Directors' and Executives' Remuneration
The Board is responsible for determining the nature and amount of emoluments packages applicable to the Board members and senior executives of the Consolidated Entity. The Board's remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the executive officer's duties and responsibilities. Remuneration is aimed at being competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining executive officer's of the highest quality. A bonus scheme was established in August 2003 for executive directors, which provides for a cash bonus payable half yearly dependent upon the average share price over that period (refer Note 19(a)(2) of the financial statements for further details).
The emoluments (paid or payable) of each Director and the executive officers for the year ended 30 June 2004 are as follows:
| Base remuneration (salary & fees) |
Bonuses | Non-cash benefits |
Super contributions |
Options issued |

| Mike Sheppard | 131.243 | 11.812 | 106.407 | 249.462 |
Notes.
The elements of emoluments have been determined on the basis of the cost to the Consolidated Entity.
- Executives are those directly accountable and responsible for the operational management and strategic direction of the Consolidated Entity.
- The Consolidated Entity uses the fair value measurement provisions of AASB 1046 "Director and Executive Disclosures for Disclosing Entities" and the pending AASB 2 "Share-based Payment" prospectively for all options granted to directors and relevant executives, which have not vested as at 1 July 2003. The fair value of such grants is being amortised and disclosed as part of director and executive emoluments on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. No adjustments have been made or will be made to reverse amounts previously disclosed in relation to options that never vest (ie. forfeitures).
From 1 July 2003, options granted as part of director and executive emoluments have been independently valued using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price. the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option. See below for further details.
Fair Value of Options
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model with the following assumptions used for grants made during the financial years ended 30 June 2003 and 30 June 2004;
| 2004 | 2003 | |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend yield | ||
| Expected volatility | 72% | 100% |
| Historical volatility | 72% | 100% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 5.56% | 5.5% |
| Expected life of option | 3.1 vears | 4.6 vears |
The dividend yield reflects the assumption that the current dividend payout will remain unchanged. The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.
The resulting weighted average fair values per option for those options vesting after 1 July 2003 are:
| Number of options | Grant date | Vesting date | Weighted average fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.000.000 | 27 November 2003 | 31 December 2003 | 12.2 cents |
| 1,500,000 | 27 November 2003 | 1 July 2004 | 13.4 cents |
| 1,500,000 | 27 November 2003 | 1 July 2005 | 13.0 cents |
Currently, these fair values are not recognised as expenses in the financial statements. However, should these grants be expensed, they would be amortised over the vesting periods resulting in an increase in expenses of \$638,445 for the 2004 financial year (2003: \$30,513). Note that no adjustments to these amounts have been made to reflect estimated or actual forfeitures (ie. options that do not vest).

Insurance of Officers and Auditors
During the year, no insurance premiums were paid by Imugene Limited to insure Directors, officers or auditors of the Company.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of Imugene Limited is responsible for its corporate governance, that is, the system by which the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are managed.
$\overline{1}$ . Board of Directors
Role of the Board and Management $1.1$
The Board represents shareholders' interests in continuing a successful business, which seeks to optimise medium to long-term financial gains for shareholders. By not focusing on short-term gains for shareholders, the Board believes that this will ultimately result in the interests of all stakeholders being appropriately addressed when making business decisions.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group is managed in such a way to best achieve this desired result. Given the current size and operations of the business, the Board currently undertakes an active, not passive role.
The Board is responsible for evaluating and setting the strategic directions for the Group, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. The Managing Director is responsible to the Board for the day-to-day management of the Group.
The Board has sole responsibility for the following:
- Appointing and removing the Managing Director and any other executives and approving their $\bullet$ remuneration:
- $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$ Appointing and removing the Company Secretary / Chief Financial Officer and approving their remuneration:
- Determining the strategic direction of the Group and measuring performance of management against Ä approved strategies:
- Review of the adequacy of resources for management to properly carry out approved strategies and $\bullet$ business plans:
- Adopting operating and capital expenditure budgets at the commencement of each financial year and $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$ monitoring the progress by both financial and non-financial key performance indicators:
- Monitoring the Group's medium term capital and cash flow requirements;
- Approving and monitoring financial and other reporting to regulatory bodies, shareholders and other organisations:
- Determining that satisfactory arrangements are in place for auditing the Group's financial affairs;
- Review and ratify systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of conduct and $\bullet$ compliance with legislative requirements; and
- $\bullet$ Ensuring that policies and compliance systems consistent with the Group's objectives and best practice are in place and that the Company and its officers act legally, ethically and responsibly on all matters.
The Board's role and the Group's corporate governance practices are being continually reviewed and improved as required.
Composition of the Board and New Appointments $1.2$ The Company currently has the following Board members:
| Mr Graham Dowland | Executive Chairman |
|---|---|
| Dr Warwick Lamb | Managing Director |
| Mr Roger Steinepreis | Non-Executive Director |
The Company's Constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than ten. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification.
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the appointment and further expense of an independent Non-Executive Chairman and additional independent Non-Executive Directors. The Board believes that the individuals on the Board can make, and do make, quality and independent judgments in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
If the Company's activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the Board will be reviewed periodically to determine the optimum number of directors required for the Board to properly perform its responsibilities and functions.
The membership of the Board, its activities and composition is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the Board shall include quality of the

