DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Group Overview

Admedus Limited is a global medical technologies company delivering clinically superior solutions that help healthcare professionals create life-changing outcomes for patients. Our focus is on investing in and developing next generation technologies with world class partners, to grow product and service offerings and expanding revenues for our existing, successful medical sales and distribution business. The Company has assets from research and development through clinical development as well as sales, marketing and distribution.

During the reporting period, the Company has continued to build its sales and marketing function across both the ADAPT® regenerative tissue product portfolio and the infusion business as we target becoming a sustainable business with growing profits and returns for shareholders.

Review of Operations

Revenues from ordinary activities for the year ended 31 December 2018 were $25,601,097 (2017: $11,305,079 for the 6 months to 31 December 2017). During the period, both the ADAPT® and Infusion business units performed strongly.

ADAPT® achieved revenues of $11,068,761 for 2018 compared to $3,796,591 for the 6 months to 31 December 2017. This overall growth was largely driven by sales in North America, which is the first market where the expanded 3D product range, including CardioCel® 3D, CardioCel® Neo and VascuCel®, was launched in February 2018.. The recruitment of a new sales team, in the first half of the year, and the contribution of the new and leading-edge CardioCel® 3D products have seen Admedus continue to build market share in the region. The implementation of a corporate accounts strategy targeting major US group purchasing organisations is also yielding results.

The European business turned around, returning to growth in the second half of 2018. Overall growth in Europe was impacted by delays in regulatory approvals for CardioCel® 3D and VascuCel®. Despite this, sales momentum in Europe continued to grow in the third and fourth quarter, as a result of the new leadership and sales team in this region who have been effective in driving increased engagement with key opinion leaders (KOLs) as well as reactivating and signing new customers. New distribution agreements have been executed in Spain, Portugal and Italy which have also contributed to increased sales in the second half of the year.

Sales in emerging markets have risen significantly, as a result of new regulatory approvals in the Philippines, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. New product launches, including CardioCel® in Vietnam and CardioCel® 3D in the United Arab Emirates, has contributed to increased sales in these existing geographies.

The Infusion business delivered sales of $14,532,336 for the 2018 year, ($7,508,488 for the 6 months ended 31 December 2017). The performance over the year reflected strong underlying growth substantially offsetting the impact of the conclusion of the relationship with GO Medical Industries Pty Ltd (Go Medical). On a like for like comparison removing the impact of GO Medical, the business grew organically by 24% over the prior comparative period.

During the year, Infusion completed the renewal of our exclusive distribution agreement with Summit Medical. This agreement extends our distribution rights for an eight-year period. The Infusion business continues to assess new product opportunities to strengthen the portfolio and its revenue potential.

Gross profit for the Group for the year was $12,438,499 representing a gross profit margin of 49%, compared to a margin of 59% for the prior 6 month period. This reduction in margin reflects higher direct product costs associated with sales for the ADAPT® and Infusion businesses compared to the prior period.

Selling, general and administration expenses was $34,291,462 for the year ended 31 December 2018 (2017: $14,541,863 for the 6 months to 31 December 2017) primarily driven by higher employee costs associated with increased head count to drive revenue growth, higher research and development costs, adverse foreign exchange movements and a number of one-off expenses related to restructuring the Company and the development of our global footprint.

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax for the 2018 year was $24,698,678 (2017: $8,828,576 for 6 months). During the period the Company continued its focus on executing initiatives resulting from its strategic review to deliver revenue growth and work towards driving the business on a more sustainable path towards profitability and positive operating cash flows.

Research and Development

The TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) project continued to progress ahead of schedule, with several milestones delivered during the year, including the commencement of a feasibility study in sheep, continual enhancements of the product, and the filing of additional patents. To date, the feasibility trial has shown that the Admedus TAVR valve has an EOA (effective orifice area) of up to 2.5 cm². The EOA, which is an important factor in enabling the flow of blood, is significant as currently available valves have an EOA of 1.6 to 2 cm². The Company has confirmed that it could initiate a first-in-human trial earlier than expected. The Company is also continuing its partnership strategy, commencing engagement with KOLs and potential target partners.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Capital Management

Over the year the Company raised $31,711,580 in capital funds (being gross proceeds of $35,410,796 with associated transaction costs of $3,699,216), covering the following transactions:

