Letter from the Chairman

Dear Shareholders

I would like to welcome you to Imugene Ltd and our 2013 Annual Report. The past 12 months has seen many significant changes as the Company transitioned itself from its animal vaccine portfolio into a pharmaceutical business with a drug delivery platform at the centre of its assets.

I acknowledge that drug delivery has been a new and unfamiliar technology to many of the existing Imugene shareholders, however I am pleased to report that the past 12 months has seen much progress in cementing a robust strategy to commercialise our platform technology which delivers existing drugs in a better way into two key markets; consumer healthcare and therapeutics.

We are utilising our proprietary drug delivery technology Linguet[TM] to improve the efficacy and safety of a diverse number of nutraceutical (vitamins and supplements), prescription and over the counter medicines with an initial focus on Vitamin D.

Linguet enables the active ingredient of drugs to be absorbed straight into the bloodstream when placed inside the cheek (via the buccal mucosa) or under the tongue (sublingual). Linguet’s novel action is to facilitate the controlled and precise delivery of the drug into the bloodstream, whilst bypassing the digestive system. This enhances the performance and tolerability of drugs that are usually poorly absorbed or tolerated when administered orally.

Our two-market approach has been carefully considered to deliver near term revenues in the consumer healthcare market and long-term significant value inflexion points in the lucrative therapeutics market to substantially increase shareholder wealth.

At the time of writing, we are in discussions with Australian Nutraceutical companies to commercialise our first product, a melt-in-the-mouth vitamin D tablet, or as we would like to say a “meltlet”. This novel formulation is designed to address the issue of the unpleasant taste of vitamins, and alleviate the stresses that millions of people face worldwide who suffer with difficulty in swallowing, particularly different forms of vitamin tablets.

During the year, Imugene commissioned its own research to firstly validate the issues people have with swallowing and secondly, confirm a melt-in-the-mouth tablet is a solution that is desired. The vitamins and supplements industry is big business in Australia, worth an estimated $1.5bn each year and the industry is growing at up to 12% annually.

Above: Reported incidence of vitamin D deficiency defined as a 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level below 20 ng/mL around the globe in the general population. Source: Mayo Clinic - Vitamin D for Health: A Global Perspective

So why is vitamin D first? Well it is a global issue. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, worldwide, an estimated 1 billion people have inadequate levels of vitamin D in their blood. It does not discriminate; deficiencies are found in all ethnicities, in all climates and across all age groups.

Physicians in industrialized countries are now even reporting the resurgence of rickets, a disease that was nearly eradicated with public-health initiatives in the early part of the 20th century. Scientists now understand the wide reaching health effects of the deficiency from osteoporosis to heart disease, MS, chronic kidney disease and diabetes through to the seasonal flu.

During the last twelve months, we have completed the feasibility testing and formulation development for two initial vitamin D formulations, including a vitamin D supplement tablet which melts in the mouth for the consumer healthcare market and a prescription tablet that will be delivered straight into the blood stream via the mucosal lining of the mouth, accelerating onset and bypassing the stomach.

While current vitamin D supplements are available over the counter and by prescription, they do not deliver sufficient amounts or consistent amounts of Vitamin D due to the varying absorption rates of the drug when it is passed through the gastro-intestinal tract via an oral delivery method. This makes Imugene’s technology a compelling proposition for major pharmaceuticals, both in Australia and overseas.

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Over the next 12 months our pharmaceutical product development programs are scheduled to continue targeting vitamin D deficiency plus a range of other vitamins and supplements. This creates significant opportunities for Imugene as our patented delivery technologies have the potential to extend patent life and market exclusivity for such drugs. Accordingly, we will seek aggressively to license our intellectual property to pharmaceutical companies seeking to differentiate their products to preserve brand equity.

I very much look forward to all of us sharing in the upside that should arise out of the preparatory process we have been through internally this last year. With the board and management team we now have in place, I believe we have all components in place to get the job done and drive the business for long term.

As a final note, I would like to thank our team, board members and Executive Director, Dr Nick Ede for the marvelous effort and application they have shown in building this new enterprise. Again, I am grateful for your investment, patience and belief in our company.