መመደመኛ ምሳሌ
E-የአለምሮ ምሳሌ
individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other Board members, credibility within the Company's scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to Board duties and physical ability to undertake Board duties and responsibilities.
Directors are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by shareholders at the next annual general meeting. Under the Company's Constitution the tenure of directors (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, the Board may revoke any appointment.
$1.3$ Committees of the Board
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time. The Board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company's activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards.
The Board has also established a framework for the management of the Group including a system of internal controls, a business risk management process and the establishment of appropriate ethical standards.
The full Board currently holds meetings at such times as may be necessary to address any general or specific matters as required.
If the Group's activities increase in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate or special committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate.
Conflicts of Interest $1.4$
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company's Constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists the Director concerned does not receive the relevant board papers and is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered.
Independent Professional Advice $1.5$
The Board has determined that individual Directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as Directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense. The engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably. If appropriate, any advice so received will be made available to all Board members.
$2.$ Ethical Standards
The Board acknowledges the need for continued maintenance of the highest standard of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct by all Directors and employees of the Group.
Code of Conduct for Directors
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors to promote ethical and responsible decision-making by the Directors. The code is based on a code of conduct for Directors prepared by the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
The principles of the code are:
- A director must act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.
- A director has a duty to use due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office and exercising the $\bullet$ powers attached to that office.
- A director must use the powers of office for a proper purpose, in the best interests of the Company as a $\bullet$ whole.
- A director must recognise that the orimary responsibility is to the Company's shareholders as a whole but $\bullet$ should, where appropriate, have regard for the interest of all stakeholders of the Company.
- A director must not make improper use of information acquired as a director.
- A director must not take improper advantage of the position of director.
- A director must not allow personal interests, or the interests of any associated person, to conflict with the $\blacksquare$ interests of the Company.
- A director has an obligation to be independent in judgment and actions and to take all reasonable steps to $\blacksquare$ be satisfied as to the soundness of all decisions taken as a Board.
- Confidential information received by a director in the course of the exercise of directorial duties remains $\blacksquare$ the property of the Company and it is improper to disclose it, or allow it to be disclosed, unless that
IMIIRFNF
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
disclosure has been authorised by the Company, or the person from whom the information is provided, or is required by law.
- A director should not engage in conduct likely to bring discredit upon the Company.
- A director has an obligation at all times, to comply with the spirit, as well as the letter of the law and with the principles of the Code.
The principles are supported by quidelines as set out by the Australian Institute of Company Directors for their interpretation. Directors are also obliged to comply with the Company's Code of Ethics and Conduct, as outlined below.
Code of Ethics and Conduct $2.2$
$\blacksquare$
The Company has implemented a Code of Ethics and Conduct, which provides quidelines aimed at maintaining high ethical standards, corporate behaviour and accountability within the Company.
All employees and directors are expected to:
- respect the law and act in accordance with it:
- respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities;
- . value and maintain professionalism:
- avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest: $\bullet$
- act in the best interests of shareholders:
- by their actions contribute to the Company's reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks the respect of the community and environment in which it operates:
- perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety; Ä
- exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace and with customers, suppliers and the public generally; and
- act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times. $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$
An employee that breaches the Code of Ethics and Conduct may face disciplinary action. If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Ethics and Conduct has occurred or will occur, he or she must that breach to management. No employee will be disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach. All reports will be acted upon and kept confidential.
Dealings in Company Securities
The Company's share trading policy imposes basic trading restrictions on all employees of the Company with 'inside information', and additional trading restrictions on the directors of the Company.
'Inside information' is information that:
- is not generally available: and
- if it were generally available, it would, or would be likely to influence investors in deciding whether to buy or sell the Company's securities.
If an employee possesses inside information, the person must not:
- trade in the Company's securities:
- advise others or procure others to trade in the Company's securities; or $\bullet$
- pass on the inside information to others including colleagues, family or friends knowing (or where the $\bullet$ employee or Director should have reasonably known) that the other persons will use that information to trade in, or procure someone else to trade in, the Company's securities.
This prohibition applies regardless of how the employee or Director learns the information (eg. even if the employee or Director overhears it or is told in a social setting).
In addition to the above. Directors must notify the Company Secretary as soon as practicable, but not later than 5 business days, after they have bought or sold the Company's securities or exercised options. In accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing rules of the ASX, the Company on behalf of the Directors must advise the ASX of any transactions conducted by them in the securities of the Company.
Breaches of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment.