In May 2018 the Company completed a Share Placement of $6,000,000 via the issue of 20,000,000 shares. This included 2,333,333 shares purchased by Admedus Company Directors for $700,000.
In June 2018 a further $2,761,072 was raised from the issue of 9,203,575 shares under a Share Purchase Plan offered to existing investors.
In August and September 2018 Hong Kong based strategic investor, Star Bright Holding Ltd (together with its associates) (“Star Bright”) increased its interest in the Company through their purchase of an additional 68,889,502 shares for $7,685,527. In addition, Admedus entered into a $5,000,000 unsecured loan facility with Star Bright which was used to repay the existing term loan from Partners for Growth (PFG)
In November 2018 the Company announced a pro rata renounceable partially underwritten entitlement offer. The offer reflected 5 new fully paid ordinary shares for each 7 shares currently held with an attaching option for each new share issued. The attached options were listed with an exercise price of $0.08 and a three year exercise period. Following the close of the offer on 13 December 2018, Admedus issued 237,052,479 new shares and 237,052,479 new options raising gross funds of $18,964,197. Part of these funds were used to repay the $5,000,000 loan from Star Bright.

Financial Position

The closing cash position for the period was $12,036,301, up from $8,254,823 at 31 December 2017.

Net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased by $6,529,959 during the year largely driven by capital raisings of $31,711,580 (net of transaction costs); offset by the repayment of the PFG secured debt facility of $5,000,000, and operational and research and development expenditures for the ADAPT® business. The Group had no borrowings at the end of the financial year.

Cash Flow

The net cash inflow during the period was $3,781,478 reflecting:

Operating cash out flows of $22,205,313 including $3,373,000 for research and development expenditure for ADAPT, primarily related to the TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) project which includes ongoing trials and the filing of additional patents;
Investing cash out flows of $1,011,218 relating to capital purchases and a deferred settlement payment in relation to the Regen acquisition.
Financing cash inflows of $27,149,260 reflecting net proceeds from capital raising activities of $32,342,116 over the year; Admedus entering into a $5,000,000 million unsecured loan facility with Star Bright to repay the existing term loan from PFG; and the subsequent repayment of this Star Bright loan, through the use of funds received from the renounceable rights issue of shares at the end of the year.

Material Business Risks

The Group has identified the below specific risks which could impact upon its 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 uncommon. With ADAPT® now on the market in the US, Europe, Canada, India, 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. During the year the Company has continued to build on improving market messaging, sales force optimisation and bring new ADAPT® 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 technologies. The development of additional bio-scaffold products such as CardioCel® Neo, VascuCel® and CardioCel® 3D reinforces the quality of the ADAPT® platform technology, as well as reducing the commercial risk by having an increased number of products on the market.

The Group 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Material Business Risks (continued)

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 and his team to develop therapeutic vaccines with one programme having completed two clinical studies, and the second programme having commenced a Phase 1 clinical study, which is due for completion in the coming financial year. In addition, Admedus continues to develop products from its ADAPT® platform technology, albeit derisking, because of the lead product ADAPT® being on market and actively used in patients. Because 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 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 activities 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.

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

The ability of the Company and the Group to continue as a going concern and fund the path to profitability is dependent upon securing additional funds in the coming months from amongst a range of sources/opportunities including issuing new equity, securing long term debt, partnerships and divesting assets. The Directors believe that the Company and Group has the ability to raise additional funds. Notwithstanding the above factors, as a company moving towards profitability is dependent upon continuing support from current shareholders, should the Company and the Group not receive the forecast cash inflows and additional funding referred to above there are material uncertainties as to whether the Company and the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

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.

Staff

Admedus’ success is dependent on the skills and abilities of its employees. To encourage a motivated, engaged and expert workforce, the Company strives to create a positive culture underpinned by its AORTIC values and alignment to strategic objectives. 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. To mitigate this risk, Admedus provides incentive and engagement opportunities as appropriate.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Likely Developments

Outlook

During 2018 the Company continued its evolution with the delivery of several key initiatives and increased investment in long-term strategic projects. We look forward to leveraging these developments and building on the momentum that’s currently driving us forward as a bankable, sustainable business.

In 2019 we are committed to:

Significant growth of the CardioCel® product portfolio with reinvigorated sales teams and new opportunities in the US, EU and emerging markets.
Continuing our partnership strategy to advance the development of our TAVR device.
Expansion of ADAPT® into emerging markets such as India, Taiwan and Japan.
Investing in continuous improvement initiatives in our manufacturing operation to improve efficiency, reduce costs and maximise margins and yields.
Ensuring a financially strong and stable business through detailed planning, responsible management and transparency of strategy and outcomes.
Continuing with the planned divestiture of the Immunotherapies business.

