This remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
  • $\overline{B}$ Details of remuneration
  • $\ddot{\rm C}$ Service agreements
  • D Share-based compensation
  • E Additional information

The information provided under headings A-D includes remuneration disclosures that are required under Accounting Standard AASB 124 - Related Party Disclosures. These disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited. The disclosures in Section E are additional disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and are not subject to audit.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (audited)

At present the functions of the remuneration committee in relation to the remuneration of the Company's executives (including share and benefit plans) are carried out by the full board. No directors are present at meetings of the board in this function where their own remuneration is being considered. Issues of remuneration are considered annually or otherwise as required.

The objective of the remuneration committee is to ensure that pay and rewards are competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The charter adopted by the remuneration committee aims to align rewards with achievement of strategic objectives. The remuneration framework applied provides a mixture of fixed and variable pay and a blend of short and long term incentives as appropriate.

Non-executive directors

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at General Meeting. The Company's policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates (for comparable companies) for time, commitment and responsibilities. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company, however to align directors' interests with shareholders' interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

Retirement benefits and allowances

No retirement benefits or allowances are paid or payable to directors of the Company.

Other benefits

No motor vehícle, health insurance or other similar allowances are made available to directors (other than through salary-sacrifice arrangements).

Directors' Report 30 June 2006 (continued) - Remuneration report

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

Executives

Executive pay and reward consists of Base pay, Short term performance incentives, Long term performance incentives and other remuneration such as superannuation. Long term performance incentives to date have comprised options granted at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee in order to align the objectives of executives with shareholders and the Company. Vesting conditions for options granted during the year are linked to periods of service.

$\mathbf{\hat{2}}$ Base pay

Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay which comprises the fixed (unrisked) component of their pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness. There are no quaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executives' contracts.

$\mathbf{\hat{S}}$ Short term incentives

Payment of short term incentives is dependent on the achievement of key performance milestones as determined by the remuneration committee. For the year ended 30 June 2006, these milestones required performance in relation to key strategic, non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods.

Short-term bonus payments may be adjusted up or down in line with under or over achievement relative to target performance levels at the discretion of the remuneration committee. For the year ended 30 June 2006, short term incentives paid or payable to key management personnel of the Company / Group totalled \$100,000 of which \$50,000 was related specifically to achievement of two development and commercialisation milestones considered to be directly linked to an increase in the value of the Group's portfolio of assets. The remainder was awarded at the discretion of the board in their capacity as the Company's remuneration committee. Bonuses paid or payable during the prior financial year (to 30 June 2005) were awarded under the terms of a share-priced based bonus arrangement adopted by the Board in 2003 following an independent review of executive remuneration. As disclosed in the Company's 30 June 2005 annual report, that arrangement ended on 30 June 2005.

Independent audit report to the members of Imugene Limited

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for both Imugene Limited ("the company") and the consolidated entity, for the financial year ended 30 June 2006 as set out on pages 20 to 49. 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.

As permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001, the company has disclosed information about the compensation of key management personnel ("compensation disclosures") as required by paragraphs Aus 25.4 to Aus 25.7.2 of Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures ("AASB 124"), under the heading "remuneration report" of the directors' report, and not in the financial report. These compensation disclosures are identified in the directors' report as being subject to audit. The remuneration report also contains information not subject to audit.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate financial 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 and compensation disclosures in order to express an opinion on them 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 and the compensation disclosures comply with AASB 124. 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 Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Act 2001 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, their changes in equity and their cash flows and whether the compensation disclosures comply with AASB 124.

Deloitte.

Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report and the compensation disclosures in the directors' report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

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.

Audit Opinion

In our opinion:

  • the financial report of Imugene Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, $(1)$ including:
  • giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial position $(i)$ as at 30 June 2006 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
  • complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations $(ii)$ $2001$ ; and
  • $(2)$ the compensation disclosures that are contained under the heading "remuneration report" of the directors' report comply with paragraphs Aus 25.4 to Aus 25.7.2 of Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financial statements for Imugene Limited as an individual entity (Company) and the consolidated entity comprised by Imugene Limited and its subsidiaries (Group or Consolidated Entity).

Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

Australia Accounting Standards include AIFRSs, Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto prepared by the Consolidated Entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The parent entity financial statements and notes thereto also comply with IFRSs except that it has elected to apply the relief provided to parent entities in respect of certain disclosure requirements contained in AASB 132 financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure.

Application of AASB 1 First Time Adoption of Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

The Consolidated Entity changed its accounting policies on 1 July 2005 to comply with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). The transition to AIFRS is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards', with 1 July 2004 as the date of transition. An explanation of how the transition from superseded policies to AIFRS has affected the Consolidated Entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows is discussed in note 24.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the financial vear ended 30 June 2006, the comparative information presented in these financial statements, and in the preparation of the opening AIFRS balance sheet at 1 July 2004 (as described in note 24), the Consolidated Entity's date of transition.

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

$(b)$ Employee Benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Defined contribution superannuation plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

Financial Assets $(c)$

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost. Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss', 'held-to-maturity' investments, 'available for-sale' financial assets, and 'loans and receivables'. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost less impairment.

$(d)$ Financial instruments issued by the company

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

$(e)$ Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

$(f)$ Good and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

  • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as í. part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
  • ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$(q)$ Government grants

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the consolidated entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.

