Directors’ Report
ABN 99 009 179 551
Review of operations
For the year ending 30 June 2012 the Group recorded a net loss after tax of $3,133,433 (2011: net profit after tax $415,539) and a net cash outflow from operations of $965,922 (2011: net cash inflow of $1,090,407).
By December 2011, Imugene completed a review of its vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio to determine the most appropriate path to follow after the termination of the global license agreement with Novartis was effected late September 2011. The review included some information from our former licensee, including the results of two trials that were undertaken by them.
The review considered both the commercial and scientific aspects of our vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio. The key conclusions are that there are components of our technology that have strong commercial prospects, particularly the pig vaccines. The strong trial results we have generated over the years seem not to always be reproducible when our protocols for determining vaccine concentrations and doses are not followed precisely. Additionally, Imugene has no control over the commercial parameters set or chosen for the successful progression of the vaccines through a partners product development program.
We are considering new approaches for delivering certain vaccines to maximise the efficiency of these vaccines, concentrating on the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) vaccine initially. We are undertaking discussions with interested parties to determine the level of commercial interest in progressing our technology.
The cocci vaccine program has been placed on hold following the review of trial results. Whilst the original vaccine showed great promise against the main strain of coccidiosis seen commercially, an effective vaccine would also need to protect against at least two other strains. This was not achieved in the trial and the time to make the additional components of the vaccine to provide that protection would not be commercially viable.
Given the shorter patent lives of the poultry products and the significant amount of further development required for the cocci vaccine, we are placing the development of all poultry vaccines on hold at this time.
The recoverable amount of intellectual property was reviewed and it was agreed by the board of directors to impair the carrying value of the intellectual property to nil. The directors of Imugene believe that this does not represent an inability to commercialise the intellectual property
The Group took a prudent approach to all expenditure, research and overhead expenses. The laboratory development work has been completed and the laboratory facility at La Trobe University in Melbourne was closed down at the end of October 2011.
Lingual Consegna Acquisition
After gaining shareholder approval at the EGM on 17 July 2012, Imugene finalised the acquisition of 100% of Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd from Consegna Group Limited on 31 July 2012 for 100,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares as consideration for the asset. Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd owns the family of patents and patent applications that protect the core drug delivery platform technology called LINGUET™.
The LINGUET™ platform is a technology which allows tablets to be dissolved under the tongue or through the Buccal cavity in the mouth (cheek) to release the active drug, which is absorbed immediately into the blood stream via the mucosa (lining) of the mouth. The active drug thereby bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and is able to reach its target more rapidly and in the process, significantly lowering side effects.
6
Directors’ Report
ABN 99 009 179 551
With a relatively short runway to commercialisation, the technology will be of particular interest to both multinational research based and generic pharmaceutical companies as they seek to identify new strategic differentiators. In addition, as it enhances the clinical benefits of existing pharmaceuticals, one of the key outcomes will be its ability to extend the period of exclusivity and patent life of existing products of major pharmaceuticals.
The vision for LINGUET™ is to utilise the existing IP and build additional know-how to create revenue generating commercial solutions within the pharmaceutical and healthcare global markets through:
-
use of known molecules that have known and proven regulatory routes;
-
low cost development with rapid and identifiable commercialisation programs; and
-
� opportunities with nutritional, over the counter and prescription medicine markets.
The major benefits identified from this vision include:
-
improved patient compliance and management (by targeting those populations who find it difficult to swallow oral medicines such as the young and the elderly);
-
a reduction in the need to overmedicate which should result in lower side effects; and
-
a reduction in costs associated with lower concentrations of an active drug required in sublingual or Buccal presentation, upto tenfold and therefore result in significantly lower costs of production.
Management considered in its due diligence that Linguet was at the stage of its development where by entry to market can be achieved quickly and relatively low additional financial investment. Further, compared to traditional drug development platforms, the LINGUET IP affords Imugene the ability to target markets that do not need significant clinical investment to acquire regulatory approval.

D Share-based compensation
-
E Additional information
This remuneration report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group receiving the highest remuneration.
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3c) of the Corporations Act 2001.
Details of key management personnel
(a) Directors
Mr. Graham Dowland Non - Executive Chairman Dr. Warwick Lamb Managing Director Mr. Roger Steinepreis Non - Executive Director
(b) Other key management personnel of the Group
- Dr. Michael Sheppard Chief Scientific Officer
The Directors and other key management personnel represent the highest paid executives of the Group.
No remuneration was paid to Directors or other key management personnel of the Group by Group companies other than Imugene Limited, accordingly remuneration paid to key management personnel of the Group is the same as that paid to key management personnel of the Company.
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
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 Board, acting in its capacity as remuneration committee, is to ensure that pay and rewards are competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The remuneration committee charter adopted by the Board aims to align rewards with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration framework applied provides a mix of fixed and variable pay and a blend of short and long-term incentives as appropriate.