The Managing Director is responsible for interpreting and monitoring the Company's disclosure policy and where necessary informing the Board. The Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with ASX.
$3.2$ Communication with Shareholders
The Company places considerable importance on effective communications with shareholders.
The Group's communication strategy requires communication with shareholders and other stakeholders in an open, regular and timely manner so that the market has sufficient information to make informed investment decisions on the operations and results of the Group. The strategy provides for the use of systems that ensure a regular and timely release of information about the Group is provided to shareholders. Mechanisms employed include:
- Announcements lodged with ASX; $\bullet$
- ASX Quarterly Cash Flow Reports; $\bullet$
- Half Yearly Report; $\bullet$
- Presentations at the Annual General Meeting/General Meetings; and $\bullet$
- Annual Report.
The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and understanding of the Group's strategy and goals.
The Company also posts all reports, ASX and media releases and copies of significant business presentations on the Company's website (www.imugene.com).
$\overline{4}$ . Risk Management
$4.1$ Identification of Risk
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Group's risk management and control framework. Responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Group with the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and control framework.
Areas of significant business risk to the Group are highlighted in the Business Plan presented to the Board by the Managing Director each year.
Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk management include monthly reporting to the Board in respect of operations and the financial position of the Group.
$4.2$ Integrity of Financial Reporting
Commencing 30 June 2004, the Company's Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) report in writing to the Board that:
- the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities for each half and full year $\blacksquare$ present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Company's financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with accounting standards:
- the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and $\bullet$ control which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and
- the Company's risk management and internal compliance and control framework is operating efficiently $\bullet$ and effectively in all material respects.
$4.3$ Role of Auditor
The Company's practice is to invite the auditor to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report.
$5.$ Performance Review
The Board has adopted a self-evaluation process to measure its own performance and the performance of its committees during each financial year. Also, an annual review is undertaken in relation to the composition and skills mix of the directors of the Company.
Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor the performance of the Group's executives include:
- a review by the Board of the Group's financial performance: and
- annual performance appraisal meetings incorporating analysis of key performance indicators with each individual to ensure that the level of reward is aligned with respective responsibilities and individual contributions made to the success of the Company.
6. Remuneration Arrangements
The broad remuneration policy is to ensure that remuneration properly reflects the relevant person's duties and responsibilities, and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. The Board believes that the best way to achieve this objective is to provide Executive Directors and executives with a remuneration package consisting of fixed components and incentives that reflect the person's responsibilities, duties and personal performance.
A bonus scheme is currently in place for executive directors, which provides for a cash bonus payable half yearly dependent upon the average share price over that period (see Note 19(a) of financial statements for further details).
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined by the Board as a whole having regard to the level of fees paid to non-executive directors by other companies of similar size in the industry.
The aggregate amount payable to the Company's Non-Executive Directors must not exceed the maximum annual amount approved by the Company's shareholders.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This general purpose financial report 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 on an accruals basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year. Comparative information is reclassified where appropriate.
$(a)$ Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated accounts incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Imugene Limited ("Company or Imugene") as at 30 June 2004 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Imugene and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Consolidated Entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are eliminated in full. Outside equity interests in the results and equity of Controlled Entities are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial performance and statement of financial position respectively.
$(b)$ 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 the future income tax benefit accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.
$(c)$ Investments
Imugene's interests in listed and unlisted securities, other than controlled entities in the consolidated accounts, are brought to account at cost and dividend income is recognised in the statement of financial performance when received. The principles of consolidation of interests in controlled entities are set out in Note 1(a).
$(d)$ Recoverable Amount of Non-current Assets
The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through net cash inflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.
Where the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount the asset is revalued to its recoverable amount. Discounted cash flows are used in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets.
$(e)$ Employee benefits
Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, superannuation and long service leave. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, is used.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
$(f)$ Earnings per Share
Basic Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss after income tax attributable to members of Imugene by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment $(g)$
Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance or straight line basis to write off the net cost or revalued amount of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over its expected useful life to the Consolidated Entity. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items. The expected useful lives are as follows:-
$2 - 15$ years Plant and equipment
Where items of property, plant and equipment have separately identifiable components which are subject to regular replacement, those components are assigned useful lives distinct from the item of property, plant and equipment to which they relate.
$(h)$ Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 15 years.
Patents and Licences
Patents and licences are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, except to the extent that such costs, together with unamortised deferred costs in relation to that project, are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be recoverable.
Any deferred research and development costs are amortised over the period in which the corresponding benefits are expected to arise, commencing with the commercial production of the product.
The unamortised balance of research and development costs deferred in previous periods is reviewed requiarly at each reporting date, to ensure the criterion for deferral continues to be met. Where such costs are no longer considered recoverable, they are written off as an expense.
Government grants received or receivable in relation to research and development costs, which are deferred, are deducted from the carrying amount. Grants received or receivable in relation to research and development costs, which are recognised as an expense during the current or previous periods, are recognised as revenue.

