Developments in the Company’s Investments

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”), BPH 21.9%

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”) is an unlisted oil and gas exploration and development company with onshore and offshore exploration and near-term development assets around Australia. Advent’s assets include PEP11 (85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin and RL1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the Northern territory.

PEP 11 Oil and Gas Permit

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd “(Asset”), holds 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP 11 – an exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin.

PEP 11 is a significant offshore exploration area with large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion cubic feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs. Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km from the Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle greater metropolitan area and gas pipeline network.

The offshore Sydney Basin has been lightly explored to date, including a multi-vintage 2D seismic data coverage and a single exploration well, New Seaclem-1 (2010). Its position as the only petroleum title offshore New South Wales provides a significant opportunity should natural gas be discovered in commercial quantities in this petroleum title. It lies adjacent to the Sydney-Newcastle region and the existing natural gas network servicing the east coast gas market. The total P50 Prospective Resource calculated for the PEP11 prospect inventory is 5.9 Tcf with a net 5 Tcf to Advent (85%WI). The two largest prospects in the inventory are Fish and Baleen.

Advent has previously interpreted significant seismically indicated gas features in PEP11. Key indicators of hydrocarbon accumulation features have been interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data (reprocessed in 2010). The seismic features include apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones (HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) anomalies and potential flat spots.

In addition, a geochemical report has provided support for a potential exploration well in PEP11. The report reviewed the hydrocarbon analysis performed on sediment samples obtained in PEP11 during 2010. The 2010 geochemical investigation utilised a proprietary commercial hydrocarbon adsorption and laboratory analysis technique to assess the levels of naturally occurring hydrocarbons in the seabed sediment samples.

The report supports that the Baleen prospect appears best for hydrocarbon influence relative to background samples. In addition, the report found that the Baleen prospect appears to hold a higher probability of success than other prospects.

Importantly, “a recent review of more than 850 wildcat wells – all drilled after geochemical surveys – finds that 79% of wells drilled in positive anomalies resulted in commercial oil and gas discoveries.” (Surface geochemical exploration for oil and gas: New life for an old technology, D. Schumacher, 2000, The Leading Edge ).

Advent has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration within PEP11, with the mapped prospects and leads highly prospective for the discovery of gas.

Advent has conducted a focused seismic campaign around a key drilling prospect in PEP11 at Baleen, in the offshore Sydney Basin. The high resolution 2D seismic survey covering approximately 200-line km was performed to assist in the drilling of the Baleen target approximately 30 km south east of Newcastle, New South Wales. A drilling target on the Baleen prospect at a depth of 2150 metres subsea has been identified in a review of previous seismic data. Intersecting 2D lines suggest an extrapolated 6000 acre (24.3 km2) seismic amplitude anomaly area at that drilling target. The report on this drilling target noted previous 2D seismic data showed that the Permian aged section of the Bowen Basin has producing conventional gas fields at a similar time and depth to PEP11 at the Triassic/Permian age boundary.

Advent’s prior presentation ‘Strategic Summary: Tactics to Success ‘ confirmed the strategy of “Complete current 2D seismic commitment to deliver shallow hazard survey work …to deliver ‘drill ready’ gas prospect ....for early drilling ,capturing near-term rig availability off Australia’s coast.”

The high resolution 2D seismic data over the Baleen prospect designed to evaluate (amongst other things) shallow geohazard indications including shallow gas accumulations that can affect future potential drilling operations. It is a drilling prerequisite that a site survey is made prior to drilling at the Baleen location. On 31 December 2018 MEC Resources Limited (ASX: MMR) announced that there were “no ‘seismically defined shallow gas hazards “at the proposed well location on the Baleen Prospect. Onshore Bonaparte Basin

3

BPH Ener Limited gy

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd (“Onshore”), holds 100% of RL 1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in northern Australia. The Bonaparte Basin is a highly prospective petroliferous basin, with significant reserves of oil and gas. Most of the basin is located offshore, covering 250,000 square kilometres, compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres onshore.

In the Northern Territory, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber Gas Field, originally discovered in 1985. Advent has previously advised that the 2C Contingent Resources for the Weaber Gas Field in RL1 are 11.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas following an independent audit by RISC. Significant upside 3C Contingent Resources of 45.8 Bcf have also been assessed by RISC.

The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord River Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources. Market studies have identified a current market demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power generation capacity across the Kimberley region that could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s conventional gas project RL1.

The prospectivity of the Bonaparte Basin is evident from the known oil and gas fields in both the offshore and onshore portions of the basin. Advent has identified significant shale areas in RL1.

Significant Changes in State Of Affairs

Advent has submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) an application to enable the drilling of the Baleen drill target in the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The PEP11 Joint Venture has reviewed the work program and now proposes to proceed with the drilling of a well at Baleen (to be called Seablue-1) subject to approvals from NOPTA and other regulatory authorities, and financing, and has made an application to NOPTA to change the current Permit conditions. The current permit expiry date is in February 2021. The permit remains in place during this review period. The application to NOPTA includes the extension of the permit title for up to two years to enable the drilling and includes an application for the removal of the requirement for a 500 sq. km 3D seismic program. NOPTA has confirmed that this application is now in the final decision phase.

On 5 February 2021 BPH Energy Limited (ASX: BPH) advised that investee Advent has on behalf of the PEP11 joint venture submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) a further application to suspend and extend the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The application has been made under the COVID-19 - Work Bid Exploration Permits announcement released by the Federal Government on 20 April 2020. In that release the Government recognised the that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a significant impact on the offshore petroleum sector and that additional flexibility would be required to assist titleholders to manage the COVID -19 crisis. The Joint Authority confirmed in that release that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a force majeure event. The application for a 24 month suspension of the Permit Year 4 work program commitments, with a corresponding 24 month extension of the permit term and was accepted for processing by NOPTA on 4 Feb 2021. BPH does not foresee this application interfering with the NOPTA application to extend the permit terms for PEP11.

The PEP 11 permit is in good standing as Advent’s subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (as the operator), continues preparations to drill the Baleen Gas Prospect including booking a semisubmersible drill rig for the program with the call for tender.

On 8 March 2021 BPH advised that it had appointed a Drilling Manager to facilitate the Preliminary Well Services Agreement with Add Energy relating to the preparation for drilling of the Baleen well to undertake a phased approach to provide technical support in the following areas: -

  • Review of current well design documentation

  • Develop a suitable well design and cost estimates

  • Develop drilling schedule and define a ready to drill tentative window

The scope of work to be conducted included review of existing data and latest geological prognoses for the well, documentation of the subsurface well design envelope and compilation of a preliminary well design, project costs and schedule to complete the Seablue–1 Exploration well. The report received from Add Energy documents the Basis of Well Design (BOWD) and rationale for design of the well, the well cost compilation and

the project schedule. The report addresses the revised drill target on the Baleen prospect initially announced with total depth of 2150 metres on seismic data line B4-18. Advent now intends, subject to approvals and funding, to undertake deeper drilling to also undertake evaluation of the Offshore Sydney Basin for carbon sequestration (storage). This has resulted in a revised specification of a well to target early Permian sandstones for both hydrocarbon and carbon sequestration potential with a revised total depth being set at 3150 metres.

Advent is proposing with its Joint Venture partner Bounty to use the drilling program at Baleen to investigate the potential for CCS - Carbon Capture and Storage (geo-sequestration of CO2 emissions) in PEP11. CCS can capture CO2 fossil fuel emissions. Both the International Energy agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change believe that CCS can play an important role in helping to meet global emission reduction targets. CCS is part of a suit of solutions with the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and help address climate change. The Sydney Basin is a major contributor to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions and contributes up to 34% of the total national emissions. Independent Government published research has indicated at least 2 TCF (Trillion Cubic Ft) of CO2 storage may be feasible in the offshore Sydney Basin.

