OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Biotron Limited (‘Biotron’ or the ‘Company’) is currently focused on the ongoing clinical development of its unique antiviral platform, which has significant commercial value. Biotron's strategy is to systematically grow the value of the Company and work towards a commercial outcome for shareholders. This is best achieved by the demonstration of positive data, from clinical trials and other supporting studies. To date, focus has been on the planned, step-wise clinical development of the Company's lead antiviral drug, BIT225. Significant progress has been made with all the Company's clinical programs, which include clinical trials in HIV- 1, Hepatitis C virus ('HCV') and in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients.

Data from completed studies have demonstrated that BIT225 has clinical antiviral activity against both HIV-1 and HCV.

During the financial year under review, further progress has been achieved. Preliminary data have been reported from the Phase 2 HCV 3-month dosing trial (BIT225-008). A paper with data from the Company’s HIV-1 trial was published in an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal, demonstrating that BIT225 has potential to eradicate important viral reservoirs in patients.

A summary of significant events achieved in the period in review includes:

Confirmation of positive outcomes from the Phase 2, three-month dosing study of BIT225 in subjects infected with HCV (BIT225-008). The trial has generated important safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data that will support further development of BIT225 for both HIV-1 and HCV indications.
Demonstration that BIT225 may have a broader role in treatment of HIV-1 infection, based on data from the key trial of BIT225 in HIV-1-infected subjects (BIT225-004) and reported in a prestigious international scientific journal.
Results indicating that selected Biotron compounds have activity against the Zika virus.
Receipt of $1.5 million under the Federal R&D Tax Incentive Program.
Successful completion of a share purchase plan to eligible shareholders, raising $2 million.
Showcasing the Company to the international investment and pharmaceutical communities at various events in the USA, Asia and Australia.

Clinical Programs – Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

Significant progress has been made by the Company to date with clinical programs, which include clinical trials in HIV-1, HCV and HIV-1/HCV co-infected populations. BIT225 is in mid-stage clinical development with 8 clinical trials completed. Encouraging efficacy results against both HCV and HIV-1 have been achieved.

In April 2016, the Company reported positive outcomes from its Phase 2, 3-month dosing trial of BIT225 in HCV patients. The trial confirmed that BIT225 was safe and well tolerated when dosed for the extended period of 12 weeks. An antiviral effect from BIT225 was evident over and above the standard of care drugs that the patients were taking, with 82% of HCV genotype 1 (‘GT1’) patients clearing the virus, compared to 60% who only received the standard HCV treatment. HCV GT1 patients treated with BIT225 cleared the virus faster than those treated with standard treatment alone.

The results of this trial were in line with the results of previous trials of BIT225. Unlike those previous trials, this study provided key data on the performance of the new capsule formulation of BIT225.

This was the first trial to use a new capsule form of BIT225. The trial provided key information on how well this new formulation delivered BIT225. Patients treated with the capsules had higher blood levels of the drug than were achieved with the previously used powder form of BIT225. This shows that the capsules were more efficient at delivering BIT225 to the blood than the powder form of the drug. This information is key for further development of BIT225.

BIOTRON LIMITED

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The data from BIT225-008 means that lower dosages can be used in future studies, which will further improve the safety profile of the drug.

The results in the HCV genotype 3 (‘GT3’) cohort, which were reported previously, were less clear because of the higher than expected clearance of virus in the standard treatment arm. All GT3 patients treated with standard treatment cleared the virus, meaning that it was impossible to show an improvement with BIT225 for the GT3 subtype.

However, non-clinical studies have shown that BIT225 is pan-genotypic, which means it is active against all the main HCV genotypes, including GT3.

Clinical programs – HIV-1

BIT225 has a different mechanism of action than other HIV-1 drugs. Unlike other treatments for HIV-1 infection, BIT225 specifically targets viral reservoirs. These long-lived pools of virus persist despite drug treatment, and are never completely eliminated. The reservoirs act as ‘burning embers’, producing low levels of virus that cause chronic disease in people infected with HIV-1 through constant activation of the body’s immune system. These factors mandate life-long treatment using currently available drugs.

Therefore, eradication of HIV-1 is a current focus of scientists, clinicians, and the pharmaceutical industry and an area where BIT225 has potential.