Directors’ Report
ABN 99 009 179 551
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)
Non-executive directors
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. The Company’s policy is to remunerate nonexecutive 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. Non-executive directors do not receive share options.
Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
Retirement benefits and allowances
No retirement benefits or allowances are paid or payable to directors of the Company.
Other benefits
No motor vehicle, health insurance or other similar allowances are made available to directors (other than through salary-sacrifice arrangements).
Executive pay
Executive pay and reward consists of base pay, short-term performance incentives, long-term performance incentives and other remuneration such as superannuation.
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 guaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executives’ contracts. Base pay was increased during the year.
Short-term incentives
Contractual agreements with directors and other key management personnel provide for the provision of performance-related cash bonuses to be determined by the remuneration committee.
The contractual agreement with Dr Michael Sheppard includes a specific provision for the payment of an incentive bonus linked to the achievement of development and commercialisation of scientific related milestones in relation to key strategic, non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. All bonuses payable under this agreement have been paid.
The Board acting in its capacity as the remuneration committee established a short term incentive (STI) plan for the Managing Director to award a cash bonus for the 2011 calendar year. The remuneration committee considered the appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) to link the STI plan and the level of payout if targets were met. For the 2011 calendar year, the KPIs linked to the STI plan were based on individual commercial and operational targets. The maximum target bonus opportunity was $75,000.
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 2012, short-term incentives paid or payable to key management personnel of the Group were Nil (2011: $132,500):

Discretionary bonuses paid during the financial year ended 30 June 2011 to Dr. Lamb and Mr. Dowland were specifically related to the successful completion of and value attributed to the Alliance Agreement with Imugene’s Strategic Alliance Partner. The achievement of this significant milestone was considered to be directly linked to an increase in the value of the Group’s portfolio of assets.
The bonuses paid took into account the significant effort that the small and dedicated management team have applied in the development of the Groups intellectual property assets over the past seven years. In particular, the implementation and execution of the Groups commercialisation strategy which commenced in late 2005 has directly resulted in the securing of the Alliance.
A discretionary bonus was also paid to Dr. Michael Sheppard during the financial year ended 30 June 2011 specifically in recognition of Mr. Sheppard’s work in increasing the performance of the Groups pig vaccines. There were no bonuses paid in 2012.
Long-term incentives
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 Group.
The grant of share options is not directly linked to previously determined performance milestones or hurdles as the current stage of the Group’s activities makes it difficult to determine effective and appropriate key performance indicators and milestones.
There is currently no board policy in relation to the person granted the option limiting his or her exposure to risk in relation to the securities. The remuneration committee will review the policy if / when any long-term incentives are granted. There are currently no long-term incentives in place within the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IMUGENE LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Imugene Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Imugene Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
1. Corporate information
Imugene Limited (“Parent Entity”) is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial statements consist of consolidated financial statements for Imugene and its subsidiaries (“Group or Consolidated Entity”).
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements are general-purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in Australia. Compliance with these standards ensures that the financial statements of Imugene Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, disclosed in note 4.
b) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Imugene Limited as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
25
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Imugene Limited.
c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
d) Foreign currency
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Imugene’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the 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.
e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below:
Management fees to subsidiaries
Revenue from management fees charged by the Company to its wholly owned subsidiaries is recognised in the accounting period in which management services are rendered.
26
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Royalties, license fees and milestone payments
Royalty revenue, revenue from the sale of sub-licences and milestone payments are recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.
f) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
g) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Parent Entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
27
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Tax consolidation
Imugene Limited and all its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Imugene Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group.
Imugene Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Imugene Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities 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.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) whollyowned tax consolidated entities.
h) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash- generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cashgenerating 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 immediately in profit or loss.
h) Cash and Cash equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
i) Financial Assets
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost.
Other financial assets only consist of ‘loans and receivables’. The classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Recognition and Derecognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through the profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Subsequent Measurement
Loans and receivables are subsequently recorded at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Impairment
The Consolidated Entity assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
29
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ABN 99 009 179 551
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flow, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the profit or loss.
j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment and fixtures and fittings are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 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 calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost of each asset, net of residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Fixtures and fittings 5 years Plant and equipment 5 - 15 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the profit or loss.
k) Intangible Assets
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
Patents, trademarks and licences previously recognised as an asset upon the acquisition of Vectogen Pty Limited have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 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.
Subsequent expenditure on patents is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Research and Development Costs
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
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.
l) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Employee Benefit
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
n) Defined Contribution Superannuation Plans
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable.
o) Share–based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees where the Board considers that this provides a cost-effective and efficient means of remunerating and incentivising employees.
The fair value of the options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
p) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
q) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, 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 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

r) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated goods and services tax (GST), except:
-
i. Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense; or
-
ii. For receivables and payables which are stated inclusive of GST receivable or payable.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
s) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 30 June 2012. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 and are expected to impact the Group in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2015)
Issued December 2009 and amended December 2010, AASB 9 Amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The available-for-sale and held-tomaturity categories of financial assets in AASB 139 have been eliminated. Under AASB 9, there are three categories of financial assets:
-
Amortised cost
-
Fair value through profit or loss
-
Fair value through other comprehensive income.
Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2016. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments. The entity does not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. There will therefore be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments to AASB 9 are first adopted.
AASB 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2013)
Issued August 2011, AASB 10 introduces a single ‘control model’ for all entities, including special purpose entities (SPEs), whereby all of the following conditions must be present:
-
Power over investee (whether or not power used in practice)
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from investee
-
Ability to use power over investee to affect the entity’s returns from investee.

For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because the entity does not have any special purpose entities.
AASB 11 – Joint Arrangements (effective 1 January 2013)
Issued August 2011 - joint arrangements will be classified as either ‘joint operations’ (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or ‘joint ventures’ (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement).
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because Imugene has not entered into any joint arrangements.
AASB 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective 1 January 2013)
Issued August 2011 - AASB 12 combines existing disclosures from AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 128 Investments in Associates and AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures. Introduces new disclosure requirements for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as new requirements for unconsolidated structured entities.
As this is a disclosure standard only, there will be no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures will be required for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as for unconsolidated structured entities.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective from 1 January 2013)
Issued September 2011, requires additional disclosures for items measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements. Extensive additional disclosure requirements for items measured at fair value that are ‘level 3’ valuations in the fair value hierarchy that are not financial instruments, for example land and buildings and investment properties. When this standard is adopted for the first time on 1 July 2013, additional disclosures will be required about fair values.
Currently, fair value measurement requirements are included in several Accounting Standards. AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and non-financial items recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position or disclosed in the notes in the financial statements. The entity has yet to conduct a detailed analysis of the differences between the current fair valuation methodologies used and those required by AASB 13. However, when this standard is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the financial statements because the revised fair value measurement requirements apply prospectively from 1 July 2013.
AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of
Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2012)
- Issued September 2011, Amendments to align the presentation of items of other comprehensive income (OCI) with US GAAP. Various name changes of statements in AASB 101 as follows: statement of comprehensive income – to be referred to as ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’
34
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
- statements – to be referred to as ‘statement of profit or loss’ and ‘statement of comprehensive income’.
OCI items must be grouped together into two sections: those that could subsequently be reclassified into profit and loss and those that cannot.
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2013, there will be no impact on amounts recognised for transactions and balances for 30 June 2013 (and comparatives). However, the statement of comprehensive income will include name changes and include subtotals for items of OCI that can subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss in future (e.g. foreign currency translation reserves) and those that cannot subsequently be reclassified (e.g. fixed asset revaluation surpluses).
The following are standards that are likely to have a disclosure impact only
IRFS 9 Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015)
Entities are no longer required to restate comparatives on first time adoption. Instead, additional disclosures on the effects of transition are required. As comparatives are no longer required to be restated, there will be no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures will be required on transition, including the quantitative effects of reclassifying financial assets on transition.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
Minimum comparative information
Clarifies the requirements for comparative information as follows:
-
Only one year’s comparative information (i.e. for the preceding period)
-
Two of each financial statement
-
Narrative information provided in preceding period’s financial statements that continues to be relevant in current period.
There will be no impact when this amendment is first adopted as the entity only includes comparatives for the preceding period.
IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
-
Clarifies that the following are required to be accounted for under IAS 12 Income Taxes:
-
Income tax relating to distributions to holders of equity instruments
-
Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity instrument.
There will be no impact when this amendment is first adopted because the entity has always accounted for income taxes relating to distributions to holders of equity instruments and transaction costs of issuing an equity instrument consistent with this clarification. This means that depending on the circumstances, income tax might be recognised in either profit or loss or equity.

3. Financial Risk Management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
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 provides written principles for overall risk management which 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.
A written policy has been adopted for overall risk management.
The Group holds the following financial instruments:
| Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables |
Consolidated 2012 2011 $ $ 1,016,748 1,905,942 - 53,233 1,016,748 1,959,175 138,758 338,351 |

a) Market Risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Imugene Limited is based in Australia, its shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the Group 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.

