Results Commentary
RESULTS
Admedus’ results for the financial year ending June 30, 2014 reflect a productive period for the Company as it continued to establish itself as a diversified global healthcare company with growing revenues. During the year, the Company has continued to build its sales, marketing and operational infrastructure to support the manufacture and international rollout of CardioCel® and to progress its technology pipeline in regenerative medicine and therapeutic vaccines.
Admedus was recognised with several industry awards during the year, including Ausbiotech’s “Emerging Company of the Year” which was presented at the Ausbiotech Conference in October 2013 and the Frost & Sullivan “Innovative Product of the Year” award for CardioCel®.
The overall loss for the year attributable to members was up from the previous year to $6.6M. Results are reflective of the expenditure to complete the first clinical study for the Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) programme in Admedus Vaccines, additional costs incurred within the Admedus Biomanufacturing facility, additional regulatory costs and R&D expenditure for CardioCel®, as well as the commercialisation costs to set up sales channels in key markets.
For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014 Admedus’ revenue was $7.9m, an increase of 7% over the previous year. When combined with additional income from tax rebates and grants, Admedus’ total revenue was over $10M.
The Company completed two successful capital raisings during the period which raised a combined total of $29M. Admedus had a closing cash balance of $19.6M, up from $2.4M at the corresponding period last year, which included the majority of a $1.9m grant awarded in the previous financial year through Commercialisation Australia, an Australian Government programme.
OPERATIONS
Sales & Marketing Division
The Sales and Marketing Division had another growth year with revenue of $7.9M, up 7% from the previous year. During the past 12 months this Division has continued to focus on building its infusion systems portfolio within the Australian market and has expanded globally to build the demand from international markets for CardioCel®. The Sales and Marketing Division currently has 30 employees across the various sales and clinical teams in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific.
With operational and sales and marketing footprints now established in Europe, the US and in the Asia Pacific region, the Sales and Marketing Division is well positioned to grow sales for CardioCel® and our other products.
Admedus Regenerative Medicine Division
The past year has seen two major milestones for the Regenerative Medicine Division with CardioCel® receiving regulatory approvals in both Europe and in the US. This is significant in a number of ways:
European approval of CardioCel®. This was the first approval for CardioCel®, which is important, because it enables the Company to not only generate revenue from the product, but also to leverage the European approval to gain marketing approval in other jurisdictions.
US market clearance. This further strengthens Admedus’ ability to grow revenue through the sales of CardioCel® in the single largest market for the product. In addition, the US market clearance covers a broader range of applications than the initial European approval and therefore provides potential for additional uses in cardiovascular surgery.
The approval of CardioCel® provides initial validation for the product as well as for the core technology, the ADAPT Manufacturing Process.
CardioCel® is the first in-house regenerative product developed by Admedus and the Company intends to leverage the initial approvals to expand its product range in the cardiovascular space and to develop additional products for other surgical applications.
With the success of these regulatory approvals, the Regenerative Medicine division is positioned well for additional growth and to benefit from the achievements of the previous 12 months.
Admedus Biomanufacturing Division
In December 2013, the Company acquired Admedus Biomanufacturing Pty Ltd, which holds a lease over a pre-established manufacturing facility that has the capacity meet the expected international demand for CardioCel®. The Company recently celebrated the official opening of this new facility which also coincided with the first shipment of CardioCel® to the US, which was produced at this new site.
Admedus Vaccines
Admedus Vaccines initiated and completed the first clinical study for the Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) programme during the financial year. The Study was designed to investigate whether individuals with no prior exposure to HSV-2 could generate some immunity against the virus. The Study had a positive outcome, with the vaccine being shown to be safe as well as being able to stimulate a T-cell response.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be held on the 14[th] of November 2014.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Group Overview
The Company’s Mission is to make a difference to patients’ lives. We will do this by bringing innovative technologies and products to market which have the ability to prevent, treat and repair, and to positively influence patient outcomes and improve their quality of life.
Admedus Limited is a diversified healthcare company focused on developing next generation technologies with world class partners, acquiring strategic assets to grow its product and service offerings and expanding revenues from its existing medical sales and distribution business. The Company has operations in Research & Development, Clinical Development and Sales, Marketing and Distribution.
The Group is in the process of commercialising its innovative tissue engineering technology for regenerative medicine and during the year received marketing approval in Europe and marketing clearance in the US for its lead product CardioCel®. Admedus is also developing the next generation of vaccines with a Brisbane-based research group led by Professor Ian Frazer. The vaccine programmes target diseases with significant global potential such as Herpes and Human Papillomavirus.