Biotron has built up a detailed data package on its HIV-1 program, including results from a clinical trial in HIV-1-infected patients. During the last year, Biotron reported these results in two papers published by international, peer-reviewed scientific journals.

This clinical trial showed that BIT225 targets and reduces levels of HIV-1 residing in long-lived monocyte/macrophage reservoirs. These reservoirs exist even in patients undergoing treatment with current antiretroviral drugs, and are responsible for ongoing cycles of reseeding HIV-1 infection.

The study also indicated that BIT225 may impact on immune activation. Immune activation is responsible for a number of ongoing health issues in these patients and treatment strategies are needed to prevent development of associated disorders that include accelerated aging and neurological dysfunction.

Biotron is currently progressing plans for a pivotal Phase 2 trial, designed in consultation with international medical and scientific HIV-1 experts. The purpose of this study will be to demonstrate that adding BIT225 to current anti-HIV-1 drugs results in an additional, measurable clinical benefit to patients.

It should be noted that the results for safety and the capsule formulation from the BIT225-008 HCV trial are also relevant for the Company program on HIV-1. Completed studies done to predict drug-drug interactions, and modelling of pharmacokinetic data from previous trials to determine optimal dosage of BIT225, benefit both the HCV and HIV-1 programs.

Preparation of the trial protocol and other regulatory documentation is complete, and is ready for submission to the relevant institutional ethics review board.

This study is key to a commercial outcome for Biotron’s HIV-1 program.

Other viral programs

There have been a number of high profile international outbreaks of viral diseases, including Ebola, Middle East Respiratory virus (MERS- CoV) and more recently, Zika virus. Covered extensively in the media, they are a reminder that there is an ongoing need for new drugs to treat life-threatening diseases.

During the year in review, Biotron has been expanding testing of Biotron compounds for activity against other key commercially relevant virus targets.

BIOTRON LIMITED

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Biotron’s core expertise lies in designing and developing drugs that target a class of virus protein known as viroporins. Viroporins are found in a very broad range of viruses, and have key roles in the virus life cycle.

Whilst BIT225 is an important asset in its own right and demonstrates the robustness of Biotron’s approach to antiviral drug development, it is only one of the Company’s compounds.

Biotron’s proprietary compound library is a rich source of potential hits against other viruses. Screening against other viruses, including Zika virus, is in progress. Hits from this screening will act as starting points for further chemistry to generate compounds with increased potency against Zika and other viruses.

As announced in May 2016, in the initial round of testing of a small number of representative compounds, two were shown to have antiviral activity against Zika virus.

These early results are encouraging. They demonstrate the additional depth beyond BIT225 of Biotron’s library of compounds and approach to developing drugs that target serious viral diseases. The identification of these active compounds is a starting point for designing compounds with increased potency against Zika.

Outlook for the next 12 months

In line with previously stated strategies, Biotron aims to progress its antiviral programs through to a commercial outcome. In parallel with progressing clinical development of BIT225, and identification of lead candidates for additional viral diseases, the Company will progress discussions with potential partners in established and emerging markets such as China. It has been estimated that there are up to 30 million HCV-infected people in China. This compares to 3 – 5 million HCV-infections in the USA.

Achieving a commercial outcome for the Company’s programs will be the main focus of activities over the next 12 months. In parallel, the Company anticipates achieving the following outcomes:

Subject to receipt of relevant regulatory and ethics approvals, the commencement, and completion, of a pivotal Phase 2 trial of BIT225 in combination with current HIV-1 drugs, with the aim of demonstrating a clinical benefit.
Determination of the potential of BIT225 to impact on rebound of HIV-1 from viral reservoirs.
Progression of early stage programs for viruses other than HIV-1 and HCV with the aim of generating lead drugs suitable for clinical programs.

Patents

Biotron is focused on progressing patents related to its antiviral programs through the international patenting process. The Company recognises that the key to establishment of partnerships is the expansion and continued strengthening of Biotron’s intellectual property portfolio. Strong, defensible, international patents are essential to attract partners and to ensure a competitive advantage for the Company’s products in the marketplace.

Corporate

In April 2016, the Company received an R&D Tax Incentive rebate of $1.5 million for the 2015/16 financial year. The R&D Tax Incentive is an Australian Government program under which companies receive cash refunds for 45% of eligible expenditure on research and development.

