It has been a significant year for Admedus, with the business undertaking a restructure of the board and management team, and the initiation of a global review of operations to identify areas for improvement and to significantly accelerate our path to profitability.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT OUR ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2016.

The findings of the review, were presented to shareholders in July 2016 and the management team is currently in the process of implementing required changes. This includes reducing expenditure, optimising resources, prioritising near-market products in our R&D programs, driving sales of CardioCel[®] globally and expanding the CardioCel[®] product range.

Over the last year, we have expanded our lead regenerative tissue bio-scaffold CardioCel[®] franchise into the Asian region, including the approval and first sales of CardioCel[®] in Malaysia. This follows prior approvals and sales in Hong Kong and Singapore in 2015. We remain focused on driving sales of CardioCel[®] in emerging markets, such as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and we are working with our local partner Genpharm to achieve this, with first sales announced earlier this year. Looking forward, expansion in Asian and emerging markets remains important and we will be focused on this in the coming year and beyond.

Activity over the past 12 months, has put Admedus in a positive position for further growth and expansion. We have made a number of strategic management appointments, particularly in our finance, commercial and manufacturing teams, and have structured our sales team around performance and regional growth to maximise returns from CardioCel[®] . The Company has also begun to reshape its presence in the cardiovascular market globally with a particular emphasis on the US, EU and emerging markets. We are significantly expanding our marketing programs to ensure much higher levels of market penetration in the key markets.

During the year, we achieved a label expansion for CardioCel[®] in Europe, which allows the product to be used in valve repair and reconstructions, a significant part of the broader cardiovascular market. This label expansion is expected to grow our market share in Europe, particularly in adult patients, as well as provide important data on CardioCel[®] moving forward. We remain focused on seeking additional approvals for CardioCel[®] globally, as well as diversifying our CardioCel[®] range to target various cardiovascular indications.

Annual Report 2016 3

==> picture [61 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

We remain focused on seeking additional approvals for CardioCel globally, as well as diversifying our CardioCel[®] range to target various cardiovascular indications.

Admedus has one of the largest infusion product ranges on the market in Australia and New Zealand. Our team has been working hard to drive sales, with revenue increasing again this year. In May 2016, we announced a major supply contract for the installation of the arcomed ag Chroma Infusion pump system at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital. The five-year supply contract, which includes ongoing technical and clinical support and dedicated consumable products for use with the infusion systems, will provide a substantial revenue boost for Admedus, further adding to the division’s year on year sales growth.

Further Phase II HSV-2 trial results are expected to be announced in the 4th quarter of 2016. Over the past year we have continued to invest in the immunotherapies business, increasing our shareholding to 72.8% of the Company.

Our manufacturing division, which is responsible for the production and distribution of CardioCel[®] , is progressing strongly and we are proud to say that we were recently awarded ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ and ‘Most Innovative Manufacturer’ at the 2016 Manufacturers’ Monthly Endeavour Awards. Admedus has an active program across a number of projects to improve our manufacturing processes and ensure we are continually improving efficiencies, and increasing manufacturing yields and product margins.

During the year we made important progress in our immunotherapies programs and it remains an exciting area for patients and investors alike. Utilising DNA vaccine technology discovered by immunologist Professor Ian Frazer, we are developing therapeutic vaccines to target Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) and human papillomavirus (HPV). In March 2016, we announced interim data from our Phase II HSV-2 therapeutic vaccine trial, which targets a $6 billion yearly market. The results showed no safety issues and a marked decrease in viral lesions (outbreaks) in study participants.

Admedus’ results for the financial year ending 30 June 2016 reflect a productive period for the Company. Revenue rose by 41.5% to $14.1M and this included $5.3M in revenue from CardioCel[®] , which has experienced consistent quarter on quarter growth. The new supply contract with Royal Adelaide Hospital is expected to have a significant impact on the 2017 financial year, with total revenue forecast to grow by over 50% to $21M.

During the period Admedus released initial positive results from its Phase II HSV2 study, with further results expected in 4th quarter 2016.

We are also taking steps to reduce our expenses and implement substantial cost savings, which includes the reduction of full-time employees by 30% and manufacturing and operational improvements.