Business Strategies

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

Actively seeking co-development partners for our TAVR device, ideally with global cardiac device companies.
Technology enablement programs to enable and equip the sales teams and management with timely, accurate and insightful information.
Infusion business to focus on capturing new large accounts, increasing its brand presence.
Continue to develop the patient-centric narrative around the ADAPT® message and its advantages for patients and surgeons.
Grow ADAPT® market penetration and sales through an enhanced product range targeting separate segments of the cardiovascular market, a new/expanded sales force put in place in US and EU and a more focused and strategic sales methodology applied.
Apply a disciplined and conservative approach to expenditure relative to sales growth.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

A Introduction B Key Management Personnel C Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration D Remuneration Governance E Use of Remuneration Consultants F Service Agreements G Details of Remuneration H Share-based Compensation I Additional Information J Additional Disclosures Relating to Key Management Personnel

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

A Introduction

This year we have continued to review and refine our remuneration framework and associated practices following feedback from stakeholders. This has included undertaking the benchmarking of both executive remuneration and non-executive director remuneration incorporating an assessment of the market the Company operates in as well as the relative size and market capitalisation of the Company. For executives based in the United States, an analysis of both Australian and US data sources was utilised for the benchmarking.

A key component of the remuneration framework is the short term incentive remuneration for executives which has been assessed in light of corporate and individual key performance metrics for the financial year. Finally, as part of the broader overall review and refinement of the framework, a second phase has commenced to assess and where appropriate, revise the equity remuneration practices of executive remuneration which will be implemented as part of the 2019 remuneration processes.

B Key Management Personnel

For the purposes of this report personnel deemed Key Management Personnel (KMP) at any time during the period to 31 December 2018 are:

Board of Directors Other KMP Non-Executive Directors Dr Kiran Bhirangi - Chief Medical Officer (from 3 December 2018) Mr John Seaberg Mr Matthew McDonnell - Interim Chief Financial Officer (from 23 Mr Stephen Denaro (from 31 October 2018) November 2018) Dr Wenyi Gu (from 4 October 2018) Mr David St Dennis - Chief Operating Officer Dr Yanheng Wu (from 12 December 2018) Ms Catherine Costello - Chief Financial Officer (until 16 November Ms Lishan Zhang (from 12 December 2018) 2018) Mr Simon Buckingham (until 4 October 2018) Mr Ben Jensen - Chief Human Resources and Technology Officer Mr Mathew Ratty (until 20 May 2018) (until 1 July 2018)

C Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

The objective of the Company’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered and set to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced candidates. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract qualified and experienced directors and senior executive officers, in the context of prevailing market conditions.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

C Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (continued)

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 individual 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 were carried out during the year ending 31 December 2018 by John Seaberg, Stephen Denaro (from 7 December 2018), Wenyi Gu (from 7 December 2018), Simon Buckingham (until 4 October 2018) and Mathew Ratty (until 20 May 2018).

Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy

Fees and payments to the Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the Directors. The Non-Executive Chairman’s fees are determined based on competitive roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.

The Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are 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 Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration package contains the following key element:

primary benefits – monthly director’s fees including superannuation in the case of Australian based directors only.
equity – share options under the Admedus Share Option Incentive Plan (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 13 November 2015).

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 Remuneration Policy

The Company’s Executive Director and other Executives remuneration packages contain the following key elements:

primary benefits – Base salary, short term incentives, superannuation or pension contributions and in the case of US based executives a health benefit plan.
equity – share options under the Admedus Share Option Incentive Plan (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 13 November 2015 and the Admedus Long Term Incentive Plan approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 16 November 2017).

The combination of these components comprises the Executive Directors’ and Executive’s total remuneration.

External remuneration information provides benchmark information to ensure remuneration 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 salary increase included in any contracts.

There are no performance conditions on options issued to directors and employees under the 2015 and 2017 Plans.

C Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (continued)

Consolidated Entity Performance and Link to Remuneration

Remuneration for individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity as well as the performance of the individual. Incentive payments are dependent on defined corporate and individual key performance indicators being met. Incentive payments are at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

The Remuneration Committee believes the setting of key corporate and individual key performance targets which are aligned to the corporate strategy, will drive the development, performance and position of the Company. This will drive increased shareholder wealth over the coming years.

