Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending 31 December 2015

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Basis of preparation

This half year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an Annual Report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group.

Accordingly, this financial report should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by Imugene Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

New Accounting Standards

There are no new accounting standards or interpretations that affect the financial position of the Company to be adopted this reporting period. All accounting policies adopted are consistent with the most recent Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2015.

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imperatives including an assessment that the projects will not deliver a sufficient return on investment or have been superseded by newer competitive products or technologies.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 Group 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 Group.

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 Group’s 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.

Page 10 of 22

==> picture [131 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

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.

R&D Tax Incentives

The Groups’ research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from 1 July 2011. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. For the six month period to 31 December 2015 the Group has included an item in other income of $416,367 to recognise this amount which relates to this period.

Share-based Payments

The value attributed to share options issued is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on an option pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant share option value require assumptions to be made in relation to the likelihood and timing of meeting the conditions of the shares and the value and volatility of the price of the shares.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of Imugene Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Imugene Limited consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Imugene Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,032,607 for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity and cash outflows from operating and investing activities equates to $997,972. These conditions, along with other matter as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