The cash refund results from expenditure on Biotron’s HCV and HIV drug development programs. It is an important source of funds for the Company’s ongoing research and development activities.

At the start of the financial year in review, the Company completed a $2 million capital raising by way of a share purchase plan to eligible shareholders. The funds will be used to support the Company’s ongoing activities described above, in particular the HIV-1 Phase 2 trial that is expected to run through the second half of 2016. Thank you to everyone who participated; your ongoing support is appreciated.

On behalf of the Board we would like to thank the Biotron staff for their commitment and dedication during the year. Biotron is poised to achieve the outcome that we have all been working towards - demonstration that its systematic approach to antiviral drug development can result in significant clinical benefit to patients and generate value for our shareholders.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Biotron Limited (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is at Level 2, 66 Hunter Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The Company is a for-profit entity and is primarily engaged in the funding and management of intermediate and applied biotechnology research and development projects.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ('AASBs') adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial statements of the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 5 August 2016.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

Note 9 Unrecognised deferred tax asset

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Company.

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

(b) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

(c) Property, plant and equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss using the reducing balance method from the date of acquisition at rates between 13% and 40% per annum.

(d) Research and development

Grants

Where a grant is received relating to research and development costs that have been expensed, the grant is recognised as other income when the grant becomes receivable and the Company complies with all attached conditions.

Costs

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit and loss when incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(e) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost, are non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 60 days.

(f) Employee entitlements

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Long term employee benefits

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Share-based payment transactions

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

(g) Financial Instruments

Non-derivative financial assets

The Company holds loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

The Company initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated.

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Statement of Financial Position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Company initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

Other financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables.

(h) Share Capital

Ordinary Shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(i) Tax

Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax and is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ('GST'), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(j) Finance income

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

(k) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ('EPS') data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.

(l) Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised within profit or loss. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit ('CGU') exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of their fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(m) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

(n) Segment reporting

Determination and presentation of operating segments

The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to the Managing Director, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Segment results that are reported to the Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

(o) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Company are set out below. The Company does not plan to adopt these standards early.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 replaces the existing guidance in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financials instruments from AASB 139.

AASB 9 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2018 and can be early adopted. The Company does not plan to adopt this standard early and the standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements.

4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date.

Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of employee share options is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equitysettled share-based payment transactions.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value, at initial recognition, and for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date.

During the 2016 and 2015 financial years, no long term benefits or termination payments were paid.

18. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The Company has an Incentive Option Plan to provide eligible persons, being employees or directors, or individuals whom the Plan Committee determine to be employees for the purposes of the Plan, with the opportunity to acquire options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company. The number of options granted or offered under the Plan will not exceed 10% of the Company's issued share capital and the exercise price of options will be the greater of the market value of the Company's shares as at the date of grant of the option or such amount as the Plan Committee determines. Options have no voting or dividend rights. The vesting conditions of options issued under the plan are based on minimum service periods being achieved. There are no other vesting conditions attached to options issued under the plan.

In the event that the employment or office of the option holder is terminated, any options which have not reached their exercise period will lapse and any options which have reached their exercise period may be exercised within three months of the date of termination of employment. Any options not exercised within this three month period will lapse.

During the year ended 30 June 2016, 5,000,000 options were issued to the managing director as detailed in note 15 (2015- nil).

The options on issue at 30 June 2015 were modified in November 2014. The strike price of the options was reduced by 1c for each option. The modification had an immaterial impact on the fair value of each option on issue, and accordingly no expense has been recognised in relation to the modification.

Outstandingat 1 July	5,000,000	$0.17	5,000,000	$0.23

The equity based compensation reserve is used to record the options issued to directors and executives of the Company as compensation. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the year in the equity based compensation reserve was 2.42 years (2015 - 0.33 years).

No ordinary shares have been issued as a result of the exercise of any option granted pursuant to the Incentive Option Plan during the current and prior financial year.

Fair value of options

The fair value of options granted is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using an option valuation methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest.