Yours faithfully Steve Harris Chairman

Linguet™ Drug Delivery Technology

7 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Linguet™

Linguet is a proprietary drug delivery technology that improves the efficacy and safety of a diverse number of nutraceutical, prescription and over the counter medicines. The platform technology enables the active ingredient of drugs to be absorbed straight into the bloodstream when placed inside the cheek (via the buccal mucosa) or under the tongue (sublingual).

Through the Linguet buccal and sublingual tablet technology, many drugs that are usually poorly absorbed or tolerated by oral administration can be delivered to the bloodstream more effectively. Most importantly, the key to the Linguet platform is that the amount and rate of drug to be delivered through the oral mucosa directly to the bloodstream can be precisely controlled.

This approach also potentially allows for lower doses of the active drug, while achieving a better result. With conventional orally administered tablets; there is frequently loss of drug through enzymatic degradation in the stomach and metabolism in the liver (the so-called hepatic first pass effect). This has the effect of reducing the amount of drug available to the site of action. As a consequence, higher doses of the active drug are required to compensate for the amount of the drug that is lost in the stomach and liver. This raises the risk of side effects as well as increasing the cost of the product.

A further advantage of the Linguet technology is that it utilises excipients that are currently used in ingested tablets, albeit in different proportions, to modulate release and absorption rates and to assist in taste masking of unpalatable drugs. All components of the Linguet drug formulation are blended in a normal dry powder process and compressed in standard tableting machines, meaning that manufacturing costs are minimised. Products manufactured using the Linguet technology can be packed in conventional pharmaceutical product packaging. In addition, an added benefit discovered during formulation development in 2013 is that the Linguet tablet dissolves rapidly when placed in the mouth without leaving any residue or after-taste. This exciting research discovery opens up new business opportunities for expanding the range of Vitamin D products offered, and will in the future, facilitate entry into the lucrative 68% “orally dispersible tablet” (ODT) market. Drugs of the general formulated and administered as an ODT circumvent population suffer problems associated with swallowing (sometimes known with dysphagia as dysphagia). A recent report from the UK reported that 68% of the general population suffer from some form of difficulty in swallowing their medications. 68+

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN: 009 179 551

Possible applications for Linguet include pharmaceuticals due to come off patent in the near future. Linguet offers the potential for extending market exclusivity or patent “evergreening” through development of new and patented dosage forms.

Linguet is able to be used in a wide range of therapeutic applications enabling a rich hunting ground to create world-class products that meet the commercial need. Such breadth of choice allows for a de-risked business model.

Our Market Opportunity

Linguet offers opportunities to address the issues of Dysphagia. As healthcare providers are looking to reduce costs, the issue of patient compliance is becoming ever more important. Such Healthcare Providers are trying to reduce the length of stay and treatment within the Secondary Care market, pushing patients out from hospital and back into the community. As there is less supervision in the community for medicines management and monitoring of patient compliance, the requirement for more accessible ways to improve compliance will become increasingly important.

Our Strategy

The class of drugs Imugene is targeting is referred to as “super generics” – by this we mean taking known drugs or molecules and improving the way they are delivered within the body, to create a differentiated product which can attract a premium price and stand out in the generic drug market.

There are three key aspects to the strategy:

“Approximately 39% of all product launches from 2002 to 2005 were reformulations of existing pharmaceutical products rather than new chemical entities.”

THERAPEUTIC MARKET

Imugene will develop a prescription Vitamin D tablet for buccal delivery. Linguet supports “buccal” administration of drugs straight to the blood stream via absorption through the lining of the mouth. There are direct links between several diseases such as diabetes, cancer and chronic kidney disease and a deficiency of vitamin D.

While current vitamin D supplements are available over the counter and by prescription, they do not deliver sufficient amounts or consistent amounts of Vitamin D due to the varying absorption rates of the drug when it is passed through the gastro-intestinal tract via an oral delivery method.

Intellectual Property

Imugene currently has rights to a family of patents/patent applications and Trademarks that protect the core drug delivery platform technology (Linguet). The future competitive position of Imugene will depend on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection of existing and future intellectual property, including its platform technology, improvements, products, clinical uses and production processes.

