Directors’ Report

Your directors submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2011.

Directors

The directors of Cryosite Limited and its controlled entities (the “Company”) in office during the half year, and until the date of this Report are set out below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.


ss otherwise stated.
Andrew John Kroger Chairman Appointed 21November 2011
Gordon Leonard Milliken Managing Director Appointed 28 February 2002
Graeme Allen Moore Executive Director Appointed 22 September 2008
Theodore Onisforou Chairman Resigned 7 November 2011

Principal Activities

Cryosite was established in 2000, it has developed into a unique company that provides a number of integrated biologistics services. The services are categorised into two groups, Biological Services and Warehousing and Distribution. The biological services include the private cord blood service. Cryosite pioneered private cord blood collection in Australia and is recognised as the country’s premier cord blood bank. Biorepository management and adult stem cell storage are also part of the biological services. The Warehousing and Distribution service includes the Clinical Trial Logistics and the services associated with the American Type Culture Collection distribution agreement.

Review of Operations

Group revenue increased during the half-year by 17.1% over the corresponding period last year to $3,896,381 (2010: $3,327,942).The consolidated net profit attributable to members of the parent for the period was $348,602 (2010: $163,274) an increase of 113.5%.

The company has operated out of the new South Granville premises for over 12 months and we are now realising some of the anticipated benefits of the upgraded premises. This has been particularly important for the clinical trial logistics service where the combined effects of both larger capacity and improved systems has helped Cryosite attract a number of new clients.

Interest in the clinical trial service in particular remains very high and we anticipate that we will continue to attract a regular number of new client’s as well as retain a steady flow of new projects from our existing clients.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date – Dividend Payment

As the Group is now starting to reflect the benefits from the relocation to the new premises with increased profits and cash flow the Board is pleased to announce that on 23 February 2012 it declared a maiden interim unfranked dividend of 0.50 cents per ordinary share. There is no impact on the current financial report.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .Compliance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and considered together with any public announcements made by Cryosite Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2011 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

(b) Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period.

The Company has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 January 2011:

  • AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (amendment) effective 1 January 2011

  • AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation (amendment) effective 1 February 2010

  • AASB Int 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (amendment) effective 1 January 2011

  • Improvements to AASBs (May 2010)

The adoption of the standards or interpretations is described below:

AASB 124 Related Party Transactions (Amendment)

The AASB issued an amendment to AASB 124 that clarifies the definitions of a related party. The new definitions emphasise a symmetrical view of related party relationships and clarifies the circumstances in which persons and key management personnel affect related party relationships of an entity. In addition, the amendment introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions with government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The adoption of the amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

11

C RYOSITE L IM ITED – H ALF -Y EAR F INANCIAL R EPORT

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011

(b) Changes in Accounting Policies (continues)

AASB 132 Financial instruments: Presentation (Amendment)

The AASB issued an amendment that alters the definition of a financial liability in AASB 132 to enable entities to classify rights issues and certain options or warrants as equity instruments. The amendment is applicable if the rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity's non-derivative equity instruments, to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. The amendment has had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Company because the Company does not have these type of instruments.

AASB Int 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment) The amendment removes an unintended consequence when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover such requirements. The amendment permits a prepayment of future service cost by the entity to be recognised as a pension asset. The Company is not subject to minimum funding requirements, therefore the amendment of the interpretation has no effect on the financial position nor performance of the Company.

In May 2010, the AASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of those amendments had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

The Company has not elected to early adopt any of the new standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.

(c) Intangible Asset

The intangible asset which relates to the Cryobyte LS software has a carrying value of nil as at 31 December 2011. At 30 June 2010 the Board decided to fully amortise the costs associated with the software as the ongoing development has ceased.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS continued

Share based payments continued

Share Options continued

The terms and conditions of the Plan are as follows:

Options may be granted under the Plan to an employee or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or to a person who renders services to the Company, or to any of its subsidiaries and is eligible to be a participant in the Plan under the terms of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and by any instrument issued by ASIC and applicable to the Company (“eligible participant”).

The Cryosite Board will determine the number of share options granted to each eligible participant.

The total number of share options granted under the Plan will be limited to 5% of the total number of issued shares at the time the offer or grant of options is made.

Options will be issued for no consideration.

The Board will determine the Option Exercise Price after considering the volume weighted average of the prices at which shares were traded on ASX during the one month period before the date of the offer.

Options will expire at the end of eight years from the option grant date or if the participant ceases to be an employee or director of, or render services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason whatsoever.

The exercise price of each initial option issued under the Plan was the retail offer price included in the prospectus (40 cents) for the Initial Public Offering.

For the initial options granted to employees and the Executive Director under the Plan, 20% will become exercisable after the first anniversary of listing on ASX and an additional 20% will become exercisable each anniversary of listing thereafter. The Company was listed on the ASX on 9 May 2002.

There were no options issued at the reporting date that are not exercisable.

Other options

At the end of the half-year there were nil (30 June 2011: Nil) unissued ordinary shares in respect of which options were outstanding, issued for the provision of services.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Cryosite Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Cryosite Limited and its controlled entity, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011 and statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the halfyear end or from time to time during the half-year ended 31 December 2011.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes: establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Cryosite Limited and its controlled entity during the half-year ended 31 December 2011, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
