XTOLL[®] - A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH IN THE TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

XToll[® ] is a variant of chaperonin 10 - a naturally occurring protein present in all cells. Unlike current registered anti-inflammatory drugs which “block” immune responses and can increase the risk of infection and the development of cancers, XToll[®] has a novel mechanism of action that appears to dampen excessive inflammatory responses thereby working to restore balance to the immune system, leaving it capable of surveillance for infections, viruses and cancer. It is this ability of XToll[®] to work with the body’s immune system rather than against it that offers the potential for therapeutic benefit with a strong safety profile. XToll[®] is being developed as a therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However it has shown signs of having a wide application in a number of autoimmune diseases.

Phase I and early Phase II clinical trials have been completed in RA, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, with a good safety profile demonstrated in all trials, and no pattern of serious adverse events linked to treatment.

In Q2 2011, CBio completed a 155-patient phase IIa clinical trial aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of XToll[®] in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis despite treatment with methotrexate. The preliminary results of this trial indicate that XToll[®] is showing biological activity and signals of clinical effect. An announcement regarding the preliminary results was made on 1 August 2011. Final results are expected in Q4 2011.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: CURRENT GLOBAL MARKET INFORMATION

Global sales for biological therapies for RA were US$8.6 billion in 2005[1] , anticipated to be over US$12 billion in 2009, and forecast to reach over US$18.5 billion by 2013.[2]

This RA market is currently dominated by the anti-TNF therapies Remicade, Enbrel and Humira. Whilst the primary market for these drugs is in the treatment of RA, they are used as therapies for other autoimmune diseases including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. In 2008, sales from RA in these top 3 drugs were US$10.9 billion.[3] However, the total global sales of these 3 drugs in all disease states were in excess of US$17 billion.[4]

Despite the success of these blockbuster drugs, up to 30-40% of patients with established RA do not respond clinically to the current leading therapies. Further, there are significant safety side affects associated with their use and therefore there remains a significant unmet need for new, safer, clinically efficacious therapies for RA.[5] In addition, in 2010, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) revised the 1987 classification criteria for RA to enable early detection. The new classification facilitates the early diagnosis of RA patients and has given a boost to the global treatment market.

The pipeline for rheumatoid arthritis therapies therefore remains strong.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: GLOBAL TREATMENT TRENDS

Since their emergence in the market Biological Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (bDMARDS) have revolutionised the treatment of RA throughout the world. bDMARDS help to treat pain, reduce symptoms, and slow the progression of joint damage. The leading biological DMARDs for the treatment of RA have been the tumor necrosis factor TNF inhibitors (or anti-TNF therapies).

Until now, anti-TNFs have been the mainstay of early management of RA with 86% of patients receiving these products.[6] However, rheumatologists predict that TNF use is set to change and estimate that first-line use of anti-TNFs will fall to 64% by 2015 in the face of higher usage of drugs that work by other mechanisms of action. Indeed, 2010 saw a general decline in the use of anti-TNFs across treatment lines.[7]

This provides an indication of the future direction of the rheumatoid arthritis market suggesting that physicians will introduce drug therapies that act via other mechanisms of action earlier at an earlier stage of the disease.[8] Rheumatologists predict that by 2015, more patients will be prescribed products that work by alternative mechanisms and they anticipate earlier usage of non-TNF biologics at first-line going forward, predicting a rise from 14% of first-line RA patients to potentially 36% in 2015.[9]

In all countries, across all lines of therapy research shows that rheumatologists believe that TNF inhibitors will be used in fewer RA patients in 2015.[10] The US market appears to offer the biggest opportunity for therapies that do not act on TNF targets.[11]

This is promising for companies developing therapies with novel mechanisms of action.

LUPUS: DISEASE AND MARKET INFORMATION

Lupus is a chronic, potentially life-threatening disease in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissue causing debilitating joint pain, organ damage and skin rashes. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that at least 5 million people worldwide have a form of lupus.[12] Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) accounts for approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus and in approximately half of these cases, a major organ such as the heart, lungs, kidneys or brain, will be affected. About 5% of children born to individuals with lupus will develop the illness, and it is believed that between 10-15 percent of people with lupus will die prematurely due to complications of the disease.[13] The mainstay treatment for lupus is the steroid prednisone, which has serious side effects, and doctors and patient advocates say patients are desperate for new medicines.

company & market information

GlobalData estimate the SLE lupus market to be worth $350 million in 2009 with a projected compound annual growth rate of 6% and projected market value to exceed $2.5 billion in 2017.[14] Products for lupus in the developmental pipeline are strong and pipeline molecules have a distinct advantage over the currently used offlabel marketed drugs in that they are primarily first-in-class molecules, as in the case of XToll[®] .

In March 2011 the FDA approved the first new drug for lupus in more than 50 years – a reflection of the complexity of the disease and also a clear indication of a major unmet clinical need. Analysts expect the new drug, Benlysta, to reach blockbuster status, with sales eventually topping $1 billion a year.[15]

chairman’s address

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to introduce CBio’s Annual Report for 2011.

The 2011 year has been an eventful one for CBio, highlighted by the completion in April of the phase IIa clinical trial in rheumatoid arthritis.

This clinical trial was a phase IIa study evaluating the safety and efficacy of XToll[®] in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis despite treatment with methotrexate. The primary endpoint of the trial was the comparison at the end of 12 weeks of the number of patients in each treatment group who showed at least a 20% improvement in their disease based on the American College of Rheumatology composite or combined scoring system (ACR20). A number of secondary endpoints, all chosen because of their importance as clinical measures of disease, were also monitored and evaluated throughout the trial.

The company released headline results from the trial on 1 August. Initial analysis of the data indicated that while the numbers of patients achieving an ACR20 at week 12 were not statistically significant between the treatment groups, there were a higher number of patients achieving an ACR20 in the XToll[®] groups than in the placebo (methotrexate) group. Further, statistically significant and clinically meaningful results were achieved in a number of the secondary endpoints. These results indicate that XToll[®] is showing a real clinical effect whilst also continuing to demonstrate an excellent safety profile.