A family of patents and patent applications protects the Linguet technology, as follows:

  • ‘Buccal Delivery System’, granted in Australia (AU 2006 230,820), Russia (2,406,480), New Zealand (NZ 563,311), China (200680010802.4), Japan (5256425) and allowed in Europe (067213584.6), with applications proceeding in other designated countries (PCT/AU2006/000472), namely Canada, the USA, Hong Kong and India;

  • ‘Buccal and/or Sublingual Therapeutic Formulation’ (PCT/AU2010/000594), has entered national/regional phase of examination in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Europe and the USA;

  • ‘Formulations and Therapeutic Uses Thereof’, New Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2013901834 covering Vitamin D and analogues.

The Linguet trademark has been registered under Class 05 in Australia (renewal 2016) and New Zealand (renewal 2017), and internationally under the Madrid Protocol[TM] (renewal 2017).

A key activity for Imugene is to obtain maximum protection of its Linguet technology and to retain a position of exclusivity for this approach. Prosecution of the current patent applications is continuing with granted patents in Australia, New Zealand and Russia and pending patents in other jurisdictions. However, Imugene will also focus on strengthening its position by identifying potential vulnerabilities in these patent applications, undertaking research to address these issues and applying for new patents to protect the research outcomes.

Imugene will also seek patent protection for new intellectual property, including improvements to the platform technology, specific Linguet candidates and their applications. As a minimum, patent applications will be made in the US, the European Union, Canada, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand and most other English-speaking countries.

Directors’ Report

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘consolidated entity’ or ‘group’) consisting of Imugene Limited (referred to hereafter as the ‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Imugene Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Dr Nicholas Ede (appointed 11 February 2013) Mr Steve Harris (appointed 1 August 2012) Mr Paul Hopper (appointed 31 October 2012) Mr Fabio Pannuti (appointed 31 July 2012, resigned 11 February 2013) Dr Warwick Lamb (resigned 31 October 2012) Mr Roger Steinepreis (resigned 1 October 2012) Mr Graham Dowland (resigned 31 July 2012)

Directors’ Report (continued)

In February 2013, Imugene announced changes to its Board and Management structure with the appointment of Dr. Nicholas Ede as an Executive Director. Dr Ede has a record of successfully evolving research concepts to commercial products and processes. He has over 25 years’ experience in drug discovery and international business development gained at Chiron (acquired by Novartis), EqiTX, Mimotopes, Adistem and Consegna.

Along with the appointment of Dr Ede, existing Non-Executive Director, Mr Steve Harris, stepped forward to fill the role of Non-Executive Chairman of the Company following the resignation of the former Executive Chairman, Mr Fabio Pannuti.

The new Director and management structure, together with the existing Non-Executive Director, Mr Paul Hopper, has taken a very prudent approach to all expenditure, drug development, and overhead expenses by cutting monthly cash burn to 20% of 2012 levels.

The Board and management team have also engaged The CFO Solution with whom they’re working very closely with to manage all of the Company’s financial and company secretarial functions, which has resulted in substantial cost and time savings allowing management to focus on fast-tracking its development programs.

Imugene continues to use outsource specialised professional partners and consultants to minimise its overall internal overhead, enabling maximum efficiency and focus from its personnel to generate product and early revenues.

During the twelve months ended 30 June 2013, the Company completed feasibility testing and formulation development for two initial Vitamin D formulations which have been enhanced using Imugene’s proprietary Linguet drug delivery technology.

Consumer Healthcare

Imugene is developing firstly a vitamin D supplement tablet, which melts in the mouth, better known as a “meltlet”. The novel formulation, which utilises the Company’s Linguet™ technology, is designed to address issues of the unpleasant taste of vitamins, and alleviate the stress that millions of people face worldwide who suffer with difficulty in swallowing particularly different forms of vitamin tablets. During the year, Imugene commissioned its own research to firstly validate the issues people have with swallowing and secondly, confirm a melt-in-the-mouth tablet is a solution that is desired. Our research has been supported by discussions held with Australian nutraceutical companies. The vitamins and supplements industry is big business in Australia, worth an estimated $1.5bn each year and the industry is growing at up to 12% annually.

