Commentary on Results

The Group’s operating results for the year was a profit of AU$2.2M (FY20: Loss of AU$1.1M). The improved result and first-time profit for the Company reflects the transformative Licence and Collaboration Agreement that the Company entered with Kyocera in FY21 to develop Progenza™ OA in Japan.

Revenue of AU$7.1M in the year (FY20: AU$1.7M) results from the receipt of two payments from Kyocera under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding and the Licence and Collaboration Agreement.

The Company received an AU$5.6M milestone payment from Kyocera in October 2020 for the successful completion of the data pack delivery process, in addition to AU$1.4M received from Kyocera in August 2020 on completion of the execution of the Licence and Collaboration Agreement.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position net assets is equal to AU$2.41M (FY20: net deficit AU$0.1M).

The significant improvement over the 12 month period is predominantly reflective of the increase in cash to AU$3.8M (FY20: U$1M) and a reduction in current liabilities to AU$1.3M (FY20: AU$3.6M). This improvement results from receipt of milestone payments from Kyocera during the year, reduction in borrowing as a result of the repayment of the Director’s loan of AU$1.1M and receipt of the initial investment of AU$1.5M from New Life Sciences under the institutional placement agreement entered into in May 2021.

Corporate expenses of AU$3.95M were in line with prior year expenses (FY20 AU$3.44M), which include: corporate employees, Directors, IP, compliance, depreciation and business development costs.

Research and development expenditure for the year was AU$1.3M (FY20 AU$1.2M). R&D activities include staff and other costs associated with product research, GMP manufacture and the conduct of clinical trials for the Company’s products.

During the year the loan facilities available to the Company of AU$4M were cancelled.

On 7 May 2021, the Company entered into an institutional placement agreement with New Life Sciences. to raise up to AU$4.5M of funding. New Life Sciences made an initial investment of AU$1.5M on 12 May 2021 and the Company granted New Life Sciences the right to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company with an aggregate value of AU$1.59M. A second investment of AU$1.5M will be made on or before 12 November 2021 giving New Life Sciences the right to subscribe for further shares in the Company with an aggregate value of AU$1.59M. In addition, New Life Sciences may make a third investment of AU$1.5M on or before 12 May 2022, subject to the mutual consent of the parties, which gives New Life Sciences the right to subscribe for further Shares with an aggregate value of AU$1.5M.

At the commencement of the first placement, 1,353,982 and 1,900,000 shares were issued to New Life Sciences. The 1,353,982 shares were issued in payment of the commencement fee of $153,000 payable to New Life Sciences. The 1,900,000 shares issued were in relation to the initial placement shares. Finally, 3,800,000 options were issued immediately before the first placement as part of the commencement transactions and can be exercised any time over a period of 36 months.
