Review of Operations

The consolidated loss for the 12 months ended 30 June 2008 was $3,557,390 compared to a loss of $2,421,661 for the previous 12 months ended 30 June 2007. Some of the key features of the year ended 30 June 2008 include:

  • The appointment of Jack Kerins as chief executive of United States based Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc (SBL);

  • The rationalization of the Company’s cost structure by focusing on the Company’s operations in the United States. This involved the resignation of senior management in Australia and a reduction in operating costs of approximately $600,000 per annum.

  • The execution of a joint venture agreement with Shanghai SiYi Biotechnology Co. Limited, a China based company, for the assembly and sale of OraLine products for use by the Ministry of Public Security and future non-governmental Chinese customers.

  • The signing of an agreement with BioScreens, Inc to develop a quality, low cost urine testing cup.

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 18 001 285 230

  • The execution of an exclusive marketing and distribution agreement with MediNat for the supply of OraLine in Russia.

  • The completion of successful capital raisings in August 2007, December 2007 and January 2008 through which the Company raised a total of $3,434,623 (before issue costs of $356,343);

  • In March 2008, the Company entered into a deed of settlement in relation to the claim against Avitar Technologies, Inc. Although no cash consideration was involved under the settlement, the Directors believe that the outcome of this settlement was positive for the Company as, under the terms of the settlement, Avitar acknowledged the validity of the Company’s patents.

  • The restructure of the amount owing to Dr Ming and Alice Sun, the founders of SBL, in relation to the payment of US$980,000 as final consideration for the acquisition of SBL in August 2006. This is discussed further below in Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year.

  • On 27 June 2008 the Company advised that it had lodged a prospectus with ASIC to raise a minimum amount of $2,000,000 by way of a Renounceable Rights Issue of four New Ordinary Shares for every five Shares held at a price of $0.01 plus one free attaching Option for every two New Ordinary Shares subscribed for. The objectives of the capital raising are to fund the payments of amounts owing in respect to the SBL acquisition, the commercialization of the Chinese joint venture with Shanghai SiYi, the development of the BioScreens Cup and the cost of attaining FDA 510(k) clearance for point-of-care sale of the VisuaLine product, the development and marketing of OraLine VIII, developing the Company’s compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices and working capital to support the ongoing business activities of the Company. The Rights Issue was completed and shares allotted on 14 August 2008. In addition, the company has raised an additional $998,963 via the placement of Shortfall Securities bringing the total raising to $2,998,963.

Agreement with Ming and Alice Sun

In June 2008, the Company reached an agreement with Dr Ming and Alice Sun, the founders of SBL, in relation to payment of US$980,000 as final consideration for the acquisition of SBL. The Suns agreed to:

  • convert US$490,000 into Shares at $0.01 per Share, the same issue price as under the Rights Issue ;

  • be issued with Options on the basis of one Option for every two Shares issued to the Suns under paragraph (a) above, the same ratio as offered under the Rights Issue; and

as settlement for the payment of US$980,000.

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 18 001 285 230

The conversion under paragraph (a) and the issue of options under paragraph (b) occurred on 25 August 2008. The payment of USD $490,000 was made on 5 September 2008.

Financial Position

The net assets of the economic entity have decreased by $406,613 from 30 June 2007 to $1,008,159 as at 30 June 2008. This decrease has largely resulted from the following factors:

  • decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents of $328,111;

  • increase in Receivables and Inventories of $196,916;

  • decrease in Intangible Assets – Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. Intellectual Property of $1,491,706;

  • increase in Amortisation of Intellectual Property of $542,292;

  • decrease in Trade and Other Payables of $124,291; and

  • decrease in Promissory Note due to vendor of Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. of $613,708 (repayment of $466,813 and foreign exchange gain of $146,895).

  • payment of $466,813 under the terms of the Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. acquisition.

The operating loss for the year includes a write down of $1,000,000 in the carrying value of the patents covering the VisuaLine and OraLine products following a value in use valuation.

The directors believe the group is in a stable financial position following the Rights Issue and will continue to focus on the commercialisation opportunities within the Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. product range and intellectual property.

The Economic Entity’s working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities, has declined from ($767,551) in 2007 to ($841,239) as at 30 June 2008 which is prior to the receipt of proceeds from the rights issue.

Significant Transactions

Significant transactions that occurred during the year included:-

  • the successful completion of a fully underwritten Rights Issue to raise $2,391,550 before costs

  • the successful completion of a share placement in December 2007 raising $913,105 before costs

  • the successful completion of a share placement plan in January 2008 raising $129,967 before costs

  • the announcement of an underwritten Rights Issue to raise a minimum of $2,000,000 before costs (completed post balance date)

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

Apart from the matters mentioned above and elsewhere in this report there were no significant changes in the state of affairs during the year.

