Chairman's Report

Dear fellow shareholders.

The year to 30 June 2005 has been both successful and challenging. Firstly, our contract manufacturing operation continued to expand, this year by a little over 30%. The growth in this activity is very encouraging, and the spread of clients

expands. Aussie Bodies, now part of the Healtheries group of companies, continues to be our major client, and we have enjoyed the benefits of their on-going snecess.

The contribution that this activity makes to Anadis' research programmes is very important, and enables the company to continue its research work without the continual need to raise capital.

You will also note that other income, comprising interest and grants also increased over the previous year. This was helped by the investment from the capital raised in the placement during 2004.

In the research area, we have been pleased with our achievement in the Enterovirus 71 project, particularly the success in obtaining the preventative protein bioactives from dairy cows. This means that we are well placed to embark upon large scale commercial production of the preventative.

We were also very pleased to have won, with Tatura Milk Industries, a \$1 million Food Innovation Grant ("FIG"), aimed at developing a specialty milk powder for human infants. This product is focused on the Asian markets, where enhancing immunity in infants is an important consideration.

Our biodefence/respiratory initiative continues to develop well. The support of the Australian government has been instrumental in boosting this project. This support has been through direct funding and also through the co-operation of scientists with the Department of Defence. The project funding has also enabled us to establish liaisons with key defence scientists in the USA The initial research program has now been further extended to include antibody based diagnostic products.

The challenge this year has been the marketing of our first product, Travelan - requiring additional expertise than in a usual research company. The company has been expanding its marketing and commercial capabilities. We are running a significant marketing campaign and have entered distribution agreements whereby the distributor gains from the successful sale of the product. And finally, we are exploring overseas markets.

I would like to thank Conor Graham, our CEO and managing director for his efforts during the year. Conor is supported by an excellent team of committed people. Also, my thank you to my fellow directors for their continuing support and advice.

P Molyneux Chairman

CEO's Report

Dear Shareholders,

The 2004/05 financial year was a year of increasing activity across the range of company activities with further growth in our toll manufacturing arm, the national launch of Travelan into the Australian market and further advancements made across our research and development portfolio-

The launch of Travelan has been of major significance during the year and has required a great deal of work to be done to prepare this product for marketing. We have had to scale-up our hyperimmune vaccine manufacture from laboratory bench scale to production scale and select and hyperimmunise some 3,600 dairy cows across a number of dairy farms. After calving, the colostrum then had to be collected and on-processed from a liquid to a powder suitable for tableting, then packaged into a final product ready for sale. We happily report that all these systems have operated beyond our expectations on a first time basis, giving us a great deal of confidence about the future expansion of our production capacity and abilities.

We however still have a great deal to further accomplish moving forwards. Regarding Travelan we are now making a concerted effort to establish markets

for this overseas and are actively pursuing both product registration and marketing/sales linkages in a number of overseas countries. Likewise with our EV-71 project we are currently seeking registration of our hyperimmune vaccine, vaccine manufacture scaleup, colostrum production and fast tracking to market. Our research into Bio-Warfare protective technologies in conjunction with the Australian Department of Defence and the support of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Centre of Excellence (MARCE) in Biodefence and Emerging Infectious Diseases is making solid progress. The project now has the added potential of being applied to detection/diagnostic kits as well as respiratory protection. In addition to these three projects, all our other research and development projects are likewise being advanced at the fastest possible rate.

The commitment and support of our shareholders is for us a matter of great importance and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your on-going loyalty as Anadis continues to Deliver on the Promise of Biotechnology.

Anadis Product & Research Portfolio

The financial year, 2004-05, will most likely be remembered at Anadis as the year in which Travelan was commercialised, distributed to pharmacies nationally, and began its passage to the international market place. Yet, although this is a very significant milestone for an Australian biotechnology company, it is only part of the Anadis success story over the past 12 months.

Anadis' ability to successfully develop research projects which result in the steady achievement of key milestones, continues to show the market our ability to develop products and technologies.

The success in our EV-71 project, for the development of a preventative against Enterovirus 71, is the key research highlight of this financial year. With two very significant achievements over the past 12 month with this project, we are now in the commercialisation phase of this potentially lifesaving product.

Success in research, leading to the creation of shareholder value, remains the key endeavour for Anadis Limited. Unlike most Australian biopharmaceutical companies, Anadis believes in the benefit of releasing "Early to Market" products, such as "over-the-counter" (OTC) nutraceuticals, in order to accelerate the commercial success of the company. This early commercial success will allow Anadis to create shareholder value sooner, help to cover our R&D expenditure, and allow expansion of the company.

Anadis success with government and industry grants highlights not only the outside support for such projects, but also the strong commercial focus of the R&D of the company.

Being committed to 'delivering on the promise of biotechnology' - Anadis is proud to present our product and research portfolio.

Travelan

Travelan®

Travelan, our lead research based product, is a world first over the counter (OTC) that significantly reduces the risk of getting Bali Belly, Delhi Belly, Montezuma's Revenge - medically known as Travellers Diarrhoea. Travelan is now available nationally, and on the verge to being available in a number of overseas markets - in particular the US. Travelan began sales in Victoria during late 2004 and

during early 2005. With the marketing and national distribution managed internally, we are able to ensure that future profits from sales will remain with the company. This internal effort is a key difference to Anadis' approach to commercialisation - for the benefit of shareholders in the long term.

moved nationally

Coinciding with the launch of Travelan, a new website has been set

The sale of the first box of Travelan, on the 4th October 2004, at our Campbellfield beadquarters.

up specifically for the product. Visit www.travelan.com.au. This website gives the opportunity for Travelan to be available for personal use, by international customers, though our on-line ordering facility in US dollars.

During March 2005, Anadis appointed Innovex Australia as the national sales force for Travelan. Innovex Australia, a business unit of Quintiles Transnational, has established nationwide distribution and sales capabilities, with its sales teams being well known to doctors and pharmacists around the country. Quintiles provides a broad range of professional services, information and partnering solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industries, and is the world's leading pharmaceutical services organization. Anadis sees this arrangement as a key endorsement of Travelan and one likely to accelerate its commercial success.