Admedus is in a transition phase from “launch” to “established business” and I am very confident that our leading technologies and updated strategic direction will see us become a profitable, global healthcare company in the nearfuture.

On behalf of the board and management I would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support and look forward to sharing this journey with you.

2016 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

2016 HAS BEEN A TRANSITION YEAR FOR ADMEDUS, AS WE PROGRESS FROM THE LAUNCH OF CARDIOCEL[®] INTO A GROWTH PHASE.

Admedus achieved revenue of $14.1M in 2016, up 41.5% on the previous year. This included $5.3M in revenue from CardioCel[®] , which has experienced consistent quarter on quarter growth since launch. During the period, we also had another year of sales growth in our medical products infusion solutions division, with sales up to $8.9M for the full year. Admedus was awarded a five-year supply contract with the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, announced in May 2016, and this is expected to contribute significantly to revenue in FY17.

Towards the end of the period we initiated a Companywide restructure that will result in tighter financial controls, ongoing sales growth and expansion of our near-market portfolio.

The loss for the period was $24M, with a closing cash balance of $8.8M. Admedus received $3.3M in R&D tax rebates during the period and anticipates additional R&D tax rebates in the coming financial year. This loss included approximately $2M in depreciation of plant and equipment, amortisation of intangible assets and asset writedowns on products. We have since undertaken a placement of $10M, as well as a $8.3M renounceable rights issue in the new financial year, placing the Company in a strong financial position as it enters into the 2017 financial year.

==> picture [143 x 143] intentionally omitted <==

Beyond sales, our main focus over the past 12 months has been marketing our ADAPT[®] technology and our lead regenerative tissue product CardioCel[®] in the US, Europe and Asian markets. We have continued to develop new product opportunities and anticipate expanding the CardioCel[®] product franchise in the 2017 financial year. The Company continues to invest in its manufacturing facility in Western Australia, as we look to increase margins and reduce costs and expenses in this area.

Over the past year we also invested further into the immunotherapies business increasing our holding to 72.8%. The HSV-2 program progressed into Phase II clinical studies and the HPV program progressed towards clinical programs.

Throughout the past 12 months, we have remained focused on delivering results to shareholders, but also on ensuring the success of the Company over the coming years.

Annual Report 2016 7

Admedus is a rapidly growing healthcare company with best in class products in significant medical markets.

==> picture [45 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

During the year Admedus achieved a number of major milestones including:

  • An expansion of CardioCel[®] ’s European label to include valve and annulus repair giving us further market share and opening up the important adult market.

  • First sales of CardioCel[®] in Malaysia and the MENA region.

  • – Securing a major five-year supply contract for the installation of the arcomed ag Chroma Infusion pump system at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia, which will significantly boost revenue in 2017.

  • Positive interim Phase II HSV-2 clinical data showing no safety issues and a marked decrease in viral lesions (outbreaks) in study participants with a drop of over 90% in the monthly rate versus baseline.

Admedus also became operationally stronger after undertaking an extensive restructuring initiative to address issues such as costs, commercial performance and strategic priorities. The key objectives of the restructuring initiative were to improve commercial effectiveness and significantly accelerate our path to profitability.

continued 2016 Review of Operations

As part of our new strategic direction we are focused on implementing improvements to manufacturing gross margins and productivity, sales team performance, providing greater transparency to shareholders and tightening our company structure.

We are also focused on addressing all facets of our R&D programs to ensure we are prioritising our resources to projects that are the most likely to succeed and benefit the company and shareholders in the near-term.

Admedus looking forward

Admedus is a rapidly growing healthcare company with best in class products in significant medical markets. With a de-risked profile, a successful product on the market that is generating revenue, and several near-term products in development, we are optimistic about the future.

Towards the end of the 2016 financial year, we initiated a review of the Company’s operations with a focus on accountability and growth in the coming financial years. In the last quarter of the 2016 financial year through to the current period, we continue to reduce costs and focus on near-term revenue growth to create a clear path to profitability.

