increasing suite of patents.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Our focus for Mix&Go has been on three large sectors of the global healthcare market: in vitro diagnostics (IVD testing), Point of Care (PoC testing) and Life Science Research (LSR). We have concentrated on these sectors because we believe we can resolve an intractable problem that is common to all three sectors.

The Problem

Attaching fragile proteins to synthetic surfaces is often required in modern drug discovery research, life science R&D as well as for the development of therapeutic and diagnostic products. Depending on the – particular method and application, many different synthetic materials magnetic beads, various plastics, - glass, metals, and porous membranes are used. The surface characteristics of these materials vary enormously as do the type, size, and number of biomolecules to be immobilized. Maintaining the activity of biomolecules on these synthetic surfaces continues to be an industry challenge. Standard chemistries tend to damage a large percentage (up to 80%) of the biomolecules attached to the synthetic surface. Damage results in reduction or loss of function of the biomolecule requiring the manufacturer to either use a large excess of these expensive molecules or suffer reduced performance in their tests.

Mix&Go was designed to address this challenge by applying a principle found in nature. Mussels need to attach themselves to rocks very securely and flexibly in order to dissipate the energy of the crashing waves. To achieve this, mussels use multiple, firm stretchy threads, that can break and reform, to keep them firmly but flexibly attached. Mix&Go employs the same principle by acting like a double sided “molecular Velcro” firmly yet flexibly binding biological molecules to synthetic surfaces.

The Markets

Mix&Go is applicable in situations where biological materials and synthetic surfaces interface and consequently has uses in many fields of application, e.g. immunoassays, protein/cell separation and purification, protein arrays, drug screening.

Anteo has divided the markets it is addressing into two broad groups:

  • Core Market – Large IVD and Point of Care companies developing immunoassays for pathology tests; and

  • Expanded Markets

  • Small and medium sized IVD and Point of Care companies,

  • Life Sciences R&D, incl. biotech/life science, companies and large academic and governmental research institutes (e.g. NICTA, NIH, etc.),

  • Other Biologicals; including bioseparations, biosensors, chips and biofilms,

  • Non Biological applications.

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Core Market of large companies promises sizable returns but is slow to commit to a novel technology or product. The value Mix&Go can contribute to technical and economic outcomes is recognized by the large companies Anteo works with. Anteo is interacting with the multiple stakeholders that influence decisions within these companies. The area of biosensors, within Point of Care has proven to be particularly exciting for Anteo and work with a major global healthcare company has resulted in a functioning point-of-care prototype instrument, the development of which had not been achieved with traditional approaches. Following this outcome a 12 month paid Feasibility Study was entered into. This project is considerably further advanced than was anticipated in the project plan. Initial work with a global leader in lateral flow POC testing has lead to the commencement of two further paid projects each of which is expected to result in Mix&Go being incorporated into commercial products on completion of the projects.

The Expanded Markets compliment the Core Market and provide risk mitigation with a portfolio approach by diversifying revenue streams, leveraging capabilities and skills developed for the Core Market and broadening the application of Mix&Go into additional markets in the future. As our skill base grows we are continually being sought to resolve problems for different platforms and applications that are directly connected but in slightly different sectors. The most recent example is in the area of bioseparations, where the use of magnetic particles from existing suppliers is considered to be too costly and the current approach requires multiple steps to achieve the desired result. We are finding that Mix&Go can bring significant savings in this area. In non-biological areas we also see a range of potential applications for the use of Mix&Go in fertile fields such as clean technology.

The focus for sales is international, with the world’s market for IVD products being substantially in the US (44%) and Europe (30%). Anteo has started to address the emerging markets, specifically China, which has a forecast CAGR in IVD of 20%. Interactions with an established Chinese firm have shown significant savings in test development and manufacture, crucial in this price sensitive market.

Anteo is also engaging with Australian companies having complimentary assets to broaden its product offerings.

In summary, the markets Anteo is addressing are large and feedback from partners is encouraging. For a high level overview, market data are provided in the table below.

Nature of Revenues

Revenues per customer for Anteo will vary depending on customer and product types. Based on Anteo’s business model it expects an upfront licensing fee from customers. Anteo’s main source of revenue will be royalties paid on products containing Mix&Go sold by its licensees. Royalty rates vary widely by sector and are subject to “kit clauses” and other contractual agreements.

Market Penetration

Anteo is currently actively engaged in interactions with significant companies from IVD, POC, LSR along with smaller companies from each of these sectors. We anticipate that we will achieve successful transactions in each sector.