Travelan Internationally

Obviously, Australia is only a small percentage of the world travellers market, and hence a major focus for Anadis is to have Travelan available in key international destinations. It is not surprising that Travelan has generated so much interest from the international community, 'Travellers' Diarrhoea is a serious problem – and Travelan is a natural and effective product. Initially Travelan is set for the US market. This is a key market with an estimated 25 million travellers to Travellers' Diarrhoea "high risk" destinations each year. This does not include the larger number of travellers to "medium risk" destinations.

Travelan is currently in the process of registration in Singapore and the United Kingdom (EU). Further, Travelan is being considered by potential commercialisation partners for the markets of Japan, Thailand, India, the Middle East and Pakistan.

The National Advertising Campaign

Travelan is a new product and has no real substitute competition, because quite simply, before Travelan there was no easy, safe and natural OTC way for a traveller to reduce their risk of Travellers' Diarrhoea. It was only possible for travellers to do something after they had already been ill and inconvenienced.

The national advertising campaign has been focusing on radio and print media in order to inform the public about Travelan. In addition to this, billboards and signed advertising has been used in and around major national airport locations.

What is Travellers' Diarrhoea (TD)?

TD, otherwise known as Bali Belly, Montezuma's Revenge, Delhi Belly, Tourist Trot - amongst others; is the number one health problem in international travel in terms of frequency and economic impact. Infection with the enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC) bacteria is the most common cause. This can be through drinking water, or even eating food that has been washed in the local water, or through local poor sanitary practices. The E.coli, once inside the body, attach to the small intestine wall from where they release toxins which cause the intestinal reaction that is TD.

The symptoms of TD can include vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever and diarrhoea. Up until now it was only possible to treat the symptoms, and only in extremely severe cases, antibiotics can be used. In any case, having any symptoms, however mild, can be disconcerting and disruptive, or even ruin an important business trip, or a well deserved holiday.

TD affects numerous travellers worldwide - approximately to $40\%$ of the millions of international travellers. Over one third of these travellers become ill enough to require medical attention.

How does Travelan Work?

Travelan is packed full of antibodies (specific proteins that bind to the bacteria) against most of the major strains of ETEC. These antibodies attach themselves to the ETEC bacteria and prevent the E.coll from attaching to the body. See following diagram

The unprotected 'control' cells. The bundreds of little black dots are E. coli bacteria attaching to the cell walls. In the body, it is from this point that the E. colt will release toxins. It is these toxins which are the main cause of Travellers' Diarrhoea.

(ETEC strain H10407 adhering to differentiated Caco-2 cell line (colon carcinoma))

Healthy cells. At normal Travelan doses there are practically no E. coli attaching to the cell walls. This is because the antibodies within Travelan have attached to the E. coli, preventing them from attaching to the cells.

(Inbibition of adberence of H10407 to Caco-2 cell line in the presence of 500pg/ml hyperimmune colostrum)

(Photos from approx. 40x magnification, Phase-contrast, Giemsa stain)

The active ingredient in Travelan is Hyperimmune Bovine Colostrum Powder (BCP). Colostrum is the first milk given by the cow after calving. Because only the first milking is collected and processed for Travelan, Anadis Hyperimmune BCP has the highest available level of antibodies and other natural antimicrobials.

Our patented method of bovine colostrum collection and processing, through the use of the TACHS collection system, ensures an extremely high concentration and stability of antibody molecules, growth factors and other natural antimicrobials. Anadis BCP has three main functions:

$\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$

$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{eff}}$

$\mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}$ and $\mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}$ and the support of the con- $\sim 10^{-1}$ i. Passiye immunity transfer. The BCP used in Travelan is harvested from Australian dairy cows that have been immunised with a patented vaccine to produce very high levels of specific antibodies against select surface antigens from the 13 most common strains of Enterotoxigenic E.coli. These specific. antibodies bind to E.coli and inhibit their attachment to the gut wall. ii. Anadis Hyperimmune BCP naturally has high levels of lactoferrin and all actoperoxidase that have non-specific anti-microbial properties iii, Anadis Hyperimmune BCP also naturally contains factors that aid in the relief of symptoms of non life threatening gastrointestinal complaints.

Anadis is proud to have developed and commercialised a unique and useful product which can enhance the safety and enjoyment for the hundreds of millions of travellers around the world. We look forward to the commercial success of this product, both locally and internationally and associated rewards for our shareholders.

Enterovirus 71 (EV-71)

In the 2004 Annual Report, the EV-71 update focused on the intense development of this medically and commercially important project where the active ingredient is hyperimmune bovine colostrum. It is with considerable pride that Anadis was able to announce two extremely important milestones: (1) during August 2004 the development of a protective therapy against Enterovirus 71 - it had been proved that the methodology will provide effective candidate materials for controlling EV71; and (2) the obtaining of preventative bioactive proteins against Enterovirus 71 from

dairy cows, confirming that the outcomes previously achieved in laboratory models can now be transposed to a commercial scale

As a result of these two accomplishments, Anadis is now able to begin the commercialization phase of the EV-71 project. The EV-71 project is of

major commercial significance to Anadis. Anadis receives the exclusive global manufacturing rights of the bioactive materials, and the product, for a minimum of five years; royalties from all sales in Asia; and sole distribution rights for all markets outside Asia. We are currently working on the registration in Taiwan and the details of the joint marketing agreement for sales of the product in Asia – this would further enhance the potential return for Anadis and its shareholders.

The necessity to control Enterovirus $71$ – particularly in Taiwan (and southern Asia) – continues to be evident: Up to mid June this year $(2005)$ 60 severe Enterovirus infections were confirmed in Taiwan - all of these occurred in children under 5 years of age. Of these 60 severe cases, 5 have tragically resulted in the deaths of children, each one less than 4 years old. This is far higher than last year, which during the same period, only 14 severe cases were reported with no fatalities.

During the second half of 2004, Anadis announced the appointment of Dr David Anderson, an internationally recognised Virologist, to our Scientific Advisory Panel and Dr David DeLaney, our full time Senior Virologist, who joined our team located at Melbourne University (specifically focused on the commercialisation of the EV-71 Project).