During this time, we made several strategic appointments to strengthen the Company’s operations across its commercial, manufacturing and finance divisions. In early July 2016, we welcomed Scott Bliss as Admedus’ Chief Technical Operations Officer, who is responsible for expanding our manufacturing operations globally as well as implementing cost and quality improvements at our manufacturing facility. More recently, we appointed ex-Cochlear Director of Finance, Mark Ziirsen as our new Chief Financial Officer.

These appointments will bring significant value to our commercial operations. The Company also made the decision to move corporate services to Brisbane Australia, in order to be more aligned with the commercial operations of the business. As part of this process, Finance, HR, IT and Customer Services will all move to Brisbane to join our Infusion division and CardioCel[®] headquarters for emerging markets. We believe this move will drive efficiency, collaboration and cohesion for the Company as a whole. The Admedus manufacturing facility and its associated teams will remain in Malaga, Western Australia.

Post-review, we have implemented performance measurements for all staff, and our sales teams will be structured around performance and regional growth to maximise the returns from the CardioCel[®] product range and return on investment.

Our aim moving forward is to ensure increased sales growth and roll-out additional products into the cardiovascular markets, whilst implementing our corporate strategy of tighter expenditure control. We believe this will put the Company in a very strong position to achieve sustainable profitability for the 2018 financial year (if not before).

Therefore, in the coming months we will be focusing on the following areas:

  • Refinement and scale up within manufacturing to meet market demand;

  • New product and IP development;

  • New market expansion across emerging markets and product ranges;

  • Further investment and development in immunotherapies in conjunction with Professor Ian Frazer; and

  • – Market expanding clinical and post-market studies.

==> picture [147 x 146] intentionally omitted <==

With substantial cost improvements being implemented, we are forecasting revenue growth of over 50% in FY17 to at least $21M. This includes cost savings of $12M in FY17, which we are aiming to achieve through a 30% reduction in full-time employees, as well as manufacturing and operational improvements that will drive gross profit margin by 50%. We also anticipate that the Company will release some interim Phase II HSV-2 trial results in 4th quarter of 2016.

We thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to continuing to set our Company on the path to profitability and delivering products that can prevent, treat and repair in order to make a difference to patient lives.

Admedus Regen

During the period, the Admedus Regenerative tissue division continued to build on the initial CardioCel[®] product, with plans to expand its range in 2017 for both cardiac applications, as well as expanding into vascular repairs.

After reviewing a number of programs, the focus will be on ensuring we prioritise near-market products that complement the existing portfolio and can add to the current sales and marketing strategy. This will ensure greater accountability on capital spent on R&D.

Since gaining regulatory approval for CardioCel[®] in Europe and the US in 2013 and 2014 respectively, we have remained focused on rolling CardioCel[®] out globally, including launching in Asia and other emerging markets. CardioCel[®] is now approved for use in Europe, the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, MENA region, as well as available under a special access scheme in Australia. During the year we received first approvals and sales in Malaysia and the MENA region, and in 2017 we are focused on undertaking studies that will assist us to enter the Chinese market.

Admedus achieved a label

expansion for CardioCel[®] in Europe during the period, allowing it to be used for the repair of intracardiac defects including septal defects, and valve and annulus repair. This has been an important step in increasing the use of CardioCel[®] in this market. It is estimated that each year there are 256,000 valve procedures in the US, with similar numbers in Europe. The use of CardioCel[®] in valve repairs and reconstructions adds to its use in congenital heart defect surgery.

==> picture [314 x 324] intentionally omitted <==

To date, we have collated extremely positive clinical and pre-clinical study results, as well as real patient evidence to give us confidence to say that reconstructing aortic valves with CardioCel[®] offers superior outcomes when compared to replacing the valve with a bioprosthetic. This includes recent pre-clinical data presented by Professor Bart Meuris at the prestigious 2015 European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery, which showed CardioCel[®] can be successfully used in the complete reconstruction of aortic heart valves, resulting in improved haemodynamics and post-implant remodelling.

