by the issue of equity instruments to be measured
at fair value (preferably using the fair value of the
equity instrument issued) with the difference
between the fair value of the instrument and the
carrying value of the liability extinguished being
recognised in profit or loss. The Interpretation does
not apply where the conversion terms were
included in the original contract (such as in the
case of a convertible debt) or to common control
transactions.

(a) Income Tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to apply to the year

10

BioTech Capital Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2010

when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

(b) Recoverable Amounts of Assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(c) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(d) Investments and other Financial Assets

(i) Available-for-sale

All investments are initially recognised at fair value, being the fair value of the consideration given and including transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the statement of comprehensive income. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments that are unquoted, fair value cannot be reliably measured, as a result are reflected at cost.

(ii) Held-to-maturity

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-tomaturity when the company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as term deposits, are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprises of cash at bank and in hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(f) Trade and other creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(g) Earnings / (Loss) per share

  • (i) Basic earnings / (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

11

BioTech Capital Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2010

(ii) Diluted earnings / (loss) per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(h) Goods and services tax (GST)

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 statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(i) Rounding of Amounts to Nearest Thousand Dollars

The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

(j) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

In applying the Company's accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgments, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Company. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

Classification of and valuation of investments

The Company has decided to classify investments in listed and unlisted securities as 'available -for-sale' investments and movements in fair value are recognised directly in equity. The fair value of listed shares has been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market. The fair values of unlisted securities not traded in an active market are measured at cost less impairment. This is because directors consider that the fair value cannot be reliably measured.

Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to their investments and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves impacts on estimated future cash flows which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. The Board reviews the latest financial results of unlisted companies, project updates from the investment manager and market data available to determine any impairment on unlisted investments. Impairment is made based on management best estimates of future estimated cash flows. An impairment loss on listed investments of nil (2009: $1,105,000) and an impairment loss on unlisted investments of $6,043,832 (2009: $2,720,000) has been recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

Available for sale financial assets consist of investments in ordinary shares or convertible notes into ordinary shares.

Listed shares

The fair value of listed available-for-sale investments has been determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market.

Unlisted shares

The fair value of unlisted available for sale investments cannot be reliably measured as they are not supported by observable market prices or rates. As a result, all unlisted investments are reflected at cost less impairment write down. Convertible Note – Listed entity

The convertible note in Phylogica Limited relates to the conversion of a maximum of 25,000,000 shares, the fair value has been determined by reference to the published price quoted for Phylogica Limited’s shares.

Impairment Loss on Unlisted Investments

An allowance for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that unlisted investments are impaired. During the year, the Board obtained the latest financial results of unlisted companies and reviewed project updates from the investment manager. Based on management’s best estimate of information available, the Board decided to record an impairment loss. An impairment loss on unlisted investments of $6,043,832 (2009: $2,720,000) has been recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

Biotech Capital Limited (BTC) is not equity accounting investments it has greater than a 20% interest in because the characteristics of the investments confirm it does not exert significant influence. The investments concerned are Continara, Pacific Knowledge Systems Pty Ltd, XRT Ltd, Sensear Pty Ltd and Phylogica Limited. The reasons significant influence is not exerted include that BTC has no significant participation in policy making processes, the investee entities have no economic dependency on BTC, other investors hold a similar percentage interest in the entities, the Board representation in the entities by BTC is only one in each case and there is no interchange of managerial personnel between the entities and BTC.

This reserve records the movement for available for sale financial assets to fair value. Unrealised gains and unrealised losses are arrived at by comparing the balance date value of each investment, as determined in accordance with the company’s declared valuation policy, with the investment’s cost price. The above unrealised gain on listed investments reflects market value at 30 June 2010. During the year, all unrealised impairment losses have been taken directly to the statement of comprehensive income. These calculations do not take into account incentive fees which might be payable to the Manager, or other persons, relating to gains realised on disposal of any investments. The balance of this reserve does not represent funds available for distribution to shareholders in specie, because of the unrealised nature of the net gain involved.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the company uses. The company’s financial assets which are affected by interest rate risk are the company’s cash and cash equivalents and term deposits held. The company manages its interest cost by using a mix of fixed and variable rates and trades only with recognised credit worthy third parties.

The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the company's financial assets. The company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of these assets.

Liquidity Risk

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

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

There is no difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the company’s financial instruments. The company has no unrecognised financial instruments at balance date.

Market Price Risk

Equity price risk arises from available-for-sale equity securities held as a part of the company's operations. Investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board of Directors. The primary goal of the Company’s investment strategy is to maximise investment returns on sale of investments. Listed investments are designated as available for sale financial assets because their performance is actively monitored and they are managed on a fair value basis. Unlisted investments are designated as available for sale financial assets, however their performance is not supported by observable data and therefore recorded at cost.

Sensitivity analysis on changes in market equity prices

A change of 20% (based on the Board’s assessment of share price movements during the period and similar movements in the life sciences industry) in equity prices at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009. In 2009 and 2010, if equity prices decreased, movement would be recorded in the income statements due to impairment indicators noted, while if equity prices increased, movement would be taken to the asset revaluation reserve directly in equity.

Capital risk management

The Company objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of the Company's capital is performed by the Board. The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2009.

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax and general administrative outgoings.

Note 21 Contingent Liability

Performance Fee

It has been assessed that if all investments were realised at their balance date book values, and after taking into account the company’s rebate entitlement, the performance fee payable to the Manager would be nil (2009: nil). The basis of the performance fee calculation has been described in Note 16. No liability has been recognised in respect to this.