${ii}$ Cash
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
$(i)$ Revenue Recognition
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 recognition criterion must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of Goods - Control of the goods has passed to the buyer.
Interest - Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained.
$(k)$ Comparative Amounts
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presented for the current financial vear.
The consolidated Statement of Financial Performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2003 has been reclassified as follows: .

| Loss from ordinary activities before income tax revenue | (2,044,118) | (2,044,118) |
The reclassification was undertaken to correctly classify the amortisation of goodwill, foreign exchange movement and payment of royalties according to their function. The reclassification has no impact on the loss attributable to the members of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2004.

(c) Restructuring of VosTech Business
During the 2003 financial year, the Company incurred expenses associated with the restructuring of the VosTech business. As a result of the restructuring, the VosTech business was transferred into a joint venture entity that was responsible for the development and commercialisation of products associated with the VosTech business, including the Sprayfry technology.
Imugene has now divested its ownership and commitment to the development of the technology and has no further funding obligations. Imugene maintains a variable royalty percentage (based on sales levels) until 1 October 2007.

Upon settlement of the acquisition of the indirect interest in VectoGen Pty Ltd by Imugene in the 2003 financial year, the Consolidated Entity was required to pay a one-off research and development cost of \$487,936 to CSIRO, which was incurred by VectoGen Pty Ltd upon Imugene completing the indirect acquisition of VectoGen Pty Ltd.

(b) Future income tax benefits arising from tax losses and timing differences of controlled entities not brought to account at balance date as realisation of the benefit is not regarded as virtually certain:

1.733.028
1.423.362

Tax losses - calculated using a tax rate of 30%
This future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:-
- future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be $(i)$ realised:
- the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and $(ii)$
- no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the benefit. $(iii)$
Tax consolidation
Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, Imugene Limited and its 100% owned subsidiaries will form a tax consolidated group. Members of the group will enter into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly-owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In addition, the agreement will provide for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. As at balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Imugene Limited.
There is no material effect on the future income tax benefits as a result of the revised tax legislation. Imugene will formally notify the Australian Taxation Office of its adoption of the tax consolidation regime when lodging its 30 June 2004 consolidated tax return.