The development of a natural and effective protective therapy against Enterovirus 71, being achieved at first attempt, in an extremely short time frame compared to typical drug development timelines in Australia, and around the world, is a testament to the effort and commitment of the Anadis Scientific Team.

We are now preparing for registration and commercial scale manufacture of the bovine vaccine, to be followed by production of the actual preventative. The preventative will act as a 'suit of armour' over an epidemic. By taking the Anadis EV-71 preparation children will be less likely to contract the disease or be harmed by it.

What is EV-71?

Enterovirus 71, a polio like disease, is one of the viruses that causes 'hand, foot and mouth' or 'slapped cheek' disease in young children. It's severity ranges from mild symptoms usually including a rash and quieter than normal behavior, while a significant proportion of younger childrencan develop nervous signs such as fits, paralysis and even death.

According to Taiwanese government figures, since 1998 there have been millions of cases reported with thousands of severe cases and hundreds of deaths. In 1998 alone, more than four and a half million illnesses were caused by the virus including 500 severe neurological cases and 78 deaths. Most of these were children under the age of four.

Enterovirus 71 isn't as yet well known in Australia, yet in the Asia-Pacific region - mainly Taiwan and China - major outbreaks are becoming increasingly common. Enterovirus 71 is an emerging 'disease state', and medical authorities

are comparing the disease with the spread of polio in Europe and North America in the late 19th century.

Market for the EV-71 Protective Therapy

The protective therapy is taken daily, during the high risk (summer) period. The Taiwanese Development Centre for Biotechnology (DCB) anticipates the market in Taiwan, alone, to be in excess of one hundred and ten million doses per annum. Following an initial launch in Taiwan, Anadis in conjunction with the DCB can then introduce this product into other parts of Asia and the rest of the world.

H.pylori Program - Treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcers (H. pylori)

H. pylori is associated with the development of most duodenal and gastric ulcers and. additionally, some forms of gastric cancer

The World Health Organisation has declared the bacterium H.pylori a Class 1 carcinogen, equivalent in seriousness to tobacco smoke.

During the 2003-04 financial year, Anadis announced the successful completion of a Phase II clinical trial in the Alfred Hospital Melbourne. This trial, under the supervision of Professor Frank Dudley, demonstrated that bioactive developed in the Anadis $H.pylori$ program, is of significant benefit to patients suffering from gastritis associated with the bacterium, H. pylori, and a good adjunct ulcer therapy.

Patients participating in this trial were suffering from non-ulcer dyspepsia with symptoms of nausea, abdominal discomfort/pain and bloating. Those that received the Anadis product showed significant relief in symptoms and a significant reduction in H. pylori infection.

One of the issues with H.pylori is due to the alarmingly high rate of carriers of the bacteria. Recent research suggests over 30% of people in the western world, and more than 50% in Asia, are carriers of H, pylori. Of these people, a minimum of 20% will develop ulcers or other gastrointestinal symptoms.

Why is the Anadis H.pylori program different from conventional treatments?

Conventional treatments exist, but they have their limitations. e.g. Inhibitor drugs are typically given for long periods and don't address the infection. While intensive antibiotic therapy is currently used, emerging antibiotic resistance is potentially compromising this treatment, and the associated side effects from antibiotic therapy can pose further health risks.

In contrast to conventional treatment, the Anadis treatment offers a highly promising complement to current treatments. Our first derivative of this treatment to begin commercialisation in the Asian market is Pyloran. The treatment is nonantibiotic and therefore has no risk

of antibiotic resistance. The product is natural and well tolerated, minimising adverse impact on a patient's wellbeing. Anadis is currently discussing with a suitable partner to bring Pyloran to market initially in Asia.

The H.pylori Research Project

Anadis' intellectual property and experience with H.pylori, passive immunity, vaccine manufacture, protein shielding technology, formulation and manufacturing have inspired funding from AusIndustry. Commonwealth 'START' grants totaling \$525,203 have been received to assist Anadis in the development of a series of treatments. Work on a candidate vaccine against H.pylori is also in progress.

Continuing product development involves scientists and technicians based at Melbourne University, the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, the Alfred Hospital, Vrije University in Rotterdam and Anadis' own facility.

Provisional patents have been lodged to protect the technological advances of the H.pylori project.

H.pylori vaccine Research Project

Anadis is currently involved in work to develop a candidate vaccine against H.pylori. As mentioned before in regards to Pyloran, H.pylori has been declared a Class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organisation, as serious as tobacco smoke. Initial findings are showing promising results, and research continues. More information will be published as soon as findings and results are available.

BioShield

The Anadis BioShield program has now expanded, to a set of "Bio Shield" technologies - each with its own method of bioactive protection. BioShield is a set of techniques for the protection of human friendly bacteria (probiotics), vaccines, enzymes, delicate proteins & antibiotics, as these delicate molecules pass through the hostile stomach environment.

Anadis BioShield technologies are key components in the H.pylori treatment, the Enterovirus 71 preventative and are utilized in the Bio-warfare Respiratory Protection program.

Anadis' technology for delivering pharmaceutical and other bioactive molecules to the stomach wall and the small intestine, is a spin-off from the H.pylori research. As the technology develops, it appears to offer delivery solutions to a wide range of proteins and drugs that are sensitive to digestive acids. These technologies could give new life to a variety of other manufacturers products that would otherwise be destroyed in the stomach.

Tests conducted by Anadis have demonstrated that 90 per cent of probiotics taken orally are destroyed in the harsh stomach environment within 10 minutes. In contrast, BioShielding techniques protects the probiotics to the degree that 90 per cent are still alive after one hour of exposure, thereby allowing greater numbers of probiotic bacteria into the intestine to promote positive gut health.

"Probiotics are human friendly bacteria that can be used to 'crowd out' pathogenic gut bacteria and promote the health of the digestive tract. Currently, they are mainly presented in natural yogurts and fermented drinks.'

Anadis received an Auslndustry grant for A\$250,000 under the Biotech Innovation Fund to help take BioShield to a commercial level focusing on probiotics. The research focuses on demonstrating the ability of bioshielding beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in a range of gut-benefiting foods.