3. Financial risk management (continued)
The carrying amounts of the Groups financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Australian dollars except as set out below:
| Financial Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Consolidated | Consolidated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 US$ 970,268 |
2011 US$ |
||
| 1,769,262 |
Group Sensitivity
Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2012, had the Australian dollar weakened / strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all the other variables held constant, the Group’s profit for the year would have been $97,027 lower / higher (2011 - $167,000 lower / higher) mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. The results are more sensitive to movements in the Australian dollar / US dollar exchange rates in 2011 than 2012 because of the increased amount of US dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents. A 10% movement represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in Australian dollar / US dollar exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

3. Financial risk management (continued)
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
As at and during the year ended on balance date the Group had no significant interestbearing 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:
| Financial Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents Floating rate* |
Consolidated 2012 2011 $ $ |
|
|---|---|---|
| 1,016,748 1,905,942 |
- Weighted average effective interest rate 0.55% (2011: 0.32%)
Group Sensitivity
At 30 June 2012, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 50 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, the profit for the year would have been $5,084 lower / higher (2011 – change of 100 basis points: $9,530 lower / higher), mainly as a result of lower / higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
The 100 basis points movement represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
(iii) Commodity Price Risk
The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. The Group trades only with recognised, trustworthy third parties. 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. These include taking into account the customers’ financial position and any past experience to set individual risk limits as determined by the Board.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised on page 30.

(ii) Trade and Other Receivables
All trade and other receivables outstanding have good credit history with the group. There are no allowances for credit losses and no collateral is held for security for trade and other receivables (parent and group). No trade or other receivables are past due or have been renegotiated.
c) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash 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. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
Maturities of Financial Liabilities
As at the reporting date the Group have total financial liabilities of $138,758 (2011: $338,351), comprised of non interest-bearing trade creditors and accruals with a maturity of 1 - 3 months.
d) Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and/or disclosure purposes.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. There are no long term financial assets or liabilities which are subject to fair value estimation.
e) Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital, which includes cash and receivables, to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Entity.
None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
4. 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.
a) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
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:

4. Critical Accounting Estimates & Judgements (Continued)
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 and royalty income, market penetration, milestone achievement dates and production profiles.
As at 30 June 2012, the carrying value of patents, licences and other rights is Nil (2011: $2,259,745).

The Group’s accounting policy in relation to Government Grants is disclosed in note 2 (f).
Imugene applied for, and was awarded funding from the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) during the year ended 30 June 2011. The EMDG scheme reimburses up to 50% of expenses incurred on eligible promotion of Imugene’s technologies outside Australia, above a $10,000 threshold.
As at 30 June 2011, an amount of $52,500 has been classified as accrued income in relation to the EMDG grant application for eligible expenditure paid between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011 (refer to note 10). EMDG grant income received during the year ended 30 June 2012 totalled $40,875 (2011: $76,063), however EMDG grant income recognised and accrued at 30 June 2011 totalled $52,500. As a result of this over accrual at 30 June 2011, government grant income for the year ended 30 June 2012 is ($11,715) (2011:($50,437)).

The Group holds a range of intellectual property including patent applications, knowhow and licences to patents and patent applications. The intellectual property portfolio forms biological technologies that are being applied to disease prevention vaccines and biologically based productivity enhancers for the pig and poultry industry. There are no unfulfilled performance conditions in relation to the Group’s rights to use any part of the intellectual property portfolio, however under the terms of the licences the Group is responsible for the upkeep of the patents and patent applications.
In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of assets are determined using estimates of the present value of future cashflows using asset-specific discount rates. In reviewing the recoverable amount of intellectual property, the board has considered the following indicators of impairment:
-
The global licence agreement with Novartis was terminated during the half year period, with our initial interpretation that the results did not satisfy Novartis’ requirements for commercial progression.
-
The financial crisis has had an adverse effect on the life science arena and the ability to raise additional funding to progress intellectual properties through development stages.
It was agreed by the board of directors to impair the carrying value of the intellectual property to nil due to those factors outlined above. The directors of Imugene believe that this does not represent an inability to commercialise the intellectual property.
As at 30 June 2012, the carrying value of these patents and licences is nil (30 June 2011: $2,259,745).

With respect to the payment of dividends (if any) by Imugene in subsequent financial years, no franking credits are currently available, or are likely to become available in the next 12 months.
Imugene does not have a formal employee share option plan however the Board has from time to time granted options to employees and officers on a discretionary basis where it is considered that this provides a cost-effective and efficient means of remunerating and incentivising employees. In addition, shareholders have, in general meeting, approved the grant of incentive options to Directors. The share-based payment expenses above have been recognised in respect of the fair value of options granted as remuneration. Any resulting expenses are included in the share based payment reserve.
The fair value of options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The expense has been apportioned pro-rata to reporting periods where vesting periods apply. No options were granted during the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: nil).