The encouraging results also showed that the longer patients were receiving XToll[®] treatment the greater improvement they experienced.

XToll[®] has previously shown clinical or biological effect in a number of disease states – rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and lupus - and as such has demonstrated potential as a broad-ranging immunomodulatory compound. In the most recent phase II trial, XToll[®] has demonstrated that it has both clinical and biological activity and a unique method of action, and CBio was pleased to note the confirmation of XToll[®] as a potential first-in-class drug in a recent report on new treatments for rheumatoid arthritis by the global publication Scrip Clinical Research .

So what do these results mean for CBio? Will we do a deal with pharma major pharmaceutical company? Will there be another trial? Will we need to raise more money? These are all questions the company has received since the headline results were announced.

The strategic direction of the company remains unchanged. We believe we have solid grounds to indicate that in XToll[®] we have a potential new therapy for RA with a novel method of action and from this base we have released the data to several major pharmaceutical companies to elicit interest in the onward development and commercialisation of XToll[®] .

The Option Agreement remains in place with Novo Nordisk. We have presented the interim data to them and will provide the final clinical report including analysis of all data in October. Interim data has also been released to other interested pharmaceutical companies. It is unlikely that CBio can reasonably expect a response from all of these companies until they have had time to review the final report.

Will we 'do a deal with pharma'? The results we have received to date, whilst not conclusive, demonstrate XToll[®] 's potential as a new first-in-class selective modulator of the immune system. Based on these results, the company remains confident. Although some licensing and royalty terms have been pre-agreed as part of the Option Agreement with Novo Nordisk, it is far too premature to speculate on exactly what any future commercial agreement may look like.

Will there be another trial? Regardless of the outcome of the current phase IIa study, there have always been further studies required prior to registration. The phase IIa trial was to determine safety and efficacy. Further clinical trials would be carried out in collaboration with a partner and these studies would be directed to identifying the optimum dose regime and providing further information on XToll[®] ’s safety profile.

chairman’s address

In the immediate term, CBio has a continued focus on understanding and elucidating the method of action of XToll[®] , while at the same time planning for registration clinical trials. CBio will also plan for the commencement of a small phase I lupus study as a potential further indication for the use of XToll[®] .

The company will require additional capital, both to allow the Board to pursue commercial opportunities with phama companies over the coming months, and to continue the development of XToll[®] . The Board has already commenced raising these funds and earlier this month announced a Rights Issue to raise up to $10.8 million, and is underwritten to this amount. The company has been well supported by its shareholders over a long period of time and I hope that support can continue with this current capital raising.

The Board continues to believe that XToll[®] may be useful in a number of disease states and therefore remains committed to building CBio as an early-stage drug development company in order to exploit any and all commercial opportunities available for XToll[®] or new drugs that may become available.

It is disappointing to report that the company has received a notice pursuant to s249D of the Corporations Act, which calls for the removal of three current directors. A small group of shareholders who hold around 5.5% of the issued capital of the company have issued the notice and are seeking the appointment of three of their own candidates as directors. This shareholder group has made a number of false claims, both in the press and in their client newsletters. The company will respond to these false claims and a general meeting of members will be held in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act to vote on the removal and appointment of directors.

Your Board underwent a number of changes during the year, with Dr Terje Kalland, Dr Thomas Lönngren and Mr James Greig all appointed as directors, while both Stephen Streeter and Dr Dennis Feeney left the Board during the year. In addition to the new appointments, the Board recently formed a Remuneration Committee and a Nominations and Governance Committee, details of which can be found in the Corporate Governance Statement in this Report.

I take this opportunity to thank the staff, the management team, the Board and of course you, our shareholders, whose continued support has enabled the company to reach this point.

ceo review

Dear Shareholder,

The period under review has seen CBio reach a number of critical milestones including the completion in April of this year of the phase IIa clinical trial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the release, subsequent to the balance date, of the headline clinical trial results. Significantly the trial results showed that XToll[®] is demonstrating biological and clinically meaningful activity in patients. Analysis of patient samples taken during the clinical trial has revealed data that supports the view that XToll[®] is a novel immunomodulator, and it also supports the finding that the longer the patients were using XToll[®] the greater improvement they saw with their RA symptoms.

The final clinical trial report is not due until October, however the interim data has provided enough evidence for your Board to believe that there are very encouraging signals from the clinical trial to support the continued development of XToll[®] .

We have released interim trial data to numerous pharmaceutical companies, including Novo Nordisk with whom we have an Option Agreement. Interactions with these companies will be ongoing over the coming months, and I look forward to updating you in due course on these interactions.

Now to the other operations of the Company in the 2011 financial year.

The company has continued to work to milestone targets – namely the completion of the clinical trial and the progression of the prioritised set of development activities that will add the greatest value to our primary asset, XToll[®] . To this end, funds have been applied to the completion of the clinical study, the further strengthening of the patent portfolio, the commencement of regulatory filing processes, scale-up of drug substance activities to address future manufacturing requirements, preparations for long-term toxicology studies, and studies into the mechanism of action.

During the year CBio completed an animal study into the effectiveness of XToll[®] in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The results from the lupus study, conducted with the University of Munich, show significant potential for the treatment of SLE and strengthen the company’s view that its lead compound XToll[®] has utility beyond a single indication of RA. An abstract from the study was accepted for and subsequently presented at the 74[th] Scientific Meeting of the American College of Rheumatologists (ACR), held in Atlanta in November 2010. We have now commenced planning for a small phase I study in lupus patients in order to continue to add to the volume of data we have on XToll[®] .

Work on the scale-up of the manufacture of XToll[®] from the current small-scale production to commercially viable quantities has continued throughout the year and is a project that is likely to be ongoing for some time. CBio has utilised the specialist manufacturing facilities at Hospira (Australia) Pty Ltd in Adelaide for the manufacture of XToll[®] through to this point. However, the ability to manufacture XToll[®] in significantly larger quantities will be critical to the commercial success of the drug.