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Once these initial transactions are achieved a follow on effect is expected across the sectors. Typical annual revenue from deals in the Expanded Markets can be expected to commence from small bases and grow over time. By comparison in the Core Markets where a single test can have more significant revenues; the revenue earned by Anteo can commence from a more substantive level and grow stepwise when Mix&Go is utilised broadly across a range of products.

The following summary of opportunities sets out the state of activity and rationale for different sectors.

==> picture [467 x 332] intentionally omitted <==

IP Protection

Mix&Go and the underlying concepts are protected in all the important geographies including all of Anteo’s target markets. Claims broadly cover a range of applications that extend far beyond Anteo’s areas of current activity. Anteo's approach is to retain the option to either explore certain additional applications itself, e.g. high throughput drug screening, or create value by out-licensing, e.g. in non-biological applications. Anteo uses a nested approach to provide greater security for its IP. The patents are structured in such a manner that they support each other and are more difficult to break. The first set of patents cover methods for screening and identifying surfaces using high throughput approaches; the second are metal complex libraries useful for identifying surfaces for binding proteins; and the third are metal polymers useful for binding proteins on surfaces. It is envisaged that there will be additional patent filings through the remainder of 2013.

Customer Needs and Value Drivers

The key value drivers for Mix&Go customers are summarised in the diagram on the next page.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

==> picture [400 x 257] intentionally omitted <==

In summary Mix&Go provides a novel way to attach biomolecules to synthetic surfaces that is not only technically superior, easier and faster to use, but also has significant economic benefits for the user. Hence Mix&Go provides a superior solution to customers in cases where technical challenges need to be overcome as well as in cases where economic challenges dominate.

Competitive Advantage

Chemistries to attach biomolecules to synthetic surfaces have existed for some time. These standard chemistries have a number of significant disadvantages compared to Mix&Go and are summarized in the table below.

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Attachment of proteins to solid surfaces is a universal need in the life sciences and diagnostic industries and represents an interesting market opportunity; hence competition in this field is to be expected. What sets Anteo apart are the facts that Mix&Go can be so universally applied, is an aqueous, extremely stable, solution and forms but the thinnest layer on the surface and hence does not interfere with biomolecule– surface interactions (critical e.g. in surface plasmon resonance and other label-free measurement approaches). The mechanism underlying Mix&Go is simple, yet elegant.

Anteo’s business model is one of out-licensing its proprietary Mix&Go surface chemistry and thus Anteo’s revenues are based on a combination of research and collaboration payments, one time upfront technology access fee and ongoing revenues based on royalties . The diagram below depicts how different revenue streams fit into this approach.

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The licensing model is highly suited for Anteo. Mix&Go is not a high cost product to manufacture either at Anteo or at a customer’s facility.

REVIEW OF FINANCES

The Company had a cash balance of $2.62 M at the end of the reporting period. Through the period the Company received $1.16 M through the Commonwealth R&D Tax Incentive Scheme. The Company will, again, lodge an application under this scheme for the period to 30 June 2013 and would expect to receive payment by January 2014. Subsequent applications can be made quarterly and the first application can be made in January 2014 to cover the July to December 2013 period.

The Company announced that it had been successful in being awarded in June 2013 a $1.7 M Commercialisation Australia – Early Stage Commercialisation Grant with the funds being paid over two years.

Through the period under review the Company has been engaged in two paid projects from companies operating in the global POC market. The payments are intended to only cover the fully absorbed costs of the projects thereby leaving the greatest returns to come through revenue sharing of eventual commercial returns.

Royalty returns from existing licensees remain at low levels but, with the announcement by Affymetrix at the end of June that they had launched a further 32 products containing Mix&Go, our expectation is that we will start to see these increase.

The Company forecasts current cash reserves will last through 2014 without any further contracts being executed.

NOTEWORTHY OPERATIONAL EVENTS

Through the period the company has announced that it has entered into two distribution agreements. The first with San Diego, USA, based One World Laboratories (OWL) and the second with a Spanish company, Gennova Scientific. The company expects to commence direct sales of Mix&Go based products in the second half of this calendar year.

We are now four months into a twelve month Feasibility Study with a global healthcare company that is developing a novel POC device. We feel we have made excellent progress in this project and expect that some significant decisions will be made on the future direction of the project well before the scheduled conclusion of the project.

We are currently in discussions with a second major participant in the POC market in relation to two further paid collaborative projects. The first of these is anticipated to take 3-4 months and is expected to commence in mid-September 2013. The second project will have two stages and we will only move into the second stage if the first stage is successful. The first, optimisation, stage is scheduled to take between 6 and 8 months. With success the second, scale-up, stage is expected to take 3-6 months.

