Letter from CEO and Chairman
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to share Regeneus’ Annual Report for the 2021-22 financial year, a year of strategic importance for the Company’s growth and clinical development. Our focus on R&D delivery and business development opportunities during the year continued to deliver clinical milestones and progress our novel stem cell-based regenerative medicine therapies towards commercialisation.
We remain dedicated to bringing our lead stem cell technology platform, Progenza™, to market in Japan for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis through our partnership with Kyocera Corporation. Kyocera has had further consultations with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan regarding regulatory compliance. The next milestone payment under the Kyocera licence and collaboration agreement of US$3.0 million is expected in calendar 2023.
Also, we are searching for strategic partners to co-develop Progenza™ in the US, South Korea and China.
In other notable developments during the year, a pre-clinical study of Progenza™ at the Kolling Institute was successfully completed and delivered positive results, representing a significant development milestone for the Company.
We also progressed the development of Sygenus for pain management and dermatological conditions, with various preclinical studies under way.
Our measures to streamline our business and keep a disciplined focus on operating costs has reduced cash burn. The Company remains well capitalised to complete its clinical pipeline, with a cash balance of A$95,000 and an undrawn credit facility of A$3.0 million at 30 June 2022.
Further Progress on Progenza™
Our collaboration with Kyocera on Progenza™ in Japan continues to make great progress as we meet partnership milestones and focus on setting up manufacturing of Progenza™. Kyocera has a large, dedicated team to execute this project.
Regeneus achieved a major development milestone in completing a large animal study at the Kolling Institute at Royal North Shore Hospital in Australia. The study has delivered positive results to further support the efficacy of Progenza. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate proof-of-concept efficacy of Progenza™ in the destabilisation of the medial meniscus model in 384 mice. The study explored the disease-modifying effect of different therapeutic formulations and their effect in modulating the inflammatory and immune response in a mouse model of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
The study showed that the effect on structural pathology of the Progenza™ formulation was superior to that seen in mouse MSCs or hyaluronic acid. Progenza™ demonstrated pain reduction effects and structural pathology changes to support Progenza™ becoming the first disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug.
Furthermore, Regeneus completed an mRNA study demonstrating the efficacy of the bioactive secretome, one of the critical components in Progenza™. The results further demonstrate the benefit of secretions and will be used in discussions with various regulators and potential licensing partners globally.
Both studies fulfilled the Company’s additional data obligations to Kyocera.
Outside of Japan, the Company continues to search for a strategic partner to co-develop Progenza™ for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the US and is in discussions with 70 parties. Select companies are conducting detailed due diligence of the Progenza™ nonclinical, CMC, and clinical data. The process is led by Regeneus Board Advisor Dr Scott Bruder and his team at Bruder Consulting and Venture Group. Dr Bruder is a leading USbased physician-scientist, executive, and consultant in the regenerative medicine and orthopaedics industry.
In South Korea, more than 30 companies have been contacted in relation to partnerships for the commercialisation of Progenza™. Discussions are ongoing, and due diligence has commenced with multiple companies. Regeneus has engaged Korea Development Bank to run the process.
In China, the Company has engaged YAFO Capital to run a licensing process for Progenza™. Sixty companies have been contacted, with ongoing due diligence continuing with selected parties. YAFO Capital has previously successfully closed licensing deals for Biosplice’s lorecivivint osteoarthritis drug and Flexion’s Zilretta small molecule osteoarthritis drugs in China and has strong access to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies interested in osteoarthritis assets.
Sygenus Development
We continue to progress the development of our second stem cell technology platform, Sygenus, through the development partnership entered into with the Department of Defence for combat casualty care.
The development program is progressing well. A preclinical animal study conducted by Prof Mark Hutchinson at the University of Adelaide has been completed.
Further studies are ongoing with preclinical CROs (contract research organisations) to develop Sygenus for topical pain indications.

These include a preclinical study in the post operation pain (POP) model with MD Biosciences in Israel. Regeneus is entitled to receive A$93,000 in milestone payments from the Department of Defence under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement in respect of this study.
Milestones payments of $113k were earned in FY2022.
Organisational and financial highlights
In FY 2022, Regeneus reported A$113k in other income, arising from the partnership with Department of Defence. We maintained optimisation measures from last year to reduce the monthly cash burn rate to A$200,000-250,000. The Company is highly capital-efficient.