Commercialisation

A hurdle for probiotic manufactures has been the short shelf life and the need for continuous refrigeration of the probiotics. This has lead to the desire for a stable "delivery system" with emphasis on temperature (non-refrigerated) and dry form delivery for use in a wider variety of applications. Anadis has a BioShield probiotic viable Corn Flakes, kept at room temperature, for well over 5 months. The application of this technology is through tasteless and odorless spray, this opens the door for a vast number of "Functional Food" opportunities from probiotic breakfast cereal to probiotic hamburger buns for fast food outlets.

Serious interest in BioShield has been expressed by a number of companies and negotiations are underway for a variety of potential applications for these technologies. BioShield also has the potential for use with some vaccines &

prescription drugs to improve efficacy, lower dosage requirements and allow for oral delivery.

Provisional patents have been lodged to protect the technological advances of the Bioshield 10 project.

Anadis has recently been approached by a major American vaccine development institute to help them with delivery of new oral vaccines that have already been developed with support from the Gates Foundation and the World Health Organisation, for use in children in tropical regions. The institute proposes to fully fund pre-clinical and clinical trials of a co-formulation of their vaccines and Anadis Bioshielding technologies. Negotiations are continuing, to make this Anadis technology integral to delivery of cutting edge vaccines against enteric agents.

Bio-Warfare Respiratory Protection -Combating Bioterrorism

The Anadis project: "Neutralisation of Respiratory Toxins and Pathogens" for temporary protection against respiratory pathogens, continues to make significant progress. Work in this area is funded from a major research grant from the Commonwealth Government for \$786,500, won in February 2004.

Early work on this technology is already the subject of collaboration between Anadis and the Australian Department of Defence to develop short-term respiratory protection for military personnel and civilian emergency workers, against a range of airborne biological warfare agents - initially Anthrax and Plague.

This project focuses on the protective actions of antibodies and their ability to bind and coat bacteria within the respiratory tract, reducing the capacity of airborne pathogens to affect humans.

Prestigious International Support

The extra funding, from the above mentioned grant, enables Anadis to interact with international researchers and manufacturers. In particular, support and input has been offered from MARCE (the Mid-Atlantic Regional Centre of Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases) headquartered in Baltimore, USA. MARCE is a multi-campus organisation that was recently funded by the US government for US\$42 million and has input from 16 prestigious Government, commercial and academic institution from around Washington DC.

The Director of MARCE, Professor Mike Levine has commented on the importance of this US-Australian collaboration, in strengthening the biodefense efforts for both countries. This assistance from MARCE will provide Anadis with expertise in key areas such as: scientific input from some of the world's top medical researchers, access to secure test facilities and field readiness evaluation reports.

Professor Mike Levine, Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics, in addition to being Director of MARCE, is the Director, Center for Vaccine Development, University of Maryland School of Medicine and, amongst others, sits on the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases) Blue Ribbon Panel on Bioterrorism Committee.

What is the Bioterrorism Respiratory Protection project?

The Respiratory Protection project focuses on the protective actions of antibodies due to their ability to bind and coat bacteria within the respiratory tract, and thus reduce the capacity of the pathogen to affect humans. These protective antibodies can be prepared in a large scale utilizing bovine colostrum, a field in which Anadis is a world leader.

In the past, bacteria that cause Plague and Anthrax have proved to be very difficult to vaccinate against or to treat with antibiotics because they survive within immune cells in the lungs. Laboratory trials have since shown the Anadis technology to be highly successful in protecting the lungs against a Yersinia Pestis, a bacterium that is closely related to the species that causes Plague.

Conventional approaches to fight these diseases rely on vaccines that need to be taken months before exposure or treatments given after exposure. Anadis' breakthrough technology has potential to offer immediate protection against airborne virus and bacteria such as Anthrax and the Plague, and improve responsiveness to conventional therapy after exposure.

Integration of the technology into future emergency and medical plans will be assisted by an advisory network, from a joint effort with expertise in Defence and Emergency Management, Public Health and Biotechnology both in Australia and the USA.

Working with Starpharma Holdings Limited

During February 2005, Anadis announced collaboration with Starpharma Holdings

(ASX:SPL, USOTC:SPHRY) to investigate applications of our combined technologies for use in the fields of respiratory protection and biodefense.

This research involves the use of Anadis' polyclonal antibodies and antibody fragments, harvested from bovine colostrum combined with Starpharma's nano-scale dendrimer molecules to provide immediate short term respiratory protection from airborne biological agents.

The aim is to create highly potent "molecular mops" which can capture toxins or infectious agents before they cause harm.

Dendrimers are a type of nanoparticle. They are man-made chemicals that form tiny balls made up of a dense network of branches. Dendrimers have applications in the medical, electronics, chemicals and materials industries.

The threat of terrorism, as well as exposure to pathogens caused by natural disasters such as the Asian Tsunami, confirm the urgent need for new technologies that offer fast-acting prevention or treatment. Combining the Starpharma and Anadis technologies may offer a unique solution to these problems.

Anadis sees this collaboration as a potential avenue for this research program. This work will run concurrently with the existing research methodologies.

Opportunities

The joint research agreement, with MARCE, is based around two key pieces of intellectual property owned by Anadis. The first covers immediate protection against bacteria such as Yersinia pestis (the Plague bacteria), Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax bacteria) and shigatoxin (a bacterial toxin made deadly through delivery by air). The second is Anadis' fast-developing expertise and intellectual property on shielding delicate bioactive proteins in hostile environments (BioShield 10).

The respiratory technology will be supported by production techniques that Anadís has developed for other products. This ensures that mass production of the future products can be accomplished quickly and effectively in Australia.

Importantly, Anadis also views this research as a spring-board for further development opportunities in civilian applications. These applications include the prevention and treatment of allergic respiratory diseases such as Asthma and Hay-fever.

Immune Stimulating Infant Formula

During November 2004 Anadis and Tatura Milk Industries announced the winning of a Commonwealth Government Food Innovation Grant ("FIG" grant) for approximately one million dollars. This grant is for research aimed at developing a specialty milk powder for human infant formula for the Asian market.

This aim is for this new product to contain naturally high levels of anti-oxidants - which appear to be important in the immune development of children. Infants are born with poorly developed immune systems, and immune health is more significant in Asia than in the West because of enhanced risks from diseases such as viral and bacterial gastroenteritis, respiratory diseases and Enterovirus 71.