This technology produces decellularised xenograft tissue, leaving behind a durable, biocompatible scaffold that can be implanted in the body for soft tissue repair. ADAPT[®] treated tissue can be used in many areas of the body and therefore offers multiple potential revenue opportunities for the Company, including product indications in abdominal, whole vessel, vascular repairs and dura mater repairs. However, in line with the findings of our recent review, we have decided to prioritise our portfolio to initially focus on those products that are near-market and therefore of greater value to shareholders. For this reason, we are putting our immediate focus on progressing a product for vascular repairs (VascuCel[®] ) and on expanding the current CardioCel[®] product range.

CardioCel[®] is the first in a suite of tissue products being developed by Admedus using our patented ADAPT[®] tissue engineering process.

Annual Report 2016

continued 2016 Review of Operations

We have also put some of our other studies on hold, such as our stem cell collaboration with the Ear Science Institute Australia and our post-market clinical trial in aortic valve reconstruction, in order to reduce expenditure and redirect funds to where we will see the highest return in the near-term.

The benefit of putting our immediate focus on a vascular product is that we will be able to leverage off our existing regulatory approval for CardioCel[®] and therefore speed up our pathway to market. The bio-scaffold would have the same benefits as CardioCel[®] in that it doesn’t calcify and fosters regeneration at the site of repair, and could be used in all vascular repairs. We are currently in the process of testing the new vascular bio-scaffold in some pilot clinical programs, with initial feedback positive. We believe our vascular bio-scaffold has the potential for long-term benefits for patients and reduce the likelihood of repeat surgeries in this indication.

Progressing into the 2017 financial year, Admedus will focus on growing its tissue franchise, leveraging the strong data and existing product awareness as well as presenting and publishing data that clearly illustrates that CardioCel[®] has superior market benefits, targeting greater market penetration in the key markets globally.

Admedus Sales and Marketing

The Sales and Marketing division had another year of growth with revenue of $14.2M, including CardioCel[®] sales of over $5.3M and the infusion franchise up slightly from the previous year to $8.9M. During the financial year, the team signed a major five-year contract with the new Royal Adelaide

==> picture [315 x 192] intentionally omitted <==

Hospital for the installation of the arcomed ag Chroma Infusion pump system. The five-year supply and service contract includes ongoing technical and clinical support and dedicated consumable products for use with the infusion systems, is anticipated to have an impact on revenue in 2017.

Admedus Manufacturing

The manufacturing facility was officially opened in August 2014 and has since undergone significant investment to ensure expanded production based on global demand for CardioCel[®] , as well as to refine and develop current processes to accommodate for new products and product improvements. The Company is looking to leverage this investment for continued improvement in manufacturing while increasing production to supply the growing product sales.

During the period we spent funds launching and promoting Admedus, and the ADAPT[®] and CardioCel[®] brands globally, including a number of important symposium and presenting events at major international conferences, building brand awareness of Admedus, ADAPT[®] and CardioCel[®] . The focus moving forward will be to leverage the branding and marketing efforts undertaken over the past two years to continue to grow sales globally, targeting greater market penetration.

We have allocated R&D capabilities within the facility that will enable more valuable product development within Admedus moving forward. We expect the R&D function to provide greater control for the Company in achieving its goal of establishing a portfolio of regenerative tissue products.

Moving forward the Sales and Marketing team will focus on ensuring growth with measurable performance. Working with product development, we will be looking to launch new products in the 2017 financial year as the Admedus cardiovascular product portfolio expands. Sales teams are now structured around performance and regional growth to maximise the returns from the CardioCel[®] product range and return on investment.

In line with its recent review we are also implementing costsaving measures in our global manufacturing and supply chain, with the aim of increasing gross profit margins in manufacturing by 50% in the coming year. We have identified cost savings in packing, shipping and logistics and will be targeting improved gross margins,

better production yields and productivity and overall greater return from its manufacturing operations.

The manufacturing team will also be working with the product development and marketing teams as the Company expands its cardiovascular product range in the 2017 financial year.

In recognition of our manufacturing team’s great work, we were recently chosen as the Australian ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ at the 2016 Manufacturers’ Monthly Endeavour Awards. We were also awarded ‘Most Innovative Manufacturer’ for our work in the creation and commercialisation of CardioCel[®] and the important impact the bio-scaffold is having on improving patients’ lives.

