bioMD Limited | Annual Report 2007

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Welcome to the fourth Annual Report of bioMD Limited (bioMD), I am pleased to give you an update on the continued successful developments of the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

Our focus during this period has been on the continuation of pre-clinical trials of the ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process and preparing for commencement of our first human clinical trial. The approval from the Ethics Committee at Bloemfontein Hospital to commence a Phase II human clinical trial using cardiovascular patches treated with the ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process is an important step in the commercialisation of this technology. Full details of the human clinical trial are reported in the Review of Operations Report later in the Annual Report.

During the year bioMD acquired an additional 26.32% of the company that owns the intellectual property for the ADAPT process, increasing its shareholding to 76.32%.

Over the last 12 months a number of pre-clinical trials using the ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process have been successfully conducted. The results are also in the Review of Operations Report.

The ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process has applications in a number of different surgical disciplines and the Company is continuing to explore these opportunities, both with scientific research and in discussions with surgeons involved in the various surgical specialties.

Patents have been lodged for the ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process in a number of countries and the applications are currently pending.

the Society for Heart Valve Disease’s Biennial Meeting in New York in June 2007. This is indicative of the high level of interest that the world’s leading experts in heart valve disease have towards the major contribution our ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process and the impact it is having in the development of more durable tissue heart valves and cardiovascular repair device advancements in the cardiovascular medical discipline.

Our collaboration with CSIRO for the development of a new design and material for use in the manufacture of intravenous (IV) catheters, vascular access devices and other injection therapy products entered its third year. Whilst there have been some revisions to this project’s original charter, it continues to move forward towards lodgement of a patent, which will give bioMD the exclusive right to negotiate a worldwide licence for the use of the product in the IV catheter and vascular access device markets for a period of 15 years.

A critical economic and commercialisation assessment of our injection therapy products through the Design Review stages of our Quality Assurance system resulted in the decision to progress only the Prefilled Syringe and to place the POP Safety Injection needle on care and maintenance.

Financial Results

The operating loss after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2007 amounted to $2.2 million for the consolidated entity, compared to the previous year’s loss of $1.2 million. The result for this year was impacted by an asset impairment charge amounting to $1.3 million. The write-down of intangible assets, as required by accounting standards in no way reflects the Directors’ opinion as to the future potential of the ADAPT technology.

Revenues are derived from interest income on funds on deposit and the administration costs have been closely monitored during the 2006/07 financial year.

On behalf of my fellow Directors, I would like to thank our shareholders for your continued support of the Company over the past year and your encouragement as we move forward to what promises to be an exciting period. I invite your participation at this year’s Annual General Meeting, which is to be held on Tuesday 13 November 2007 at The Terrace Room, Chifley on the Terrace Hotel, 185 St Georges Terrace, Perth commencing at 11.00 am.

Finally, the Board would like to thank our Management, staff and the advisory team for their commitment and continued support over the past twelve months.

Review of Operations

Review of Operations

Introduction

The ADAPT Advanced Tissue Process (ADAPT) is used to process bovine, kangaroo and porcine natural tissue substrates to produce a durable bioimplant.

The bioimplant currently being used in our clinical trials is bovine pericardial tissue that provides a collagen scaffold for host cells to regenerate and provide support to weakened or damaged human tissues.

ADAPT bioimplants can be used in the following surgical specialties:

3. Cardiovascular

ADAPT treated bovine bioimplant patches will be used in a Phase II human clinical trial for the repair of internal heart deformities, such as septal heart defects (holes in the internal heart walls), outflow tract deformities of the aorta and various other structural defects of the heart.

These defects are the result of congenital heart disease that is found predominantly in children and young adults.

4. Orthopaedics

1. Abdominal

Bioimplant materials are used in the abdominal area of the body to repair or replace damaged human tissue structures.

and support the pelvic organs, particularly in women after childbirth.

They are also used in a variety of hernia repairs and in supporting structures to prevent incontinence. These are developing markets for the use of biomaterial patches and strips instead of synthetic materials that are causing increasing concern to clinicians because of their propensity to become fibrotic and non-compliant.