Advent is a strong supporter of plans for Net Zero by 2050 and sees the company playing a direct role in achieving that target, especially in New South Wales. It aims to do this in two ways. First, by finding gas closest to Australia’s biggest domestic energy market, gas which can be used to provide reliable back-up for increased uptake of renewable energy in NSW. Second, through its plans to explore for opportunities in offshore NSW for CCS, a key clean energy technology. The significance of the carbon storage objective in addition to gas has been highlighted by the report from The Australian Financial Review (7 April 2021) “Carbon prices tipped to surge” which references dramatic action in Europe’s carbon markets with “carbon prices almost doubling in the last four months from Euro 23 (A$35) a tonne in November 2020 to Euro 41 (A$62) in March 2021 as more ambitious (carbon) markets aligned with net zero emissions goals to drive prices higher.”

Advent has signed a Preliminary Well Services Agreement (Agreement) with Add Energy (https://addenergy.no). Under the Agreement Add Energy will initiate a review of rig availability and engagement terms for the Baleen well program. Add Energy will also develop a scope of supply for regulatory and environmental compliance and review the drilling campaign schedule including a review of the program for geosequestration drilling research as part of the Baleen drill project. Add Energy provides drilling and well engineering specialized consultancy services and solutions to the energy industry on a global scale, including well design and environmental services. Add Energy is headquartered in Stavanger, Norway and operates in every region of the world from 15 locations including Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Australia.

Add Energy will deliver phased approach services to Advent Energy for the preparation and drilling of the Baleen Well PEP11. In the first stage of the phased approach, Add Energy will provide technical support in the following areas:

  • Review of current well design documentation.

  • Develop a suitable well design and cost estimates.

  • Develop drilling schedule and define a ready to drill tentative window.

The initial report received from Add Energy documents the Basis of Well Design (BOWD) and rationale for design of the well, the well cost compilation and the project schedule. The report addresses the revised drill target on the Baleen prospect initially announced with total depth of 2,150 metres on seismic data line B4-18. As advised Advent now intends, subject to approvals and funding, to undertake deeper drilling to also undertake evaluation of the Offshore Sydney Basin for carbon sequestration (storage). This has resulted in a revised specification of a well to target early Permian sandstones for both hydrocarbon and carbon sequestration potential with a revised total depth being set at 3,150 m.

On 26 February 2021 BPH advised that Advent had confirmed the engagement with Add Energy for the Xodus Group to undertake a preliminary environmental screening assessment of the proposed Seablue-1 well in preparation for drilling of the Baleen well in offshore licence PEP11. Xodus Group are a leading global energy environmental consultancy with a strong track record in the Australian offshore sector where they are subject matter experts in environmental impact assessment and regulatory approvals. The report was facilitated by the pre-existing environmental information from the prior technical work in the licence including the Environmental Plan which was accepted by the authorities for a 2D Seismic survey which was commissioned by Advent and carried out in 2018. The report has confirmed the program required to undertake an environmental impact

assessment to support the required approvals for the Seablue-1 well. The aims of the preliminary environmental impact assessment were to:

  1. Produce a detailed summary of required technical inputs;

  2. Produce a detailed summary of required environmental inputs;

  3. Outline a proposed approach for stakeholder consultation; and

  4. Identify key controls potentially required to manage the activity.

Advent subsequently appointed Xodus under a lump sum contract to prepare the Environmental Plan for first submission to NOPSEMA. Xodus’s appointment was based on their high quality of engagement, willingness to provide a staged lump sum proposal, and recent experience by their Principal Consultant in working for NOPSEMA.

Advent announced the appointment of Professor Peter Cook as an advisor on geosequestration for its project in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Professor Peter Cook is an eminent Australian and international earth scientist. He is a leader in the development and application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and has published more than 30 papers and articles on greenhouse gas technologies, including the books “Clean Energy Climate and Carbon” and “Geologically Storing Carbon”, and was an IPCC Co-ordinating Lead Author. He first drew attention to Australia’s CCS opportunity more than 20 years ago, then going on to establish national CCS programs and research facilities through the Petroleum CRC and the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC). In 2011, the University of Melbourne established the Peter Cook Centre for CCS Research.

Advent has appointed Mr Andrew Hogan as Contracts Manager for its PEP 11 Baleen well project in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Mr Hogan holds geoscience degrees from Trinity College Dublin and National University of Ireland, Galway and comes with over 30 years of Operational and Commercial experience in the upstream sector of the Energy industry. Prior to relocating to Perth in 2009 he spent 18 years based in Aberdeen working in the UK sector of the North Sea. He is well known in the Drilling and Completion community across Australia and New Zealand, having spent 24 years with one of the major oilfield Service Companies and 5 years with a major global offshore Drilling Contractor and will bring his experience to bear to assist and advise the board of Advent Energy in the procurement of key equipment and services for the safe and efficient drilling of the Baleen well in PEP11.

Advent’s 100% owned subsidiary, Asset, has issued a Call for Tender for the provision of subsea wellhead equipment, materials and associated services for the Baleen drilling program. This equipment provides the ‘foundation’ for the Seablue-1 well and is the first stage of well construction. This is an important step in the preparation and planning for the Seablue--1 well ensures that Asset will be ready to commence drilling after relevant approvals have been received. When the well has reached total depth and been fully evaluated, the well will be plugged and abandoned in line with pre-drill planning as an exploration well, and the well head and associated equipment well be removed from the seabed.

A Call for Tender for the provision of drilling rig services the Seablue-1 exploration well has also been issued. The tender has been issued to multiple drilling contractors who have semi-submersible drilling units in the region. The Seablue-1 well is planned to be drilled in 125m of water approximately 26 km offshore and approximately 30 km SSE of the City of Newcastle. The drilling of the well is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to take around 40 days to reach total depth. The Seablue-1 well has two objectives: (i) a gas target and (ii) evaluation for Carbon Capture Storage, subject to funding.

Advent’s 100% subsidiary Onshore made an application for suspension and extension of the permit conditions in EP386 which was not accepted by the Department (DMIRS). Onshore sought a review of the decision by the Minister of Resources who responded setting out a course of action in relation to that decision which Onshore is following. Onshore has lodged an appeal against this decision with the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). The appeal process is ongoing.

On 30 December 2020 Advent lodged an Offer Information Statement with ASIC for a non-renounceable entitlement issue of two (2) Shares for every three (3) shares held at an issue price of $0.05 (5 cents) per Share to raise up to $6,525,108.

During the year Advent issued 3,464,997 shares at $0.05 for $173,250 cash.

Cortical Dynamics Ltd (“Cortical”), BPH 16.7%

Cortical is an Australian based medical device technology company that has developed an industry disruptive brain function monitor independently described as “a paradigm busting technology from an Australian based device house that really gives a significant advantage in this space”. Its competitive advantage has been recognised by leading world experts in anesthesia. Cortical has received both TGA approval and the CE mark and has now commenced its sales campaign.

The core product, the Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (BARM), was developed to better detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity, aiding anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally anaesthetised. The product is focused on integrated distribution with the leading global brands in operation theatre monitoring equipment.

The approach used is fundamentally different from all other devices currently available in the market in that its underlying algorithm produces EEG indexes which are directly related to the physiological state of the patient’s brain. Such monitoring is gaining significant use during surgery, however even with the use of EEG monitors, it is not uncommon for there to be a critical imbalance between the patient’s anaesthetic requirements and the anaesthetic drugs administered. While a number of EEG monitors are commercially available, one that is reliably able to quantify the patient’s anaesthetic state is still desperately needed.

To date, all of the existing EEG based depth of anaesthesia (“D o A”) monitors operate in the context of a number of well documented limitations: (i) inability to monitor the analgesic effects; and (ii) reliably measure certain hypnotic agents.

7

BPH Ener Limited gy

The above limitations highlight the inadequacies in current EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors, particularly given surgical anaesthesia requires both hypnotic and analgesic agents (and muscle relaxants).