We expect milestone payments from Kyocera to support our operating cash needs without the requirement for an additional equity capital raise. Regeneus has secured a A$4.0 million credit facility, drawn to only A$1 million as at 30 June 2022. The undrawn commitment of A$3 million under this credit facility will support the Company’s operations until the next milestone payment is received from Kyocera.
In other developments over FY 2022, Dr Scott Bruder joined our Board as an Advisor. Dr Bruder is assisting the Company on Progenza™ development work in the US following our Pre-IND Consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration in November 2021, and the licensing process for Progenza™ in the US.
Outlook
We remain focused on bringing Progenza™ to market in Japan through our partnership with Kyocera, and securing partners in other major markets.
Japan represents a significant market opportunity given its accelerated approval pathway for Progenza™. The global market for injectable treatments for knee osteoarthritis is US$6.1 billion, with the Japanese market alone worth US$1.5 billion.
Regeneus is working with Kyocera on setting up manufacturing in Japan, launching a pivotal Phase II trial of Progenza™ for osteoarthritis, and moving towards application for regulatory approval of Progenza™ for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in Japan.
Also, the Company is currently running active processes to find strategic licensing partners in the US, South Korea, and China to complete late-stage trials and commercialise Progenza™ in respective markets. Management is actively involved in multiple discussions and due diligence processes.
Furthermore, Regeneus is engaged in various M&A discussions to leverage operational, manufacturing, and clinical development synergies with other biotechnology companies. These discussions are likely to lead to a strategic transaction in FY2023.
We look forward to more solid progress in the year ahead.
The Board would like to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support and the Regeneus team and our clinical and research partners for their work. We look forward to updating you on the progress of the Company.

Operating and financial review
Review of operations
-
The Company’s strategy focuses on bringing its lead stem cell technology platform Progenza™ to commercialisation, through its partnership with Kyocera Corporation (Kyocera) to treat knee OA in Japan. Regeneus progressed positively with this strategy in the first half of FY2022, with initial clinical development and manufacturing preparations continuing, in order to progress to Phase 2 and move toward application for regulatory approval.
-
In September 2021, a variation agreement to the licence and collaboration agreement was entered into and the Company and Kyocera continue collaborating on commencing manufacturing of Progenza in Japan and launching a pivotal Phase 2 trial. The variation agreement reduces Regeneus’s future financial commitment under the licence and collaboration agreement and provides more clarity on specific responsibilities of both the Company and Kyocera under the development program.
-
Further to the execution of the variation agreement, the Company anticipates receipt of the next milestone payment of US$3 million in CY2023 under the licence and collaboration agreement with Kyocera.
-
A new patent, focusing on product composition, was allowed in Japan protecting the Company’s Progenza™ product until September 2036.
-
As part of the Company’s US strategy and focus on prioritizing securing a strategic partner in the US, the Company announced the appointment of Scott Bruder MD, PhD as a Board Advisor. Dr Bruder is a leading US based physician-scientist executive in the regenerative medicine and orthopedics industry.
-
The Company also entered into a strategic partnering agreement with Bruder Consulting & Venture Group during the period.
-
In December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors, together with New Life Sciences mutually agreed to terminate the Institutional Placement Agreement. As such, no further investments are to be made by, or shares issued to, New Life Sciences. Under the termination arrangements, Regeneus repaid AU$1.26M to New Life Sciences in respect of the balance of the prepayment amount received by Regeneus on 12 May 2021, after netting the 1.9 million shares issued to New Life Sciences on 7 May 2021 against Regeneus’s obligations, at a deemed issue price of $0.067 cents per share.
-
The AU$1.26M was repaid to New Life Sciences by the Company on 4 January 2022.
-
• On 25 February 2022, the Group signed a loan facility agreement with Paddington St Finance Pty Ltd. The maximum loan value of the facility is the lesser of (i) AUD$4 million; and (ii) USD$3 million. The loan forward funds the receipt of the next milestone payment of US$3million receivable under the licence and collaboration agreement with Kyocera, expected to be received by Regeneus in CY2023. First drawdown under this facility of $1,000,000 was made on 25 February 2022.