The research for this program is expected to run for two years.

Expected benefits of this formula include:

  • Enhanced immune protection for infants arising from the capacity of antioxidants to stimulate immune function.
  • Safe and effective function based on matching the anti-oxidant function levels found in human breast milk.
  • Strong natural pathways for enhancing the anti-oxidant content. This is extremely favorable around the world and especially in Asia.
  • Evidence of health benefits for the cow arising from the specialty diet. The inference is that healthier cows will provide more healthy milk.

This project is based on the development of health branded infant and child formula product for Asia (market approximately AUD \$1.6B). One of the major differences in this project, from the usual approach to spiking infant formula with artificial chemical forms of bio-actives, is this proposed formula is made naturally i.e. the cow includes the antioxidant in the milk – packaged much the same way it is in human mothers' milk.

TACHS-Tatura Anadis Colostrum Harvesting System

Anadis Scientific and Field staff, together with Tatura Milk Industries and its farmers, have developed a revolutionary way to collect and process colostrum. resulting in a higher quality, higher value product.

This innovation, the Tatura Anadis Colostrum Harvesting System (TACHS) has substantially altered the economics of small volume, specialty products collection. For the first time ever, farmers can easily and cost-effectively collect large volumes of top quality colostrum with very little impact on the flow of farm life and the usual dairy process.

The system allows for separation and selection on an animal by animal basis, with close monitoring

of animal health - resulting in excellent quality control. Because only the first milking of colostrum is taken, there is more than enough colostrum left to feed the calves. Only the first milking colostrum is collected as this contains the highest levels of antibodies (1gG) and other desired bioactives.

The colostrum is "milked" from the cow into the TACHS system, where it is packaged, and then frozen almost immediately. Each cow's product is separate and can be tracked by a unique identifier. An integrated sampling pouch is part of the system, so quality testing can be carried out on an individual cow basis, well before bulking product at the factory. Once frozen the bioactivity of the colostrum remains intact. This is opposed to conventional methods where the colostrum may be sitting for days, before it is frozen, where it begins to spoil.

Colostrum can now be collected from all stages of the calving period, not just at peak calving times. This is particularly important for hyper immune programs where the animals are specially vaccinated. TACHS works well for all farms from small to large, thus allowing us to access TMI's entire supplier base. Transportation by refrigerated van, rather than liquid tanker, is more efficient and cost-effective.

High quality product can be stock piled while frozen and processed as needed, and product not suitable for human consumption can be returned to the farm for calves. We also restrict collection to no more than 80% on any one farm, so as to ensure there is plenty of high quality colostrum for the calves.

Intellectual property

A patent has been lodged to protect TACHS from unlicensed use.

TACHS benefits

Set-up costs are small, and savings in collection and processing costs can be handed back to farmers, providing greater returns and acceptance of the system - TACHS has proved to be profitable and efficient.

TACHS allows for the strict quality

control that is necessary for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. In addition to first milking colostrum, other high value milk fractions can be collected using TACHS.

Anadis Manufacturing

The Anadis toll manufacturing facility continues to build on its experience, quality, speed, cost effectiveness, and responsiveness to meet customers production needs. This facility has enabled Anadis to partially offset its Research and Development costs internally.

Our manufacturing customers recognize the many advantages of working with a biopharmaceutical based R & D Company which can provide access to new ideas and discussion on further product development.

Our customers and prospects recognise the many advantages of contract packaging such as reduced staffing, training & maintenance costs, fixed unit cost with no capital investment and none of the problems associated with the setting up new production lines.

Anadis is committed to form strategic partnerships with our customers to ensure that their products succeed in the market place and establishing long-term consultancy support in the fields of government, food and veterinary regulations

Well qualified and experienced production staff are highly regarded assets of the production facility. Every employee has enthusiastically contributed to the realisation of a culture of quality and is regularly trained in aspects of quality, hygiene, safety and customer relations.

Accordingly, Anadis continues being certified by State and Federal authorities as an A-rated facility for processing quality foodstuffs, nutraceuticals and more recently, veterinary preparations. Anadis has established strong links with

major manufacturing, trading organisations and government bodies. Anadis has officially received HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) registration under the internationally recognized CODEX standard. The manufacturing facility has been HACCP compliant for some time under state and federal government requirements. HACCP recognizes and addresses all issues of food

production relating to Quality, Risk Assessment and Control, as well as Food Safety for local and overseas markets.

Our accreditation includes the following:

  • Federal State & Local Legislative requirements for food processing & packaging, including to the requirements of Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), their standards and regulations.
  • Australian Quarantine & Inspection Service (AQIS) regulations for the export of food products.
  • International Accreditation for quality manufacture under Codex International externally audited by SAI Global
  • Practices & procedures are based on the National Code of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and a HACCP program that has been developed with Australian and International accreditation is in place.
  • Dairy Food Safety Victoria accreditation for the production of dairy products and its derivatives.
  • Australian Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) Manufacturers Licence

Freeze drying services add value to health & food industry

Contract freeze drying caters to boutique requirements for value-added products and allows for pilot scale assessment for other research and development organisations. Anadís has assisted in R&D programs involved in the freeze drying of active materials from a variety of sources for later extraction. Upon completion of their research and development, Anadis is then in a position to gain commercial scale manufacturing rights from these customers.

Significant events after the balance date

There are no significant events which have occurred since 30 June 2005.

Future developments and results

Anadis Limited continues to be principally a research company developing human therapeutics from bovine colostrum. The development of a nutracenticals business alongside the research programme allows the Company to exploit the research results at an earlier stage than pharmaceutical proof.

Remuneration report

The remimeration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration, Á
  • R Details of remaneration
  • $\mathcal{C}$ Service agreements, and
  • Đ Share-based compensation.

Á. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Anadis Limited is a research and development company specializing in products derived from bovine colostrum. As such, it generates cash from capital raisings. It supplements this cash from contract manufacture at its plant in Campbellfield.

Anadis is also a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX"). It currently incurs losses as its research expenditure exceeds the cash inflow. However, its first product, Travelan, was released to the market in late 2004.