Admedus Immunotherapies

Progressing from the positive Phase I clinical study for its HSV-2 therapeutic vaccine, Admedus has continued to work with Professor Ian Frazer and his team to progress into a Phase II HSV-2 clinical study.

The study is designed to monitor safety and the therapeutic effect of the vaccine, by evaluating changes in T-cell counts, and the ability to reduce HSV-2 viral shedding and viral load. In March this year, we released some initial results from the Phase II HSV-2 study, which showed no safety issues and a marked decrease in viral lesions (outbreaks) in study participants. Further HSV-2 Phase II trial results are expected to be announced in 4th quarter of 2016. This program is targeting a major global market, with 1 in 6 people aged between 14 and 49 in the US estimated to be HSV positive, and no known cure available. HSV-2 affects over 450 million people globally and has an addressable market of $6 billion.

Admedus Immunotherapies continues to work on a HPV therapeutic vaccine, which has demonstrated very positive results in preclinical studies. A HPV therapeutic vaccine is estimated

to have a market worth of over $1 billion with 14 million people newly infected each year in the US.

Admedus will continue to look for opportunities to leverage the technology and intellectual property of the immunotherapies division in order to generate a return on investment and

Admedus is a growth

oriented company that has a portfolio of products, an experienced sales team and a strong balance sheet and financial position. With the latest cost management measures and market metrics being implemented, we now have a clear path to profitability and 2017 looks to be an exciting year for the Company.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Group Overview

Admedus Limited is a global healthcare company with strong revenues through its existing medical device sales and distribution business as well as continued development of its research & development programs.

Over the past year the Company continued to build its sales and marketing across both its infusion business and its regenerative tissue franchise, while transitioning into a cost effective business with a target of becoming a sustainable business with growing profits and returns for shareholders.

As part of extracting value from its technologies, Admedus is working with Professor Ian Frazer in the area of immunotherapies. The immunotherapy programs target diseases across infectious diseases and oncology such as Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV-2) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The lead program has progressed into Phase II clinical studies targeting HSV-2, with its HPV program also progressing into clinical studies in people infected with the virus.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Review of Operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $25,130,410, down 6.3%, and an operating cash outflow of $21.9M, up 2.1% from the previous year (2015: $21.5M). Key factors contributing to the current year’s performance are discussed below.

The income for the Company during the period was $14.2M, up 39.6% from the previous year with revenue from the regenerative tissue franchise (CardioCel) up 94% to $5.3M and the infusion business revenue rose 18% to $8.9M.

During the period the Company increased expenditure in sales and marketing across the North American and European markets as it continues to market CardioCel as the Company moves from a product launch phase into a global growth phase for sales. The Company also had first sales in Malaysia and the MENA region during the period as it continues to expand into global and emerging markets.

Over the 2016 financial year the Company continued to invest in its manufacturing facility to ensure it is able to expand production, and reduce the overall cost of manufacturing, and increase production yield and margins. This should have a material benefit in the 2017 financial year.

Property, plant and equipment has decreased to $2.7M due to depreciation, which net off the increase from additions. The intangibles have decreased from $8.8M to $7.5M due to amortisation of intellectual property held within Admedus Immunotherapies and Regenerative Medicine divisions.

At the close of the 2016 financial year Admedus held 72.8% of Admedus Immunotherapies having increased its holding by 6.5% during the period.

Financial Position

Admedus closed the period with $8.8M in cash, down from the $24M close at the end of the previous year; however the Company completed a placement in July 2016 and is undergoing a Rights Issue to raise a total of $18.3M minus fees.

Inventory was unchanged during the period although this is forecast to rise in the first two quarters of the 2017 financial year as the Company increased stock in its infusion division as a result of its five year contract with the Royal Adelaide hospital.

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 and therefore 100% market penetration is rare. With CardioCel now on the market in the US, Europe, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Middle East and Singapore, the Company continues to progress its global coverage for the product and build market penetration and product awareness. Late in the period (June, 2016) the Company initiated a review process that includes activities to improve the Company’s marketing messaging and bring new CardioCel products to market with a focus to build market penetration and market expansion, resulting in a reduced commercial risk.