$(c)$ Rights attaching to Shares
The rights attaching to fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") arise from a combination of the Company's Constitution, statute and general law.
Shares issued following the exercise of Options in accordance with Note 14(d) will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares.
Copies of the Company's Constitution are available for inspection during business hours at the Company's registered office. The clauses of the Constitution contain the internal rules of the Company and define matters such as the rights, duties and powers of its shareholders and directors, including provisions to the following effect (when read in conjunction with the Corporations Act 2001 or Listing Rules):
i) Shares
The issue of shares in the capital of the Company and options over unissued shares by the Company is under the control of the Directors, subject to the Corporations Act 2001, ASX Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of shares.
ii) Transfer of Shares
The Company participates in the electronic share registration and transfer system known as CHESS operated by ASX under the Security Clearing House Business Rules. Accordingly, the Company will issue holding statements in lieu of share certificates. The Company will not charge any fee for registering a transfer of shares. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of shares, or request SCH to apply a holding lock to prevent a proper SCH transfer, in the circumstances identified in the Constitution or as otherwise permitted or required under the Corporations Act 2001 or Listing Rules.
iii) Meetings of Members
Directors may call a meeting of members whenever they think fit. Members may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act 2001. The Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of members and all members are entitled to a notice of meeting. A meeting may be held in two or more places linked together by audio-visual communication devices.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
14. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (continued)
A quorum for a meeting of members is 2 natural persons, each of whom is or represents different Shareholders who are eligible to vote.
The Company holds annual general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules.
iv) Voting
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any shares or class of shares of the Company, each member of the Company is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting. Resolutions of members will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter present has one vote. However, where a person present at a general meeting represents personally or by proxy, attorney or representative more than one member, on a show of hands the person is entitled to one vote only despite the number of members the person represents.
On a poll each eligible member has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.
V) Dividends
Subject to any rights attaching to shares that may in the future be issued with special or preferred rights, the Directors may fix the amount, the time for payment and the method of payment of a dividend. Subject to any special rights attaching to shares (such as preference shares), dividends will be paid proportionately to the number of shares held by each member. The Company is not required to pay any interest on dividends.
vi) Winding Up
If on a winding up of the Company there remains a surplus, then under the Constitution and subject to any rights attaching to shares which may in the future be issued with special or preferred rights, all assets representing the surplus that may be legally distributed among Shareholders shall be so distributed in proportion to the number of shares held by each Shareholder.
vii) Dividend Plans
The Company's Constitution contains a provision allowing directors to implement a dividend reinvestment plan and a dividend selection plan. It is not currently intended that either a dividend reinvestment, or dividend selection plan will be implemented.
viii) Changes to the Constitution
The Company's Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
$\mathbf{ix}$ Share Buv-Backs
The Company may buy-back Shares in itself in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.
x) Listing Rules
Provided the Company remains admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in its Constitution, no act may be done that is prohibited by the Listing Rules, and authority is given for acts required to be done by the Listing Rules. The Company's Constitution will be deemed to comply with the Listing Rules as amended from time to time.

- $(iv)$ subject to the Corporations Act 2001, the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, the options are fully transferable:

However, the Company will ensure that, for the purpose of determining entitlements to any issue.

$(1)$ During the financial year, no remuneration was paid in the form of a long-term incentive bonus, non-monetary benefit,
prescribed benefit or other benefit to a specified director or specified executive. $(2)$
Following an independent review of the Executive Directors' remuneration, which indicated that the Executive Directors 'fixed' remuneration was in the lowest 25% for the biotechnology industry, the Board implemented a cash bonus arrangement to supplement the Executive Directors fixed salary. This bonus is based on the Company's share price and
has been implemented for the period 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2005. The bonus, if any, is payable in January is based on the Company's simple average daily share price over a period of 30 consecutive business days during the previous 6 month period as detailed in the table below. The simple average daily share price of the Company for the 6 month period prior to implementing the 'risked' component of the Executive Directors' remuneration (ie. the period 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003) was \$0.124:
| Simple average daily share price achieved over 30 consecutive |
Cash Bonus |
|---|---|
| business days during 6 month period | |
| > \$0.15 | 10.000 |
| > \$0.20 | 25.000 |
| > \$0.25 | 50.000 |
| > \$0.30 | 75.000 |
$>$ \$0.40
The maximum bonus payable each year is limited to \$200,000 per Executive Director.
The fair value of the options has been independently calculated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model and $(3)$ allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed above is the portion of the fair value of the options allocated to this reporting period (see Note 14(e) and (g) for terms and conditions of Performance Options and Executive Performance Options respectively).
150,000
- Other than as outlined above, there were no other executive officers of the Company during the year. $(4)$