Shareholder wealth is best measured by reference to success in research activities, and the price quoted on the ASX. The price at year end is in excess of the listing price (20 cents), and research into major potential products such as Travelan, EV 71 (for the prevention of enterovirus 71), and other general "gut health" items is progressing well.

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, the chief executive officer and the executive team. The Board assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

Remuneration report (continued)

Á. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay and long-term incentives.

Non-executive directors

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. Directors do receive share options when approved by shareholders.

Directors' fees

The current base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 July, 2003. The Chairman's remuneration is inclusive of committee fees while additional fees are also paid to non-executive directors for their membership of Board committees. Bonuses are not paid.

Non-executive directors fees are determined within an aggregate directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The pool, which was last varied by shareholders on 11 November, 2003, stands at \$250,000 for cash remuneration. The Company will seek shareholder approval at the 2005 AGM to increase the pool to \$350,000 to allow for routine increases and additional directors, should that be warranted.

Retirement allowances for directors.

Non-executive directors retirement payments are limited to compulsory employer superannuation.

Executive pay

The executive pay and reward framework has three components:

  • · Base pay and benefits, and
  • Long term incentives through participation in the Anadis Limited Employee Share Option Plan, and
  • ٠ Other remuneration such as superanmation.

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Base pay

Executives are given the opportunity to receive the base emolument in a variety of forms including cash and benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role and is reviewed annually to ensure the executive's pay is competitive with the market.

There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executives' contracts.

Benefits

Executives receive benefits including motor vehicle allowances and expense payment plans.

Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits are delivered by payments to an executive's approved superannuation fund.

Anadis Employee Option Plan

Information on the Anadis Option Plan is set out on page 38

    1. Ensuring that the Board is fully informed of all matters which may have a material impact on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations.

ASX Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value.

Board Composition.

The Board determines its size and composition, subject to the limits imposed by the Company's Constitution, which requires a minimum of three and a maximum of ten. Currently there are six (6) directors.

The Company will at all times bear in mind the need to have a majority of independent directors. An independent director is independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.

Notwithstanding this, the Board recognises that in a small, specialised industry such as biotechnology, it is very desirable that board members have some industry background and therefore may not be completely independent.

Currently all non-executive directors, including the Chairman, are considered to be independent except Mr. Nudel.

In particular, the Board has considered the independence of Professor Roy Robins-Browne.

Much of the Company's research work is done at the University of Melbourne in departments managed by Professor Robins-Browne. The work was initially won on a competitive basis and no personal benefit is earned by Professor Robins-Browne as a consequence of this work. In fact, the Company believes it benefits from the oversight of research consequent upon Professor Robins-Browne's supervision.

Mr. Nudel is not considered to be independent as he is a director of Paracroft Pty. Ltd. a member of the Anadis Group who is a substantial shareholder.

The current Board members are:

The skills, experience and expertise of each director is set in the Directors Report in the annual report.

The Board collectively and each director individually may take, at the expense of the Company, such independent professional advice as is considered necessary to fulfil their relevant duties and responsibilities.

Board Committees

The Board has established two committees, Audit & Risk and Science, to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex issues.

The Company does not have a separate nomination committee or a remuneration committee as these tasks are carried out by the full Board. The Board believes that, at this stage of the Company's development, these functions are best handled by the full Board. The Board will establish other committees, either permanent or ad hoc, as required by the Company's future development. In addition and for the reasons mentioned, the Board does not currently have a formal policy on selecting new directors.

ASX Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value. (continued)

Audit & Risk Management Committee.

The Committee is dedicated to independently:

  • Verifying and safeguarding the integrity of the company's reporting, 1
  • $\overline{2}$ Identifying, assessing and monitoring management applications of risk minimisation procedures, and
  • $\ddot{\mathbf{3}}$ Informing the Board of material changes to the Company's risk profile.

The Board has given the Committee all the necessary powers to carry out the above.

Science Committee

The primary objective of the Committee is to provide technical support to management in the conduct of the Company's research programs and to critically review the research findings.

This is achieved by undertaking regular meetings with management and providing access to a wide range of scientific knowledge including a number of technical advisors retained by the Company.

ASX Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision- making.

The Company has adopted the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines on ethical research practices.

Code of Conduct.

Anadis is guided in all its activities by respect for all its stakeholders including employees, shareholders, contractors, customers and suppliers.

The Board has articulated the Company's requirements for standards of conduct, from directors and senior management, based on the following principles;

    1. Directors are subject to re-election every three years,
  • The Chairman must be independent, 2.
  • Conflict of interest must be avoided wherever possible. If, for any reason, a potential conflict arises, the $31$ director/employee must declare the conflict and absent themselves from all discussions and decisions on the relevant matter.
    1. Employees and directors must respect the confidentiality of the Company's assets, including intellectual property, both during and after employment,
  • The Company will comply with all relevant legislation and regulation, 5.
  • The Company will deal fairly with all its stakeholders, and 6.
    1. The Company will promote a culture of ethical behavior, encouraging openness amongst employees, directors and contractors.

Trading in Company Securities.

The Company's policy is that there be no dealings in the Company's securities, whether in permitted periods or at any other firme:

  • $\mathbf{1}$ . When a designated officer is in possession of inside information, or
  • $2^{\circ}$ Where the dealing is for short-term or speculative gain, or
  • Within a period that is 72 hours prior to and 48 hours after any announcement. $\ddot{\mathbf{3}}$

Apart from these restrictions a designated officer can, unless there are special circumstances, only deal in the Company's securities in the following periods:

Within the period commencing 48 hours after the announcement of the half year and full year financial results respectively and ending 1 month after each of those announcements.

ASX Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision- making. (continued)

Within the period commencing 48 hours after the dispatch of the annual report made to shareholders through to one month after the annual general meeting.

Each director has entered into an agreement with the Company to provide information to allow the Company to notify the ASX of any share transaction within five business days.

ASX Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting.

In addition to the financial review functions of the Audit & Risk Committee referred to above, the Board regularly reviews the monthly financial reports. It also requires the Chief Executive Officer to provide written assurances in respect to the accuracy and compliance of the annual and half yearly published financial statements. Due to the size of the Company, there is not a separate role for a Chief Financial Officer and, as a result, the Chief Executive Officer fills that role.