The following chart sets out the executives’ target remuneration mix in the current year. The short term and long term incentives are provided at target levels.

are provided at target levels.
Fixed remuneration	At risk
	Short term incentive Longterm incentive
Chief Executive Officer Wayne Paterson 50% Chief Operating Officer David St Denis 57% Chief Medical Officer Kiran Bhirangi 61% Interim Chief Financial Officer Matthew McDonnell 83% Former Key Management Personnel	30% 20% 29% 14% 24% 15% 17% N/A
Chief Financial Officer Catherine Costello 65% Chief Human Resources and Technology Officer Ben Jensen 65%	19% 16% 19% 16%

D Remuneration Governance

The Remuneration Committee is a committee of the Board. The purpose of the Committee to review and make recommendations to the Board in relation to the overall remuneration policy for the Company and, specifically:

Non-Executive Director remuneration;
Executive Director and Senior Executive remuneration;
the implementation of, and amendment of, any executive long term incentive plans;
executive remuneration changes and contractual amendments not required to be recommended to the Board; and
the establishment of any new, and amendment of the terms of any existing, long term incentive plans for employees below Senior Executive level.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on this committee, which can be viewed at https://admedus.com/about/corporate-governance.

E Use of Remuneration Consultants

The Company’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. In response to feedback received from shareholders at the AGM in May 2018, the Remuneration Committee sought advice from an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark wages for key executive roles.

The benchmarking and review of market practices in place at comparable companies resulted in no changes to the framework for 2018. The Company continues to review and refine the remuneration framework, to align with strategic imperatives and the expectation of broader stakeholders.

Fair Value of Options Granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the period ended 31 December 2018 was 17.0 cents per option for Tranche G, and 18.0 cents per option for Tranche H. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that considers the exercise price, the term of the option, 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 period ended 31 December 2018 included:

	Tranche G	Tranche H
Exercise price:	$0.37	$0.30
Grant date:	8 June 2018	8 June 2018
Expiry date:	31 December 2027	31 December 2027
Share price at grant date:	$0.26	$0.26
Expected price volatility of the	70%	70%
Company’s shares:
Risk-free interest rate:	2.18%	2.18%

All Tranches of options are granted for no consideration and vest based on the holder still being employed by Admedus Limited over a three-year period. Vested options are exercisable for a period up to the expiry date.

On 18 December 2018, a renounceable rights issue of shares was undertaken at an issue price of $0.08 per share, with an attaching listed option for each share issued. As at 31 December 2018, none of the listed options had been exercised.

No option/warrant holder has any right under the options/warrants to participate in any other share issue of the Company or any other entity. The options/warrants are exercisable at any time after vesting or before the expiry date.

During the year ended 31 December 2018, 4,371,922 unlisted options were cancelled (six-month period to 31 December 2017: 858,333 options cancelled).

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the period to 31 December 2018, 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.

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise Admedus Limited (Company) and its controlled entities. The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements and are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value through profit or loss.

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 15.

At the end of the 2017 calendar year, the Company changed its financial year-end from 30 June to 31 December. This change more closely aligned Admedus’ reporting period with its global business sales cycles, assisting with forecasting, cash flow management and investment decisions. Consequently, for the current consolidated financial statements, the comparative accounting period is the 6- month period from 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2017, in line with the previous released financial report.

The Group’s accounting policies have been consistently applied to all of the periods presented unless otherwise stated.

(a) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and discharges of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a net loss of $24,698,678 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $22,205,313 for the financial year ended 31 December 2018. As at that date, the Group had a cash balance of $12,036,301 and net working capital of $13,317,162.

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:

Continued growth in the ADAPT® and Infusion business.
New product lines to be launched such as CardioCel® 3D Stage 1 Arch, Half Pipe Conduit, Adult AV Leaflets and RVOT Hood and TAP that are at varying stages of design development, regulatory clearance and user evaluation.
New markets for the Groups ADAPT® products including Taiwan, Australia (post TGA approval), Indonesia, Israel, Nordics and Japan.
The planned partial divestiture of the immunotherapies business, which will provide funding directly to that entity.
The possible divestment of non-core assets.
New possible partnerships and alliances for ADAPT® and TAVR products.
Monitoring, containing and if required deferring operational costs, including R&D costs, and capital expenditures.
The Company has an established track record of successfully raising new capital and debt facilities.