Therapeutic Program

One-third of Australian adults are Vitamin D deficient.

Imugene will develop a prescription Vitamin D tablet for buccal delivery. Linguet supports “buccal” administration of drugs straight to the blood stream via absorption through the lining of the mouth. There are direct links between several diseases such as diabetes, cancer and chronic kidney disease and a deficiency of vitamin D.

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Directors’ Report (continued)

While current vitamin D supplements are available over the counter and by prescription, they do not deliver sufficient amounts or consistent amounts of Vitamin D due to the varying absorption of the drug when it is passed through the gastro-intestinal tract via an oral delivery method.

Commercialisation progress

Imugene’s formulations of Vitamin D have now advanced through formulation development. There is a high level of interest amongst pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies for new and innovative forms of Vitamin D given the rising rates of deficiency and the lack of novel dosage forms in development. Imugene has commenced preliminary licensing discussions for its nutritional supplement form of Vitamin D.

Events Occurring After Reporting Date

In August 2013, Imugene reported that after completing formulation development on its novel Linguet form of Vitamin D, it had progressed to commercialisation discussions with Australian vitamin manufacturers and suppliers.

In August 2013, Imugene also reported the official granting of a key Japanese patent application for the Company’s novel drug delivery technology Linguet™ (patent no: 5256425), following on from an earlier allowance in March 2013.

In September 2013, Imugene announced the discontinuance of its ibuprofen programme.

In September 2013, Imugene reported that the European Patent Office had issued an Intention to Grant Communication for the Company’s novel drug delivery technology Linguet™ (patent no. 062721354.6)

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Imugene terminated its animal health vaccine portfolio in September 2012 after a final review. Imugene is now a pharmaceutical business with a drug delivery platform at the centre of its assets focusing on consumer healthcare products and Vitamin D therapeutics.

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

Remuneration Governance

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 (continued)

Non-executive directors

The maximum amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at a maximum of $5,000 per director per month. 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. 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, longterm performance incentives and other remuneration such as superannuation. Superannuation contributions are paid into the executive’s nominated superannuation fund.

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.

Short-term and long term incentives

Contractual agreements with key management personnel provide for the provision of incentive arrangements should these be introduced by the company. There are currently no short-term or long-term incentive schemes in place within the company.

Securities Trading Policy

The trading of Company’s securities by employees and directors is subject to, and conditional upon, the Policy for Trading in Company Securities which is available on the Company’s website (www.imugene.com)

C Service agreements

Executives

The employment conditions of the executive director, Dr Nicholas Ede are formalised in a contract of employment which commenced on the 11 February 2013. This contract stipulates a salary of $180,000 pa, inclusive of superannuation and a termination period of four months.

Imugene Limited has a contract with The CFO Solution, a specialist public practice, focusing on providing back office support, financial reporting and compliance systems for listed public companies. Through this contact the services of Mr Phillip Hains and Mr Justyn Stedwell (from 20 December 2012) were provided. The contract commenced on 20 December 2012 and can be terminated with three months’ notice of either party.

Non-executive Directors

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remunerations is separate and distinct.

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors considers advice from external sources as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company.

The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration.

The base fee for a non-executive director is presently $60,000 pa, plus GST. Directors invoice the Company monthly for these amounts on a pro rata basis.

Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“Principles & Recommendations”), the Company has followed each recommendation where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where the Company’s corporate governance practices follow a recommendation, the Board has made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of the recommendation. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has offered full disclosure and reason for the adoption of its own practice, in compliance with the “if not, why not” regime.

Additional information about the Company’s corporate governance practices is set out on the Company’s website at www.imugene.com.

Board of Directors

Role of the Board

The Company has established the functions reserved to the Board, and those delegated to senior executives and has set out these functions in its Board Charter.

The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company through its key functions of overseeing the management of the Company, providing overall corporate governance of the Company, monitoring the financial performance of the Company, engaging appropriate management commensurate with the Company’s structure and objectives, involvement in the development of corporate strategy and performance objectives and reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance.