Preclinical and mechanism of action studies have also been ongoing throughout the year to 30 June. The company is currently engaged with a number of third-party research institutions and contractors who are conducting a number of studies into the mechanism of action of XToll[®] . The way in which XToll[®] works inside the body to combat inflammation is currently unknown and discovering the mechanism of action is essential, not only for commercial reasons but also to better understand XToll[®] ’s potential application in a range of other disease states.

Regulatory preparations have advanced significantly and CBio will seek a meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration following the receipt of the final study report from the phase IIa RA clinical trial, and has engaged a leading European-based regulatory consulting firm to advise on its submission to the European Medicines Agency. Both regulatory submissions will require commercial manufacturing solutions and a full pre-clinical and clinical development plan through to registration.

Critical to the potential future value of CBio is a robust and extensive portfolio of intellectual property assets and the company has continued to expand its geographically diverse patent portfolio. In this past year, ten patent

applications proceeded to “granted” making a total of 80 patents issued and a further 91 patents currently pending. This comprehensive patent protection is wider and stronger than the protection the company had when it listed on the ASX in February 2010 (42 granted and 86 pending). One of the new patents that have been filed is for the “prevention and treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus”. Also of note, “modified Cpn10 and PRR signalling” has proceeded to national phase in 15 jurisdictions. During the year the Company also reported that its cornerstone ‘immunosupression’ patent, which includes the ‘composition of matter’ claim on XToll[®] , was granted in both Europe and Japan, and the life of the patent in the United States has been officially extended by 911 days in the US market, providing key protection through to May 2026.

The company has continued to raise capital in order to have sufficient funding for its clinical program and to provide for other development and commercialisation activities. $14.4 million was raised during the year from a Rights Issue ($9.3 million) and a share placement ($5.1 million). In addition, the company issued 11 $150,000 Convertible Notes during the year under a $12.45 million funding facility with the SpringTree Special Opportunities Fund, LP. Of the Notes issued during the year, 9 were repaid in cash and 2 were converted to shares and options in accordance with the agreement. The facility with SpringTree was terminated by mutual consent following the end of the financial year.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the company has announced an underwritten Rights Issue to raise up to $10.8 million. These funds will enable CBio to progress commercial discussions with pharma, to continue the development of XToll[®] , and to commence a phase I clinical trial in lupus. Further details on the funds raised and shares issued during the year can be found in Note 15 Issued Capital in the attached Notes to the Financial Statements.

The focus for the coming period remains the receipt of the clinical trial final report and continuing commercialisation discussions, and I look forward to reporting to you updates against these milestones.

I would like to thank the entire staff of CBio for their commitment and tireless efforts in a very demanding year. For their guidance and leadership this year, I would like to thank the Board of Directors For your continued support I thank you, our shareholders.

corporate governance statement

CBio Limited is committed to protecting and enhancing shareholder value and adopting best practice governance policies and procedures. At a minimum, CBio will ensure that all regulatory requirements are met and ethical standards are maintained. CBio Limited adheres to recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition)(Principles). Any deviations by the Company from these Recommendations are outlined below.

The Directors are responsible for the corporate governance practices of the Company. This statement sets out the main corporate governance practices of the Company that the Directors, management and employees are required to follow.

Role of the Board

The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the success of the Company through setting its strategic goals, establishing resources and overseeing its management processes. Its aim is to create and deliver shareholder value by maximising the performance of the business.

The primary roles of the Board include:

  • (a) chart strategy and set financial targets for the Company;

  • (b) monitor the implementation and execution of strategy;

  • (c) monitor performance against financial targets;

  • (d) appoint and oversee the performance of executive management; and

  • (e) generally take and fulfill an effective leadership role in relation to the Company.

Power and authority in certain areas is specifically reserved to the Board – consistent with its function as outlined above. These areas include:

  • (i) composition of the Board itself including appointment and removal of Directors;

  • (ii) oversight of the Company including its control and accountability systems;

  • (iii) appointing and removing the CEO;

  • (iv) reviewing and overseeing systems of risk management and internal compliance and

  • control, codes of conduct, and legal and regulatory compliance;

  • (v) monitoring senior management’s performance and implementation of the approved strategy;

  • (vi) approving and monitoring financial and other reporting;

  • (vii) overall corporate governance of CBio including the strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals; and

  • (viii) oversight of the Audit & Risk Management Committee.

Responsibility for the operational conduct of the Company’s business has been delegated to the Chief Executive Officer who reports to the Board.

Composition of the Board

The CBio Board has nine Directors, comprising three executive Directors (including the Chairman) and six nonexecutive Directors. Details of each Directors skills and experience are set out in the Director’s Report.

Directors (except for the Chief Executive Officer) are subject to re-election by rotation at annual general meetings as stipulated by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company’s constitution. There are no maximum terms for Non-Executive Director appointments. Newly elected Directors must seek re-election at the first general meeting of shareholders following their appointment.

-9-

corporate governance statement

The Board assesses Director Independence on an annual basis, or as it feels necessary, depending on disclosure made by individual Directors.

The Board considers Dr Peter Corr, Professor John Funder, Dr Terje Kalland and Dr Thomas Lönngren to be independent Directors.

Due to the early stage of development of CBio, the Company does not believe it appropriate to maintain a structure where there is a majority of independent Directors. The Company’s Directors include some of the founders of the Company and significant shareholders. As the Company grows and the valuation of the Company’s intellectual property increases, the structure of the Board will change and greater levels of independence will be achieved.

The Board operates in such a manner as to facilitate the effective contribution of all Directors and promote constructive and respectful relations among Board members and between Board and management. To ensure that the principles inherent in good Board practice are adhered to, the Chairman implements the following:

  • (a) Proper meeting procedure ensuring that all members of the Board are given a proper opportunity to put forward views and discuss in a constructive and robust environment. This ensures that effective communication and contribution can be achieved.

  • (b) The requirement that detailed Board papers be prepared and distributed, ensuring that Board members are fully informed on relevant issues in a timely manner.

  • (c) If a potential conflict of interest arises, the Director concerned does not receive the relevant Board papers and leaves the Board meeting while the matter is being considered. Directors must advise the Board immediately of any interests that could potentially conflict with those of CBio.