Notwithstanding the above factors, should the options above not be subsequently available to the Company, there are material uncertainties as to whether the Company and the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and Group not continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Admedus Limited as at 31 December 2018 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. Control is achieved when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can 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. 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 in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and statement of 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 interests 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.

(c) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

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 within the next financial year are addressed in the following notes.

2. 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 maker (CODM, being the CEO that makes key strategic decisions). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

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

Disposable medical product and medical devices distribution (Infusion Business);
Bio implant operations – inclusive of sales, distribution and manufacturing (ADAPT Business);
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.

Recognition and Measurement

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods for the Infusion and ADAPT business units is recognised when control of goods transfers to the customer. Revenue is recognised at an amount which reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. Revenue received for a contract that includes a variable amount is subject to revised conditions for recognition, whereby it must be highly probable that no significant reversal of the variable amount may occur when the uncertainties around its measurement are removed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

3. REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME (continued)

Recognition and Measurement (continued)

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 consolidated entity will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Further legislation was passed by the Australian Government in October 2018 to accelerate the planned reduction in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 25% for small and medium business over a 5-year period. Admedus Limited expects to benefit from the reduced corporate tax rates as a base rate entity with Australian turnover expected to be under the aggregated turnover threshold in the foreseeable future. No change has been made to the 27.5% effective tax rate used for the measurement of the Australian deferred tax balances.

5. INCOME TAX (continued)

(d) Recognition and Measurement

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

Tax Consolidation

Admedus Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. The parent entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the parent entity also recognises 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.

(e) Critical accounting estimates

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

6. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

6(b) Trade and other receivables

Recognition and measurement

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade receivables are subject to the expected credit loss model. The Company applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 120 days past due. Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries on amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any expected loss allowance.

Critical accounting estimates

The allowance for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of allowance is assessed by considering the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position.

Refer to Note 12 for information on the risk management policy of the Group.

Other receivables

Other receivables include prepayments and security deposits for rental of corporate offices.

Past due but not impaired

As at 31 December 2018, trade receivables of $73,258 (31 December 2017: $407,356) were past due but not impaired. These relate to customers for whom there is no recent history of default. A significant portion of these trade receivables past due but not impaired have been subsequently paid post 31 December 2018. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

			DECEMBER	DECEMBER
			2018	2017
			$	$
Over	90	days	73,258	407,356

The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received.

6(c) Trade and other payables

Recognition and measurement

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial period 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.

Refer to Note 12 for information on the risk management policy of the Group.

6(d) Deferred consideration

The deferred consideration balance relates to the acquisition by Admedus Ltd of the remaining 11.13% of the shares in Regen Pty Ltd and the settlement of associated Federal Court proceedings. As a result of the settlement, the Group owns 100% of Admedus’ regenerative tissue technology ADAPT®. The present value of the remaining deferred consideration is $1,178,409, which is payable in 3 equal instalments to January 2021.

Recognition and measurement

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

In October 2017, Admedus Limited entered into an agreement with Partners for Growth (PFG) for a secured debt facility of up to AUD $10 million. PFG was granted a first-ranking security for the loans on all assets of the Company and most wholly-owned group companies.

In August 2018, Admedus Limited entered into a $5 million unsecured loan facility with Star Bright Holding Ltd (“Star Bright”). The purpose of the loan was to repay the existing term loan from PFG. The PFG loan was fully repaid on 28 August 2018 and the security granted under the loan was released.

In December 2018 the loan from Star Bright was repaid in full, through use of funds received from the renounceable rights issue of shares. Refer to note 9(f) for further detail on the rights issue.

6(f) Financial liabilities - warrant

Recognition and measurement

The warrant is a derivative with changes in fair value recognised in the profit or loss. Refer below for the method and assumptions used in determining fair value of the derivative.

In conjunction with receiving the loan facility from PFG in October 2017, Admedus issued PFG a 7-year warrant for the issue of 4,938,799 ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of AUD$0.25 per share. The warrant expires on 26 October 2024. The holder of the warrant also has the option to put the warrant to the Company for AUD$1,500,000 on expiry or on the occurrence of certain events. Both these components need to be considered when determining the valuation of the warrant.

The value of the call option component of the warrant in relation to the issue of the shares has been determined using a Black Scholes pricing model that incorporates a share price hurdle. The share price hurdle reflects the fact the call option will only be exercised in circumstances where the value that can be derived from exercising the call option exceeds the value that can be derived from the put option. The value of the put option is determined having regard to a discounted cash flow (‘DCF’) methodology to calculate its riskadjusted present value.