Skills, Experience, Expertise of each Director

A profile of each director containing their skills, experience and expertise is set out in the Directors’ Report.

32 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Director Independence

The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations.

From 31 October 2012, the Board has consisted of a majority of Independent Directors with two of three directors being independent. Non-Executive Directors Steve Harris and Paul Hopper are both Independent Directors. Executive Director Nicholas Ede is not an Independent Director.

Prior to 31 October 2012, the Board did not consist of a majority of independent directors as the presence of at least one independent director on the Board was seen as sufficient given the size of the Company and the Board and the nature of the Company’s operations.

From 11 February 2013, the Board has been Chaired by Independent Director, Steve Harris. Prior to 11 February 2013, the Board was Chaired by Fabio Pannuti (31 July 2012 to 11 February 2013) and Graham Dowland (1 July 2012 to 31 July 2012) who were not Independent Directors. During this time, the Board believed it was appropriate to have the Chairman involved in the management of the Company. In situations that present a possible conflict of interest to the Chairman, the lead independent director will act as Chair.

The role of the Executive Director / CEO and the Chairman are not exercised by the same individual.

Independent Professional Advice

To assist directors with independent judgement, it is the Board’s policy that if a director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of their office as a director then, provided the director first obtains approval from the Chair for incurring such expense, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.

Selection and (re)Appointment of Directors

In determining candidates for the Board, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee follows a prescribed procedure whereby it evaluates the skills, experience and expertise of the existing Board. In particular, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is to identify the particular skills that will best increase the Board’s effectiveness. Consideration is also given to the balance of independent directors. Potential candidates are identified and, if relevant, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee recommends an appropriate candidate for appointment to the Board. Any appointment made by the Board is subject to ratification by shareholders at the next annual general meeting.

The Board recognises that Board renewal is critical to performance as well as the impact of Board tenure on succession planning. Each director other than the Executive Director, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting of the Company following the Director’s appointment or three years following that director’s last election or appointment (whichever is the longer).

33 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

However, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company. At each annual general meeting a minimum of one director or a third of the total number of directors must resign. A director who retires at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting and there-appointment of directors is not automatic.

The Company’s Policy and Procedures for the Selection and (Re) Appointment of Directors is available on the Company’s website.

Board Committees

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee which consists of the three Board members and is Chaired by Independent Director, Steve Harris. Due to the size of the Company and the Board, the three Board members act as the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter describes the role, composition, operations and responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee consists of a majority of Independent Directors. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee by ensuring that the director with the conflict of interest is not party to the relevant discussion.

Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms part of the Directors’ Report. Non-executive directors are remunerated at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities. Remuneration for non-executive directors is not linked to individual performance. Pay and rewards for executive directors and senior executives consists of a base salary and may include performance incentives. Long-term performance incentives may include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay at market rates and are reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness.

There are no termination or retirement benefits for non-executive directors (other than for superannuation).

The Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.

Audit Committee

The Board has established an Audit Committee, which consists of the three Board members and is Chaired by Independent Director, Paul Hopper. Due to the size of the Company and the Board, the three Board members act as the Audit Committee and carries out its functions in accordance with the Company’s Audit Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, operations and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. Due to the size of the Company and the Board the Audit Committee does not consist of only non-executive directors. The Audit Committee consists of two non-executive Directors (who are also Independent Directors) and one Executive Director. The Audit Committee consists of a majority of Independent Directors.

34 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises, as recommended by the Audit Committee. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit Committee and any recommendations are made to the Board.

The Company’s Audit Committee Charter and the Company’s Procedure for Selection, Appointment and Rotation of External Auditor are available on the Company’s website.

Performance evaluation

Senior Executives

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for evaluating the Executive Director and other key executives where performance is evaluated against key qualitative and quantitative key performance indicators. The evaluations are carried out by conducting a formal interview and review with senior executives annually. During the Reporting Period an evaluation of senior executives took place in accordance with the process disclosed above.

Board, its Committees and Individual Directors

The Board conducts a formal self-evaluation process of the Board, its Directors and Committees through the completion of a survey and questionnaire by each director designed to evaluate Board, director and committee performance and identify areas of scope for improvement. Results from the self-evaluation review process are tabled and discussed and any appropriate practices to improve performance are implemented.