The roles of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are exercised by different individuals, providing for clear division of responsibility at the head of the Company. Their roles and responsibilities, and the division of responsibilities between them, are clearly understood and there is regular communications between them.

The Board does not undertake a structured process to review its performance as a whole or that of individual Directors. The performance of individual Directors is monitored on an informal basis by the Board as a whole and is facilitated by robust and open communications between all Directors.

Non-executive Directors are permitted to participate in the share option plans of the Company. The provision of equity awards is a means by which the Company is able to attract and retain suitably qualified non-executive Directors, and given the size and stage of development of the Company, the Board considers this to be appropriate. Where required, any equity awards issued to non-executive Directors are approved by shareholders.

Ethical and responsible decision making

The Board and management ensure that the business processes of CBio are conducted according to sound ethical principles. The Board has established a formal code of conduct in this regard for Directors, management and staff.

The objective of this code is to give Directors, management and staff directions to follow when performing their duties, to enable them to achieve the highest possible standards in meeting their obligations.

The Board has established a share trading policy which applies to all Directors, management and staff. The policy permits trading in company securities within the parameters allowed by the relevant laws and regulations, including the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules.

The Company Secretary reports monthly to the Board on share trades conducted by Directors, management and staff to ensure that the Board is fully aware of any such trading and that it is conducted in a manner in which the Board believes is appropriate and inline with good governance practices.

corporate governance statement

Risk management

The Board, together with the Audit & Risk Management Committee, is responsible for satisfying itself that the Company’s risk management systems are effective, and for ensuring that:

  • (a) The principal strategic, operational and financial risks are identified;

  • (b) Effective systems are in place to monitor and manage risks; and

  • (c) Reporting systems, internal controls and arrangements for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations are adequate.

In addition to maintaining appropriate insurance and other risk management measures, the Board has taken the following steps to identify risks:

  • (a) Established a management-based Occupational Health & Safety committee to monitor and act on health & safety matters;

  • (b) Implemented policies in relation to the protection of the company’s intellectual property; and

  • (c) Implemented procedures requiring significant capital and revenue expenditure is approved at an appropriate level of management or by the Board.

The identified risks are monitored by regular reports to the Board and, where appropriate, by management presentations to the Board and to the Audit & Risk Management committee during the year. The Board determines the Company’s risk profile and is ultimately responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control.

The tasks of undertaking and assessing risk management and internal control effectiveness are delegated by the Board to management through the CEO, including responsibility for the day to day design and implementation of the Company’s risk management and internal control system. Management then reports to the Board on the Company’s key risks and the extent to which it believes these risks are being managed and adequate systems are in place.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include:

  • (a) Board approval of a strategic business plan, designed to meet stakeholder needs and manage business risk; and

  • (b) Implementation of Board approved budgets and operating plans and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

The key operational risks faced by CBio Limited include (but are not limited to):

  • (a) Scientific or clinical trial failure;

  • (b) Changes in technology which make CBio’s technology redundant or uncommercial;

  • (c) Increasing costs of operation;

  • (d) Changes to market or regulatory environments; and

  • (e) Timely availability of new capital.

The Company’s policy on the hedging of risk associated with equity awards is disclosed on page 25 of the Directors’ Report.

corporate governance statement

Diversity

The Board has not established measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity at present, although it is committed to considering the issue of diversity at least annually. The Company has 23 full-time equivalent employees from a wide variety of cultural and ethnical backgrounds and of various age groups. Of the 23 full-time equivalent employees of the Company, 12 are female, including 5 in senior management positions. There are currently no female board members.

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management committee, a Remuneration committee and a Nominations and Governance committee. Directors receive no additional fees for their role on any committee.

1. Audit and Risk Management Committee

The Audit and Risk Management Committee operates to an approved Charter, which governs responsibilities of the Committee and provides a forum for the effective communication between the Board and the external auditors. The Audit and Risk Management Committee reviews the annual and half-yearly financial statements prior to their approval by the Board and release to the ASX, the effectiveness of management information systems and systems of internal control, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the external audit functions.

The Company does not believe it is appropriate at this time for the Audit committee to comprise only nonexecutive directors, the majority of which are independent, as recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Company is satisfied that the members of the audit committee are suitably qualified to discharge their duties as required.

Membership of the committee currently comprises:

  • (a) Stephen Jones (Executive Chairman); and

  • (b) Dr. Michael Monsour (Non-Executive Director).

The Audit & Risk Management Committee invites the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and External Auditor to attend meetings. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer sign a statement to the half yearly and yearly accounts to the effect that the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view in all material respects of the Company’s financial condition and operational results, and are in accordance with the relevant accounting standards.

Minutes from Audit Committee meetings are circulated to the entire Board. In order to ensure that all Directors have access to the Company’s Auditor and in the spirit of good governance, the Board has agreed that Nonexecutive directors of the Company will schedule an annual meeting with the Company’s Auditor, which will not be attended by members of the Audit Committee, to discuss any matters relating to the audit of the Company.

2. Remuneration Committee

It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the remuneration committee links the nature and amount of executive directors’ and officers’ remuneration to the Company’s financial and operational performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

  • Retention and motivation of key executives.

  • Attraction of high quality management to the Company.

  • Performance incentives that allow executives to share in the success of CBio Limited.

-12-

corporate governance statement

For a full discussion on the Company’s remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period, please refer to the remuneration report, which is contained in the directors’ report.

There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits to non-executive directors.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors themselves, the CEO and executive team. In September 2011, the Board established a remuneration committee, comprising three non-executive directors:

  • (a) Dr. Michael Monsour (Non-Executive Director);

  • (b) Professor John Funder (Non-Executive Director); and

  • (c) Dr Göran Ando (Non-Executive Director).

As the Committee was only formed in September 2011, it has not yet formally met. However, it is expected the remuneration committee will meet periodically, or as often as required.

3. Nomination and Governance Committee

The Board has established a Nomination and Governance Committee, which will meet periodically, to ensure that the board continues to operate within appropriate corporate governance guidelines, including when necessary, selecting and recommending candidates for the position of Director.