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

The Rights Issue discussed above was completed and securities were allotted on 14 August 2008. The total amount raised was $2.0m. In addition, the company has raised an additional $998,963 via the placement of Shortfall Securities bringing the total raising to $2,998,963.

On 21 August 2008, Dr Sun, the founder of SBL was issued with 56,186,217 shares and 28,093,109 options in part settlement of USD 490,000 of the final outstanding payment of USD 980,000 due to him by the Company for the acquisition of SBL. The remaining USD 490,000 was paid to him on 5 September 2008 from the proceeds of the Rights Issue.

Except for the matters discussed above no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the economic entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the economic entity, in subsequent financial years.

Remuneration Report (audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Sun Biomedical Limited and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

The remuneration policy adopted by the Company has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives, such as options, which are exercisable at levels in excess of the Company’s share price when granted.

The Directors believe the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

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

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, is developed and approved by the Directors after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants where deemed appropriate. The Directors will review executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The Directors seek ratification of Executive remuneration packages by shareholders at general meeting. In the current year the remuneration is not linked to performance due to the stage in the life cycle of the company.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board on 25 September 2008.

The financial report covers the economic entity of Sun Biomedical Limited and controlled entities, and Sun Biomedical Limited as an individual parent entity. Sun Biomedical Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Sun Biomedical Limited and controlled entities, and Sun Biomedical Limited as an individual parent entity comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety. Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of Sun Biomedical Limited and controlled entities, and Sun Biomedical Limited as an individual parent entity complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)..

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs.

Significant Estimates and Critical Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The following significant judgments and critical estimates have been made in preparation of this financial report. If these judgments or estimates were to significantly change this could have a material effect on the financial statements.

1. Parent Entity – impairment of intercompany receivable

During the year the recoverability from Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc was considered to be impaired based on the recoverable amount assessed. Further information on the impairment can be found in Note 14.

2. Impairment of intangible assets

  • During the year intangible assets were tested for impairment. The recoverable amount of the intellectual property was estimated (further information on these significant estimates can be found in Note 14(a)) and was found to be less than the carrying value. An impairment loss of $1,000,000 has been recognized.

3. Non-recognition of deferred tax assets

A deferred tax asset has not been recognised due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of tax losses.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Sun Biomedical Limited. Control exists where Sun Biomedical Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating activities of another entity so that the other entity operates with Sun Biomedical Limited to achieve the objectives of Sun Biomedical Limited.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less any impairment losses in the individual financial statements of Sun Biomedical Limited.

(b) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads where applicable. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, where applicable.

  • (i) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability. Lease payments received reduce the liability.

(ii) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.

  • (iii) The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Plant and equipment 5 - 22.5%
Leased plant and equipment 25 - 33 %

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(d) Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value (which represents cost) on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Other Financial Assets

Other financial assets, including investments in controlled entities, are recognised at cost, less where applicable any impairment losses.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

Fair value estimations

The fair value of Financial assets and Financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and disclosure purposes. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustment of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair values of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rates that is available for similar financial instruments.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. If recoverable amounts is assessed as lower than carrying amount, impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off. An allowance for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorgansiation, and defaults or delinquent payments (more than 90 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment losses is recognized in the income statement.

(e) Intangibles

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is recognised at cost of acquisition and is amortised over the period in which its benefits are expected to be realised. The intellectual property is amortised over seven years. The balances are reviewed annually for impairment and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are recognized in the income statement as impairment losses.

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 18 001 285 230

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(f) Research and Development

Under AASB 138: Intangible Assets, costs associated with the research phase of the development of an asset must be expensed. Where no intangible asset can be recognised, research and development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

(g) Income Tax

The economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit from ordinary activities adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.

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

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

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

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

(h) Cash & Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash includes:

  • cash on hand and on call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of overdrafts; and

  • • investments in money market instruments with less than 3 months to maturity.

(i) Comparative Figures

Where necessary comparative figures are adjusted to conform with the changes in presentation of the current period.

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 18 001 285 230

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(j) Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries and annual leave, which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have not been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows as the amounts involved are not material. Contributions are made by the company to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

(k) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to the customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

(l) 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.

(m) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities 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 parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions 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. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary 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 income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange difference arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

Group companies

The functional currency of the foreign operation, Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc is United States dollars (US$).

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

  • Retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

Investments in associated companies are recognised in the parent financial statements at cost and in the consolidated financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. Associates are all entitties over which significant influence is exercised over an investee. Significant influence exists where the investor has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investees but does not have control or joint control over those policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. The groups investment is associates includes goodwill (net of any impairment) identified on acquisition. The groups share of it’s associate’s post acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement and adjusted to the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised gains or losses between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the groups interest in the associate.