An evaluation of the Board, its committees, and individual directors commenced in accordance with the process disclosed above the 2013 financial year.

Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

Code of Conduct

The Company has establish a Code of Conduct as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity, the practices necessary to take into account its legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders and the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices. The Company’s Code of Conduct is available on the Company website.

Diversity

The Company values the differences between its personnel and the valuable contribution that these differences can make to the Company.

At this stage, the Board does not consider it relevant to establish a diversity policy as the Company has no employees, but instead has administrative and technical services provided to it by consultants.

35 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

The Company will consider adopting a diversity policy in the 2014 financial year. As the Company’s grows and requires the services of permanent staff, the Company does intend to recruit personnel at all levels from as diverse a pool of qualified candidates as reasonably possible based on their skills, qualifications and experience.

The Company does not have a diversity policy and therefore has not set any measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. There are no employees in the organisation and there are no women in senior management positions or on the Board of Director’s.

Policy for Trading in Company Securities

The Company has established a policy concerning trading in the Company’s securities by directors, senior executives and employees, and their “connected persons” (which includes spouses and controlled entities).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Corporate Information

The financial report of Imugene Limited and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on the 27th day of September 2013. The financial report is for the Group consisting of Imugene Limited and its subsidiaries.

Imugene Limited is a listed public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The principal activity of the Group is the research and development of drug delivery technologies.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, required for a for-profit entity.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.

Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

Going Concern

Some of the risks inherent in the development of pharmaceutical product include the uncertainty of patent protection and proprietary rights, whether patent applications and issued patents will offer adequate protection to enable product development or may infringe intellectual property rights of other parties, and obtaining the necessary drug clinical regulatory authority approvals. Also a particular project may fail the research and the clinical development process through lack of efficacy or safety, or maybe stopped or abandoned due to strategic imperatives including an assessment that the projects will not deliver a sufficient return on investment or have been superseded by newer competitive products or technologies. There is a risk that the company will be unable to find suitable development or commercial partners for its projects, and that these arrangements may not generate a material return for the company.

Based on current budget forecast assumptions, the Group has sufficient funds to meet current commitments and to pay its debts when they fall due for a period of 12 months from signing the financial report. Additional funds will need to be accessed however to progress the groups research & development programs. The ability of the group to successfully access additional capital, and the amount of additional funds required is dependent on the outcome of its product research & development programs.

Notwithstanding the material uncertainty pertaining to the ability of the Group to continue to access additional capital, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly the financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

The following amending Standards have been adopted from 1 July 2012. Adoption of these Standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that
applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
dealing with the accounting for consolidated
fnancial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation -
Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations
when an entity is considered to be controlled by
another entity and includes new guidance for
applying the model to specifc situations, including
when acting as a manager may give control, the
impact of potential voting rights and when holding
less than a majority voting rights may give control.
Consequential amendments were also made to

AASB 11 Joint
Arrangements
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint

Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures.
AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB
10 to defne joint control, and therefore the
determination of whether joint control exists
may change. In addition it removes the option
to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs)
using proportionate consolidation. Instead,
accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent
on the nature of the rights and obligations
arising from the arrangement. Joint operations
that give the venturers a right to the underlying
assets and obligations themselves is accounted
for by recognising the share of those assets and
obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers
a right to the net assets is accounted for using the
equity method.
Consequential amendments were also made to
this and other standards via AASB 2011-7, AASB
2010-10 and amendments to AASB 128.

value, but rather, provides guidance on how to deter-
mine fair value when fair value is required or permitted.
Application of this defnition may result in different fair
values being determined for the relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for
all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes
information about the assumptions made and the qual-
itative impact of those assumptions on the fair value
determined.

being recognised in other comprehensive income. It
also revised the method of calculating the return on
plan assets.
The revised standard changes the defnition of short-
term employee benefts. The distinction between
short-term and other long-term employee benefts is
now based on whether the benefts are expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date.