Early work undertaken in collaboration with a broad based Chinese healthcare solutions company indicated that we could allow them to improve outcomes on an instrument that they have in development through the use of Mix&Go. We have now received beads manufactured by this company for us to activate with Mix&Go. If the resultant product performs to expectations Mix&Go will be a component part of a complete range of Chinese FDA registered tests. We feel this precedent would have a positive impact amongst other IVD companies that are assessing the merits of Mix&Go.

The “Use of Metal Complexes” patent was granted by the European Patent Office in June. This patent is very important for the protection of Mix&Go and was the final outstanding case for this patent. Several additional patent applications are currently being prepared. When granted, these patents will provide us with rights beyond those currently held and extend the period through which we have exclusive rights to our technology. We anticipate that one of the patents will be lodged in collaboration with another group and will cover a nonbiological application of our technology.

----- End of picture text -----

Structure of the Board

Directors at the date of this annual report and their skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position they hold are on page 17 in the Directors’ Report.

The Board of Directors should comprise a majority of Independent Directors. When determining whether a Non-Executive Director is independent the Director must not fail any of the following:

  • Less than 5% of Company shares are held by the Director and any entity or individual directly or indirectly associated with the Director.

  • Has not held an executive position within the Company within the last three years.

  • Has not held a position as a principal in any firm providing material professional advice to the Company within the last three years.

  • Has no material contractual relationship with the Company or Group other than being a Director.

Anteo Diagnostic’s Board consists of three independent and two executive directors. The Company now meets the requirements of the ASX CGC in relation to the majority of the Board being independent.

The ASX CGC recommendations require the materiality threshold that was used to determine whether a Director is independent to be disclosed. Notwithstanding there are no contracts outside those disclosed in the Annual Report, a level of materiality of 5% of the Independent Directors’ annual income has been set for any non-remuneration based consulting or other financial arrangements.

The ASX Corporate Governance Principles recommend that the Chairperson should be an independent director. The Chairman of Anteo Diagnostics is an independent director.

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors may access or request such information as they consider necessary to diligently fulfil their responsibilities. Independent professional advice may be sought on Company related matters, at the Company’s expense, subject to prior approval by the Chairman.

Directors are required to comply with their legal, statutory and other duties and obligations when acting in their capacity as Directors of the economic entity, including acting in good faith and with due diligence and care. Directors are required to avoid conflict of interests with the companies within the economic entity. Any actual or potential conflict of interest is required to be disclosed immediately to the Board and those conflicted parties do not take part in the decision making processes regarding the conflict of interest.

The Board annually revisits its objectives and duties and evaluates the effectiveness of its performance taking these into account. A formal evaluation was undertaken during the year. Remuneration of Directors, including retirement benefits (superannuation) and entitlements under equity-based remuneration schemes are set out in the Directors’ Report under “Remuneration Report”.

The Directors annually review the Company’s requirements for skills and experience within the board of Directors, and consider the skills and experience of existing Directors. Should any skill gaps be evident, the Nomination & Remuneration Committee will make recommendations to the Board taking into account:

  • The size of the Board will be limited to encourage efficient decision making.

  • The selection process will be formal and transparent.

  • When a new Director is required, the current Directors (with the assistance of external advisors if necessary) will identify potential candidates who have the following attributes:

  • are able to contribute to the ongoing effectiveness of the board

  • are able to exercise sound business judgment

  • are able to think strategically

  • have demonstrated leadership ability

  • have high levels of professional skill

  • have appropriate personal skills.

  • Nominees’ competencies and qualifications.

  • A talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and Anteo is committed to seeking out and retaining the finest human talent to ensure top business growth and performance.

Performance evaluation of executive Directors and executives was carried out during the reporting period and was in accordance with the process disclosed.

The matters reserved for the Board and those delegated to senior executives described in the Board Charter and Company Governance Policies are publically available on the Company’s website at www.anteodx.com.

The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal control system to manage the entity’s material business risk and continually receives reports from the executive team as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks. The Board has received assurance from the Chief Executive Officer and Finance Director that the declaration on page 55 of the annual report provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director and relevant Executives of Anteo Diagnostics Limited.

Remuneration Policy

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Non-executive Directors and Executive Directors and Senior Executives (collectively Executives) of the economic entity is as follows:

The remuneration structure that has been adopted consists of the following components:

  • Fixed remuneration being annual salary; and

  • Short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.