Admedus has numerous ongoing R&D and product development programs in both its bio-scaffold and therapeutic immunotherapies areas to further develop the two key platform technologies within the Company. The development of additional bio-scaffold products highlights the quality of the platform technology, as well as reducing the commercial risk by having an increased number of products on the market.

The Company currently maintains a range of patents across the various technologies and continues to monitor these patents, as well as explore new patents based on the R&D currently being undertaken by the Company.

Clinical trial risk

The development of innovative products in the biomedical and healthcare industries will always have an element of risk associated with it. Admedus is working with Professor Ian Frazer to develop therapeutic vaccines with the lead program in a clinical study and the second program scheduled to enter clinical studies in the coming financial year. In addition, Admedus continues to develop products from its ADAPT platform technology, albeit de-risked, as a result of the lead product CardioCel being on market and actively used in patients. As a result of these ongoing activities there is an inherent risk associated with clinical studies and R&D and it is subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company continuously monitors the progress of all of these studies and aims to manage these risks.

Competition

Admedus actively monitors its markets and the activities of potential competing products. As a Company, we feel it is highly likely that other companies and organisations may be trying to develop competing products. Admedus believes that its platform technologies and products have clear advantages over other technologies and products and continues to undertake R&D to further illustrate and explore these advantages and benefits.

Regardless of the diligent activities of the Admedus team, there is no assurance that the Group’s competitors will not succeed in developing technologies that compete with the Admedus technologies.

Annual Report 2016 25

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

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.

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 R&D activities and associated capital 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. Admedus prepares files and maintains patents in countries relevant to the use and manufacturing of products using our technologies.

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, R&D, 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

Over the past 12 months the Company has continued to build its market brands globally, and towards the end of the period has undertaken a strategic review to refine the business towards being a profitable, sustainable business. Over the next 12 months the Company is looking forward to:

  • Continuing to grow CardioCel sales through market penetration, leveraging the strong benefit the product gives surgeons and patients alike in both the near and longer term.

  • Building up the CardioCel and cardiovascular product range with products on market for specific market segments and clear applications, to increase market penetration and Company sales.

  • Increasing overall production margins and yields in the manufacturing division while continuing to increase production, resulting in better returns for the Company as well as strong cost controls.

  • Continuing to grow the infusion business, including working with Royal Adelaide Hospital as well as pursing additional infusion sales contracts.

  • Continuing to develop Admedus immunotherapies’ technology to ensure that it maximises the potential and therefore return on this business.

Annual Report 2016

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Over the past 12 months, Admedus has focused on establishing strong brand awareness of CardioCel, which will enable the Company to build a product franchise in cardiovascular tissue surgical repairs and reconstructions. The board and management are committed to ensuring financial accountability while building sales, resulting in a profitable global healthcare business.

Business Strategies

The Group’s business strategies to achieve the above goals include:

  • Ensuring a financially strong and stable business.

  • Clearly define the CardioCel message and its advantages for patient and surgeon alike.

  • Grow CardioCel market penetration and sales through a refined product range targeting separate segments of the cardiovascular market.

  • Tighter cost expenditure relative to sales growth.

  • Continued product expansion with focus on products with near term revenue potential to contribute to sale growth.

  • Ongoing improvements across its manufacturing division to improve product margins and production yields providing higher production margins and reduced operating costs.

  • Continuing to build the infusion business based on growing revenue and pursuing more longer-term contracts.

  • Continued development in the area of immunotherapies to ensure commercial application and returns on the investment.

Admedus has recently undertaken a complete business review and now has a defined path to profitability through cost expenditure controls, coordinated sales and marketing and an expanded cardiovascular product portfolio, all resulting in a reduced operating cost base and growing revenues. This review, combined with the recent capital raising places the Company in a strong financial position to build into a sustainable, profitable business.

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.

During the financial period, Admedus Investments Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Admedus Ltd, acquired additional shares in Admedus Vaccines Pty Ltd to increase its interest to 72.8%. Admedus Vaccines Pty Ltd is a medical R&D business and operates the Immunotherapies Division of the consolidated entity.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On 15 July 2016, the Group announced the resignation of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and appointed of HLB Mann Judd (WA Partnership) as new auditors. HLB will continue to hold office until the next AGM at which time the shareholders will formally appoint them as the Company’s auditors.