AASB 9 Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classifcation
and measurement of fnancial assets. It wasfurther
amended by AASB 2010-7to refect amendments
to the accounting for fnancial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the
approach for classifcation and measurement of
fnancial assets compared with the requirements of
AASB 139. The main changes are described below.
(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments
will be classifed based on (1) the
objective of the entity’s business model
for managing the fnancial assets; (2) the
characteristics of the contractual cash
fows.
(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial
recognition to present gains and losses
on investments in equity instruments
that are not held for trading in other
comprehensive income. Dividends in
respect of these investments that are a
return on investment can be recognised in
proft or loss and there is no impairment
or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
(c) Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through proft
or loss at initial recognition if doing so
eliminates or signifcantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency
that would arise from measuring assets
or liabilities, or recognising the gains and
losses on them, on different bases.
(d) Where the fair value option is used for
fnancial liabilities the change in fair value
is to be accounted for as follows:
• The change attributable to changes in credit
risk are presented in other comprehensive
income (OCI)
• The remaining change is presented in proft or
loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting
mismatch in the proft or loss, the effect of the
changes in credit risk are also presented in proft or
loss.
Further amendments were made by AASB 2012-6
which amends the mandatory effective date to
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2015. AASB 2012-6 also modifes the relief
from restating prior periods by amending AASB
7 to require additional disclosures on transition to
AASB 9 in some circumstances.
Consequential amendments were also made to
other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced
by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7
and 2010-10.

Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Imugene Ltd as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholder 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.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealized profits/losses arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Imugene Limited.

Revenue recognition

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

Interest - control of the right to receive the interest payment.

Licensing revenue - right to receive the licensing revenue has been confirmed.

Research and Development Tax concession rebates are recognised upon lodgement of the group’s income tax return which incorporates the registration for Reserach & Development Tax Incentive approved Innovative Australia made under section 27A of the Industry Reserach and Development Act 1986.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is expected to compensate.

Continued from Note 1.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis.

Business Combination

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

  • (i) the consideration transferred;

  • (ii) any non-controlling interest; and

  • (iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.

Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Continued from Note 1.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment, once they become over due by more than 60 days. A separate account records the impairment.

An allowance for a doubtful debt is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. The criteria used to determine that there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred include whether the Financial Asset is past due and whether there is any other information regarding increased credit risk associated with the Financial Asset. Bad debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified.

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 Executive Director.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Group is based on the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The functional currency of the Group is Australian dollars.

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to local currency at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction.

Amounts payable to and by the Group outstanding at reporting date and denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to local currency using rates prevailing at the end of the financial year.

All exchange differences are taken to profit or loss.

Income tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting loss nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting loss nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Continued from Note 1.

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows arising from operating activities are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis (i.e. including GST) and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured at cost or fair value less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Such assets are depreciated over their useful economic lives as follows:

Life Method
Plant and equipment 3-5 years Straight line

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or infinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in an accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

52 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Continued from Note 1.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.

The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not available for use, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying values of non-financial 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. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffer an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset is then written down to its recoverable amount.

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:

  • Impairment of intangible assets

In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of assets are determined using estimations of the present value of future cash flows 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. Refer to note 10 for more details.

  • Fair value of financial liability

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

  • Acquisition accounting

In accounting for the acquisitions made during the prior year, the Group had to make a number of judgements and estimates in determining the fair value of the amounts acquired and the purchase consideration paid/payable. Refer to note 16 for further details.

53 Imugene Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

IMUGENE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ACN: 009 179 551

Continued from Note 1.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Licensing fees are recognised as an expense when it is confirmed that they are payable by the Group.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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.

Financial liabilities

Borrowings and other financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the amounts origianlly received for borrowings and other financial liabilities (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest rate method.

Employee benefits

  • Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave payments expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other provisions in respect of employees’ service up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

  • Long Service Leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, to the estimated future cash outflows.

  • Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or to providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

Continued from Note 1.

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction (net of tax) of the share proceeds received.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted for:

  • » costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • » the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses;

  • » other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Parent Information

The financial information for the parent entity, Imugene Limited, disclosed in Note 22 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated statements.