Short term incentive (STI)

Anteo performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, metrics, performance appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the company values. The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-financial measures. The KPI’s for the Executive Team are summarised as follows: Performance area:

  • Financial – completion of agreements, profitability and improvement in share price; and

  • Non-financial - strategic goals set by each individual business unit and holistic companywide performance criteria, including human resources, Workplace, Health & Safety and technical outcomes.

The STI program incorporates both cash and share-based components for the executive team and other employees. The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s pre-agreed KPIs.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares (if any) attained by Directors and Executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the Director or Executive. Options are valued using methodologies set out in Notes 1(r) and 5 of the Financial Statements.

Executive Directors and Executives (Executives)

The remuneration policy of Anteo Diagnostics Limited currently consists of a base remuneration and in some cases the consideration of a short term cash incentive, and a long term incentive through the issue of options at the Board’s discretion. The Board believes the policy is appropriate as it repositions itself in the market, aligning Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executives was developed by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, and approved by resolution of the Board. All eligible Executives receive a base salary and superannuation with options issued at the discretion of the Board. The Board of Directors, excluding Executive Directors, review Executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, Executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executive performance is evaluated based on achievement of

20

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED – CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ABN 75 070 028 625

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Business Plan and objectives set by the Board. Performance evaluation of Executives was carried out during the reporting period, in accordance with the remuneration policy.

Non-Executive Directors

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Nomination & Remuneration Committee determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Any changes to the maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to performance of the economic entity. However to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee share option plan. Non-Executive Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the Government, which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under the Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards.

Anteo Diagnostics Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis, except for cash flow information.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

The Board is continually assessing the capital needs of the Company’s business and addressing the alternatives available to fund the operational requirements of the Company. As at the 30[th] June 2013 the Company had $2,621,072 in cash reserves. The Board believes that based upon current spending forecasts there is adequate funding to provide for the Company’s requirements to carry on its strategic plan and in any case beyond 12 months of operation.

Significant accounting policies

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(b) Comparatives

When required by accounting standards or accounting policy, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(c) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of the services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

30

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

(d) Financial assets

Financial investments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any evidence that an investment is impaired. Any such impairment is reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(e) Foreign currency transactions

All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(f) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

  • i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

  • ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables and payables.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

(g) Goodwill

Pursuant to the adoption of AASB3 Business Combinations (reverse acquisitions), goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of combination to Bio-Layer Pty Limited over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired of Anteo Diagnostics Limited (formerly BioLayer Corporation Limited and prior to that SSH Medical Limited), was recognised as an asset and not amortised, and was tested for impairment. This impairment was recognised in profit or loss and will not be subsequently reversed.

(h) Government grants

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers or resources to the consolidated entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. Government grants include government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the operating activities of the consolidated entity other than the requirement to operate in certain regions or industry sectors.

Government grants relating to income are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs.

31

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

(i) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment is treated as a revaluation increase.

(j) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilized. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realized or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that

32

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill.

(k) Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licenses

Patents, trademarks and license costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Research and development costs

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

(l) Overheads

The Company allocates overheads for the operating entity to their business cost centres. This procedure has been adopted in this period to more accurately represent operating costs of the economic entity.

(m) Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the economic entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(n) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the economic entity, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after assessment, the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired exceed the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity.

33

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the economic entity are eliminated in full.

(o) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under finance lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Leasehold improvements 10% - 50%
Plant and equipment 20% - 40%
Furniture and office equipment 20% - 40%
Leased plant and equipment 20%

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

(q) Revenue recognition

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the economic entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

Rendering of services

Revenue for a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Revenue is not recognised until each milestone has been successfully completed under the terms of the contract.

Royalties, grants and licence fees

Royalty, grant and licence fee revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

34

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.

(r) Share-based payments

Share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value for options is measured by use of the Black Scholes and Hull White valuation models.

The fair value determined as at the grant date of the share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the economic entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

Terms and conditions of Share-based payments are set out in Note 5.

(s) New accounting standards and interpretations

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group.

Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Group’s financial statements is provided below.

Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2015)

The AASB aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. The replacement standard (AASB 9) is being issued in phases. To date, the chapters dealing with recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have been issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2015. Further chapters dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being developed. These will have no material impact on the Group. However, we do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of AASB 9 have been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

Consolidation Standards

A package of consolidation standards are effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2013. Information on these new standards is presented below. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these new and revised standards on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10)

AASB 10 supersedes the consolidation requirements in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial – Statements (AASB 127) and Interpretation 112 Consolidation Special Purpose Entities. It revised the definition of control together with accompanying guidance to identify an interest in a subsidiary. However, the requirements and mechanics of consolidation and the accounting for any non-controlling interests and changes in control remain the same.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (AASB 11)

AASB 11 supersedes AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures (AASB 131). It aligns more closely the accounting by the investors with their rights and obligations relating to the joint arrangement. It introduces two accounting categories (joint operations and joint ventures) whose applicability is determined based on the substance of the joint arrangement. In addition, AASB 131’s option of using proportionate consolidation

35

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

for joint ventures has been eliminated. AASB 11 now requires the use of the equity accounting method for joint ventures, which is currently used for investments in associates.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (AASB 12)

AASB 12 integrates and makes consistent the disclosure requirements for various types of investments, including unconsolidated structured entities. It introduces new disclosure requirements about the risks to which an entity is exposed from its involvement with structured entities.