(o) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to officers (including directors) and some payments to consultants of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby officers and consultants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with officers and consultants is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by applying a Black Scholes pricing model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, but is linked to the price of the shares of Sun Biomedical Limited (‘market conditions’).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant officers and consultants become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(p) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group 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 assets 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.

(q) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(r) Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent entity, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) , divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

  • divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(s) New accounting standards and interpretations

The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the Accounting Standards Board but are not yet effective, are expected to effect the group in the initial period of adoption and have not been applied in preparation of this financial report:

AASB 8 Operating Segments (Issued February 2008)and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Arising from AASB 8

AASB 8 and AASB 2007-3 are effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a ‘management approach’ to reporting financial performance for segments. This information will be based on what the key decision makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The adoption of AASB 8 when it becomes mandatory is expected to significantly change the way the segment information is presented, but is not expected to have an impact on any reported amounts.

Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101

A revised AASB 101 was issued in September 2007 and is applicable for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. It requires changes to the way that the primary statements are presented but will not have any effect on reported amounts.

None of the other standards, amendments or interpretations issued which are not yet effective are expected to change any of the reported amounts of the Group.

(t) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the year, the consolidated entity incurred an operating loss after tax of $3,557,390 (2007: $2,421,661) and negative cash flows from operations of $2,401,561 (2007: 1,656,742). As at the reporting date, the current

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 18 001 285 230

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(t) Going Concern (continued)

liabilities of the consolidated entity of $1,314,240 (2007: $1,497,954) exceed current assets of $473,001 (2007: $730,403) by $841,239 (2007: $767,551).

Notwithstanding the financial results outlined above, the directors believe the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate given the following reasons:

  • The Board remains committed to a business plan that should result in the Company becoming profitable and cash flow positive.

  • The company has successfully undertaken a capital raising resulting in an increase of cash reserves of $2,998,963 (before issue costs). A portion of these funds were used to repay the Promissory Note that was disclosed as a current liability as at 30 June 2008. (refer note 19). The company is now interest bearing debt free.

  • Ongoing sales and marketing initiatives are being undertaken in a number of countries including Mexico, China and Russia, the results of which should have a positive impact on the company.

(u) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(a) Impairment tests for intangible assets – Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. Intellectual Property

The intellectual property capitalized through the acquisition of Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. relates to five patents for device and proprietary technology. The estimated serviceable life of the patents is seven years.

During the year there have been indicators of impairment which have required an impairment test to be carried out in relation to the recoverable amount of the patents.

Based on estimated future cashflows to be generated from the use of the patents, the recoverable amount was estimated at $1,781,824 and an impairment loss of $1,000,000 (2007: NIL) recognized. The estimated future cash inflows are based on signed distributor agreements in the US, Australia and Russia. The agreements specify minimum quantities and selling price. Cash inflows also include estimated future sales from China, Mexico and Europe. For some of these countries there are not signed distributor agreements but management believe the estimated sales will be obtained.

Estimated related costs for generating these cash inflows have been deducted, and the net cash flows have been discounted at 20% to estimate the recoverable amount of $1,781,824.

Key assumptions:
Intellectual Property 6 7 20% 20%

(b) Impairment tests for intangible assets - Shockrounds

Shockrounds, being an intangible asset with an indefinite life has been tested for impairment annually by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. The fully impaired amount was recognised in the financial year ended 30 June 2007. There are no indications that impairment losses previously recognized should be reversed.

Recoverable amount is the higher of the intangible asset’s ‘fair value less costs to sell’ and its ‘value in use’ (being the present value of discounted cash flows).

The Directors have considered the following factors and concluded the Shockrounds Intangible Asset has been impaired.

  • There has been a decline in market value by virtue of adverse publicity and the increasing number of lawsuits relating to Taser’s ‘stun gun’ technology which in turn led to a considerable dampening of investor confidence in the “less than lethal” weapons sector.

  • There has been a reduction in market capitalisation of the Company.

  • There has been indications that future economic performance of the asset and therefore prospective sales have deteriorated.

Furthermore, given the: -

  • current uncertainty that exists in the “less than lethal” industry sector;

  • the stage of the ShockRounds development and product optimisation;

  • the reliance on the expertise of its outsourced relationships and consultants for the ongoing development; and

  • the level of uncertainty relating to commercialisation of the technology in the immediate term; the Directors concluded that the carrying value of the ShockRounds technology is, at this point in time, indeterminable and, as such, cannot be carried forward at its previous levels with any level of certainty.