The global brain monitoring market is poised to grow to reach $1.6 billion by 2020. Around 312 million major surgical procedures requiring anaesthesia are undertaken every year worldwide (WHO 2012.) The pain monitoring market is valued at over $8.6 billion per annum by 2022. (www.grandviewresearch.com/industryanalysis/pain-management-devices-market- April 2016).

Initial marketing will focus on Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA), a method of inducing and maintaining general anaesthesia without the use of any inhalation agent. This is becoming more widely accepted, particularly in Europe. Approximately 29 million major general surgery general anaesthesias are conducted in the European Union each year, of which 55% (circa 16 million) are balanced anaesthesia (using a combination of intravenous agents such as propofol and volatile gases) and 20% are total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol. This creates a market opportunity of between $83m to $229m to Cortical in the European Union alone.

“The use of EEG-based depth of anaesthesia monitors has been recommended in patients receiving total intravenous anaesthesia because it is cost effective and because it is not possible to measure end-tidal anaesthetic concentration in this group” (source: nice.org.uk).

Cortical's technology has a versatility that goes beyond depth of anaesthesia and may be applied to other EEG based markets, such as neuro-diagnostic, drug discovery, drug evaluation and the emerging Brain computer Interface (BCI) market.

There are considerable opportunities offered by subsequent expansion of the company’s core technology through developing the product to carry out additional functions including neuro-diagnostics of changes in brain and memory functions to provide early warning of degenerative diseases, pain response and tranquiliser monitoring for trauma patients in intensive care units.

While the current array of bedside monitoring and imaging systems in the critical care environment has led to dramatic reductions in mortality, they do not as yet involve the continuous monitoring of brain function. This is widely acknowledged to be a major problem, as the care and management of the critically ill patient is ultimately all about the brain.

The continuous monitoring of a patients’ brain state is not only necessary to diagnose and manage acute deteriorations in brain function that may have long lasting effects, but also to aid in the optimal administration of sedation and analgesia. Sedation and analgesia in the critically ill patient play a pivotal role in their care and is necessary to minimize patient distress and agitation, being essential to facilitate the utility of a wide variety of life support equipment and procedures, the most important of which is mechanical ventilation.

Study after study has shown that too deep sedation increases the time on mechanical ventilation, which leads to increases in mortality, the incidence of complications and treatment costs. Given these acknowledged advantages to brain function monitoring in the ICU why then is continuous monitoring of brain function not currently available?

There are two main reasons for this:

  1. Firstly, the size and the complexity of configuration of most approaches to monitoring brain function are simply not capable of being adapted for use in the busy and crowded ICU environment.

  2. Secondly, in those monitoring approaches that could be potentially deployed at the bedside, they depend on physiologically uncertain principles of operation that are not relevant, or meaningfully interpretable, in the context of the critically ill patient.

Cortical aims to address both these limitations by the further development and trialling of the novel bedside and remotely deployable Australian manufactured and designed, electroencephalographically based (EEG-based), BARM system. The BARM is configured to efficiently image and display complex information related to the clinically relevant state of the brain.

8

The BARM is not only expected to address the shortcomings of these EEG-based DoA approaches, and thus realise their documented promise, but to extend the functionality of bedside EEG monitoring to the objective monitoring of pain, a measure also vital to the management of the sedated mechanically ventilated critically ill patient.

In Australia between 2015 and 2016 there were approximately 149,000 admissions to ICU of which 48,000 required continuous ventilatory support (CVS) and thus required sedation, pain relief and who would have potentially benefited from an instrumental approach to imaging brain activity. Given that the average patient time on CVS was 96 hours in Australia, this equates to potentially 4.5 million hours of instrumental monitoring and approximately a quantity of 188,000 of 24-hour single patient-use sensors to image brain activity. In the USA, based on 1.5 million ICU patients (30% CVS) requiring CVS, and given that the first episode of an average patient time on CVS is 96 hours, this equates to 144 million hours of instrumental monitoring and approximately 6 million of 24-hour single patient use sensors to image brain activity. For the European Union (EU), based on similar statistics to USA, there would be an estimated 5 million single patient use sensors, used per annum. Total market opportunity per annum of the US, Western Europe and Australian markets only, would be approximately 11.188 million 24-hour single-use patient sensors per annum, which with an average cost of $AU20 per single patient use sensor, would represent a total revenue stream conservatively estimated to be of the order of $AU223.8 million per annum.

The BARM system is protected by five patent families in multiple jurisdictions worldwide consisting of 22 granted patents. Cortical will continue to drive the development of the BAR monitor, maintain its intellectual property and concentrate on obtaining regulatory approval for the BAR monitor.

Cortical has now commenced preparations for a sales program of the device in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and further development is also underway in Korea and Singapore. A USA based distributorship is expected to follow once Cortical attains the FDA certification.

Cortical’s Brain Anesthesia Response Monitor (‘BARM”) has now been used in further successful trials at Strathfield Private Hospital in Sydney. Strathfield is part of the Ramsay private hospital group.

Cortical announced a number of developments during the period which included:-

  • Cortical confirmed the appointment of Jamie Stanistreet to the Cortical Dynamics Advisory Committee. From 2001-2018 Jamie was the Managing Director and Vice President of Medtronic Aust/NZ. Medtronic is currently ranked as the world's largest medical device company. Under his tenure Medtronic revenue grew 10-fold, and he managed over 950 employees. Medtronic's focus on Medical devices includes Cardiology, Spine, Surgery, Brain Modulation, ENT, Pain, Stroke & Diabetes. He was a member of the APAC Leadership Team. Jamie also served as Vice Chairman with the Medical Technology Association of Australia for several years. Jamie has over 40 years’ experience in the Medical Device industry and is an accountant by trade. He was finalist in the CEO Magazine Executive of the year award 2014 - 2015 and won the Medical Technology Association of Australia inaugural Outstanding Achievement Award 2013. Jamie’s experience, connections and knowledge will be invaluable to the commercial development of Cortical Dynamics.

  • Cortical announced that its "Project Analgesia Investigation” BARM has been accepted by the Medical Device Partnering Program (MDPP) of Flinders University. Led by Professor Karen Reynolds. The MDPP has a strong track record of research excellence and commercialisation experience. The MDPP leverages the capacity of their research organisation, the Medical Device Research Institute (MDRI), and facilitates partnerships across industry and government connecting the MedTech ecosystem and turning ideas into proven concepts. It is supported by the Marshall Liberal Government through the Department for Innovation and Skills, and nationally through MTPConnect’s $32 million Researcher Exchange and Development within Industry (REDI) initiative made possible by the Medical Research Future Fund. The Ideas Incubator provides successful applicants with 250 hours of research and development assistance, as well as 30 hours market intelligence, furthering products in medical device development pipeline. At the end of the project, all results, data, prototypes and any generated intellectual property are released unencumbered to the applicant with future steps required to commercialise the device. The focus of the collaboration will be further investigation of the Cortical Input component (CI or pain) of the BARM technology.

  • Cortical has also entered into a nonexclusive Licence and Co-operation Agreement with Philips Healthcare North America Corp (“Philips”), which will enable Cortical to interface its Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (“BARM”) into the Philips IntelliVue and Patient Information Center (PIC iX) Monitoring Systems using the IntelliBridge integration product line.

  • Cortical has begun the FDA 510K filing process for BARM in the USA assisted by its strategic investor Intuitive X (“IX”). The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is the federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services which regulates the sale of medical device products (including diagnostic tests) in the U.S. and monitors the safety of all regulated medical products. FDA approval is a necessary precursor for sales of BARM to commence in the USA. Cortical already has achieved both CE (Europe) and TGA (Australian) registration.