The Nomination and Governance Committee was formed in September 2011 and comprises three executive directors and one non-executive director:

  • (a) Professor John Funder (Non-Executive Director);

  • (b) Mr Stephen Jones (Executive Chairman);

  • (c) Mr Jason Yeates (Managing Director); and

  • (d) Mr James Greig (Finance Director).

As the Committee was only formed in September 2011, it has not yet formally met, however it is expected the Nomination and Governance committee will meet at periodically, or as often as required.

CEO and CFO certification

In accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the CEO and CFO have provided a written statement to the board that:

  • Their view provided on the Company's financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the financial policies adopted by the board

  • The Company's risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all material respects

The board agrees with the views of the ASX on this matter and notes that due to its nature, internal control assurance from the CEO and CFO can only be reasonable rather than absolute. This is due to such factors as the need for judgement, the use of testing on a sample basis, the inherent limitations in internal control and because much of the evidence available is persuasive rather than conclusive and therefore is not and cannot be designed to detect all weaknesses in control procedures.

Details of the KMP of the Company are set out below.

Mr. S Jones Executive Chairman, Mr. J Yeates Managing Director and CEO, Dr. G Ando Non-executive Director, Dr. P Corr Non-executive Director, Prof. J Funder Non-executive Director, Dr. M Monsour Non-executive Director, Mr. J Greig Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, (appointed 31 January 2011) Dr T Kalland Non-executive Director, (appointed 1 December 2010) Dr T Lonngren Non-Executive Director, (appointed 27 January 2011) Dr. D Feeney Executive Director, (resigned 24 November 2010) and Mr. S Streeter Non-executive Director.(resigned 20 April 2011).

Board Remuneration Responsibilities

CBio’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain Directors and employees by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of each employee to the continues growth and success of the Company.

The Board has various responsibilities in relation to the Company’s human resource and remuneration framework. During the year under review, the Board as a whole was responsible for all matters relating to remunerations which would otherwise be attended to by a remuneration committee. Subsequent to the end of the year, the Board formed a Remuneration Committee which will now be responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration arrangements for non-executive directors, executives and employees.

-22-

directors’ report

The Board approves the aggregate remuneration paid to Directors, which is subject to shareholder approval. An aggregate Non-Executive Director Fee pool of $750,000 was approved by shareholders on 15 July 2011.

The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving policy recommendations from the CEO in relation to employee remuneration. Such policy should aim to set remuneration which:

  • (a) Is competitive, equitable and designed to attract and retain high quality employees;

  • (b) Motivates executives to pursue the long-term growth of the Company; and

  • (c) Establishes a clear relationship between executive’s performance and their remuneration.

Non-executive Director Remuneration Arrangements

Remuneration policy

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Director (NED) aggregate fee pool shall be determined from time to time by shareholders in a general meeting. The latest determination was on 15 July 2011 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $750,000 per year.

The Board will not seek any increase for the NED pool at the 2011 AGM.

Structure

The remuneration of NED’s consists only of Directors fees. NED’s do not receive committee fees or any retirement benefits. However, they are able to participate in incentive plans in which share options and performance rights may be issued.

In addition to the payment of Director fees, the Company’s constitution provides that the Board may approve additional amount of remuneration to individual Directors for extra services rendered from time to time. Consulting services provided by entities associated with NED’s are not considered to be remuneration in nature and are disclosed in Note 22 Related Party Transactions. It also provides that Directors can be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by them in the course of discharging their duties.

For the year ending 30 June 2011, each NED was entitled to receive Directors fees totalling $50,000 (plus appropriate on-costs) per year.

The remuneration of NED’s for the year ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 is details on page 27 of this report.

Executive Remuneration Arrangements

Remuneration levels and mix

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company.

In order to attract and retain high calibre employees, the Company aims to provide each individual executive with a market competitive remuneration package that is commensurate with their position and responsibilities and which is geared towards aligning their interests with those of shareholders. As such, executive remuneration packages include a fixed element and at-risk elements in the form of long-term equity based incentives. The Company may make discretionary payments to key management personnel and other staff, although it does not have a formal policy on the payment of discretionary amounts.

-23-

directors’ report

Structure

  • In the 2011 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components: ► Fixed remuneration

  • Variable remuneration

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration includes base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits. In the case of Executive Chairman, fixed remuneration includes Directors fees. For the year ending 30 June 2011, the Chairman was entitled to receive directors fees of $75,000 (plus appropriate on costs). Consulting fees paid to entities associated with the Executive Chairman are not considered to be remuneration in nature and are detailed in Note 22 Related Party Transactions.

Executive contracts of employment do not include any guaranteed base pay increase. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually.

The fixed component of executives’ remuneration is detailed on page 25 of this report.

Variable Remuneration- short-term incentives (STI)

The Company operates an annual STI program that is available to executives and employees and awards a cash bonus subject to the attainment of certain objectives.

The total potential STI available is set at a level as to provide sufficient incentive to executives and employees to achieve the operational objectives and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Actual STI payments awarded to each executive or employee depend on the extent to which operational targets are met. The targets consist of a number of financial and non-financial operational objectives, and corporate and individual measures of performance, including:

  • Capital raising;

  • Strategy implementation;

  • Risk management;

  • Compliance; and

  • Leadership

These measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short-term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long-term value. No STI payment is available to be made to executives or employees of the Company without the approval of the Chairman.

For the 2011 financial year, 100% of the STI cash bonus of $95,000 accrued in that period vested to executives and employees and was paid in that year. There were no forfeitures or alterations to the STI program during the year.

Variable remuneration- long-term incentives (LTI)

Long-term incentives (LTI) are reserved for Directors, executives and employees who have performed to a required performance level and who are regarded as being of strategic and/or operational importance to the Company. The issue of LTI’s increases the market competitiveness of remuneration packages and facilitates the attraction and retention of high calibre executives and employees.

The Company currently offers LTI’s in the form of share options, under an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), and performance rights.