-
The Company’s second stem cell technology platform, Sygenus, is also a priority, and Regeneus continues to progress the development partnership entered into with the Australian Department of Defence for combat casualty care with research conducted by the University of Adelaide, with the first in human study anticipated in CY 2023.
-
Regeneus will continue to explore co-development and licensing options for Sygenus to treat burns and wounds, neuropathic pain, inflammatory skin conditions, and rare/orphan skin diseases globally.
-
Research collaboration with Raymond Purves Bone and Joint Research Laboratories at the Kolling Institute of Medical Research, Australia concluded. This study results will be used in regulatory filings for Phase 2 clinical trials in Japan and other geographies.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Nature of operations
Regeneus Ltd is a Sydney based ASX listed clinical stage regenerative medicine company using stem cell technologies to develop a portfolio of novel cell-based therapies focused on neuropathic pain, including osteoarthritis and various skin conditions.
The Company has two platform technologies, Progenza and Sygenus.
Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary specialty that is focused on the repair or regeneration of cells, tissues and organs. The primary goal is to enhance the body’s natural ability to replace tissue damaged or destroyed by injury or disease.
Where commercial opportunities are identified, the Group seeks to license appropriate parties.
2. General information and statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Regeneus is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial statements cover Regeneus and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity (the Group). As at
30 June 2022, Regeneus is a Public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The address of its registered office and its principal place of business is 2 Paddington Street, Paddington, NSW 2021, Australia.
Statement of compliance
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Regeneus comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 August 2022.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets and financial instruments for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective and not adopted early by the Group
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, there were no new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards published but not yet effective, that are relevant to the Group, that have not been adopted by the Group.
3. Summary of accounting policies
Overall considerations
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarised below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by the Australian Accounting Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the following accounting policies.
a. Basis of consolidation
Controlled entities The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2022. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective.
Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
22
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
b. Segment reporting
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
The Group’s operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the CODM) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
Reports provided to the CODM reference the Group operating in one segment, being the development of innovative cell-based therapies to address significant unmet medical needs in human and veterinary health. Initial focus is osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disease as well as oncology and dermatology. The information reported to the CODM, on a monthly basis, is profit or loss before tax, assets and liabilities and cash flow.
c. Going concern basis of accounting
The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. In making their going concern assessment the Directors have considered the following:
For the full-year ended 30 June 2022, the Group generated a loss of AU$4.310 million (2021: profit of $2.759 million), net cash outflows from operating activities of AU$3.591 million (2021: inflow of $2.419 million) and a deficit of net current asset AU$0.689 million (2021: net current assets balance $5.430 million).
The Directors additionally assessed the Group’s licence and collaboration agreement with Kyocera (August 2020), whereby in the first half of the financial year 2023, the group will receive US$3 million. This agreement gives rise to Regeneus receiving up to US$19 million in upfront, development and regulatory milestones.
Additionally, the Group entered into a loan facility agreement with Paddington St Finance Pty Ltd on 25 February 2022. The maximum loan value of the facility is the lesser of (i) AUD$4 million; and (ii) USD$3 million. Repayment of this loan will be made at either upon receipt of the next milestone payment of US$3 million from the licence and collaboration agreement with Kyocera, expected to be received by Regeneus in 2023 or September 2023.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
e. Income tax
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income.
Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related
transaction is a business combination or
affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income, based on the Group’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
23
f. Plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
g. Depreciation
The depreciable amount of fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line over their useful lives to the Consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The depreciation rates generally used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of fixed asset | Depreciation rate (%) |
|---|---|
| Office equipment straight line |
25%-50% |
| Laboratory equipment straight line |
20%-30% |
| Office fit-out straight line |
Life of lease |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting period date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
h. Intangibles
Intangible assets include acquired software. Intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a reducing balance basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Amortisation commences from the date the asset is brought into use. Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software. Subsequent expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Costs associated with maintaining intangibles are expensed as incurred.
The amortisation rate used for acquired software is 25% straight line.
The Group has reviewed its policy not to capitalise development costs unless they meet the criteria as set in AASB 138. All development costs not meeting the recognition criteria of AASB 138 are expensed.
i. Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (i.e. intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use), the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs.
When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each asset or cashgenerating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the
effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each asset or cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and assetspecific risks factors.
Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
j. Leases
Leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Where practical exemptions for short term and low value leases are applied, expenses are recognised as incurred.
k. Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
24
consolidated entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
l. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is de-recognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and subsequent 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 upon initial recognition:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
-
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.
Classifications are determined by both:
-
The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
-
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets
-
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.
Subsequent measurement financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):
-
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and 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 and trade receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as government bonds.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
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 FVPL. This includes investments.
All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply
Impairment of Financial assets
AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope included loans and other debt-type 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.
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 (‘Stage 1’) and
-
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).
‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
25
‘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
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, 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 credit risk characteristics based on the days past due.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, and trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, transaction costs are expensed immediately through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liability debt instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, are carried
subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.
- n. Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term
Defined contribution plans
The Group pays fixed contributions into independent entities in relation to several state plans and insurance for individual employees. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay contributions in addition to its fixed
contributions, which are recognised as an expense in the period that relevant employee services are received.
o. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Legal disputes, make good obligations, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
26
is remote in which case no liability is recognized.
p. Share-based employee remuneration
The Group operates equity settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees.
This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of nonmarket vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).
All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to share option reserve. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to share capital.
q. Revenue
For licence revenue, and in order to determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
-
Identifying the contract with a customer,
-
Identifying the performance obligations,
-
Determining the transaction price,
-
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations,
-
Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The Group will enter into licence transactions and receive upfront and milestone payments as part of research and development collaborations or outlicensing agreements.
The total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices using the residual method and cost method.
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations or where revenue is constrained and reports these amounts as contract liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial
position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.
Licence revenue is determined with reference to performance obligations to provide either patents or IP. Licence revenues are considered a right to use and recognised at a point in time, net of any revenue constraints of variable consideration. Various milestones within the agreement are considered constrained and are therefore not included in the total transaction price until the uncertainty is resolved.
Revenue relating to the provision of services is recognised when the services are provided to the extent that progress towards complete satisfaction can be reasonably measured. Progress is measured by reference to a time based output method using the total expected time to complete the services. Progress of performance obligations, type of goods or services and significant payment terms are to be disclosed.
The assessment of the criteria for income recognition and the determination of the appropriate period during which income is recognised are subject to judgement where variable consideration that is constrained and revenue is recognised only when it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.
r. 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 Taxation 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.
s. Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. The research and development incentive is calculated and accrued at year end and is recognised in accordance with ‘AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants’. The amount is credited to other income and the receivable is included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a current R&D incentive receivable.
The R&D Incentive becomes receivable once the tax return is lodged which generally occurs during the first quarter after year end.
t. Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date it is incurred.
u. Significant management judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
27
Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data.
When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Estimation uncertainty
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expense is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.
Share options and performance rights Share options were valued using the binominal pricing model and BlackScholes pricing model. Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. For purposes of the valuation the assumed life of the options was based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future. No special features inherent to the options granted were incorporated into measurement of fair value. Where approval is required at the AGM and the service period has commenced the expense is measured from the service period start date and is re-measured at grant date (being AGM). Any true up/adjustment is reflected in future periods.
Research and development claim
In calculating the R&D incentive, the Group has treated certain research and development activities as eligible expenditure under the Australian Government tax incentive. Management has assessed these activities and expenditures undertaken in Australia and overseas to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. At each period end, management estimates the refundable R&D incentive available to the Group based on current information. This estimate is also reviewed by external tax advisors. For the years ended 30 June 2022 and 2021, the Group has recognised income of $0.525 million and $0.851 million respectively. Refer note 6.
Uncertainties in the estimate relate to expenditure that can be claimed under the scheme including in some cases the claimable percentages applied to certain expenditure.
Licence and service revenue
This arrangement includes development and regulatory milestone payments. At contract inception and at each reporting period, the Group evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the Company’s control or the customer’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the
Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaboration revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.
Government Grant (Department of Defence)
The NGTF Research contract includes development milestone payments. Income is not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant will be received.
Milestone payment becomes receivable when the criteria for achievement is met and accepted by the Department of Defence.
Loans to Shareholders
The Group holds loans to shareholders totalling $98,962 (FY21: $870,227) that were provided at the time of the 2013 IPO. The balance of the loans totalling $771,265 have been repaid or written off during the year. As outlined in ‘impairment of financial assets’ above, the Group has made an adjustment for expected credit losses. The Group assesses expected credit losses with reference to the history of losses and considering the value of shares held by the shareholders to determine future expected credit losses. The provision for expected credit losses has been raised against the loans to shareholders, reflecting the reduction in the share price.