Inventory expense

Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value recognised as an expense during the year ended 31 December 2018 amounted to $265,880 (Six months to 31 December 2017: $9,097).

Recognition and measurement

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. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Critical accounting estimates

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of allowance is assessed by considering the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

Recognition and measurement

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 3-10 years Plant and equipment 3-7 years Software 3-5 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Costs incurred in developing software products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licences that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and services and direct payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project.

Software development costs include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following completion of technical feasibility and where the Group has an intention and ability to use the asset.

Critical accounting estimates

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly because of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortization 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.

Critical accounting estimates

The consolidated entity tests goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are determined based on either value-in-use calculations or fair value less cost of disposal. Value-in-use 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.

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 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 valuein-use calculations, which incorporate several key estimates and assumptions.

Impairment assessment of technology licence and goodwill

The value of the technology licence and goodwill from the Admedus Vaccines transaction were subject to impairment testing at 31 December 2018 with no impairment arising as the recoverable amount was in excess of the associated cash generating unit. The impairment test was performed by determining a value for the Admedus Vaccines’ assets based on the announced proposed funding arrangement with Star Bright Holding Ltd. Under the executed Memorandum of Understanding, Admedus will hold 29.1% of a new company which will own Admedus Vaccines, and Star Bright will contribute $18 million to the new company for 60% of the equity in this company.

As at 31 December 2017, the Company performed a review of the key assumptions applied for the 30 June 2017 impairment test performed by Glasshouse Advisory (independent IP valuers), as detailed below. As there were found to be no material changes to these assumptions or the composition of the cash generating unit, the previous outcome of no impairment was determined to be accurate for the current reporting period end.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

7. NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

7(c) Intangibles (continued)

Impairment assessment of technology licence and goodwill (continued)

The fair value assessment at 30 June 2017 by Glasshouse Advisory used an 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 was 24.7% (2016: 24.6%) and cash flows were calculated using Implied Peak Sales of $2.3B to $2.5B for HSV-2 (2016: HSV-2 $2.0B to$3.8B and HPV $1.2B) using a cumulative probability of success of 23.7% HSV-2 (2016: 24% HSV-2 and 14% HPV) and royalty of 5% (2016: 4.75%).

Impairment assessment of intellectual property and patents

The value of the intellectual property and patents for the ADAPT business were subject to impairment testing at 31 December 2018 with no impairment arising as the recoverable amount was in excess of the associated cash generating unit. The impairment test was performed by performing a discounted cashflow valuation methodology calculation. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial forecasts determined by management. Terminal cash flows are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 2.5%. In performing these calculations, the Group has applied a post-tax discount rate of 20% (equivalent to a pre-tax discount rate of 22%). The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and were based on both external and internal sources.

As at 31 December 2017 the Group assessed whether any indicators of impairment existed at reporting date for the intellectual property and patents for the ADAPT business. No indicators were identified at this point in time.

Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the de-recognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset.

The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised, up to the stage of commercialization, when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity can 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.

Patents and trademarks

Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of up to 20 years.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

7. NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

7(d) Provisions

(i) Employee benefits

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave, vesting sick leave and long service leave. Long service leave covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and 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 experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

(ii) Lease make good

The lease make good provision relates to the removing of lease hold improvements including laboratories and clean rooms in accordance with the lease agreements. The provision is based on an independent valuation.

Critical accounting estimate

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.

(iii) Recognition and measurement

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation due to 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, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

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

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The entity recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 and involves the payment of terminations benefits.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed 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 Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Consolidated – 31 December 2018 Liabilities Warrant Total liabilities Consolidated – 31 December 2017 Liabilities Warrant Total liabilities	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ $ $ $
	- 832,879 - 832,879
	- 832,879 - 832,879
	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ $ $ $
	- 248,766 - 248,766
	- 248,766 - 248,766

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.

Recognition and 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, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing 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.

Critical accounting estimates

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.

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.

(h) Capital Risk Management

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Board of Directors monitors capital as part of each Board meeting or more frequently as required. No formal targets are in place for return on capital or gearing ratios as the Group has not derived any income from the developing technology. The Group defines capital as equity and net debt.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

12. 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 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 review of foreign exchange risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors. Interest rate risk is managed for financial assets by investing in higher yielding term deposits with large financial institutions. Credit risk is monitored by regular age analysis of debtors as well as the initial assessment of the credit worthiness of counterparties.