-24-

directors’ report

Options

Options issued to employees generally vest over a three year period of continuous employment, unless determined otherwise by the Board. Options issued to Directors and executives generally vest immediately. All options held by Directors, executives and employees expire 31 December 2012.

2,000,000 share options were issued as remuneration during the year as an incentive for Dr Terje Kalland and Dr Thomas Lönngren to join the CBio Limited Board as Non-Executive Directors. Both Dr Kalland and Dr Lonngren bring considerable scientific expertise to the CBio Board and the offer of LTI’s enabled the Company to secure their services without incurring a considerable cash outlay. There were no other share options issued as remuneration during the year.

Details of share options issued during the year are set out in Note 20 of the Financial Report with those issued to Directors detailed on page 26 of this report.

Performance Rights

Performance rights operate in a similar manner to share options, and grant the performance right holder the right to acquire one share per performance right held based on the occurrence of a vesting event. While no performance rights were issued during the 2011 financial year, 1.2 million performance rights were granted to Non-Executive Directors on 15 July. A further 1.9 million performance rights were granted to employees on 15 July also. No performance rights were granted to executive Directors or the Company Secretary.

Performance rights vest on the occurrence of any one of the following events:

  • a) if, under a Takeover Bid or otherwise, a person (together with his or her Associates) acquires Shares or a relevant interest (within the meaning of the Corporations Act) in Shares that, when aggregated with Shares already acquired by such person (and their associates), constitute at least 19.9% of the issued Shares of the Company and, in the case of a Takeover Bid, the Takeover Bid is or has become unconditional; or

  • b) pursuant to an application made to the court under section 411 of the Corporations Act, the court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company; or

Employment Contracts

Non-Executive Directors are subject to ordinary election and rotation requirements as stipulated in the ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s constitution. Accordingly, there are no specific employment contracts with nonexecutive Directors.

All executive key management personnel are employed under individual service contracts. Each contract outlines key terms of employment, including the executives fixed remuneration. It is the Company’s general practice that

-25-

directors’ report

employment contracts do not have a fixed term. In certain circumstances, a termination payment of not more than one years’ salary may be payable on termination. No other benefits are payable on termination other than accrued statutory entitlements.

Key management personnel may terminate their contract with the Company following the provision of the required notice period stipulated in their employment contract. Notice periods vary depending on the period of service and the level of seniority of the executive. An executives’ employment may also be terminated by the Company without notice and without payment in lieu for serious misconduct and breach of contract.

To align Directors and executives interests with shareholder interests, Directors and executives are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the Company’s share option plans.

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of CBio Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 19 September 2011.

CBio Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since its listing on 15 February 2010.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) General

Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Accounting Standards Board.

As at 30 June 2011 there were no Australian Equivalents to International Accounting Standards or applicable pronouncements issued and not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the financial results or position of the Company.

b) Basis of Accounting

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value.

New accounting standards and interpretations, including those issued but not yet effective, are detailed in Note 26. The effect of adopting new standards and interpretations effective this year are also disclosed at Note 26.

c) Going Concern

The report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company incurred an operating loss after income tax of $13,679,994 (2010: $16,787,189) for the year ended 30 June 2011. At 30 June 2011 the Company has net current liabilities of $2,442,890 (2010: $5,393,267) and an excess of liabilities over total assets of $2,142,416 (2010: $4,776,893). These conditions give rise to significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

The Directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate due to a strong history of capital raising, current capital raising initiatives underway and the promising clinical results to date. The success of future capital raisings for CBio Limited will depend on the Company achieving positive results in the future clinical trials.

The Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in February 2010. This listing provides CBio with access to capital in a more timely manner from a wider pool of potential retail and institutional investors.

-33-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

c) Going Concern (cont’d)

CBio’s ongoing research & development program will require additional funding to be raised over the next 12 months. The Directors have already commenced raising these funds and subsequent to the balance date issued an underwritten Rights Issue Prospectus to raise up to $10.8m. Further, the Company had access (at the balance date) to a $12.45 million funding facility through to May 2013. The Company received $1,650,000 via this facility during the year, with a potential $7.70 million available over the remainder of the facility term as at 30 June 2011. The Company has received a further $150k under this facility subsequent to the balance date, although the facility was terminated by mutual agreement in August 2011.

Additionally, CBio has an agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S in connection with its Cpn10 asset. USD$3 million was received by the company in relation to this agreement during prior years upon the achievement of milestones in relation to the current RA clinical trial.

Should CBio not receive future funds, it may not be able to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the Company may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. This report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should CBio not be able to continue as a going concern.

d) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation and impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

2011 2010
Buildings 4% 4%
Plant and equipment 10%-50% 10%-50%
Computer equipment 20%-50% 20%-50%
Furniture and fittings 10%-20% 10%-20%

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

d) Property, Plant and Equipment (cont’d)

Any gains or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.

e) Acquisition of Assets

All assets acquired including property, plant and equipment and intangibles other than goodwill, are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. When equity instruments are issued as consideration, their market prices at the date of acquisition are used as fair value, except where the notional price at which they could be placed in the market is a better indication of fair value.

f) Recoverable Amount of Assets

At each balance date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.

g) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Terms of receivables are between 30 and 45 days.

Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis.

h) Intangible Assets

Intellectual Property

Amounts incurred in acquiring and extending patents are expensed as incurred, except to the extent that such costs are expected beyond any reasonable doubt to be recoverable.

i) Research and Development Expenditure

Amounts incurred on research and development activities are expensed as incurred, except to the extent that such development costs are expected beyond any reasonable doubt to be recoverable.

-35-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

j) Income Taxes

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 profit nor taxable profit and loss.

  • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary

  • differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward 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 or unused tax assets an unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arise 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 profit nor the taxable profit or loss; and

  • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance 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 asset 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 substantially enacted at the balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.

k) Other Taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (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 an asset or as part of an item of expense as applicable; or

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

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

k) Other Taxes (cont’d)

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash 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.

l) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short term deposits are stated at its fair value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are carried at the principal amount. Interest is charged as an expense on an accrual basis.

m) Revenue Recognition

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

  • Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) payable to the taxation authority.