Fair value measurements and valuation process
Some of the Group’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are disclosed in note 33.

5. Segment reporting
The Group’s operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
Following an assessment of the information provided to the CODM, it has been concluded that the Group operates in only one segment, being the development of innovative cellbased therapies to address significant unmet medical needs in human and veterinary health.
Revenue for Licence fee income arose from the Licence and Collaboration Agreement with Kyocera Corporation to exclusively develop and commercialise Progenza™ in Japan, being the Group’s largest customer who brought in $7million revenue in FY2021.
The segment result is as shown in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Refer to statement of financial position for assets and liabilities.

Regeneus entered a development partnership with the Department of Defence to develop our second stem cell technology platform, Sygenus for combat casualty care in April 2021.
Regeneus received $20,000 for achieving the first milestone in July 2021. And the Company is entitled to receive a further $93,000 in milestone payments from the Department of Defence under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement in respect of this study.
Regeneus entered a Licence and Collaboration Agreement in August 2020 with Kyocera Corporation. The transaction price allocated to the partially unsatisfied performance obligation for the provision of Technical Guidance as at 30 June 2021 is US$4 million (equivalent to AU$5.6 million).
In addition, a contract liability of $1.44 million was recognized in FY2021 and relates to the second payment as part of the February 2020 Kyocera Memorandum of Understanding payment for definitive agreement. This amount, while receivable prior to finalisation of a definitive agreement was refundable if such an agreement could not be reached.
Regeneus was entitled to invoice the second payment in May 2020 although at the time of issuing both parties agreed that, as it was refundable if an agreement could not be reached, it was more practical to simply delay payment until agreement was reached. Regeneus deferred the recognition of the revenue in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including an offset of $1.44 million in contract liability.
Accordingly, in FY2021, a total of $7.04 million was recognised as revenue.

14. Other Financial Assets
In July 2016, the Company assigned a non-core patent application relating to the use of cytokines as biomarkers in red blood cells for an interest in a new venture, Sangui Bio Pty Ltd. Since this date Sangui Bio Pty Ltd has continued to undertake further research to develop the IP and other facets of the business. The interest in Sangui Bio Pty Ltd is included as a non-current financial asset (investment) and is measured at fair value through profit or Loss.
In July 2021, Sangui Bio Pty Ltd raised capital at $2.50 per share. Fair Value of the investment was based on this arm’s-length capital raise.
In 2022 no further capital has been raised by Sangui Bio Pty Ltd and, as a result, management is unable to determine a fair value of the investment at 30 June 2022. Until such time as the Company is able to accurately determine the investment’s fair value the investment is recorded at the last known fair value.
The Group entered into a Subscription Agreement with institutional investor, New Life Sciences, LLC, in May 2021 to secure up to $4.5 million in a three-stage placement of the Group’s ordinary shares, as described in Note 20. An initial placement of $1.5 million was received at that time. Since receipt of this prepayment, A$200,000 has been converted into Regeneus shares (“Shares”), with 2,898,551 Shares at 6.9 cents per Share being issued to
New Life Sciences on 14 October 2021. The agreement was terminated under a mutual agreement and $1.26 million was repaid by the Company to New Life Sciences on 4 January 2022. As at 30 June 2021, there was a receivable which relates to the second tranche of institutional placement of $1.5mil which has been cancelled as a result of the termination.
The shareholder loans are interest-free loans initially for 4 years maturing September 2017. The Directors extended the maturity of the loans to the 15 June 2019 and the loans are technically in default. While the loan is full recourse, in accordance with AASB 9 the ECL (expected credit loss) model credit risk has increased as the amounts are in default and the share price has reduced. Accordingly, an expected credit loss allowance has been made.
In May 2022, a letter was sent to each shareholder to whom the Company had provided a loan, advising them the full amount of the loan was due and payable on 30 June 2022. Participants were given the option to either repay the loan in full or transfer their RGS shares the subject of the loans to Regeneus, who would then sell the shares on market, and apply the proceeds of such sale in repayment of the loans owing. On completion of this sales process undertaken by the Company, a total of 7.563 million RGS shares were sold, with total net proceeds of $369,000 being received by the Company and applied in repayment of loans owing. The balance of the Shareholder loans owing after completion of this sales process has been written off by the Company, other than the loan extended to Graham Vesey, Executive Director of Regeneus.