  • Cortical has developed an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the BARM, providing critical patent protection across a number of key brain monitoring markets. Cortical’s competitive advantage is underpinned by a strong patent position covered by five patent families and 22 granted patents. Currently, Cortical has patents awarded in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, Europe and the United States. During the year Cortical announced the issuance of European Patent Number 2088924 “Neurodiagnostic Monitoring and display System” in Belgium, France, Germany and United Kingdom. The patent application for “Apparatus and process for measuring brain activity “has been given International (PCT) Patent Application No. PCT/AU2020/050535.

  • The BARM next generation medical brain monitor was exhibited at the 2020 Spring Development seminar and Council of the Korean Association of Anaesthesia. Cortical’s Korean distributor, Globaluck, presented the BARM at this conference at the BEXCO Convention Hall in Busan South Korea on July 24th to 25th. During the year Cortical secured approval by the South Korean regulator, The Korean Ministry for Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS), to sell its BARM in the South Korean Market. The BARM and Cortical Dynamics met the stringent KMFDS requirements both for the BARM technology and for medical device manufacturers, including the requirements related to the Quality Management System (QMS). In particular, the QMS established by the manufacturer should comply with the national requirements based on the international standard ISO 13485. South Korea’s medical device market ranks as the ninth largest in the world at an estimated US$6.8 billion 2019, showing continuous grow with 8.1% annual increase. Cortical will now work with its South Korean distributor, Global Luck, to introduce BARM to the Korean market. This approval by KMFDS complements the existing CE and TGA approvals already in place.

  • Cortical has entered into a non-exclusive Licence and Co-operation Agreement with Philips Healthcare North America Corp (“Philips”), which will enable Cortical to interface its Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (“BARM”) into the Philips IntelliVue and Patient Information Center (PIC iX) Monitoring Systems using the IntelliBridge integration product line.

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited, BPH 20%

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (“MDSystems”), launched in 2006 and spun off from BPH in 2010, is an associate of BPH. MDSystems has been working with the Molecular Cancer Research Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer.

The Molecular Cancer Research Group has developed a pre-clinical model of liver cancer where the expression of HLS5 is ablated i.e. it mimics, in part, patients that have low HLS5 (TRIM35) and develop liver cancer. Research conducted at the Perkins Institute has shown that HLS5 has significant tumour suppressor properties. The Perkins findings are supported by the two independent peer reviewed scientific publications, identifying a role for HLS5 in cancer, demonstrating that the loss of HLS5 expression may be a critical event in the development and progression of liver cancer.

The publications — a collaboration between Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre and other Chinese Institutes, including Shanghai Cancer Institute, Liver Cancer Institute, Second Military Medical University and Qi Dong Liver Cancer Institute —focused on identifying the role of HLS5 in liver cancer. The first article demonstrated that HLS5 binds a key enzyme involved in the production of energy for cancer cells (Pyruvate Kinase isoform M2 (PKM2)). They showed that HLS5 binds PKM2 to form a complex which inhibits the activation of PKM2. The formation of this HLS5/PKM2 complex ultimately limits the cancer cell’s means of energy production and its ability to proliferate. In the second publication the expression levels of HLS5 and PKM2 were assessed for potential use as a prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - (liver cancer) .The study analysed liver samples of 688 patients who had HCC. The study found that patients who were positive for PKM2 expression and negative for HLS5 expression had poorer overall survival and shorter time to recurrence. Taken together, the findings of both papers further support the research into HLS5 by MDS and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

(i) On 5 February 2021 BPH Energy Limited (ASX: BPH) advised that investee Advent has on behalf of the PEP11 joint venture submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) a further application to suspend and extend the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The application has been made under the COVID-19 -Work Bid Exploration Permits announcement released by the Federal Government on 20 April 2020.

In that release the Government recognised the that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a significant impact on the offshore petroleum sector and that additional flexibility would be required to assist titleholders to manage the COVID -19 crisis. The Joint Authority confirmed in that release that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a force majeure event. The application for a 24 month suspension of the Permit Year 4 work program commitments, with a corresponding 24 month extension of the permit term and was accepted for processing by NOPTA on 4 Feb 2021. BPH does not foresee this application interfering with the NOPTA application to extend the permit terms for PEP11.

The PEP 11 permit is in good standing as Advent’s subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (as the operator), continues preparations to drill the Baleen Gas Prospect including booking a semisubmersible drill rig for the program with the call for tender.

On 30 December 2020 Advent lodged an Offer Information Statement with ASIC for a nonrenounceable entitlement issue of two (2) Shares for every three (3) shares held at an issue price of $0.05 (5 cents) per Share to raise up to $6,525,108. The Offer is partially underwritten by related party Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd (ABN 84 087 432 353) (AFSL 517246) and sub-underwritten up to $2,271,450. Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd is also Lead Manager to the Offer.

4. Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method (continued)

In February 2021 BPH raised $9 million in a share placement. BPH advised ASX that approximately $5.75 million of the proceeds of the placement will be used by BPH primarily to invest in Advent to progress well planning, engineering and environmental approvals for drilling at the Baleen drill target in the PEP11 offshore permit in NSW.

The directors have confidence that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there is no certainty at this stage of further funding being made available. Asset Energy Pty Ltd has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title and, along with its JV partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any petroleum accumulations which may be identified in this title area. If Advent is unable to source further funding for each of PEP11 and RL1 each of these permits are at risk.

The above conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may affect the ability of Advent to realise the carrying value of the exploration assets in the ordinary course of business and may affect the ability of the Company to realise the carrying value of its loan receivables and its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business.

(ii) The carrying value of Molecular Discovery Systems Limited was fully impaired during the prior period. The Molecular Discovery Systems Limited 30 June 2021 financial statements are still in the process of being audited.

Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited

Investments

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”), BPH 21.9%

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”) is an unlisted oil and gas exploration and development company with onshore and offshore exploration and near-term development assets around Australia. Advent’s assets include PEP11 (85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin and RL1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the Northern territory.

PEP 11 Oil and Gas Permit

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd “(Asset”), holds 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP 11 – an exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin.

PEP 11 is a significant offshore exploration area with large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion cubic feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs. Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km from the Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle greater metropolitan area and gas pipeline network.

The offshore Sydney Basin has been lightly explored to date, including a multi-vintage 2D seismic data coverage and a single exploration well, New Seaclem-1 (2010). Its position as the only petroleum title offshore New South Wales provides a significant opportunity should natural gas be discovered in commercial quantities in this petroleum title. It lies adjacent to the Sydney-Newcastle region and the existing natural gas network servicing the east coast gas market. The total P50 Prospective Resource calculated for the PEP11 prospect inventory is 5.9 Tcf with a net 5 Tcf to Advent (85%WI). The two largest prospects in the inventory are Fish and Baleen.

Advent has previously interpreted significant seismically indicated gas features in PEP11. Key indicators of hydrocarbon accumulation features have been interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data (reprocessed in 2010). The seismic features include apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones (HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) anomalies and potential flat spots.

In addition, a geochemical report has provided support for a potential exploration well in PEP11. The report reviewed the hydrocarbon analysis performed on sediment samples obtained in PEP11 during 2010. The 2010 geochemical investigation utilised a proprietary commercial hydrocarbon adsorption and laboratory analysis technique to assess the levels of naturally occurring hydrocarbons in the seabed sediment samples.

The report supports that the Baleen prospect appears best for hydrocarbon influence relative to background samples. In addition, the report found that the Baleen prospect appears to hold a higher probability of success than other prospects.

Importantly, “a recent review of more than 850 wildcat wells – all drilled after geochemical surveys – finds that 79% of wells drilled in positive anomalies resulted in commercial oil and gas discoveries.” (Surface geochemical exploration for oil and gas: New life for an old technology, D. Schumacher, 2000, The Leading Edge ).

Advent has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration within PEP11, with the mapped prospects and leads highly prospective for the discovery of gas.