  • Fee income derived from research & development contracts is recognised when specific milestones are achieved and the company becomes entitled to the income under the terms of the relevant contract.

  • Contract research income is recognised as and when the relevant research expenditure is incurred. When the consolidated entity received income in advance of incurring the relevant expenditure, it is treated as deferred income as the consolidated entity does not control the income until the relevant expenditure has been incurred.

  • License fees are recognised evenly over the life of the license.

Should the Company earn any income which is dependant on the satisfaction of certain contractual conditions, then such income will be treated as unearned income and be recorded as a liability until any conditions are met, at which time the income will be recognised.

o) Foreign Currency

The functional and presentation currency of CBio is Australian Dollars.

Foreign currency transactions are translated to Australian currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are translated at the rate of exchange ruling on that date.

Exchange differences relating to amounts payable and receivable in foreign currencies, and cash held in foreign currencies, are brought to account in the statement of financial performance as exchange gains or losses, in the financial year in which the exchange rates change.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

p) Trade and Other Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

q) Issued Capital

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

r) Leased Assets

Leases under which the consolidated entity assumes substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.

Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.

s) Superannuation

Contributions are made to approved employee superannuation funds at the rate of 9% of employees’ gross salaries as directed by the Superannuation Guarantee Legislation.

Contributions are recognised as an expense against income as they are made.

t) Employee Benefits

Provisions are recognised when CBio has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When CBio expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relative to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

t) Employee Benefits (cont’d)

Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the company expects to pay as at balance date, including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Long Service Leave

The amount provided for employee benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in connection with employees’ services provided up to balance date. The provision is calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the company expects to pay as at balance date, including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

u) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching 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 intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement of comprehensive income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

v) Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement.

Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

Convertible Notes

The component of the convertible note that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

On issuance of the convertible notes, the fair value of the embedded derivative and convertible note is determined and the residual (being the conversion option) is recorded as a separate component of equity. The net balance of the convertible note is recorded as an interest bearing liability. The liability is increased over the term of the liability using the effective interest rate implicit in the note. Any increase recorded is recognised as interest expense.

-39-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

v) Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings (cont’d)

Certain convertible notes contain a feature which allows options over ordinary shares to be issued. This option feature is recorded as an embedded derivative liability on issuance of the convertible note at the fair value of the embedded derivative. At each balance date while the convertible note is outstanding the embedded derivative liability is re-measured to fair value through the profit and loss.

w) Use and Revision of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial report requires the making of estimations and assumptions that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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.

x) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement for borrowings, finance charges in respect of finance leases and foreign exchange differences.

Interest payments in respect of financial instruments classified as liabilities are included in borrowing costs.

Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are netted against the relevant borrowings and amortised over their life.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the cost of the assets. Where funds are borrowed specifically for acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the capitalised amount of the borrowing costs include costs incurred in relation to that borrowing net of any interest earned on those borrowings.

Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.

y) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the parent entity for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation purposes), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of

-40-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

y) Earnings Per Share (cont’d)

conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

As the Company and consolidated entity incurred a loss for the current and previous year, potential ordinary shares, being options to acquire ordinary shares, are considered non-dilutive and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

z) Share-Based Payment Transactions

The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Company and to selected contractors in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby participants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

There are currently four plans in place to provide these benefits, a Director Share Option Plan, Executive Share Option Plan, Employee Share Option Plan and an Other Share Option Plan. The costs of the equity settled transactions with participants are measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of CBio Limited (‘market conditions’).

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company will ultimately vest. This opinion is based on the best available information at balance date.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest.

Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

aa) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses.

-41-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

aa) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined with using a Black Scholes standard model, with the assumptions detailed in Note 20(c). The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

Convertible Notes

The fair value of the embedded derivative and the convertible notes is determined using a Black Scholes standard model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to these components would have an impact on the carrying amounts of liabilities within the next annual reporting period, expenses and equity.

A proxy of other listed companies is used to determine the volatility assumption used in valuation models for share-based payments, other equity instruments and embedded derivatives.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, loans and convertible notes. The main purpose of financial instruments is to raise finance for company operations.

a) Risk exposures and responses

The Company manages its exposure to key financial risk, including interest rate risk and currency risk in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to ensure that financial risks faced by the company are known and can be managed appropriately.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board as a whole.

b) Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to its cash holdings and the convertible notes on issue.

The Company regularly monitors its exposure to interest rate risk to ensure that such exposure is within an acceptable range given prevailing market conditions at the time.

-42-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results which could result from a change in these risks.

As at 30 June 2011, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant, would be as follows. The table below shows the impact on cash to exposure to variable interest rates:

2011 2010
Change inprofit/(loss)and equity $ $
Increase in interest rate by 2% (66,874) (56,074)
Decrease in interest rate by 2% 66,874 56,074

c) Foreign Currency Risk

The major foreign currency exposures are in US dollars, Pound Sterling (GBP) and Euro dollars. This is as a result of cash funds held and both receivable and payable contracts entered into in these currencies. The company maintains foreign currency bank accounts denominated in both US dollars and GBP in order to minimize foreign currency risk exposure. The company had a deficit of foreign currency receivables over payables of $158,608 at 30 June 2011 (2010: $734,826 deficit).

Cash held in USD and GBP are the only assets exposed to foreign currency risk at the balance date. The Company does not hold any Euro dollars. Trade creditors are the only liability exposed to foreign currency risk at the balance date.

As at 30 June 2011, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the value of the Australian Dollar to the US Dollar, GBP and Euro Dollars, with all other variables remaining constant, would be as follows:

2011 2010
Change inprofit/(loss)and equity $ $
Improvement in AUD by 15% 450,207 347,033
Decline in AUD by 15% (569,124) (276,770)

d) Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to standardised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to and forming part of the financial report. The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments.

e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Company and the Company’s subsequent ability to meet its obligations to repay its financial liabilities as and when they fall due.

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash resources will be available as and when required as well as ensuring capital raising initiatives are conducted in a timely manner as required.