Review of Operations
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax and non-controlling interests amounted to $6,616,498 (2013: $1,892,406). Key factors contributing to the current year’s performance are discussed below:
Sales for the Company over the period was $7.9M, an increase of 7% on the prior year, with additional income for the Company from tax rebates and Government grants, bringing the total income for the group to over $10M for the year. This was an increase in revenue and overall income for the Company compared to the corresponding period last year and a reflection of continued growth.
As at 30 June 2013, Admedus held 50.3% of Admedus Vaccines. During the year the Company acquired additional shares in Admedus Vaccines to increase this holding to 57.2% at 30 June 2014. In July 2014 the Company announced that it had acquired additional shares to increase its holding in Admedus Vaccines to 66.3%.
1
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
During the year, the Company acquired a company (now called Admedus Biomanufacturing) which holds a lease over a modern manufacturing facility. The facility has been modified to be capable of meeting the expected global demand for CardioCel®. Preparations for production from the new facility commenced in January 2013 and the first batch of CardioCel® produced at the facility was recently shipped to the US for sale.
With the acquisition of Admedus Biomanufacturing and the establishment of sales and marketing companies in the USA, Europe and Singapore, the Group’s employment costs have increased significantly. Similarly administration costs, travel expenses and operational costs have increased in line with the Group’s activities during the year. The research and development and consultancy costs have increased due to regulatory expenditures for CardioCel® and as a result of undertaking the Phase I clinical trial for the HSV-2 vaccine.
Financial Position
During the year the Company issued new shares to raise $29.5M, and at 30 June 2014 had $19.5M cash, compared to $2.4M a year earlier.
During the period, inventory levels have increased mainly due to the opening requirements for CardioCel® in the US and Europe as well as purchases of infusion product inventory received close to year end. Property, plant and equipment balance increased significantly during the year, due to the acquisition of Admedus Biomanufacturing. The property, plant and equipment was recently assigned an independent fair value of $3.1M The intangibles have decreased from $11.1M to $9.9M due to amortisation of intellectual property held within Admedus Vaccines and Regenerative Medicine Divisions.
The current trade and other payables balance increased during the year due to movement of the stand-by letter of credit payable to Arcomed AG, from non-current trade and other payables. The current and non-current provisions have increased due to the addition of new employees and the inclusion of a restoration provision in relation to the lease over the Admedus Biomanufacturing facility.
Material Business Risks
The Group has identified the below specific risks which could impact upon its future prospects.
Commercial risk
As with all businesses there is always a commercial risk that not all customers will use your product, or that competing products are used in preference to the Company’s product. With CardioCel® now on the market in Europe and the US, the Company is pursuing additional approvals in other jurisdictions. Since launching the product, the Company has made good progress with CardioCel® now being used in key cardiac centres in Europe, with a similar plan for the US and the rest of the world. With the sales and marketing of CardioCel® within the Admedus Group, the Company reduces the risk of third party distribution issues. To further decrease the commercial risk, Admedus’ sales teams are working diligently to increase the exposure of CardioCel® to cardiothoracic surgeons globally.
Admedus is also undertaking several R&D programmes to continue expansion of its intellectual property portfolio as well as developing additional products for the regenerative medicine portfolio to further reduce the possibility of commercial risk. The Company currently maintains a range of patents across the various technologies and continues to monitor these patents as well as exploring new patents based on the research and development currently being undertaken by the Company.
Clinical trial risk
The development of innovative products in the biomedical and healthcare industries is inherently risky and subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control. The market clearance of CardioCel® in Europe and the US reduces the risk for this product, but the Company will continue to monitor the risks as it continues clinical studies and product development within its regenerative medicine division.
The therapeutic vaccines are in early stages of development and have a level of clinical risk.
Competition
Across the various markets that Admedus is active in, the Company continues to monitor competitors. The technology developed by Admedus has advantages over other products on the market; however it is highly likely that other companies and organisations may be trying to develop competing products.
There can be no assurance that the Group’s competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are as good as the Admedus technology or more effective than any which are being developed by the Group.
Despite the existence of a general statutory framework in Australia and international conventions which are intended to protect against certain anti-competitive practices, there can be no assurance that the applicable laws will be enforced sufficiently to protect the Group from anti-competitive practices by its competitors or that major competitors will not use their strategic positions to gain a competitive advantage in some future period, whether by means of price reductions or by other means.
2
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Financial performance