2. Heart Valves

Fabricated stented tissue heart valves have their valve leaflets made from some form of biomaterial – usually bovine pericardium. It is treated to produce leaflets that will last as long as possible. Tissue heart valves account for 60-70% of the total heart valve market and their use is growing by 11% per year.

The ADAPT process produces tissue heart valve leaflets that are durable, anti-calcific and regenerative. These attributes are highly sought after by heart valve manufacturers around the world.

There is also a growing move towards new, minimally invasive methods of heart valve replacement. These new methods will, over time, revolutionise heart valve replacement and with the ADAPT process technology, bioMD is well placed to take advantage of this nonsurgical replacement of heart valves.

The ADAPT process is undergoing pre-clinical trials in the processing of biomaterials that can be used for surgical repair of soft tissue structures such as the rotator cuff in the shoulder and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee.

With current arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation it is now possible to facilitate these repairs using minimally invasive techniques that are proving to have lasting functionality. These types of orthopaedic repairs require additional tissue to restore function and, in these instances, a quality bioimplant needs to be used to effect the repairs.

5. Plastic Surgery

During the latter part of calendar year 2007 work will begin on determining the use of our ADAPT process in the production of a dermal filler for the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery markets. The dermal filler market represents a significant global market for our process, as all current products have limited durability and have to be replaced within relatively short time periods. A dermal filler that will last and regenerate into living host tissue will present the Company with a significant marketing opportunity.

We know that our bioimplant patch material treated with the ADAPT process will have a role to play in various plastic and reconstructive procedures as well as post mastectomy reconstructions. There is also the possibility for our bioimplants to be used in wound and burn care.

Clinical Studies

Pre-clinical Trials

  1. ADAPT Treated Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patches in the Jugular Position Purpose

Large animal trial to compare 0.05% with 0.2% glutaraldehyde crosslinking using ADAPT treated bovine tissue. The ADAPT treated patches and arterial grafts were implanted for 150 days and replaced part of the animal’s own jugular veins.

The Results

Explanted patches tested positive for Factor VIII, Vimentin and Alpha Actin. A positive test for Smooth muscle Alpha Actin indicates the remodelling of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts.

Conclusion

the periphery, with no inflammatory cells. It was noted that the infiltration of fibroblasts with 0.2% is much slower than 0.05%, and the presence of fibroblasts in the centre of the patch crosslinked with 0.05% indicates the tissue could be used in vascular surgery.

  1. ADAPT Treated Kangaroo and Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patches and Kangaroo Carotid Artery Grafts

Purpose

but not limited to the manufacture of medical devices such as heart valve leaflets and an “off-the-shelf” Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG). The ADAPT treated patches and arterial grafts were implanted for 200 days and replaced part of the animal’s own carotid arteries and jugular veins.

The Results

levels of fibroblast cell infiltration and showed no signs of calcification. As with previous trials, there was significant evidence of endothelial cell and new capillary formation.

In the same trial ADAPT treated kangaroo carotid artery grafts showed similar results to those of the patches. These grafts could have the potential to produce an “off-the-shelf” CABG. The use of such grafts would replace the need for the harvesting of the patient’s own saphenous vein or mammary artery that are currently used as replacement grafts.

Conclusion

reduces calcification and increases the durability of bioimplants.

3. Comparative Patch Study

Purpose

A comparative study of two commercially available biomaterial patches and an ADAPT treated biomaterial patch, conducted over an extended implantation time of 24 weeks.

The Results

ADAPT Tissue Engineered Patch

Histology of the ADAPT treated pericardial patches showed advanced signs of angiogenesis inside the implant matrix (development of neocapillaries with circulating red blood cells) and adipogenesis (development of adipose – fat tissue). Host tissue fibroblasts infiltrated and migrated throughout the full thickness of the implant matrix. The edges of the implant were free from any dense layers of fibrous tissue.