Consequential amendments to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (AASB 128)

AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements was amended to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements which now deals only with separate financial statements. AASB 128 brings investments in joint ventures into its scope. However, AASB 128’s equity accounting methodology remains unchanged. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13)

AASB 13 does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued, but clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard.

Amendments to AASB 119 Employee Benefits (AASB 119 Amendments)

The AASB 119 Amendments include a number of targeted improvements throughout the Standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans. They:

• eliminate the ‘corridor method’, requiring entities to recognise all gains and losses arising in the reporting period in other comprehensive income

• streamline the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities

• enhance the disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in them.

The amended version of AASB 119 is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this revised standard on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124 Amendments)

AASB 2011-4 makes amendments to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove individual key management personnel disclosure requirements, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent (which includes requirements to disclose aggregate (rather than individual) amounts of KMP compensation), and remove duplication with the Corporations Act 2011. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.

Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 5

The amendments to IAS 32 add application guidance to address inconsistencies in applying IAS 32’s criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures have been added to IFRS 7 relating to gross and net amounts of recognised financial instruments that are (a) set off in the statement of financial position and (b) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements, even if not set off in the statement of financial position. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.

(t) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Key Estimates - Impairments

The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Per AASB 136 value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

(g) Remuneration practices

Remuneration Policy

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Non-executive Directors and Executive Directors and Senior Executives (collectively Executives) of the economic entity is as follows:

The remuneration structure that has been adopted consists of the following components:

  • Fixed remuneration being annual salary; and

  • Short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.

43

ANTEO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 75 070 028 625

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Short Term Incentive (STI)

Anteo performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, metrics, performance appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the company values. The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-financial measures.

The KPI’s for the Executive Team are summarised as follows: Performance area:

  • Financial – completion of agreements, profitability and improvement in share price; and

  • Non-financial - strategic goals set by each individual business unit and holistic companywide performance criteria, including human resources, Workplace, Health & Safety and technical outcomes.

The STI program incorporates both cash and share-based components for the executive team and other employees. The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s pre-agreed KPIs.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares (if any) attained by Directors and Executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the Director or Executive. Options are valued using methodologies set out in Notes 1(r) and 5 of the Financial Statements.

Executive Directors and Executives (Executives)

The remuneration policy of Anteo Diagnostics Limited currently consists of a base remuneration and in some cases the consideration of a short term cash incentive, and a long term incentive through the issue of options at the Board’s discretion. The Board believes the policy is appropriate as it repositions itself in the market, aligning Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executives was developed by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, and approved by resolution of the Board. All eligible Executives receive a base salary and superannuation with options issued at the discretion of the Board. The Board of Directors, excluding Executive Directors, review Executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, Executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executive performance is evaluated based on achievement of Business Plan and objectives set by the Board. Performance evaluation of Executives was carried out during the reporting period, in accordance with the remuneration policy.

Non-Executive Directors

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Nomination & Remuneration Committee determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Any changes to the maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to performance of the economic entity. However to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee share option plan. Non-Executive Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the Government, which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Risk Management Policies

The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, loans to and from subsidiaries.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to finance for Group operations. There are no derivatives used by the Group.

i. Treasury Risk Management

The senior management of the Group regularly analyse the financial risk exposure to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

The management strategy seeks to assist the economic entity in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on the financial performance.

The senior management operates under policies approved by the Board of Directors, risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

ii. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

There is no significant interest expense rate risk as the Group does not have any external debt. Interest income rate risk is managed by placing cash excess to short term needs on deposit with one of top four banks in Australia. For further details on interest rate risk refer to Note 19 (b) (iii).

Foreign Currency Risk

The economic entity is not exposed to significant financial risks from movements in foreign exchange rates as there are no material financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. This is inclusive of both on and off statement of financial position financial instruments. The Group does not participate in any type of hedging transaction or derivatives.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.

Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Trade debtors that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 9.