To date Admedus has not declared a dividend. The amount, timing and payment of any dividend will depend on a range of factors, including future capital and research and development requirements and the financial position generally of the Group at the time. There will also be factors that affect the ability of the Group to pay dividends and the timing of those dividends that will be outside the control of the Group and its Directors. The Directors are, therefore, unable to give any assurance regarding the payment of dividends in the future.
Intellectual property
The Group’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain adequate and valid patent protection, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent the Group’s rights.
While the Group believes it has taken appropriate steps to protect its proprietary technology, the law may not adequately protect it in all places the Group does business or enable the Group’s rights to be enforced with sufficient adequacy.
The enforceability of a patent is dependent on a number of factors which may vary between jurisdictions, including the validity of the patent and the scope of protection it provides. The validity of a patent depends upon factors such as the novelty of the invention, the requirement in many jurisdictions that the invention not be obvious in light of the prior art (including any prior use or documentary disclosure of the invention), the utility of the invention and the extent to which the patent specification clearly discloses the best method of working or carrying out the invention. The legal interpretation of these requirements often varies between jurisdictions. The scope of rights provided by a patent can also differ between jurisdictions. There can be no assurance even if the Group succeeded or succeeds in obtaining the grant of patents, that others will not seek to imitate the Group’s products, and in doing so, attempt to design their products in such a way as to circumvent the Group patent rights. Additionally, the ability of the legal process to provide efficient and effective procedures for dealing with actual or suspected infringements can vary considerably between jurisdictions.
Regarding the Group’s patent applications, no guarantee can be given that such protection will be obtained by the Group. If such patents are not granted, it may be possible for a third party to imitate and use the Group’s intellectual property without its authorisation or to develop and use similar technology independently. The Group will pursue vigorously both its existing and all future patent applications for Australian and foreign patent applications. No guarantee can be given nor does the grant of a patent guarantee that the patent concerned is valid or that the patented technology does not infringe the rights of others.
The Group may wish to expand into additional foreign countries in the future and the laws of many foreign countries treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from the laws in Australia. Those laws may not protect the Group’s proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws in Australia.
Staff
Admedus’ success is dependent on the skills and abilities of its employees. As a result, the Company maintains a positive work environment and incentives for staff to perform well. Competition for skilled employees can be intense and there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to retain its key managerial, research and development, and technical employees or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material and adverse effect upon the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Likely Developments
Outlook
The next 12 months for Admedus is about continuing to grow revenue from existing products, additional regulatory approvals for CardioCel®, increasing the scale up of manufacturing for CardioCel®, progressing our regenerative medicine pipeline and the continued development of the therapeutic vaccine technology developed by Professor Ian Frazer.
For the next year, Admedus will continue to progress with the global launch of CardioCel®, having now established sales teams in Europe, Singapore and the US. These sales teams are focused on gaining initial use of CardioCel® in key centres across these regions with a goal of increasing the awareness of the product and its benefits over alternatives to surgeons around the world. The Company will also be seeking marketing approvals in additional jurisdictions to expand use and increase revenue. With the continued launch of CardioCel®, the Company anticipates growth in sales for CardioCel® as well as an increase in overall Company revenue in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Company will continue to work with Professor Ian Frazer on the development of therapeutic vaccines. The lead programme targeting HSV-2 has completed the Phase I clinical study and the Company is looking forward to it progressing into a Phase II clinical study later this year.
3
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Business Strategies
The Group’s business strategies to achieve the above goals include:
-
The continued uptake of CardioCel® into European and US surgical centres;
-
Additional market approvals for CardioCel®, including Singapore and Canada;
-
Growing the manufacturing capabilities at the Malaga manufacturing site;
-
Expanding the uses for CardioCel® within the cardiovascular therapeutic area;
-
Continuing product development of other ADAPT products to expand the regenerative tissue portfolio;
-
Progressing the clinical development of the therapeutic vaccines, in particular the HSV-2 vaccine into a Phase II clinical study and the HPV therapeutic vaccine into a Phase I study.
The next 12 months and beyond will be a period of continued revenue growth, product development and R&D focus as the Company expands into global markets as an integrated healthcare company. This will provide Admedus with growing revenue, an expanding portfolio of regenerative tissue products and exciting programmes in therapeutic vaccines.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in this report and the Financial Statements.