Advent has conducted a focused seismic campaign around a key drilling prospect in PEP11 at Baleen, in the offshore Sydney Basin. The high resolution 2D seismic survey covering approximately 200-line km was performed to assist in the drilling of the Baleen target approximately 30 km south east of Newcastle, New South Wales. A drilling target on the Baleen prospect at a depth of 2150 metres subsea has been identified in a review of previous seismic data. Intersecting 2D lines suggest an extrapolated 6000 acre (24.3 km2) seismic amplitude anomaly area at that drilling target. The report on this drilling target noted previous 2D seismic data showed that the Permian aged section of the Bowen Basin has producing conventional gas fields at a similar time and depth to PEP11 at the Triassic/Permian age boundary.

Review of Operations

BPH Energy Limited

Advent’s prior presentation ‘Strategic Summary: Tactics to Success ‘ confirmed the strategy of “Complete current 2D seismic commitment to deliver shallow hazard survey work …to deliver ‘drill ready’ gas prospect ....for early drilling ,capturing near-term rig availability off Australia’s coast.”

The high resolution 2D seismic data over the Baleen prospect designed to evaluate (amongst other things) shallow geohazard indications including shallow gas accumulations that can affect future potential drilling operations. It is a drilling prerequisite that a site survey is made prior to drilling at the Baleen location. On 31 December 2018 MEC Resources Limited (ASX: MMR) announced that there were “no ‘seismically defined shallow gas hazards “at the proposed well location on the Baleen Prospect.

Onshore Bonaparte Basin

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd (“Onshore”), holds 100% of RL 1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in northern Australia. The Bonaparte Basin is a highly prospective petroliferous basin, with significant reserves of oil and gas. Most of the basin is located offshore, covering 250,000 square kilometres, compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres onshore.

In the Northern Territory, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber Gas Field, originally discovered in 1985. Advent has previously advised that the 2C Contingent Resources for the Weaber Gas Field in RL1 are 11.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas following an independent audit by RISC. Significant upside 3C Contingent Resources of 45.8 Bcf have also been assessed by RISC.

The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord River Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources. Market studies have identified a current market demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power generation capacity across the Kimberley region that could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s conventional gas project RL1.

The prospectivity of the Bonaparte Basin is evident from the known oil and gas fields in both the offshore and onshore portions of the basin. Advent has identified significant shale areas in RL1.

Significant Changes in State Of Affairs

Advent has submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) an application to enable the drilling of the Baleen drill target in the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The PEP11 Joint Venture has reviewed the work program and now proposes to proceed with the drilling of a well at Baleen (to be called Seablue-1) subject to approvals from NOPTA and other regulatory authorities, and financing, and has made an application to NOPTA to change the current Permit conditions. The current permit expiry date is in February 2021. The permit remains in place during this review period. The application to NOPTA includes the extension of the permit title for up to two years to enable the drilling and includes an application for the removal of the requirement for a 500 sq. km 3D seismic program. NOPTA has confirmed that this application is now in the final decision phase.

On 5 February 2021 BPH Energy Limited (ASX: BPH) advised that investee Advent has on behalf of the PEP11 joint venture submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) a further application to suspend and extend the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The application has been made under the COVID-19 - Work Bid Exploration Permits announcement released by the Federal Government on 20 April 2020. In that release the Government recognised the that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a significant impact on the offshore petroleum sector and that additional flexibility would be required to assist titleholders to manage the COVID -19 crisis. The Joint Authority confirmed in that release that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a force majeure event. The application for a 24 month suspension of the Permit Year 4 work program commitments, with a corresponding 24 month extension of the permit term and was accepted for processing by NOPTA on 4 Feb 2021. BPH does not foresee this application interfering with the NOPTA application to extend the permit terms for PEP11.

Review of Operations

BPH Energy Limited

The PEP 11 permit is in good standing as Advent’s subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (as the operator), continues preparations to drill the Baleen Gas Prospect including booking a semisubmersible drill rig for the program with the call for tender.

On 8 March 2021 BPH advised that it had appointed a Drilling Manager to facilitate the Preliminary Well Services Agreement with Add Energy relating to the preparation for drilling of the Baleen well to undertake a phased approach to provide technical support in the following areas: -

  • Review of current well design documentation

  • Develop a suitable well design and cost estimates

  • Develop drilling schedule and define a ready to drill tentative window

The scope of work to be conducted included review of existing data and latest geological prognoses for the well, documentation of the subsurface well design envelope and compilation of a preliminary well design, project costs and schedule to complete the Seablue–1 Exploration well. The report received from Add Energy documents the Basis of Well Design (BOWD) and rationale for design of the well, the well cost compilation and the project schedule. The report addresses the revised drill target on the Baleen prospect initially announced with total depth of 2150 metres on seismic data line B4-18. Advent now intends, subject to approvals and funding, to undertake deeper drilling to also undertake evaluation of the Offshore Sydney Basin for carbon sequestration (storage). This has resulted in a revised specification of a well to target early Permian sandstones for both hydrocarbon and carbon sequestration potential with a revised total depth being set at 3150 metres.

Advent is proposing with its Joint Venture partner Bounty to use the drilling program at Baleen to investigate the potential for CCS - Carbon Capture and Storage (geo-sequestration of CO2 emissions) in PEP11. CCS can capture CO2 fossil fuel emissions. Both the International Energy agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change believe that CCS can play an important role in helping to meet global emission reduction targets. CCS is part of a suit of solutions with the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and help address climate change. The Sydney Basin is a major contributor to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions and contributes up to 34% of the total national emissions. Independent Government published research has indicated at least 2 TCF (Trillion Cubic Ft) of CO2 storage may be feasible in the offshore Sydney Basin.

Advent is a strong supporter of plans for Net Zero by 2050 and sees the company playing a direct role in achieving that target, especially in New South Wales. It aims to do this in two ways. First, by finding gas closest to Australia’s biggest domestic energy market, gas which can be used to provide reliable back-up for increased uptake of renewable energy in NSW. Second, through its plans to explore for opportunities in offshore NSW for CCS, a key clean energy technology. The significance of the carbon storage objective in addition to gas has been highlighted by the report from The Australian Financial Review (7 April 2021) “Carbon prices tipped to surge” which references dramatic action in Europe’s carbon markets with “carbon prices almost doubling in the last four months from Euro 23 (A$35) a tonne in November 2020 to Euro 41 (A$62) in March 2021 as more ambitious (carbon) markets aligned with net zero emissions goals to drive prices higher.”

Advent has signed a Preliminary Well Services Agreement (Agreement) with Add Energy (https://addenergy.no). Under the Agreement Add Energy will initiate a review of rig availability and engagement terms for the Baleen well program. Add Energy will also develop a scope of supply for regulatory and environmental compliance and review the drilling campaign schedule including a review of the program for geosequestration drilling research as part of the Baleen drill project. Add Energy provides drilling and well engineering specialized consultancy services and solutions to the energy industry on a global scale, including well design and environmental services. Add Energy is headquartered in Stavanger, Norway and operates in every region of the world from 15 locations including Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Australia.

Add Energy will deliver phased approach services to Advent Energy for the preparation and drilling of the Baleen Well PEP11. In the first stage of the phased approach, Add Energy will provide technical support in the following areas:

  • Review of current well design documentation.

  • Develop a suitable well design and cost estimates.

  • Develop drilling schedule and define a ready to drill tentative window.

Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited

The initial report received from Add Energy documents the Basis of Well Design (BOWD) and rationale for design of the well, the well cost compilation and the project schedule. The report addresses the revised drill target on the Baleen prospect initially announced with total depth of 2,150 metres on seismic data line B4-18. As advised Advent now intends, subject to approvals and funding, to undertake deeper drilling to also undertake evaluation of the Offshore Sydney Basin for carbon sequestration (storage). This has resulted in a revised specification of a well to target early Permian sandstones for both hydrocarbon and carbon sequestration potential with a revised total depth being set at 3,150 m.