Commercially Available Patch A:

Histology revealed the presence of a few multinucleated foreign body giant cells as well as the development of a dense layer of fibrous tissue on the side of the implant. Infiltration by host fibroblasts was limited mostly to the edges of the patch.

Conclusion

This trial and others conducted over a seven year period have helped establish that the proprietary ADAPT technology produces biomaterials which are:

  • Highly durable and compatible with their host tissue;

  • Both pliable and supple and can remodel within the host.

Review of Operations (continued)

Human Clinical Trial

During the year executives of the Company traveled to South Africa to meet with Cardiothoracic Surgeons to commence discussions in relation to a human clinical trial using ADAPT treated cardiovascular patches.

Meetings with representatives of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Universitas Hospital in Bloemfontein resulted in agreement for a fifty patient Phase II human clinical trial.

An application for ethical review to conduct a human clinical trial in South Africa was submitted to the Ethics Committee of the Universitas Hospital in Bloemfontein. Approval from the Ethics Committee has now been received for a Phase II human clinical trial of patients suffering from heart deformities that require surgical reconstruction using a biomaterial patch.

The “Assessment of the ADAPT bovine pericardial patch in cardiac repair procedures” trial will be co-ordinated by Professor Francis Smit, Head of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Free State. Fifty patients (paediatric and adult) will participate. Clinical follow-up will continue with each patient for a period of twelve months post operatively. In addition, selected patients will undergo echocardiograph and MRI procedures during the follow-up period.

This is a very exciting step in the development of the ADAPT process, and will enable the Company to focus on delivering significant shareholder value through completion of a Phase II human clinical trial.

Ongoing R&D

Pre-clinical trials will continue with long-term implants in small animal models.

We have also scheduled a series of pre-clinical animal trials during 2007/08 to further evaluate the ADAPT process with tissues that will be used in the surgical disciplines of Orthopaedics and Plastic Surgery. The tissues will include bovine peritoneum and kangaroo tendons.

Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors of bioMD Ltd strongly supports good corporate governance. The Board agrees with the “ Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations ” developed by the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Given the size and nature of the Company, however, the Directors have modified the best practice standards as laid down by the ASX.

depart from the ASX recommendations.

Structure and Role of the Board of Directors

The Board is responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Company and takes ultimate responsibility for corporate governance matters. The Board guides and monitors the business of the Company on behalf of shareholders, by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. The Board is responsible for setting corporate direction, defining policies and monitoring the business of the Company to ensure that it is conducted appropriately and in the best interests of shareholders.

The Board’s key objectives are to:

  • increase shareholder value within an appropriate framework which safeguards the rights and interests of the Company’s shareholders; and

  • ensure the Company is properly managed.

The primary responsibilities of the Board are set out in a written policy and include:

  • supervising the Company’s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed;

  • approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures;

  • financial statements;

  • overseeing corporate governance of the Company, including conducting regular reviews of the balance of responsibilities within the Company to ensure division of functions remain appropriate to the needs of the Company; and

  • nominating and monitoring the Company’s external auditors.

The Board evaluates these policies on an on-going basis.

to augment the capabilities of the Board.

As at the date of this report, the Company has three directors; one non-executive independent Chairperson, a Managing Director and one Executive Director.

Directors are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. Mr R. N. Scott is considered to meet the independence criteria. Although the Company does not have a majority of independent directors, the Board considers that the current composition of the Board best suits the Company’s present activities and level of operations, and includes an appropriate mix of skills and expertise relevant to the Company’s business.

The Board will monitor the non-executive and independent representation on the Board within the constraints of prudent management practice.

14 bioMD Limited | Annual Report 2007

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Board Committees

The Company has established an Audit Committee, which meets generally twice a year. Its role is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for the Company’s financial reporting, audit, internal control and financial risks. The Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors are usually in attendance at Audit Committee meetings by invitation.

Mr Scott is the sole member of the Audit Committee. Therefore, the composition of the Company’s Audit Committee is less than the minimum three member composition required under the best practice recommendations.