Government grants include government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the operating activities of the consolidated entity other than the requirement to operate in certain regions or industry sectors. Government grants relating to income are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the consolidated entity with no future related costs are recognised as income of the period in which it becomes receivable. Government grants relating to assets are treated as deferred income and recognised in profit and loss over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

$(h)$ Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement immediately.

Income tax $(i)$

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

$\theta$ Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net hasis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

Tax consolidation

The company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Imugene Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group.

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax-sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Imugene Limited and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Assets or liabilities arising under this arrangement are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group and amounts are determined by reference to amounts recognised in the financial records of members in the group.

$(k)$ Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licenses

Patents, trademarks and licences are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their expected useful lives of 15 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

Research and development costs

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.

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

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

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

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

IMUGENE

LIMITED

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Intangible assets (continued) $(k)$

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

All potential intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably.

$(1)$ Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

$(m)$ Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being the company (the parent entity) and its controlled entities as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements". Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each controlled entity from the date on which the company obtains control and until such time as the company ceases to control such entity.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

$(n)$ Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment and fixtures & fittings are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings but excluding land. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Fixtures and fittings 5 vears
Plant and equipment $5 - 15$ years

LIMITED

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Provisions $(0)$

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is probable that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

An onerous contract is considered to exist where the consolidated entity has a contract under which the unavoidable cost of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits estimated to be received. Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised as a provision to the extent that the present obligation exceeds the economic benefits estimated to be received.

Revenue recognition $(p)$

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

Rovalties, licence fees and milestone payments

Royalty revenue, revenue from the sale of sub-licences and milestone payments are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective vield on the financial asset.

Share-based payments $(a)$

Equity-settled share-based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as of 1 January 2005, are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

2. Financial Risk Management

Imugene's board of directors (Board) performs the duties of a risk management committee in identifying and evaluating sources of financial and other risks. The Board seeks to balance the potential adverse effects of financial risks on Imugene's financial performance and position with the "upside" potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the costs and expected benefits of the various methods available to manage them.

AASB 132 Financial Instruments Presentation and Disclosure requires the disclosure of information to assist users of the financial report in assessing the extent of risks related to financial instruments faced by the Group. These risks include financial risks such as market risks (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk & liquidity risk. These disclosures are not nor are they intended to be an exhaustive list of risks to which Imugene is exposed.

$(a)$ Market risk

i. Foreign exchange risk

Imugene Limited is based in Australia, its shares are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the consolidated entity reports its financial performance and position in Australian dollars (A\$). The Group operates internationally, with the result being that the Group is to some extent exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from fluctuations in the A\$ / US\$ exchange rate.

As at balance date, the Board has formed the view that it would not be beneficial for the Group to purchase forward contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge this foreign exchange risk. Factors which the board considered in arriving at this position included: The expense of purchasing such instruments; the inherent difficulties associated with forecasting the timing and quantum of US\$ cash inflows and outflows at a time when the consolidated entity is still at the commercialisation and development stage of monetising its intellectual property. The Board may reconsider its position with regard to hedging against foreign exchange risk in the future as the Group's activities evolve and / or in response to industry or macro-economic factors.

ii. Interest rate risk

As at and during the year ended on balance date the Group had no significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities other than liquid funds on deposit. As such, the Group's income and operating cash flows (other than interest income from funds on deposit) are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and liabilities is set out below.

The Directors consider that the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value in the current and previous financial years.

iii. Commodity price risk

The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

$(b)$ Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, trustworthy third parties and it is the Group's policy to perform credit verification procedures in relation to any customers wishing to trade on credit terms with the Group.

$(c)$ Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash, marketable securities, committed credit facilities and access to capital markets. It is the policy of the board to ensure that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations and maintain the flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities through keeping committed credit lines available where possible, ensuring the Group has sufficient working capital and preserving the 15% share issue limit available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.

$3.$ Critical accounting estimates & judgements

In preparing this Financial Report. the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.

IMUGENE Mandala Andra Andra Adam

LIMITED

Significant accounting judgements $(a)$

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Deferred tax assets

The Group has carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets as it is not considered sufficiently probable that these losses will be recouped by means of future profits taxable in the appropriate jurisdictions.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions $(b)$

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in note 16.

Impairment of assets

In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of assets are determined using estimations of the present value of future cashflows using asset-specific discount rates. For Patents, licences and other rights, these estimates are based on various assumptions concerning, for example future sales profiles, market penetration, milestone achievement dates and production profiles.

As at 30 June 2006, the carrying value of Patents, licences and other rights is \$3,965,445 (2005: \$4,306,585).

(c) Equity-based payments

Under AASB 2 "Share Based Payments", the Group is required to recognise an expense for all share based remuneration, including options granted after 7 November 2002 which had not vested by 1 January 2005.

Application of this policy to the balance sheet at 30 June 2005 increases consolidated and parent entity retained losses at 30 June 2005 by \$267,605 with a corresponding increase in the share-based payment reserve. For the year ended 30 June 2005, the consolidated and parent entity employee benefits expense (apportioned to Research and Development, Business Development and Commercialisation Expenses on a time basis) is now \$194.774 higher, with a corresponding increase in the net movement in the share-based payment reserve.