Admedus Vaccines is a medical research and development business and operates in the Vaccine Division of the consolidated entity. More recently the Company announced the additional investment into Admedus Vaccines to increase the shareholding to 66.3%.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
A Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration
The objective of the Company’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered and set to attract the most qualified and experienced candidates.
Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced directors and senior executive officers, in the context of prevailing market conditions.
The Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
-
the Board seeks independent advice on remuneration policies and practices including recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for Directors; and
-
in determining remuneration, advice is sought from external consultants on current market practices for similar roles, the level of responsibility, performance and potential of the Director and performance of the Group.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct. Remuneration Committee responsibilities are carried out by Christopher Catlow and Graeme Rowley.
Non-Executive Directors
Fees and payments to the Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the Directors. The Non-Executive Director’s fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Non-Executive Chairman’s fees are determined based on competitive roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
The Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments were reviewed by the remuneration committee to ensure they were appropriate and in line with the market. At the 2013 AGM it was agreed by shareholders that Executive and Non-Executive Directors would receive 7,000,000 unlisted options and directors could elect to receive shares as payment for Director’s fees. In December 2013, directors were issued 628,710 shares at an issue price of 15.5 cents (based on the 5 day VWAP). The Chairman currently receives a fixed fee for his services as a Director.
-
The Company’s Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration package contains the following key elements:
-
primary benefits – quarterly director’s fees.
-
equity – share options under the Admedus Share Option Incentive Plan (as approved by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting).
The Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $250,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the 2002 Annual General Meeting.
No retirement benefits are provided other than compulsory superannuation.
Executive Directors
The Company’s Executive Directors’ remuneration packages contain the following key elements:
-
primary benefits – fees via base service agreements.
-
equity – share options under the Admedus Share Option Incentive Plan (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2012).
The combination of these components comprises the Executive Directors’ total remuneration.
Service agreements are in place for Executive Directors which provide for a fixed base fee per annum. External remuneration information provides benchmark information to ensure the base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base fees are reviewed annually to ensure the level is competitive with the market. There is no guaranteed base fee increases included in any Executive Director contracts. A parking bay is also provided as an additional benefit to Executive Directors.
There are no performance conditions on options issued to directors and employees.