30. Contingent liabilities
Prior to the commencement of the current financial year the Group received a claim for reimbursement of additional expenditure from a group that undertook an animal trial for the Group in 2015 through to 2018. Management believe it is an ambit claim with little merit
and will pursue avenues to minimise this claim and may potentially seek reimbursement of the costs of the failed trial paid to date. It is anticipated the net claim including costs would not exceed $50,000. (FY21:$50,000).
Other than the claim noted above, the Group has no other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2022.
31. Capital expenditure commitments
There were no capital commitments as at the 30 June 2022 (FY21: nil).
32. Financial instruments
a. Capital risk management
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, shareholder and director loans, accounts payable, borrowings and investments.

c. Financial risk management objective
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main types of risks are price risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
40
The Group’s risk management is coordinated in close co-operation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets.
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
d. Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk of an adverse impact on the Group’s financial performance as a result of exchange rate volatility.
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising primarily from transactions with foreign suppliers and revenue from licence arrangements. Material exposure to currency risk arises from foreign currency transactions and is limited to trade. The total AUD balance of trade payables denominated in a foreign currency (USD) at 30 June 2022 is $15,675 (FY21: $241,035).
Management have assessed the risk of movement in interest rates, and foreign exchange and believe the nature of the net risk is minimal and do not believe the impact would be material to the accounts.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit in regards to the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD / AUD and JPY / AUD exchange rate ‘all other things equal’. It assumes a +/- 10% change of the AUD / USD and the AUD / JPY exchange rate for the year ended at 30 June 2022 (FY21: 10%). This percentage has been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous twelve (12) months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date.
Movements in the AUD / USD and the AUD / JPY would have the following impact:
| Profit / (loss) impact of exchange rate sensitivity | 2022 $ |
2021 $ |
|---|---|---|
| If AUD had strengthened against USD & JPY by 10% (2021: 10%) | (1,568) | (32,154) |
| If AUD had weakened against USD & JPY by 10% (2021: 10%) | 1,568 | 32,154 |
Exposure to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposure to currency risk.
e. Liquidity risk analysis
Liquidity risk is risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-
day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in a rolling 365 day projection.
The Group’s objective is to maintain cash and deposits to meet its liquidity requirements for 180 day periods at a minimum. This objective relies on the Group’s Capital Management Policies and in conjunction with these was met for the reporting periods.
The Group considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk in particular its cash resources and trade receivables.
As at 30 June 2022 the Group’s derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities as summarised below:
| 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | 2021 |
2021 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | Current | Non- | Current | Current | Non- | |

f. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding receivables, committed transactions and shareholder loans.
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Other financial assets at amortised cost include loans to shareholders.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for loans to shareholders as these items do not have a significant financing component.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
41
In measuring the expected credit losses, loans to shareholders have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due and also according to the geographical location of customers.
The expected loss rates are based on the repayment profile over the past 48 months before 30 June 2022 as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forwarding looking factors affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding. The Group has identified liquidity in the Company’s shares to be the most relevant factor and adjusts loss rates for expected changes in these factors.
Loans to shareholders are written off (i.e. derecognised) when there is significant change in the share price of the Company and a likely change in the expectation of recovery. The Company share price at 30 June 2022, the failure to make payments at the loan due date and to engage with the Group on alternative payment arrangement amongst other is considered indicative of a reduced expectation of recovery.
On the above basis the expected credit loss for the shareholder loan as at 30 June 2022 was determined as follows:
| Stage 1 $ |
Stage 2 $ |
Stage 3 $ |
Total $ |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected credit loss rate | 0% | 33% | 100% |
- |
| Gross carrying amount | - | 98,962 | - | 98,962 |
| Lifetime expected credit loss | - | (29,689) | - | (29,689) |
g. Capital management policies and procedures
The Group’s capital management objectives are:
-
To ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern
-
To provide an adequate return to shareholders
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position and cash flow.
Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leakage. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
33. Fair value measurement
The Group’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are valued using a three-level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurements date
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value as are follows
| 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Total | |