The Directors considered and concluded the Shockrounds Intangible Asset remains impaired.

(c) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

Key assumptions used in determining the value of the intellectual property value includes the pre tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of the Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. business model. The model includes current known factors and does not include potential business upside through globalisation.

Note 20: Statement of Operations by Segments (continued)

Accounting Policies

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment liabilities consist principally of accounts payable, employee entitlements, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings. Segment assets and liabilities do not include deferred income taxes.

Business Segment

Shockrounds development relates to the investment made by the Company in the securing and issuance of the patent for the piezo electric technology.

Drug screening relates to the Sun Biomedical business and the development and sale of screening products for drugs of abuse.

Geographic Segment

Although the consolidated entity’s divisions are managed on a global basis they operate in two main geographical areas:

Australia – the home country of the parent entity and the principal location of management and the financing of the operations.

United States – comprises operations for the manufacture and development of the company’s products.

Note 21: Financial instruments

(a) General objectives, policies and processes

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the Group where such impacts may be material. The board receives monthly financial reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when the debtors or counterparties to derivative contracts fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group.

For the group there is no concentration of credit risk with respect to current and non current receivables as the Group has a large number of customers. Group Policy is that sales are only made to customers that are credit worthy. Credit risk for the parent entity is concentrated in the receivable from Sun Biomedical Australia Pty Ltd. However, this receivable has been impaired by $1,494,609(2007: $312,209)

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is as follows:

The fair value of the current trade and other payables approximates their carrying values. As the promissory note has been settled within 6 months after 30 June 2008 its fair value at that date is not significantly different to its carrying amount.

(d) Market rate risk

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) or foreign exchange rates (currency risk). The company and Group are not subject to other price risk on its financial instruments.

(e) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises on cash and cash equivalents, receivables from related parties and the issued promissory note. The group does not enter into any derivative instruments to mitigate this risk. As this is not consider a significant risk for The Group no policies are in place to formally mitigate this risk

Sensitivity to changes in interest rates:

If interest rates were to move 100 bps up or down in the next 12 months, the following effect on reported profits or losses from all interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities, is expected:

  • The profit effect on the economic entity of an interest rate increase of 1% is $1,182 (2007: $4,463) and the profit effect of an interest rate decrease is $(1,182) (2007:$(4,463)).

  • The profit effect on the parent entity of an interest rate increase of 1% is $12,948 (2007:$1,675) and the profit effect of an interest rate decrease is $(12,948) (2007:$(1,675)).

Note 21: Financial instruments (continued)

(f) Currency risk

In the parent, currency risk arises on the receivables from its US subsidiaries. The group is not subject to currency risk as all transactions in the different geographical segments are in their own functional currency. At 30 June 2008, the receivable from Sun Biomedical Laboratories Inc. has been fully impaired, therefore any movements in exchange rates would not effect reported profits of losses.

  • (g) Other Price risk

The Group is not exposed to other price risk from the market.

Note 22: Related Parties

No director has entered into contracts with the company since the end of the previous financial year.

Wholly-owned Group

The options outstanding at 30 June 2008 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.23 (2007: $0.17) and a weighted average remained contractual life of 1.3 years (2007: 2.1 years). Exercise prices range from $0.013 to $0.35 in respect of options outstanding at 30 June 2008.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was 5.9 cents per option.

This price was calculated by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs at grant date:

2008 2007
Weighted average exercise price $0.23 $0.17
Weighted average life of the option 1.3 years 2.1 years
Underlying share price $0.013 $0.155
Expected share price volatility 175% 78%
Risk free interest rate 6.64% 5.37%

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future tender, which may not eventuate.

The life of the options is based on the expiry date, which may not eventuate in the future.

Included under equity based payments expense in the income statement relating to share-based payment is $96,721 (2007: $248,926) and relates, in full, to equity-settled share-based payment transactions. This amount includes for 2008 $42,867 (2007: $158,000) in fully paid ordinary shares and $53,854 (2006: $90,926) in options expense.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Sun Biomedical Limited

Report on the Financial Report

==> picture [168 x 148] intentionally omitted <==

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Sun Biomedical Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year[. ]

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial report that 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. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

BDO Kendalls is a national association of separate partnerships and entities. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 would be in the same terms if it had been given to the directors at the time that this auditor’s report was made.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Sun Biomedical Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the company’s and consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2008 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1

Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the operations of Sun Biomedical Limited and Controlled Entities are subject to significant risk due to the product development activities of the group and the risks inherent in the commercialisation of these products. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainly which may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 6 to 10 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2008. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Sun Biomedical Limited for the year ended 30 June 2008, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