The Group and the Company hold the following financial instruments:

Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Deferred asset Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Deferred consideration Borrowings Warrant Net financial assets	CONSOLIDATED 31 DECEMBER 31 DECEMBER 2018 2017 $ $
	12,036,301 8,254,823 4,191,545 4,718,096 - 248,944

	8,793,952 12,014,304
	7,433,894 1,207,559

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.

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 as follows:

(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:

eriods:

	8,254,823

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

12. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a) Market Risk (continued)

Cash flow and interest rate risk (continued)

Sensitivity

At 31 December 2018, if interest rates had increased by 50 basis points or decreased by 50 basis points from the period end rates with all other variables held constant, the impact on post-tax loss for the period based on the average cash balance would have been $50,728 lower/$50,728 higher (31 December 2017 changes 50 basis points: $48,789 lower/ $48,789 higher), mainly because 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, considering its financial position, experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set in accordance with Company policy. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management.

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.

(c) Foreign currency risk management

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures.

The Group regularly monitors the level of foreign currency exposure and where appropriate, considers the use of foreign exchange contracts to manage significant exposures. There were no foreign exchange contracts entered at 31 December 2018 (31 December 2017: nil).

The following table includes the financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities and presents the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian Dollars. The Group’s manufacturing facilities are based in Australia and the sales for the ADAPT Business to the markets in the USA, Europe and Asia creates an AUD denominated foreign exchange risk in the respective entities.

12. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(d) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity and debt 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 liabilities 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 terms of creditor payments. The Company has also issued a warrant which expires on 26 October 2024. The holder has the ability to convert the warrant to shares or to put that warrant to the Company for $1,500,000.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(e) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and deposits with banks, accounts receivable, trade payables and loans payable. The main purpose of these non-derivative financial instruments is to finance the entity’s operations.

19. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Employee Share Option Plan

The Admedus Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) was approved by shareholders at the 2017 Annual General Meeting. Eligible employees can participate in the Plan. The previous ESOP in place for the Company was approved by shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

The key terms of both ESOP’s include:

Options are issued to selected Eligible Employees for nil cost;
The allotment of options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors;
Shares allotted on the exercise of the options are to be issued at an exercise price determined by the Board in its absolute discretion;
Options expire 5 years after the grant date under the old plan, and 10 years under the new plan;
Options are unlisted and not transferable unless the Directors in their absolute discretion agree to a transfer; and
Options carry no dividend rights or voting rights.

The Company issued 6,521,130 staff options over ordinary shares in the Company under the new plan during the twelve months to 31 December 2018 (six months to 31 December 2017: 1,650,000). These were split as follows:

On 8 June 2018, the Company issued 4,371,130 options to the executive director and employees under the ESOP (relating to the Long Term Incentive Scheme) at an exercise price of $0.37 (Tranche G).
On 8 June 2018, the Company issued 2,150,000 options to employees under the ESOP (relating to sign on options committed under the employment contracts) at an exercise price of $0.30 (Tranche H).

Options issued under employee share option plan Total expenses from share-based transactions	8,957 355,073
	8,957 355,073

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the period ended 31 December 2018 was 17.0 cents per option for Tranche G, and 18.0 cents per option for Tranche H. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that considers 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 period ended 31 December 2018 included:

	Tranche G	Tranche H

19. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (continued)

(c) Fair Value of Options Granted

(d) Recognition and measurement

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.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is 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 is 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 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.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

(d) Transactions with Related Parties

In April 2018, Admedus signed a Memorandum of Understanding with shareholder Star Bright Holding Limited (“Star Bright” for an investment of $18 million in a new company who will own Admedus Vaccines Pty Limited, providing a 60% equity interest in this new company. As part of this arrangement Star Bright paid Admedus Vaccines $1 million over two instalments which secured a twelve-month exclusivity period to finalise the terms of an agreement. If this agreement goes ahead the $1 million will convert to capital forming part of the $18 million investment.

On 18 December 2018, as part of the renounceable rights issue two Directors of the Company, Chairman John Seaberg and Executive Director and CEO Wayne Paterson, agreed to take up their respective entitlements and underwrite the entitlement offer for a total amount of $50,000 each. The Directors were not paid a fee for their underwriting.