  • (i) On 31st July 2012, the Company acquired 100% of issue shares of Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd from Consegna Group Limited. The assets acquired include the Linguet Patented Buccal Delivery intellectual property. For further details, please refer to Note 16 Business Combination and Note 13 Other Financial Liabilities.

  • (ii) In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are determined based on a discounted cash flow model, using estimates of the present value of future cash flows using asset-specific discount rates.

At 30 June 2013, the Board has reviewed the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model that was used to evaluate the carrying value of the newly acquired Linguet Patented Buccal Delivery intellectual property and believe the assumptions remain reasonable. The Board has resolved to maintain the carrying value of the intellectual property at its current level and no impairment has been charged. The Board will re-evaluate the carrying value of the intellectual properties at 31 December 2013.

As at 30 June 2013, the carrying value of the intellectual properties is $1,004,817 (30 June 2012: nil).

Refer to Note 16 Business Combination.

  • (iii) At 30 June 2012, the Board had resolved to impair the carrying value of the intellectual property to nil due to considerations outlined below:

  • » The global licence agreement with Novartis was terminated during the financial year 20112012, with an 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.

Note 17. Financial Instruments, Risk Management Objectives & Policies

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.

A written policy has been adopted for overall risk management.

(b) Risk mangement policy

The Board is responsible for overseeing the establishment and implementation of the risk management system, and reviews and assesses the effectiveness of the Company’s implementation of that system on a regular basis.

The Board and Senior Management identify the general areas of risk and their impact on the activities of the Company, with Management performing a regular review of:

  • » the major risks that occur within the business;

  • » the degree of risk involved;

  • » the current approach to managing the risk; and

  • » if appropriate, determine:

  • ø any inadequacies of the current approach; and

  • ø possible new approaches that more efficiently and effectively address the risk.

Management report risks identified to the Board through the monthly Operations Report.

The Company seeks to ensure that its exposure to undue risk which is likely to impact its financial performance, continued growth and survival is minimised in a cost effective manner.

  • (c) Significant accounting policy

Details of significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis for measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables represents their fair values determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 1.

Interest revenue on cash and cash equivalents and foreign exchange movements on trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are disclosed in notes 6 and 11.

(d) Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or reduce its capital, subject to the provisions of the Company’s constitution. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributed to equity holders of the Company, comprising contributed equity, reserves and accumulated losses disclosed in notes 14 and 15. By monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to the Board by the Company’s Management the Board monitors the need to raise additional equity from the equity markets.

  • (e) Financial risk management

The main risks the Company is exposed to through its operations are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risks via the cash and cash equivalents that it holds. Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The objective of managing interest rate risk is to minimise the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rate that might impact its interest revenue and cash flow.

To manage interest rate risk, the Company locks a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents into term deposits. The maturity of term deposits is determined based on the Company’s cash flow forecast.

Interest rate risk is considered when placing funds on term deposits. The Company considers the reduced interest rate received by retaining cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s operating account compared to placing funds into a term deposit. This consideration also takes into account the costs associated with breaking a term deposit should early access to cash and cash equivalents be required.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is assessed to be insignificant.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss for the Group. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Risk is also managed by investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of financial assets at the end of the reporting period, including the value of any collateral or other security held is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provision) as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk as follows:

  • » preparation of cash flow analyses related to its operating, investing and financing activities;

  • » obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

  • » managing credit risk related to financial assets; and

  • » investing surplus funds with reputable financial institutions.

(f) Net Fair Values The Directors consider that the carrying amount of fnancial assets and liabilities recorded in the fnancial statements approximate their fair value. (g) Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value The fnancial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of fnancial position have been analysed and classifed using a fair value hierarchy refecting the signifcance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices) (level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs (level 3).
In 2013 and 2012, none of the Group’s assets and liabilities had their fair value determined using the fair value hierarchy.

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 statements of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 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 1, 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 company’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 company’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.

Opinion

In our opinion:

(a) the financial report of Imugene Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(a).

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our opinion, as disclosed in the financial report, Imugene Limited incurred a net loss of $1,599,566 during the year ended 30 June 2013 and is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Imugene Limited for the year ended 30 June 2013 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