On 2 August 2016, the Group announced a Prospectus Entitlement Offer. Under the offer shareholder have the rights to purchase 1 share for every 9 shares held at $0.33 per share.

On 5 August 2016, the Group announced the issue of 30,303,031 shares each at an issue price of $0.33 via a private placement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

The Company is subject to environmental regulation and other licences in connection with its research, development and manufacturing. The Company complies with all relevant Federal, State and Local environmental regulations. The Board is not aware of any breach of applicable environmental regulations by the Company.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

A Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

The objecti�e of the Company’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competiti�e 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 Wayne Paterson, John Seaberg and Mathew Ratty.

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-��ecuti�e �irector’s fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. The Non-��ecuti�e Chairman’s fees are determined based on competiti�e roles in the e�ternal 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. The Chairman currently receives a fixed fee for his services as a Director.

The Company’s �on-Executive Directors’ remuneration package contains the following key elements:

  • primary benefits ��uarterly 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 $700,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting.

No retirement benefits are provided other than compulsory superannuation.

Executive Directors

The Company’s ��ecuti�e �irectors’ 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 13 November 2015).

The combination of these components comprises the ��ecuti�e �irectors’ 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 F 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 objecti�e is to ensure that remuneration policies are fair and competiti�e and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. In doing this, during the year the Remuneration Committee sought advice from Aon Hewitt as an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark executive and non-executive director wages and fees at a cost of $8,600 (excluding GST).

There were no remuneration recommendations other than benchmarking data provided by AON Hewitt.

The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that the benchmarking analysis provided by AON Hewitt is free from undue influence. Aon Hewitt also confirmed to the Remuneration Committee that the ser�ices pro�ided adheres to the Company’s protocol relating to KM� remuneration and had not been subjected to undue influence from the Company’s KM�.

VOTING AND COMMENTS MADE AT THE COMPANY’S 2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Company received more than 90% of �yes� �otes on its remuneration report for the 2015 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

B Remuneration Governance

The Remuneration Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

  • the over-arching executive remuneration framework;

  • the operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;

  • the remuneration levels of executives; and

  • Non-Executive Director fees.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on this committee.

Fair Value of Options Granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 was 51.5 cents per option for Tranche A. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a 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.

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 included:

Tranche A

  • (a) options issued under the ESOP are granted for no consideration and vest based on holders still being Directors or key management personnel of Admedus Limited over a three year period. Vested options are exercisable for a period up to expiry date.

  • (b) exercise price: $1.39

  • (c) grant date: 10 December 2015

  • (d) expiry date: 10 December 2020

  • (e) share price at grant date: $0.83

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

  • (g) risk-free interest rate: 2.36%

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors and Officers of the Company and any subsidiary against a liability incurred as a Director or Officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Due to a confidentiality clause in the policy, the amount of the premium has not been disclosed.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purposes of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

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.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 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 30.

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 2016 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.

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 non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 as 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), 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 the 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.

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 acquisitiondate, 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

��

Annual Report 2016 49

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime from 1 July 2013. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognizes the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

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 weighted average cost formula. 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.

��

Annual Report 2016

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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:

Leasehold improvements 3-15 years
Plant and equipment 3-7 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.

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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

�ese���h �nd de�elo��en�

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 up to 17 years.

���en�s �nd ���de����s

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 up to 17 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

�ho����e��e��lo�ee �ene�i�s

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 measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

��he�long��e��e��lo�ee �ene�i�s

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 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.

�e�ined �on��i���ion s��e��nn���ion e��ense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

�e�i�e�en��ene�i�o�lig��ions

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 only has a defined contribution section within its plan. 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.

�h��e���sed ����en�s

Equity-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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

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.

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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2016. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

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.

�hare��ased pa��ent transacti�ns

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 Black-Scholes 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.

�r��isi�n ��r i�pair�ent ��recei�a�les

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.

�r��isi�n ��r i�pair�ent ��in�ent�ries

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.

�air �alue �easure�ent hierarch�

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.