In addition, Star Bright agreed to take up its entitlement of $4 million under the entitlement offer, and underwrite the entitlement offer for $1 million. Star Bright received a fee of 3% on the underwritten amount of $1 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay the $5 million loan advanced by Star Bright during the period, as shown in note 20(e) below.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

23. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated group which consists of Admedus Limited (Company) and its controlled entities. The Company is a listed, for profit, public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AABS”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with the Australian equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial reporting, comprising of the financial statements and notes there to, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on 28 February 2018.

(b) 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 fair value on the acquisition-date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and 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.

(c) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Admedus Limited's functional and presentation currency. Figures presented in the financial report are rounded to the nearest dollar.

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 approximates 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 translation reserve in equity.

The foreign currency translation reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

23. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) 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 realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for trading; it is expected to be realized 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 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.

(e) 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, 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.

(f) 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.

(g) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2018

The Company has applied the following standards for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018:

AASB 9 Financial Instrument s , which replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The Company’s trade receivables are subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model. The Company has adopted the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses. Refer to note 6(b) for the new accounting policy. There was no material impact on the Company’s results for the year ended 31 December 2018.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. AASB 15 supersedes AASB 118 Revenue . and is based on the principle of recognition of revenue from the sale of goods when control of goods transfers to the customer. The Company’s new accounting policy for revenue has been disclosed within note 3. There has been no material impact on the Company’s results for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 31 December 2018 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Company.

The key new standard reviewed by the Company was AASB 16 Leases, which addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of leases. The changes will primarily affect the accounting by lessees and will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet. The standard removes the current distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals. The exceptions are short-term and low value leases. The nature of expenses related to leases will change, because the Company will recognise a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. As at 31 December 2018, the Company had operating lease commitments of $1.5 million, refer note 16.

The Group will apply the standard from its mandatory adoption date of 1 January 2019.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Admedus Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Admedus Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern , we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Carrying value of intangible assets (Refer Note 7(c))

As at 31 December 2018, the Group has an intangible assets balance of $5.5 million which relates to patents, intellectual property, a technology licence and goodwill.

Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test and other finite life intangible assets are subject to an impairment test should indicators of impairment arise.

A total of $2.0 million of the intangible assets balance at 31 December 2018 relates to the ADAPT product portfolio. As impairment indicators were present, Management have allocated these intangible assets to a cash-generating unit and performed an impairment assessment using a fair value less costs of disposal approach.

The remaining intangible assets balance of $3.5 million relates to the HPV and HSV-2 vaccines (inclusive of goodwill). At 31 December 2018, management allocated these intangible assets to a cash generating unit and performed an impairment assessment using a fair value less costs of disposal approach.

We consider the recoverable amount of intangible assets to be a key audit matter as it involves complex matters involving subjectivity and judgement, it is material to the users’ understanding of the financial statements as a whole and it required significant auditor attention and communication with those charged with governance.

For the intangible assets which relate to the ADAPT product portfolio, our procedures included but were not limited to:

Consideration of any indicators of impairment, both internal and external, which would suggest that the cash generating unit’s assets may be impaired;
- Considering whether the assets comprising the cash generating unit had been correctly allocated;
Reviewing the valuation of ADAPT obtained by management from an independent expert and the valuation approach adopted;
Considering the ability to rely on the work of the independent expert;
Analysing the performance of the cash generating unit for the period and comparing this with budget expectations;
Comparing key assumptions in forecast cash flows to historical results and, where these were materially different, critically reviewing the basis for differing future expectations;
Critically assessing material inputs into the recoverable amount assessment; and
Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report.

For the intangible assets which relate to Vaccines, our procedures included but were not limited to:

Considering whether the assets comprising the cash generating unit had been correctly allocated;
Reviewing the valuation of Vaccines obtained by management from an independent expert and the valuation approach adopted;
- Considering the ability to rely on the work of the independent expert;
Consideration of material assumptions and calculations such as the implied equity value and minority discount;
Review of management’s paper in relation to recoverable amount and associated agreements; and

Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report.

Accounting for the debt facility and warrant (Refer Note 6(f))

Description

As at 31 December 2018, the Group has a balance of $832,879 in relation to a warrant.

Audit Approach

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

This balance arose as a result of the company’s - Review of the key terms of the warrant former borrowing facility which was repaid during the agreement entered into; financial year and, in relation to which, a 7-year - Review of the independent expert’s warrant was issued over ordinary shares in the valuation of the warrant at reporting Company. date to ensure an appropriate methodology was applied and that the

- Ensuring that the warrant has been correctly accounted for under accounting standards;
- Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

==> picture [164 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Remuneration Report