The Audit & Risk Committee has its own Charter, three non-executive members (all of whom are independent) and is chaired by an independent member who is not the chairman of the Board. Details of the number of meetings are set out in the Directors Report in the annual report.

The auditor provides a certificate to the Company confirming their independence. Rotation of the auditor will proceed as required by Law or Regulation. The Company currently has no intention of replacing the existing auditors, however should this arise it will made a selection following a competitive process. Non audit work is arranged based on cost and the needs of the Company

ASX Principle 5: Making timely and balanced disclosure.

As a company whose shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), Anadis is very conscious that it has an obligation to ensure that the market is both fully and accurately informed about material matters by timely and balanced disclosure.

The information disclosed will be factual and presented in a clear and balanced way. The Company has prepared and issued to all senior staff a written policy document on this matter and requires strict adherence to this policy. Continuous disclosure is a standard agenda item at all Board meetings.

ASX Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders.

The Company is committed to respecting the rights of shareholders and facilitating the effective exercise of those rights.

This is achieved by:

    1. Effective and regular communications including a regular newsletter and modern up to date website.
    1. Providing access to timely, balanced and understandable information about the Company and its current and future direction, and
    1. Facilitating easy participation at general meetings.

The Company's external auditor attends each general meeting and is available to answer any questions with regard to the conduct of the audit and their report.

ASX Principle 7: Recognise and managing risk.

In addition to the risk review functions of the Audit & Risk Committee referred to above, the Board receives regular written reports from the Science Committee and the Chief Executive Officer covering all matters within their respective portfolios.

As part of its Charter, the Audit & Risk Committee has prepared an annual checklist of risk management and internal control matters which it systematically reviews with senior staff including external consultants. The Chief Executive Officer also provides a written statement that the control systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

In addition to the usual business risks, the particular risks associated with the Company's activities are:

    1. long lead times and high costs associated with biotech R&D,
    1. the low success rate of biotech research in Australia,
    1. stringent health regulations which are subject to regular change,
    1. the high level of funding required over a long period of time, and
    1. securing intellectual property.

ASX Principle 8: Encourage enhanced performance.

To ensure that the directors and key executives are equipped to develop the Company, the directors are committed to fairly review and actively encourage enhanced board and management effectiveness.

This will be achieved by informing, training, and evaluating individual and collective performance regularly and fairly.

Measurable and qualitative indicators will be established for board members (including their roles on committees) and key executives and their performance will be regularly reviewed against these indicators. This is an ongoing process achieved through the completion of questionnaires and peer assessment.

ASX Principle 9: Remunerate fairly and responsibly.

The Board notes the Corporate Governance Council recognises that, for small companies, the efficiencies expected to flow from a formal committee structure may not be apparent. The Board agrees with this view.

The full Board will exercise these responsibilities and set the policies for remaneration of directors and senior managers so as to comply with the Corporation Act, accounting standards and the ASX Listing Rules. Remuneration for executive directors and staff is determined by reference to market rates. From time to time employees are offered Options under plans previously agreed by shareholders. In a company at this stage of its development, the only meaningful performance target is the share price and the exercise price for such options are set well in advance of where the shares are trading at the time of issue and, for executives, usually have a two year vesting period.

As the number of options on issue at anyone time is low and the price and exercise periods differ, the Board considers that the exercise of such options will have little or no effect on the Company's share price or Earnings Per Share.

In setting remuneration for non-executive directors, the Board will use the following principles;

    1. Non-executive directors shall be paid fees and superannuation plus supplements for committee work within the aggregate amount set by shareholders in general meeting (last set in 2003 at \$250,000 for cash remuneration),
    1. Non-executive directors participate in options arrangements subject to shareholder approval. The Board does not accept that options should not be given to non-executive directors as it believes (and shareholders have previously agreed) that in an R&D company their particular expertise is vital to the team effort and therefore options are a valid incentive,
    1. Non-executive directors retirement payments are limited to compulsory employer superannuation, and
    1. Bonuses will not be paid to non-executive directors.

Details of remuneration paid to directors and senior staff is set out in the Directors Report in the annual report.

ASX Principle 10: Recognise the legitimate interests of stakeholders.

The Board is committed to delivering maximum share value to the shareholders while maintaining high standards of customer service and employment. In addition, the Company aims to achieve full compliance with relevant legislation and contribute to the wider community and therefore all stakeholders.

This will be achieved by the application of the principles set out in this Corporate Governance Statement.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies

$(a)$ Basis of Accounting

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards. other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act 2001.

It is prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year.

$(b)$ Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to Australian dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of each transaction. At balance date, amounts outstanding in foreign currencies are converted to Australian dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year. All gains and losses are brought to account in determining the profit or loss for the year.

$\epsilon$ Cash

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, money market investments, bank term deposits readily convertible to cash, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

$(d)$ Inventories

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.

$(e)$ Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost or revalued amount of each item of plant and equipment (excluding land) over its expected useful life to the Company. Depreciation on buildings is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost or revalued amount of the property (excluding land) over its expected useful life to the Company.

Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items. Profits and losses on disposals of plant and equipment are taken into account in determining the result for the period.

The expected useful lives are as follows:

Buildings 50 years
Building Improvements $10 - 40$ years
Plant & Equipment $3 - 15$ years
Computers $2 - 4$ years
Furniture and Fittings $5 - 15$ years

$(0)$ Intangible assets

Goodwill

Where a Company or operation is acquired, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. The excess of the fair value of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, including any liability for restructuring costs, is brought to account as goodwill and amortised on a straight line basis over 20 years, being the period during which the benefits are expected to arise.

Revenue Recognition (g)

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific revenue criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of Goods - Control of the goods has passed to the buyer.

Interest -- When the right to receive consideration for the investment has been attained.

Grant revenue - recognised a percentage completion basis within the relevant project's timetable.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(h)$ Employee Benefits

The amounts expected to be paid to employees for their pro-rata entitlements to long service and annual leave are accrued annually on the basis of statutory and contractual requirements. The contributions made to superannuation funds are charged against the profit and loss account.