CONSOLIDATED ENTITY PERFORMANCE AND LINK TO REMUNERATION
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined key performance indicators being met. The remaining portion of the bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. Refer to section E of the Remuneration Report for details of the last five years earnings and total shareholders return.
The Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.
USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS
The Company’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 was 10.05 cents per option for Tranche A.

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 included:

-
(c) grant date: 16 December 2013

-
(f) expected price volatility of the Company's shares: 90%

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 10 from 1 July 2013, which has a new definition of 'control'. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 'power' over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. The consolidated entity not only has to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes.
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 12 from 1 July 2013. The standard contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities'.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach is used to measure non-financial assets whereas liabilities are based on transfer value. The standard requires increased disclosures where fair value is used.
AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011)
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard eliminates the corridor approach for the deferral of gains and losses; streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring re-measurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The standard also changed the definition of short-term employee benefits, from 'due to' to 'expected to' be settled within 12 months. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is now discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-5 from 1 July 2013. The amendments affect five Australian Accounting Standards as follows: Confirmation that repeat application of AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards' is permitted; Clarification of borrowing cost exemption in AASB 1; Clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides an optional third column or is required to present a third statement of financial position in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements'; Clarification that servicing of equipment is covered by AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment', if such equipment is used for more than one period; clarification that the tax effect of distributions to holders of equity instruments and equity transaction costs in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' should be accounted for in accordance with AASB 112 'Income Taxes'; and clarification of the financial reporting requirements in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the disclosure requirements of segment assets and liabilities.
AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-10 amendments from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 10 and related standards for the transition guidance relevant to the initial application of those standards. The amendments clarify the circumstances in which adjustments to an entity's previous accounting for its involvement with other entities are required and the timing of such adjustments.
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirement
The consolidated entity has applied 2011-4 from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' by removing the disclosure requirements for individual key management personnel ('KMP'). Corporations and Related Legislation Amendment Regulations 2013 and Corporations and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Amendment Regulation 2013 (No.1) now specify the KMP disclosure requirements to be included within the directors' report.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 35.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Admedus Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Admedus Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
23
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly inequity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it de-recognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Reverse Acquisition
In accordance with AASB 3 “Business Combinations”, when Admedus Limited (the legal parent) acquired Admedus Investments Pty Limited group (being Admedus Investments Pty Limited and its controlled entities Admedus (Australia) Pty Limited and Admedus (NZ) Limited) (the legal subsidiary), the acquisition was deemed to be a reverse acquisition since the substance of the transaction is that the existing shareholders of Admedus Investments Pty Limited have effectively acquired Admedus Limited. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the consolidated financial statements are prepared as if Admedus Investments Pty Limited had acquired Admedus Limited and its controlled entity, not vice versa represented by the legal position.
-
In reverse acquisition accounting, the cost of the business is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary (the acquirer for accounting purposes) in the form of equity instruments issued to the owners of the legal parent (the acquiree for accounting purposes). However, due to the fact that the fair value of the equity instruments of the legal subsidiary (Admedus Investments Pty Limited) was not clearly evident at the date which the control was passed, the alternative method was elected (per AASB 3, para B6), where the cost of the business combination was determined as the total fair value of all the issued equity instruments of the legal parent (Admedus Limited) immediately prior to the business combination.
-
In the separate financial statements of the legal parent (Admedus Limited), the investment in legal subsidiary (Admedus Investments Pty Limited) was accounted for at cost.
As a consequence:
-
An exercise is performed to fair value the assets and liabilities of the legal acquirer, Admedus Limited;
-
The cost of the investment held by the legal parent (Admedus Limited) in the legal subsidiary (Admedus Investments Pty Limited) is reversed on consolidation and the cost of reverse acquisition is eliminated on consolidation against the consolidated equity and reserves of Admedus Investments Pty Limited and its consolidated entities at date when control is passed. The effect of this is to restate the consolidated equity and reserves balances to reflect those of Admedus Investments Pty Limited at the date of acquisition;
-
The amount recognised as issued equity instruments are determined by adding to the issued equity of the legal subsidiary immediately before the business combination, the cost of the combination; and
-
The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (Admedus Limited) but are a continuation of the financial statements of the deemed acquirer (Admedus Investments Pty Limited) under the reverse acquisition rules.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition (refer to note 23).
The group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured longterm receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
24
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity re-measures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Admedus Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Government Grants
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.
Admedus Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary separately account for their own current and deferred tax amounts.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co- ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call 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 an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
Inventories
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out basis. Cost comprises direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
27
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Finished goods
Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale
Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, at least every 3 years, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss.
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Buildings | 40 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 3-14 years |
| Plant and equipment | 3-7 years |
| Plant and equipment under lease | 2-5 years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the de-recognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised, up to the stage of commercialization, when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.
Patents and trademarks
Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.
Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other 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. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities 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.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of 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.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Retirement benefit obligations
All employees of the consolidated entity are entitled to benefits from the consolidated entity's superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death. The consolidated entity has a defined benefit section and a defined contribution section within its plan. The defined benefit section provides defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The defined contribution section receives fixed contributions from entities in the consolidated entity and the consolidated entity's legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions.
A liability or asset in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans is recognised in the statement of financial position, and is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the superannuation fund's assets at that date and any unrecognised past service cost. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from membership of the fund to the reporting date, calculated annually by independent actuaries 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.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, in the period in which they occur, in other comprehensive income.
Past service costs are recognised immediately in income, unless the changes to the superannuation fund are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time ('the vesting period'). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
- from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as 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.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Admedus Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2014. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The amendments add application guidance to address inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', by clarifying the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be considered to be equivalent to net settlement. The adoption of the amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' have been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the discount rate is required to be disclosed. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 may increase the disclosures by the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and amends AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' to permit continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative (designated as hedging instrument) is novated from one counter party to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Investment Entities
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and allow entities that meet the definition of an 'investment entity' to account for their investments at fair value through profit or loss. An investment entity is not required to consolidate investments in entities it controls, or apply AASB 3 'Business Combinations' when it obtains control of another entity, nor is it required to equity account or proportionately consolidate associates and joint ventures if it meets the criteria for exemption in the standard. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will have no impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-6 Amendments to AASB 136 arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and amends AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to establish reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities arising from AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets . The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-7 Amendments to AASB 1038 arising from AASB 10 in relation to consolidation and interests of policyholders These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and makes amendments to AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts that arise from AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in relation to consolidation and interests of policyholders.
Removes the specific requirements in relation to consolidation from AASB 1038, which leaves AASB 10 as the sole source for consolidation requirements applicable to life insurer entities. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments Amendments to AASB 9 to:
-
(i) replace the general hedge accounting requirements to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management activities undertaken when hedging financial and non-financial risks;
-
(ii) permit fair value changes due to changes in ‘own credit risk’ of financial liabilities measured at fair value to be recognised through other comprehensive income, without applying all other requirements of AASB 9 at the same time; and
-
(iii) defer the mandatory application date of AASB 9 to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. This application date is subject to review and is expected to be revised by the IASB.
The Group is continuing to assess the full impact of adopting AASB 9.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position.
Provision for impairment of inventories
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss.
Warranty provision
In determining the level of provision required for warranties the consolidated entity has made judgements in respect of the expected performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the conditions of the warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar products and services.
Business combinations
As discussed in note 1, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks (including interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk). The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments, however, the Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risk, aging analysis for credit risk and at present are not exposed to price risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management and further policies will evolve commensurate with the evolution and growth of the Company.
The Group and the Company hold the following financial instruments:

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The Group does not have any borrowings in the current year.
The main purpose of the financial instruments is to fund the Group’s operations.
It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group are cash flow (interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk). The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
(a) Market Risk
Cash flow and interest rate risk
The Group’s only interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held. Term deposits and current accounts held with variable interest rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not consider this to be material to the Group and has therefore not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure.
The following sets out the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, including the effective weighted average interest rate by maturity periods:
| Note Weighted average interest rate |
Total $ |
|---|---|
| 30 June 2014 Consolidated Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 26 0.3% 30 June 2013 Consolidated Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 26 0.3% Financial liabilities Total |
19,582,972 |
| 2,445,423 - |
|
| 2,445,423 |
Sensitivity
At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had increased by 0.15% or decreased by 0.2% from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the year would have been $29,374 lower/$39,166 higher (2013 changes of 0.15%/0.2%: $3,668 lower/ $4,891 higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
For some receivables in Note 9 the group obtained deposits to cover the cost of defaults by customers. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

(c) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to cash assets and floating interest rates. The Group does not have significant interest-bearing assets and is not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.
The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on an ongoing basis against budget. As at reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.
The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(d) Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and deposits with banks, accounts receivable, trade payables and loans payable. The main purpose of these non-derivative financial instruments is to finance the entity’s operations.

i. Admedus Vaccines Pty Ltd paid a Technology Licence fee of $13,150,000 to Uniquest Pty Ltd for an exclusive world-wide right to commercialise the intellectual property owned by the University of Queensland. The technology licence has been amortised consistent with the life of patents over intellectual property. Griffith Hack completed an independent valuation of intellectual property held at 30 June 2013, which gave a fair value of $6,300,000.
ii. The Goodwill was attributable to Admedus Vaccines’ strong research position with DNA vaccines. Admedus Vaccines have now completed a Phase I study of the HSV-2 vaccine for and is planning to begin a Phase II trial before the end of the financial year, which is aimed at both preventing the spread of the virus and offering a treatment to those infected. Admedus Vaccines is also developing a next-generation therapeutic vaccine for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and associated cancers. An assessment of the carrying value of the Goodwill was undertaken as at 30 June 2014 and no impairment charge was required to be recognised.
Loss and revenue resulting from the acquisition of Admedus Vaccines Pty Limited amounting to $Nil and $Nil respectively are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended 30 June 2013.

i. Prior management had impaired the value of property, plant and equipment in line with their initial strategy of closing the facility. As the facility will now be used to manufacture CardioCel[®] , Admedus directors believe that the property, plant and equipment has a greater value, therefore an independent valuation has been completed by Griffin Valuation Advisory.
ii. Under the lease agreement there is a requirement for Admedus Biomanufacturing to restore the facility to original condition at the end of lease. A provision of $455,000 has been created for the cost of removing lease hold improvements including laboratories and clean rooms based on valuation by Griffin Valuation Advisory.
Loss and revenue resulting from the acquisition of Admedus Biomanufacturing Pty Ltd amounting to $Nil and $984,287 respectively are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the half year ended 30 June 2014.

For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances.

However, based on past experience, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