The Board considers that the current structure of the Audit Committee is appropriate given the current size and structure of the Company. Mr Scott possesses the requisite financial expertise necessary to effectively carry out the Audit Committee’s mandate and Mr Scott is able to seek external advice on industry-related aspects in carrying out his duties on the Audit Committee.

Currently, a separate Nomination Committee has not been formed. The Board considers that based on the Company’s stage of development, no benefits or efficiencies are to be gained by delegating this function to a separate committee. The full Board carries out the duties of a Nomination Committee.

Board.

Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct which provides guidance to directors and employees on the standards of behaviour expected in the discharge of their duties on behalf of the Company. The Code is based on respect for the law and acting accordingly, dealing with conflicts of interest appropriately and requires business affairs to be conducted ethically and with integrity.

ensuring that directors are properly briefed for meetings and in all matters relevant to their roles and responsibilities.

The Managing Director and Company Secretary are responsible for implementing the Company’s strategies, funding and operating plans and company policies.

With the prior approval of the Chairman, Directors have the right, in connection to their duties to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

The Board has adopted a written securities trading policy that applies to all Directors and employees. Trading in the Company securities is prohibited whilst in possession of price sensitive information. The Company Secretary must be notified of any proposed transaction.

Safeguard Integrity of Financial Reporting

The Audit Committee is described in the section titled “Board Committees”.

Secretary of the Company providing certain representations to the Board as follows:

  • condition and operational results, and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; and

  • the statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control that is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

15

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Timely and Balanced Disclosure

The Company has a continuous disclosure policy which aims to ensure timely compliance with the Company’s obligations under the ASX Listing Rules. Given the small size of the Board of Directors, all material announcements are approved for release by the Managing Director. The Company is committed to promoting investor confidence and ensuring that shareholders and the market have equal access to information and are provided with timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company.

In addition to periodic reporting, the Company ensures that all relevant information concerning the Company is available on its website.

Communications with Shareholders

The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are kept informed of all major developments affecting the Company.

Information is communicated to shareholders as follows:

  • regular announcements to the ASX;

  • copies of all announcements, reports and topical information are posted to the website;

  • newsletters are sent to shareholders periodically, providing an update of activities;

  • the Chairman of the Company also provides the opportunity for shareholders to ask questions at Annual General Meetings (“AGM”) and manages the question period to allow the maximum number of shareholders to do so;

  • the Company’s auditor attends the AGM and is also available to answer any questions on audit matters.

Recognise and Manage Risk

The Board is responsible for ensuring that there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. The Company has developed a framework for risk management, which covers financial, operational and organisational risks. Given the small number of directors on the Board, oversight of the risk management system is retained as a full Board function. There is no formal internal control function as the Company is not of a size to warrant the implementation of a separate internal control function.

Performance Enhancement

The Board annually self assesses its collective performance and reviews each Director’s attendance at and involvement in Board meetings, their performance and other matters identified by the Board or other Directors. The Board has not formalised measures of a Director’s performance.

following their last election. Where eligible, a Director may stand for re-election.

Remuneration

Remuneration Committee responsibilities are carried out by the full Board. Due to the size of the Company, a separate remuneration committee has not been established. The Board determines the level of remuneration for Directors based on the provision of services to the Company. Remuneration levels are set with reference to industry and market conditions and with regard to the size, nature and volume of operations and overall market capitalisation of the Company.

Details of the Company’s remuneration policy is set out in the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report.

Interests of Stakeholders

The Board has adopted a Corporate Code of Conduct which requires a high level of ethical behaviour for all Directors and employees of the Company. The Code provides for a mechanism for employees to report breaches of the Code without fear of retribution.

For the year ended 30 June 2007

have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financials statements for bioMD Limited (the ‘Company’) and the consolidated entity consisting of bioMD Limited and its subsidiary (‘Group’).

(a) Basis of preparation

the Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASB’), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Compliance with AIFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of bioMD Limited comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

30 June 2007 and the results of its subsidiary for the year then ended. bioMD Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

A subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group.

Inter-company balances, transactions and unrealised gains of transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

All intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the consolidated entity’s interest in the entity with adjustments made to the ‘Investment in associates’ and ‘Share of associates net profit’ accounts.

Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed or sold by the associate or, if not consumed or sold by the associate, when the consolidated entity’s interest in such entity is disposed of.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007

(c) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognized directly in equity.

initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

(d) Revenue recognition

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Lease income

Lease income from operating leases is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Owned Assets

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred at the date of acquisition plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation / Amortisation

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate cost over the estimated useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives for each class of assets in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • Plant and equipment 3 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount, these are included in the income statement.

(f) Intangible assets

Intellectual property

cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

33

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007

(f) Intangible assets (Continued)

Patents

expected benefit. Currently the patents have an indefinite life.

Research and development

understanding, is recognised in the income statement as expenditure when it is incurred.

for the production of new or substantially improved products or services before the start of commercial production or use, is capitalised if the product or service is technically and commercially feasible and adequate resources are available to complete the development. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overhead. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. To date no development costs have been capitalised.

(g) Impairment of assets

more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(h) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary difference arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply then the deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

bioMD Limited and its Australian controlled entity has not implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts.

parent company investment in a subsidiary. The parent entity investment in subsidiary is carried at cost.

(k) Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Trade accounts payable are unsecured and are normally paid within thirty days of recognition.

(l) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially measured at the principal amount. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

(m) Segment reporting

subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

The Group operates in two primary business segments, located in Australia:

  • the development of tissue engineering technology; and

  • the development and commercialisation of medical therapy products.

(n) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.

(o) Employee benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for salaries and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long service leave

expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

35

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007

The Group makes statutory superannuation guarantee contributions in respect of each employee to their nominated complying superannuation plan. In certain circumstances, pursuant to an employee’s employment contract the Group may also make salary sacrifice superannuation contributions in addition to the statutory guarantee contribution.

Contributions to the employees’ superannuation plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

Share based payments

The fair value of options granted under the ESOP is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised on that date.

The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price and expected price volatility of the underlying shares, the expected yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

(p) Operating leases

operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement in a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases, where the Group is lessor is recognised in income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

(q) Contributed equity

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(r) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

(s) Accounting estimates and judgements

Estimated and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

Share-based payment transactions

The cost of share based payments to employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined with assistance of an external valuer, using the Black-Scholes formula, taking into accounts the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2007

Impairment Testing

best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data. Critical estimates relating to impairment testing of the assets of the group and parent entity are as follows:

  • Carrying Value of investment in Celxcel Pty Ltd and related intellectual property

  • The Directors have conducted an impairment testing review of the carrying value of the investment in its subsidiary, Celxcel Pty Ltd and the carrying value of intellectual property.

(t) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2007 reporting periods. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards is set out below:

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BIOMD LIMITED

Scope

The Financial Report and Directors’ Responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors’ declaration for both bioMD Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2007. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

As permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001, the company has disclosed information about the compensation of key management personnel (“compensation disclosures”), as required by Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, under the heading “Remuneration Report” of the directors’ report and not in the financial report.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report. The directors are also responsible for the preparation and presentation of the compensation disclosures contained in the directors’ report in accordance with the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Audit Approach

We have conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement and that the compensation disclosures in the directors’ report comply with Accounting Standard AASB 124. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgment, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company’s and the consolidated entity’s financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows and whether the compensation disclosures in the directors’ report comply with Accounting Standard AASB 124.

58 bioMD Limited | Annual Report 2007

Independent Auditors Report

==> picture [152 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report and the compensation disclosures in the directors’ report, and

  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

The independence declaration given to the directors in accordance with section 307C would be in the same terms if it had been given at the date of this report.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion:

  1. The financial reports of bioMD Limited and are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  2. (a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s and the group’s financial position as at 30 June 2007 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  3. (b) complying with Accounting Standards in Australia including the Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

  4. The remuneration disclosures that are contained in the directors’ report comply with Accounting Standard AASB 124 and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Dated at Perth on this the 28th day of August 2007.