On 26 February 2021 BPH advised that Advent had confirmed the engagement with Add Energy for the Xodus Group to undertake a preliminary environmental screening assessment of the proposed Seablue-1 well in preparation for drilling of the Baleen well in offshore licence PEP11. Xodus Group are a leading global energy environmental consultancy with a strong track record in the Australian offshore sector where they are subject matter experts in environmental impact assessment and regulatory approvals. The report was facilitated by the pre-existing environmental information from the prior technical work in the licence including the Environmental Plan which was accepted by the authorities for a 2D Seismic survey which was commissioned by Advent and carried out in 2018. The report has confirmed the program required to undertake an environmental impact assessment to support the required approvals for the Seablue-1 well. The aims of the preliminary environmental impact assessment were to:

  1. Produce a detailed summary of required technical inputs;

  2. Produce a detailed summary of required environmental inputs;

  3. Outline a proposed approach for stakeholder consultation; and

  4. Identify key controls potentially required to manage the activity.

Advent subsequently appointed Xodus under a lump sum contract to prepare the Environmental Plan for first submission to NOPSEMA. Xodus’s appointment was based on their high quality of engagement, willingness to provide a staged lump sum proposal, and recent experience by their Principal Consultant in working for NOPSEMA.

Advent announced the appointment of Professor Peter Cook as an advisor on geosequestration for its project in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Professor Peter Cook is an eminent Australian and international earth scientist. He is a leader in the development and application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and has published more than 30 papers and articles on greenhouse gas technologies, including the books “Clean Energy Climate and Carbon” and “Geologically Storing Carbon”, and was an IPCC Co-ordinating Lead Author. He first drew attention to Australia’s CCS opportunity more than 20 years ago, then going on to establish national CCS programs and research facilities through the Petroleum CRC and the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC). In 2011, the University of Melbourne established the Peter Cook Centre for CCS Research.

Advent has appointed Mr Andrew Hogan as Contracts Manager for its PEP 11 Baleen well project in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Mr Hogan holds geoscience degrees from Trinity College Dublin and National University of Ireland, Galway and comes with over 30 years of Operational and Commercial experience in the upstream sector of the Energy industry. Prior to relocating to Perth in 2009 he spent 18 years based in Aberdeen working in the UK sector of the North Sea. He is well known in the Drilling and Completion community across Australia and New Zealand, having spent 24 years with one of the major oilfield Service Companies and 5 years with a major global offshore Drilling Contractor and will bring his experience to bear to assist and advise the board of Advent Energy in the procurement of key equipment and services for the safe and efficient drilling of the Baleen well in PEP11.

Advent’s 100% owned subsidiary, Asset, has issued a Call for Tender for the provision of subsea wellhead equipment, materials and associated services for the Baleen drilling program. This equipment provides the ‘foundation’ for the Seablue-1 well and is the first stage of well construction. This is an important step in the preparation and planning for the Seablue--1 well ensures that Asset will be ready to commence drilling after relevant approvals have been received. When the well has reached total depth and been fully evaluated, the well will be plugged and abandoned in line with pre-drill planning as an exploration well, and the well head and associated equipment well be removed from the seabed.

Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited

A Call for Tender for the provision of drilling rig services the Seablue-1 exploration well has also been issued. The tender has been issued to multiple drilling contractors who have semi-submersible drilling units in the region. The Seablue-1 well is planned to be drilled in 125m of water approximately 26 km offshore and approximately 30 km SSE of the City of Newcastle. The drilling of the well is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to take around 40 days to reach total depth. The Seablue-1 well has two objectives: (i) a gas target and (ii) evaluation for Carbon Capture Storage, subject to funding.

Advent’s 100% subsidiary Onshore made an application for suspension and extension of the permit conditions in EP386 which was not accepted by the Department (DMIRS). Onshore sought a review of the decision by the Minister of Resources who responded setting out a course of action in relation to that decision which Onshore is following. Onshore has lodged an appeal against this decision with the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). The appeal process is ongoing.

On 30 December 2020 Advent lodged an Offer Information Statement with ASIC for a non-renounceable entitlement issue of two (2) Shares for every three (3) shares held at an issue price of $0.05 (5 cents) per Share to raise up to $6,525,108. The Offer is partially underwritten by related party Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd (ABN 84 087 432 353) (AFSL 517246) and sub-underwritten up to $2,271,450. Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd is also Lead Manager to the Offer.

The Directors of MEC announced during the year that it had entered into a settlement agreement with both Advent and its subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (Asset) in relation to writs and demands issued by both Advent and Asset. On 2 October 2020 MEC had announced entering into a Standstill Agreement the effect of which was to allow the parties time to negotiate a resolution of the pending claims. Following legal and audit consultation by MEC directors Douglas Verley and Andrew Jones, and further negotiations with Advent and Asset, a resolution and settlement has been reached.

Key points to note are as follows;

  • MEC holds a 47.6% interest in its investee company Advent, which is owed a total of $242,155 by MEC. Further, Advent owns 100% of Asset which is owed a total $593,343 plus interest and costs of $36,790 by MEC giving a total of $872,288 arising for outstanding loans owing (together knows as the Advent Debt). Advent has informed MEC of its intension to withdraw its prior request for an in-specie distribution subject to settlement of its claim total of $872,288.

  • Following advice from its legal advisor and the company’s auditors MEC has acknowledged the Advent Debt.

  • MEC, Advent and Asset have agreed a debt for equity conversion for the Advent Debt pursuant to which the total $872,288 of the Advent Debt will convert to equity in the company, subject to Shareholder approval (Advent Debt Conversion).

  • Under the Advent Debt Conversion, MEC has agreed (subject to Shareholder approval) to issue 198,237,045 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.0044 per Share to Advent to settle $872,288 of the Advent Debt as a full and final settlement in the following manner (i) by issue of 124,708,409 Shares (subject to Shareholder approval) at a deemed issue price of $0.0044 per Share to clear $511,972 plus interest and costs of $36,790 of the Advent Debt; and (ii) by allowing Advent to participate in a future rights issue to the extent of 73,528,636 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.0044 per Share to settle the remaining balance of the Advent Debt being $323,526.

MEC is currently in discussions with the ASX and concurrently working on a Notice of Meeting. MEC will release the Notice of Meeting once it is approved by the ASX.

Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited

Cortical Dynamics Ltd (“Cortical”), BPH 16.7%

Cortical is an Australian based medical device technology company that has developed an industry disruptive brain function monitor independently described as “a paradigm busting technology from an Australian based device house that really gives a significant advantage in this space”. Its competitive advantage has been recognised by leading world experts in anesthesia. Cortical has received both TGA approval and the CE mark and has now commenced its sales campaign.

The core product, the Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (BARM), was developed to better detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity, aiding anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally anaesthetised. The product is focused on integrated distribution with the leading global brands in operation theatre monitoring equipment.

The approach used is fundamentally different from all other devices currently available in the market in that its underlying algorithm produces EEG indexes which are directly related to the physiological state of the patient’s brain. Such monitoring is gaining significant use during surgery, however even with the use of EEG monitors, it is not uncommon for there to be a critical imbalance between the patient’s anaesthetic requirements and the anaesthetic drugs administered. While a number of EEG monitors are commercially available, one that is reliably able to quantify the patient’s anaesthetic state is still desperately needed.

To date, all of the existing EEG based depth of anaesthesia (“D o A”) monitors operate in the context of a number of well documented limitations: (i) inability to monitor the analgesic effects; and (ii) reliably measure certain hypnotic agents.

The above limitations highlight the inadequacies in current EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors, particularly given surgical anaesthesia requires both hypnotic and analgesic agents (and muscle relaxants).

The global brain monitoring market is poised to grow to reach $1.6 billion by 2020. Around 312 million major surgical procedures requiring anaesthesia are undertaken every year worldwide (WHO 2012.) The pain monitoring market is valued at over $8.6 billion per annum by 2022. (www.grandviewresearch.com/industryanalysis/pain-management-devices-market- April 2016).