Earnings Per Share (j)

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit or loss after income tax attributable to members of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

$\ddot{\mathbf{u}}$ Income Tax

Tax effect accounting procedures are followed whereby the income tax expense in the statement of financial performance is matched with the accounting profit after allowing for permanent differences. The future tax benefit relating to tax losses is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of realisation.

Income tax on cumulative timing differences is set aside to the deferred income tax or future income tax benefit accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.

Research & Development $\left( \mathbf{k}\right)$

Costs incurred on research and development projects are deferred to future periods to the extent they are expected beyond any reasonable doubt to be recoverable.

Directors' and Executive Remaneration $(1)$

Equity-based compensation benefits

Equity-based compensation benefits are provided to Directors and Executives via the Anadis Executive Share Option Plan $No.1.$

No accounting entries are made in relation to the Anadis Executive Share Option Plan No.1 until options are exercised, at which time the amounts receivable from employees are recognised in the statement of financial position as share capital. In accordance with AASB 1046 Director and Executive Disclosures by Disclosing Entities, the amounts disclosed for remuneration of directors and executives in note 28 include the assessed fair values of options at the date they were granted.

Borrowing costs $(m)$

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

$(n)$ Receivables

All trade debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 45 days from the date of recognition.

Collectibility of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectible, are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt as to collection exists.

Trade and other creditors $(\alpha)$

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

$(1)$ Maintenance and repairs

Routine operating maintenance, repair and minor renewal costs are also charged as expenses as incurred.

Recoverable amount of non-current assets $\left( q\right)$

The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through the cash inflows and outflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.

The expected net cash flows included in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets have been discounted to their present values.

52

Anadis Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2005

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Note 1.

Recoverable amount of non-current assets (continued) $(q)$

Where the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Where net cash inflows are derived from a group of assets working together, recoverable amount is determined on the basis of the relevant group of assets. The decrement in the carrying amount is recognised as an expense in net profit or loss in the reporting period in which the recoverable amount write-down occurs.

This benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if:

(a) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

(b) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the tax legislation; and

(c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

Remuneration of directors and executives

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, the chief executive officer and the executive team. The Board assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from retention of a high quality Board and executive team. The chief executive officer and members of the senior management team have employment contracts.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay and a blend of short and long-term incentives.

Non-executive directors

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. Directors do receive share options when approved by shareholders.

Directors' fees

The current base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 July, 2003. The Chairman's remuneration is inclusive of committee fees while additional fees are also paid to non-executive directors for their membership of Board committees. Bonuses are not paid.

Non-executive directors fees are determined within an aggregate directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The pool, which was last varied by shareholders on 11 November, 2003, stands at \$250,000 for cash remuneration.

Note 28. Directors and executive disclosures (continued)

Retirement allowances for directors.

Non-executive directors retirement payments are limited to compulsory employer superannuation.

Executive pay

Executives are given the opportunity to receive the base emolument in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

Note 29. Impact of adopting Australian equivalents to IFRS

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) is adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for application to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The AASB has issued Australian equivalents to IFRS, and the Urgent Issues Group has issue interpretations corresponding to IASB interpretations originated by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee. These Australian equivalents to IFRS are referred to hereafter as AIFRS. The adoption of AIFRS will be first reflected in the company's financial statements for the half-year ending 31 December 2005 and the year ending 30 June 2006.

Entities complying with AIFRS for the first time will be required to restate their comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of AIFRS to that comparative period. Most adjustments required on transition to AIFRS will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2004.

The Company Secretary has attended relevant training to assess the financial reporting implications of the above standards and a transition plan has been prepared for and approved by the Audit & Risk Committee to ensure the timely implementation of the new standards.

An analysis of all the AIFRS has identified the accounting policy changes that will be required. In some cased choices of accounting policies are available, including elective exemptions under Accounting Standard AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. These choices have been analysed to determine the most appropriate accounting policy for the Company.

The known or reliably estimated impacts on the financial report for the year ended 30 June, 2005 had it been prepared using AIFRS are set out below.

Although the adjustments disclosed in this note are based on management's best knowledge of the expected standards and interpretations, and current facts and circumstances, these may change. For example, amended or additional standards or interpretations may be issued by AASB and IASB. Therefore, until the Company prepares its first full AIFRS financial statements, the possibility cannot be excluded that the accompanying disclosures may have to be adjusted.

Major changes identified to date that will be required to the Company's existing accounting policies include the following: Intangible assets - goodwill

Under AASB 3 Business Combinations, amortisation of goodwill will be prohibited, and will be replaced by annual impairment testing focusing on the cash flows of the related cash generating unit.

This will result in a change to the current accounting policy, under which goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis over the period during which the benefits are expected to arise and not exceeding 20 years.

If the poticy required by AASB 3 had been applied during the year ended 30 June, 2005, goodwill at 30 June, 2005. would have been \$17,946 higher and amortisation expense for the year ended 30 June, 2005 would have been \$17.946 lower.

Equity-based compensation benefits.

Under AASB 2 Share-based Payment, from 1 July, 2004 the Company is required to recognise an expense for those options that were issued to employees under the Anadis Limited Employee Share Option Plan after 7 November, 2002 but that had not vested by 1 January, 2005. Options issued to contractors in lieu of fees will also need to be recognised as an expenses.

This will result in a change to the current accounting policy, under which no expense is recognised for equity-based compensation.

If the poticy required by AASB 2 had been applied during the year ended 30 June, 2005, retained losses at 30 June, 2005 would have increased by \$43,260, with a corresponding increase in the share-based payment reserve. For the year ended 30 June, 2005 employee benefits expense would have been \$23,260 higher and Contractors Expense \$20,000 higher with corresponding increases in the net movement in the share-based payment reserve.

Mr. Arie Nudel was appointed a director on 12 July, 2005. Refer to the Directors' Report (page 34) for details concerning Mr Nudel.

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of Anadis Limited:

  • gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of Anadis Limited as at 30 June 2005, and of its performance for the year ended on that date, and
  • is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Anadis Limited (the company), for the year ended 30 June 2005.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Carporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.

PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's financial position, and its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and

assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
