Explanation of results

The reported after tax loss of $3,010,929 is after fully expensing all of the Company’s research and development expenditure and patenting costs of $2,257,224 incurred during the year.

The Company has engaged a specialised R&D Tax consultant to review the research and development expenses of the Company for financial year 2018, to ensure the maximum rebate is received under the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive program. It is anticipated that the Company will receive substantial cash inflows following this review process.

The total operating revenue for the year was $1,842,909, which is an increase of 32% from financial year 2017. Gross Profit increased 35% to $1,424,216 compared to 2017.

At 30 June 2018 the Company’s cash position was $4,727,430 (30 June 2017: $3,994,924). The Company had trade and other receivables of $1,683,305 (30 June 2017: $1,768,237). This receivables amount includes future receivables from the Australian Government under the R&D Tax Incentive program mentioned above.

Immuron Limited Appendix 4E 30 June 2018 (continued)

During the current financial year, the Company entered into a short-term loan arrangement with Great Accommodation Pty Ltd to fund on going R&D expenditure, for an amount of AUD $500,000 at an interest rate of 15% per annum and a AUD $15,000 establishment fee. The loan was repaid by the Company on 12 February 2018.

As announced to the market on 14 March 2018, the Company secured AUD $5.1 million in funding through a private placement with a large U.S.institutional investment fund. This capital raise was required to secure the future funding needs of Immuron's other ongoing clinical programs, support marketing initiatives surrounding the Company's flagship product Travelan, which already experienced significant sales growth through the first half of the financial year 2018, and provide ongoing working capital for the Company.

Immuron Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2018

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

This Preliminary Financial Report covers the entity of Immuron Limited and its controlled entities. The preliminary general purpose financial report for the period ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The Group’s Preliminary Financial Report does not include all notes of the type normally included in an 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 entity as the full financial report.

(b) Accounting policies

All accounting policies adopted are consistent with the most recent Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