When options on issue are modified and the modification is beneficial to the other party the incremental fair value at the date of the modification is recognised over the remaining modified vesting period and the original grant-date fair value is recognised over the remaining original vesting period. When the modification is to options on issue that have fully vested the incremental fair value is recognised as an expense in the period the modification occurs. The incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the share based payment at the date of modification between the old and new terms.

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions

Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised during the year ended 30 June 2016 was $42,902 (2015 - $Nil).

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s financial instruments comprise deposits with banks, receivables, trade and other payables and from time to time short term loans from related parties. The Company does not trade in derivatives or in foreign currency.

The Company manages its risk exposure of its financial instruments in accordance with the guidance of the Board of Directors. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risks. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital.

Risk management framework

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Informal risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by

the Company. The primary responsibility to monitor the financial risks lies with the Managing Director and the Company Secretary under the authority of the Board.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises mainly from the risk of counterparties defaulting on the terms of their agreements.

The carrying amounts of the following assets represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets:

Note Cash and cash equivalents 8 Trade and other receivables 10 Security deposits 11	Carrying amount 2016 $ 2015 $ 3,418,453 4,523,224 - 10,184 15,000 15,131 3,433,453 4,548,539	Carrying amount 2016 $ 2015 $ 3,418,453 4,523,224 - 10,184 15,000 15,131 3,433,453 4,548,539
		4,548,539

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company mitigates credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by dealing with regulated banks in Australia.

Trade and other receivables

Credit risk of trade and other receivables is very low as it usually consists predominantly of amounts recoverable from taxation and other government authorities in Australia.

All financial assets are current and are not past due or impaired and the Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Company.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.).

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity management rests with the Board. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity on the basis of expected fund raisings, trade payables and other obligations for the ongoing operation of the Company. At balance date, the Company has available funds of $3,418,453 for its immediate use.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

30 June 2016 Trade and other payables 30 June 2015 Trade and other payables	Carrying amount $ Contractual cash flows $ Less than one year $ Between one and five years $ Interest $ 115,959 (115,959) (115,959) - -
	283,319 (283,319) (283,319) - -

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

Market Risks

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s income statement is affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact of such changes on interest income from cash and cash equivalents and interest bearing security deposits. The average interest rate on funds held during the year was 1.99% (2015 – 1.64%).

At balance date, the Company had the following mix of financial assets exposed to variable interest rate risk that are not designated as cash flow hedges:

Note Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 8 Security deposits 11 Net exposure	2016 $ 3,418,453 15,000 3,433,453	2015 $ 4,523,224 15,131
		4,538,355

The Company did not have any interest bearing financial liabilities in the current or prior year.

The Company does not have interest rate swap contracts. The Company always analyses its interest rate exposure when considering renewals of existing positions including alternative financing.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures at balance date.

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates throughout the reporting period would have decreased the loss for the period by the amounts shown below, whilst a decrease would have increased the loss by

BIOTRON LIMITED

the same amount. The Company’s equity consists of fully paid ordinary shares. There is no effect on fully paid ordinary shares by an increase or decrease in interest rates during the period.

==> picture [159 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in United States currency. The company’s gross financial exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was US$5,269 (2015- US$433,934).

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the currency risk exposures at balance date.

A 5% strengthening of the United States dollar to Australian dollar at 30 June 2016 would have decreased post tax profit and net assets for the period by the amounts shown below, while weakening would have increased the post-tax profit and net assets for the period.

==> picture [113 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is not exposed to price risks.

Capital management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through issues of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Estimation of fair values

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their net fair values, given the short time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates.

20. FINANCIAL REPORTING BY SEGMENTS

The Company operates in one reportable operating and geographical segment, being the biotechnology industry in Australia.

21. OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases an office in North Ryde, Sydney. The lease is for a period of 3 years starting from November 2013 with monthly renewal after the 3 years.

During the year ended 30 June 2016, $62,686 was recognised as an expense in profit or loss in respect of the operating lease (2015 - $85,289).

The future minimum leases payments under non-cancellable operating leases are payable as follows:

The Company may be party to commercial disputes and litigation in the normal course of business. No material liabilities are expected to arise in respect of the commercial disputes and litigation existing at balance date.

There are no capital commitments at the date of these financial statements.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There has been no matters arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

In note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’s financial position and of its performance.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