Initial marketing will focus on Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA), a method of inducing and maintaining general anaesthesia without the use of any inhalation agent. This is becoming more widely accepted, particularly in Europe. Approximately 29 million major general surgery general anaesthesias are conducted in the European Union each year, of which 55% (circa 16 million) are balanced anaesthesia (using a combination of intravenous agents such as propofol and volatile gases) and 20% are total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol. This creates a market opportunity of between $83m to $229m to Cortical in the European Union alone.

“The use of EEG-based depth of anaesthesia monitors has been recommended in patients receiving total intravenous anaesthesia because it is cost effective and because it is not possible to measure end-tidal anaesthetic concentration in this group” (source: nice.org.uk).

Cortical's technology has a versatility that goes beyond depth of anaesthesia and may be applied to other EEG based markets, such as neuro-diagnostic, drug discovery, drug evaluation and the emerging Brain computer Interface (BCI) market.

There are considerable opportunities offered by subsequent expansion of the company’s core technology through developing the product to carry out additional functions including neuro-diagnostics of changes in brain and memory functions to provide early warning of degenerative diseases, pain response and tranquiliser monitoring for trauma patients in intensive care units.

While the current array of bedside monitoring and imaging systems in the critical care environment has led to dramatic reductions in mortality, they do not as yet involve the continuous monitoring of brain function. This is widely acknowledged to be a major problem, as the care and management of the critically ill patient is ultimately all about the brain.

Review of Operations

BPH Energy Limited

The continuous monitoring of a patients’ brain state is not only necessary to diagnose and manage acute deteriorations in brain function that may have long lasting effects, but also to aid in the optimal administration of sedation and analgesia. Sedation and analgesia in the critically ill patient play a pivotal role in their care and is necessary to minimize patient distress and agitation, being essential to facilitate the utility of a wide variety of life support equipment and procedures, the most important of which is mechanical ventilation.

Study after study has shown that too deep sedation increases the time on mechanical ventilation, which leads to increases in mortality, the incidence of complications and treatment costs. Given these acknowledged advantages to brain function monitoring in the ICU why then is continuous monitoring of brain function not currently available?

There are two main reasons for this:

  1. Firstly, the size and the complexity of configuration of most approaches to monitoring brain function are simply not capable of being adapted for use in the busy and crowded ICU environment.

  2. Secondly, in those monitoring approaches that could be potentially deployed at the bedside, they depend on physiologically uncertain principles of operation that are not relevant, or meaningfully interpretable, in the context of the critically ill patient.

Cortical aims to address both these limitations by the further development and trialling of the novel bedside and remotely deployable Australian manufactured and designed, electroencephalographically based (EEG-based), BARM system. The BARM is configured to efficiently image and display complex information related to the clinically relevant state of the brain.

The BARM is not only expected to address the shortcomings of these EEG-based DoA approaches, and thus realise their documented promise, but to extend the functionality of bedside EEG monitoring to the objective monitoring of pain, a measure also vital to the management of the sedated mechanically ventilated critically ill patient.

In Australia between 2015 and 2016 there were approximately 149,000 admissions to ICU of which 48,000 required continuous ventilatory support (CVS) and thus required sedation, pain relief and who would have potentially benefited from an instrumental approach to imaging brain activity. Given that the average patient time on CVS was 96 hours in Australia, this equates to potentially 4.5 million hours of instrumental monitoring and approximately a quantity of 188,000 of 24-hour single patient-use sensors to image brain activity. In the USA, based on 1.5 million ICU patients (30% CVS) requiring CVS, and given that the first episode of an average patient time on CVS is 96 hours, this equates to 144 million hours of instrumental monitoring and approximately 6 million of 24-hour single patient use sensors to image brain activity. For the European Union (EU), based on similar statistics to USA, there would be an estimated 5 million single patient use sensors, used per annum. Total market opportunity per annum of the US, Western Europe and Australian markets only, would be approximately 11.188 million 24-hour single-use patient sensors per annum, which with an average cost of $AU20 per single patient use sensor, would represent a total revenue stream conservatively estimated to be of the order of $AU223.8 million per annum.

The BARM system is protected by five patent families in multiple jurisdictions worldwide consisting of 22 granted patents. Cortical will continue to drive the development of the BAR monitor, maintain its intellectual property and concentrate on obtaining regulatory approval for the BAR monitor.

Cortical has now commenced preparations for a sales program of the device in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and further development is also underway in Korea and Singapore. A USA based distributorship is expected to follow once Cortical attains the FDA certification.

Cortical’s Brain Anesthesia Response Monitor (‘BARM”) has now been used in further successful trials at Strathfield Private Hospital in Sydney. Strathfield is part of the Ramsay private hospital group.

Cortical announced a number of developments during the period which included:-

Jamie’s experience, connections and knowledge will be invaluable to the commercial development of Cortical Dynamics.

  • Cortical announced that its "Project Analgesia Investigation” BARM has been accepted by the Medical Device Partnering Program (MDPP) of Flinders University. Led by Professor Karen Reynolds. The MDPP has a strong track record of research excellence and commercialisation experience. The MDPP leverages the capacity of their research organisation, the Medical Device Research Institute (MDRI), and facilitates partnerships across industry and government connecting the MedTech ecosystem and turning ideas into proven concepts. It is supported by the Marshall Liberal Government through the Department for Innovation and Skills, and nationally through MTPConnect’s $32 million Researcher Exchange and Development within Industry (REDI) initiative made possible by the Medical Research Future Fund. The Ideas Incubator provides successful applicants with 250 hours of research and development assistance, as well as 30 hours market intelligence, furthering products in medical device development pipeline. At the end of the project, all results, data, prototypes and any generated intellectual property are released unencumbered to the applicant with future steps required to commercialise the device. The focus of the collaboration will be further investigation of the Cortical Input component (CI or pain) of the BARM technology.

  • Cortical has also entered into a nonexclusive Licence and Co-operation Agreement with Philips Healthcare North America Corp (“Philips”), which will enable Cortical to interface its Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (“BARM”) into the Philips IntelliVue and Patient Information Center (PIC iX) Monitoring Systems using the IntelliBridge integration product line.

  • Cortical has begun the FDA 510K filing process for BARM in the USA assisted by its strategic investor Intuitive X (“IX”). The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is the federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services which regulates the sale of medical device products (including diagnostic tests) in the U.S. and monitors the safety of all regulated medical products. FDA approval is a necessary precursor for sales of BARM to commence in the USA. Cortical already has achieved both CE (Europe) and TGA (Australian) registration.

  • Cortical has developed an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the BARM, providing critical patent protection across a number of key brain monitoring markets. Cortical’s competitive advantage is underpinned by a strong patent position covered by five patent families and 22 granted patents. Currently, Cortical has patents awarded in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, Europe and the United States. During the year Cortical announced the issuance of European Patent Number 2088924 “Neurodiagnostic Monitoring and display System” in Belgium, France, Germany and United Kingdom. The patent application for “Apparatus and process for measuring brain activity “has been given International (PCT) Patent Application No. PCT/AU2020/050535.

  • The BARM next generation medical brain monitor was exhibited at the 2020 Spring Development seminar and Council of the Korean Association of Anaesthesia. Cortical’s Korean distributor, Globaluck, presented the BARM at this conference at the BEXCO Convention Hall in Busan South Korea on July 24th to 25th. During the year Cortical secured approval by the South Korean regulator, The Korean Ministry for Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS), to sell its BARM in the South Korean Market. The BARM and Cortical Dynamics met the stringent KMFDS requirements both for the BARM technology and for medical device manufacturers, including the requirements related to the Quality Management System (QMS). In particular, the QMS established by the manufacturer should comply with the national requirements based on the international standard ISO 13485. South Korea’s medical device market

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited, BPH 20%

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (“MDSystems”), launched in 2006 and spun off from BPH in 2010, is an associate of BPH. MDSystems has been working with the Molecular Cancer Research Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer.