�sti�ati�n ��use�ul li�es ��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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)

���d�ill and �ther inde�inite li�e intangi�le 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.

��pair�ent ��n�n��inancial assets �ther than g��d�ill and �ther inde�inite li�e intangi�le 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.

�nc��e ta�

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.

�ec��er���de�erred ta� 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.

��pl��ee �ene�its pr��isi�n

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.

�ease �a�e g��d pr��isi�n

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.

Business c���inati�ns

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.

3. 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, ageing 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:

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial liabilities

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:

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(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:

8,813,119
24,025,859

Sensitivity

At 30 June 2016, 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 $13,220 lower/$17,626 higher (2015 changes of 0.15%/0.2%: $36,039 lower/ $48,052 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.

For some receivables in Note 6 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.

(d) 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.

Deferred tax balances as at 30 June 2015 have therefore been adjusted and as a result, the previously recognised deferred tax asset has been expensed in the current financial year. This is due to the wholly owned Australian controlled entity losses now available, as a result of the consolidation, to offset future wholly owned Australian controlled entity profits.

The fair value of technology licence and goodwill from Admedus Vaccines transaction were calculated on 30 June 2013. An impairment test was completed at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 with no impairment calculated. The impairment test was performed on the basis of utilising the fair value less costs to sell valuation methodology.

The fair value has been determined by Griffith Hack (independent IP valuers) using the income approach and Risk Adjusted Discounted Cash Flow method. A licensing business model was assumed, with the Company’s forecast earnings stream based on royalty income received from a hypothetical licensee. This methodology is commonly used to value pre-revenue companies and, despite the uncertainty inherent to development technology, it is the method of investors in pharmaceutical and biotech start-up and pre-revenue companies.

The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 24.6% (2015: 25.0%) and cash flows are calculated using Implied Peak Sales of $2.0B to $3.8B for HSV-2 and $1.2B for HPV (2015: HSV-2 $2.0B to$3.8B and HPV $1.2B) using a cumulative probability of success of 24% HSV-2 and 14% HPV (2015: 24% HSV-2 and 14% HPV) and royalty of 4.75% (2015: 4.75%).

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave, vesting sick leave and long service leave. 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. The entire amount of the provision is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. 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.

23. SEGMENT REPORTING

(a) Description of segments

Segment information is presented using a management approach, i.e. segment information is provided on the same basis as information as used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision makers (board of directors that make key strategic decisions).

Management has determined that there are four identifiable reportable segments as follows:

  • Disposable medical product and medical devices distribution;

  • Bio implant operations � inclusive of sales, distribution and manufacturing;

  • Regenerative medicine R&D - ADAPT technology; and

  • Immunotherapies R&D.

Intersegment transactions

Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans

Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 was 40.9 cents per option for Tranche A, 51.5 cents per option for Tranche B, 58.5 cents per option for Tranche C and 16.3 cents per option for Tranche D. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a 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.

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 included:

Tranche A Tranche B Tranche C Tranche D

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The fair values of Intellectual property, Property, plant and equipment and Lease make good provision were initially calculated by independent valuation specialists upon inclusion in the financials. The fair values has since been adjusted for amortization, depreciation and interest.

27. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On 12 November 2014 proceedings were issued against Admedus Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary Admedus (Australia) Pty Ltd and its subsidiary Admedus Regen Pty Ltd.

The proceeding have been issued by Dr Geoffrey Lane, Dr Keith Woollard and their respective associated entities Palkingston Pty Ltd and KV Woollard Pty Ltd under sections 232 and 233 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The allegations relate to Admedus Regen Pty Ltd.

The proceedings allege that the affairs of Admedus Regen Pty Ltd are being conducted in a manner that is contrary to the interests of the members of Admedus Regen Pty Ltd as a whole and oppressive of the interests of Dr Geoffrey Lane, Dr Keith Woollard, Palkingston Pty Ltd and KV Woollard Pty Ltd.

The matter is still ongoing and the outcome at this stage is unknown and therefore an estimate of the potential contingency cannot reliably be determined.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s and its controlled entitiesinternal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriatene ss 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.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions ma de by directors or management.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and approp riate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