The difference between the total market value of options issued during a financial year, at the date of issue, and the total amount received from executives and employees is not recognised in the financial statements except for the purposes of determining directors' and executives' remuneration in respect of that financial year as disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements. The amounts are disclosed in remuneration in respect of the financial years over which the entitlement was earned.
Consideration received on the exercise of equity-based remuneration is recognised in contributed equity. During the financial year \$15,000 (2003: nil) was recognised in contributed equity arising from the exercise of equitybased remuneration.
Options exercisable at \$0.1125 held by Mr Dowland, Dr Lamb and Mr Steinepreis were granted/acquired in their capacity as shareholders, not as equity based remuneration.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No event has arisen since 30 June 2004 that would be likely to materially affect the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of the Consolidated Entity or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity not otherwise disclosed in the Consolidated Entity's financial report.
28. CONVERGENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Australian Accounting Standards Board is adopting the Standards of the International Accounting Standards Board for application to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. Accounting standard AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards' prescribes transitional provisions for first-time adopters.
AASB 1047 'Disclosing the Impacts of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards' requires financial reports to disclose information about the impacts of any changes in accounting policies in the transition period leading up to the adoption date and will apply for June 2004 reporting.
The Company has allocated internal resources and in conjunction with its auditors is assessing those accounting policies and key areas that are likely to be impacted by the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As the Company has a 30 June year-end, priority has been given to the consideration of the impact of the Australian equivalents to the IFRS and the preparation of a balance sheet in accordance with those Australian equivalent standards as at 30 June 2004. This will form the basis of accounting for Australian equivalents of IFRS in the future, and is required when the Company prepares its first fully IFRS compliant report for the year ended 30 June 2006. As required by AASB 1047, the key accounting policies which will change and may have an impact on the financial report of the Company are set out below.
Goodwill
Under AASB 3 "Business Combinations" and AASB 128 "Investments in Associates", goodwill acquired on a business combination or in acquiring an investment in an associate company will no longer be able to be amortised, but instead will be subject to annual impairment testing. Under the new policy, amortisation will no longer be charged and if there is any impairment, it will be recognised immediately through the statement of financial performance.
Intangible assets
Under AASB 138 "Intangible Assets", intangibles acquired in a business combination and which have finite useful lives must be amortised over their useful lives. Internally generated goodwill, brands, costs related to research activities and items similar in substance may not be recognised as assets. All expenditure on research must be expensed when it is incurred.
Share based payments
The Group currently does not recognise an expense for options issued to directors and staff. Under AASB 2 "Share Based Payments", the Company will be required to recognise an expense for all share based remuneration, including options, and will amortise those expenses over the relevant vesting periods.
122312341344

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
28. CONVERGENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)
Income Tax
The Consolidated Entity currently recognises deferred taxes by accounting for the differences between accounting profits and taxable income, which give rise to 'permanent' and 'timing' differences. Under A-IFRS, deferred taxes are measured by reference to the 'temporary differences' determined as the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet. Because A-IFRS has a wider scope than the Consolidated Entity's current accounting policies, it is likely that the amount of deferred taxes recognised in the balance sheet will increase. In particular, significant increases in deferred tax liabilities are anticipated in relation to deferred taxes associated with fair value adjustments and intangibles arising in relation to pre-transition business combinations, and investments in associates.
The Consolidated Entity also has carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets as they do not satisfy the 'virtually certain' criteria under current GAAP (see Note 5(b)). Under A-IFRS, it may be easier to recognise these tax losses as deferred tax assets as they are recognised based on a 'probable' recognition criteria. The impact of this difference may be to increase deferred tax assets and opening retained earnings, and result in a higher level of recognised deferred tax assets on a go-forward basis. Adjustments to the recognised amounts of deferred taxes will also result as a consequence of adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities resulting from the adoption of other A-IFRS. The likely impact of these changes on deferred tax balances has not currently been determined.
Impairment of Assets
Under AASB 136 "Impairment of Assets" the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of net selling price and value in use. This will result in the Company's current accounting policy which determines recoverable amount of an asset on the basis of discounted (undiscounted) cash flows.
Financial Instruments
Under AASB 139 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" financial instruments will be required to be classified into five categories and to be measured based on the nature of the classification. The five categories and basis of measurement are:
- Financial asset or financial liability measured at fair value through the profit and loss
- Held to maturity investments measured at amortised cost, subject to impairment
- Loans and receivables measured at amortised cost, subject to impairment
- Available for sale assets measured at fair value with changes in fair value measured directly in equity
- Financial liability measured at amortised cost
This will result in a change in the current accounting policy that does not classify financial instruments.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IMUGENE LIMITED
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cashflows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Imugene Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the financial year ended 30 June 2004 as set out on pages 17 to 47. The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations 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 have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the company. Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance 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 controls, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and performance as represented by the results of their operations and their cash flows.
Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
Deloitte.
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.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
Audit Opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of Imugene Limited is in accordance with:
- the Corporations Act 2001, including: $(a)$
- giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial $(i)$ position as at 30 June 2004 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