The Molecular Cancer Research Group has developed a pre-clinical model of liver cancer where the expression of HLS5 is ablated i.e. it mimics, in part, patients that have low HLS5 (TRIM35) and develop liver cancer. Research conducted at the Perkins Institute has shown that HLS5 has significant tumour suppressor properties. The Perkins findings are supported by the two independent peer reviewed scientific publications, identifying a role for HLS5 in cancer, demonstrating that the loss of HLS5 expression may be a critical event in the development and progression of liver cancer.

The publications — a collaboration between Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre and other Chinese Institutes, including Shanghai Cancer Institute, Liver Cancer Institute, Second Military Medical University and Qi Dong Liver Cancer Institute —focused on identifying the role of HLS5 in liver cancer. The first article demonstrated that HLS5 binds a key enzyme involved in the production of energy for cancer cells (Pyruvate Kinase isoform M2 (PKM2)). They showed that HLS5 binds PKM2 to form a complex which inhibits the activation of PKM2. The formation of this HLS5/PKM2 complex ultimately limits the cancer cell’s means of energy production and its ability to proliferate. In the second publication the expression levels of HLS5 and PKM2 were assessed for potential use as a prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - (liver cancer) .The study analysed liver samples of 688 patients who had HCC. The study found that patients who were positive for PKM2 expression and negative for HLS5 expression had poorer overall survival and shorter time to recurrence. Taken together, the findings of both papers further support the research into HLS5 by MDS and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

The remuneration report as contained in the June 2020 financial report was adopted at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting held on 10 December 2020. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

13

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.

  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

  • The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed with each executive and is based predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the Company. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The Company did not engage remuneration consultants during the period.

The executive directors and executives which receive salaries receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum pool of non-executive director fees approved by shareholders is $250,000. Payments to non-executive directors are based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required on payments to non-executive directors. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan. The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation to the shares and options provided.

Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives

The employment conditions of the Managing Director, David Breeze, is formalised in a Product Development Agreement. The engagement is automatically extended for a period of 2 years at each anniversary date unless the Managing Director or the Company give notice of termination prior to the expiry of each term. The agreement stipulates the Managing Director may terminate the engagement with a six month notice period. The company may terminate the agreement without cause by providing six months written notice or making payment in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annual salary component together with a redundancy payment of up to twelve months of the individual’s fixed salary component. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct the company can terminate employment at any time. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will not lapse.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 BPH Energy Limited

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 16 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

(ii) Changes in ownership interests

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

24

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 BPH Energy Limited

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised.

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

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Tax incentives

The Company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions in relation to qualifying expenditure. As the Company is not in a position to recognise current income tax payable or current tax expense, a refundable tax offset will be received in cash and recognised as rebate revenue in the period the underlying expenses have been incurred.

(c) Financial Instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:

25

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 BPH Energy Limited

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Financial Instruments (continued)

  • amortised cost

  • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

  • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

  • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

The classification is determined by both:

  • the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset, and

  • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows

  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply. The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

(iii) Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. This category includes unlisted equity securities that were previously classified as ‘available-for-sale’ under AASB 139. Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) are not recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

(c) Financial Instruments (continued)

(iv) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at debt FVOCI. The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:

• they are held under a business model whose objective it is to “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell financial assets; and

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included loans and other debttype financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Level 1’) and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Level 2’).

• ‘Level 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probabilityweighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

(d) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Short term employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Long term employee benefits have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits using the corporate bond rate.

(e) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(g) Revenue and Other Income

Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”).

(h) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(i) Trade and other payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 90 days. Trade and other payables are recognised at amortised cost.

(j) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated as net profit / loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(k) Investments in Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises the Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Where an investment is classified as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 9, at the date significant influence is achieved, the fair value of the investment needs to be assessed. Any fair value gains are recognised in accordance with the treatment the classification the financial asset as required by AASB 9.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the a consolidated entity retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the consolidated entity measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 9. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gains or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the consolidated entity accounts for all amounts previously recognised other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the consolidated entity reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Share-based payments

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options and the fair value of shares and options issued to consultants is measured at the fair value of services received.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statement of financial position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

(m) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, the directors (see Note 23).

(n) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have reviewed new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting periods. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is likely to company accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2021

In the 12 month period ended 30 June 2021, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

(i) On 5 February 2021 BPH Energy Limited (ASX: BPH) advised that investee Advent has on behalf of the PEP11 joint venture submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) a further application to suspend and extend the PEP11 permit offshore NSW. The application has been made under the COVID-19 - Work Bid Exploration Permits announcement released by the Federal Government on 20 April 2020.

In that release the Government recognised the that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a significant impact on the offshore petroleum sector and that additional flexibility would be required to assist titleholders to manage the COVID -19 crisis. The Joint Authority confirmed in that release that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a force majeure event. The application for a 24 month suspension of the Permit Year 4 work program commitments, with a corresponding 24 month extension of the permit term and was accepted for processing by NOPTA on 4 Feb 2021. BPH does not foresee this application interfering with the NOPTA application to extend the permit terms for PEP11.

The PEP 11 permit is in good standing as Advent’s subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (as the operator), continues preparations to drill the Baleen Gas Prospect including booking a semisubmersible drill rig for the program with the call for tender.

On 30 December 2020 Advent lodged an Offer Information Statement with ASIC for a non-renounceable entitlement issue of two (2) Shares for every three (3) shares held at an issue price of $0.05 (5 cents) per Share to raise up to $6,525,108. The Offer is partially underwritten by related party Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd (ABN 84 087 432 353) (AFSL 517246) and sub-underwritten up to $2,271,450. Grandbridge Securities Pty Ltd is also Lead Manager to the Offer.

10. Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method (continued)

In February 2021 BPH raised $9 million in a share placement. BPH advised ASX that approximately $5.75 million of the proceeds of the placement will be used by BPH primarily to invest in Advent to progress well planning, engineering and environmental approvals for drilling at the Baleen drill target in the PEP11 offshore permit in NSW.

The directors have confidence that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there is no certainty at this stage of further funding being made available. Asset Energy Pty Ltd has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title and, along with its JV partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any petroleum accumulations which may be identified in this title area. If Advent is unable to source further funding for each of PEP11 and RL1 each of these permits are at risk.

The above conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may affect the ability of Advent to realise the carrying value of the exploration assets in the ordinary course of business and may affect the ability of the Company to realise the carrying value of its loan receivables and its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business.

  • (ii) The carrying value of Molecular Discovery Systems Limited was fully impaired during the prior period. The Molecular Discovery Systems Limited 30 June 2021 financial statements are still in the process of being audited.

18. Subsequent Events

In August 2021 the Company reached a legal settlement with two former directors in respect of their outstanding director fees.

There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year other than outlined elsewhere in this financial report that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

19. Financial Risk Management

  • a) Financial Risk Management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group operations policies.

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate financial assets. The Group’s financial liabilities are currently not exposed to interest rate risk as the Group has no interest bearing financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its shareholdings in publicly listed entities. Material investments are managed on an individual basis.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Fair Values

The fair values of:

  • Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value.

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings to their present value.

  • For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Liquidity is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 BPH Energy Limited

19. Financial Risk Management (continued)

  • (c) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position (continued)

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of BPH Energy Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of BPH Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 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 30 June 2021 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter - Material uncertainty related to the carrying value of the loan receivable from, and investment in, Advent Energy Limited

We draw attention to Note 10 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists in relation to the Group’s ability to realise the carrying value of its loan receivable from, and investment in, Advent Energy Limited in the ordinary course of business. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our 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 30 June 2021, 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

53

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

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.

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.