-43-

notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

f) Equity Risk

Equity risk arises as a result of the $12.45 million Convertible Loan Agreement entered into by the Company in May 2010. Under the Agreement, convertible notes issued by the Company may be converted into shares and options by the Noteholder. The number of shares and options issued is determined by the prevailing share price at the conversion date. Should the share price decline over time, a greater number of shares and options may be issued as repayment of the note liability.

The company is able to minimise its exposure to equity risk by enacting certain terms under the Agreement, which allow the Company to repay the note in cash if certain conditions are satisfied.

The Agreement was terminated by mutual consent in August 2011.

g) Net Fair Values

The financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. Their fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

The net fair values of financial assets approximate their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on standardised markets in standardised form.

The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial report.

  • (i) Fair Value The Company uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

  • Level 1- the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

  • Level 2- the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1

  • that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

  • Level 3- the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on

  • observable market data.

The Convertible notes issued by the Company are deemed to be a Level 2 financial instrument. The Company uses valuation techniques such as present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other relevant models used by market participants. These valuation techniques use other observable and unobservable market inputs.

  • (ii) Provided the terms of the Option Agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S are satisfied this unearned income is expected to be released into revenue during the next financial year. Refer to Note 24 for further details.

At 30 June 2011 the Company has significant estimated, unconfirmed and un-recouped losses as disclosed above. No future income tax benefit for the tax losses incurred by the company has been recognised as an asset. Because of the complexity of the Company’s changing shareholder base and operations, combined with income tax legislation, the amount of the Company’s available tax losses as at 30 June 2011 which are available for carry forward use can not be determined with a sufficient degree of probability. Management will undertake a detailed review of the ability to carry forward and use these losses on a needs basis. As a result of this the losses disclosed as available below may not be available in full.

Trade debtors 28,030 55,807

Terms and conditions

All receivables are non-interest bearing and are usually settled on terms of between 30 and 45 days. Credit risk is assessed as low on all receivables as CBio only deals with recognised credit worthy third parties. Credit risk assessments on an individual transaction basis are made by management. At 30 June 2011, $2,997 of trade debtors are past due but not impaired (2010: $8,780).

(b) Non-current

Bank Guarantee Deposit (i) 150,000 155,967

(i) SpringTree Notes

During the year the Company issued 11 Convertible Notes (SpringTree Notes) under a Convertible Loan Agreement dated 17 May 2010, raising a total of $1,650,000. These notes have a face value of $150,000 each and are non-interest bearing. The notes are repayable on the following terms:

  • On maturity, the Note shall convert into new Ordinary Shares of the Company determined by dividing the Principal Amount to be converted by the lesser of:

  • 140% of the average of the daily VWAPs per Share for the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to 16 May 2010; and

  • 90% of the lowest daily VWAP per Share during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately prior to the Repayment Date of that Repayment, (the Conversion Price)

Under certain conditions, the Note is also repayable in cash. The penalty for repaying the note in cash is equal to 5% (Jul-Feb) and 2.5% (Mar-Jun) of the Note face value.

On each repayment date, the Company shall grant the Investor, Options in the number equal to 20% of the number of the new Ordinary Shares issued or issuable on that repayment date, exercisable at a price equal to 130% of the Conversion Price applicable to the repayment.

During the year, 3 SpringTree Notes were converted to equity (one of which was outstanding at 30 June 2010) and 9 SpringTree Notes were repaid in cash. There were no Notes outstanding at the balance date. The facility has mandatory monthly draw down amounts of $150,000 to be converted/repaid in one month. A liability of $250,000 was recorded in the prior year to represent the fair value of this obligation.

The SpringTree Agreement was terminated by mutual consent in August 2011.

15. ISSUED CAPITAL (cont’d)

Capital Management

The Board controls the capital of the company in order to ensure that it can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The company’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and convertible notes and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by the Board to control the capital of the company since the prior year. The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 are as follows:

Total borrowings (at face value)
Trade and other payables
Less cash and cash equivalents
Net debt
Total equity (including liabilities at face value)

(i) As at the balance date, there were 37,084,849 share options on issue, 7,000,000 potential shares and 2,500,000 potential options which may be issued upon conversion of outstanding Convertible Notes, giving a total potential shares which may be issued of 46,584,849. These potential ordinary shares have not been taken into account when calculating the diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive nature.

(ii) In addition to amounts disclosed in Note (i) additional shares and options may be issued under the SpringTree facility as disclosed in Note 12(a). The facility is a $12.45 million AUD facility. Given the formula required to determine shares and options to be issued relies on future share prices, estimates of issuable shares and options cannot be made and will depend on future use of the facility. 800,000 shares have been issued as security for this facility. The SpringTree Agreement was terminated in August 2011 and SpringTree made a payment of $103,400 to CBio on termination of the agreement in connection with these shares.

Limits the scope of the measurement choices of non-controlling interest to instruments that
arepresent ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation.Other components of NCI are measured at fair
value.
Requires an entity (in a business combination) to account for the replacement of the
acquiree’s share-based payment transactions (whether obliged or voluntarily), in a consistent
manner i.e., allocate between consideration and post combination expenses.
Clarifies that contingent consideration from a business combination that occurred before the
effective date of AASB 3 Revised is not restated.
Clarifies that the revised accounting for loss of significant influence or joint control (from the
issue of IFRS 3 Revised) is only applicable prospectively.
1 July 2010 1 July 2010
Interpretation 19 Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
This interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a
financial liability are “consideration paid” in accordance with paragraph 41 of IAS 39. As a
result, the financial liability is derecognised and the equity instruments issued are treated as
consideration paid to extinguish that financial liability.
The interpretation states that equity instruments issued as payment of a debt should be
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if this can be determined reliably.
If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is not reliably determinable, the equity
instruments should be measured by reference to the fair value of the financial liability
extinguished as of the date of extinguishment.

26. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY (cont’d)

When the adoption of the Standard or Interpretation is deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Company, its impact is described below. There were no standards adopted during the period which were deemed to have an impact on the financial statements in the current year.

Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Company for the reporting period ending 30 June 2011. The Company has not yet assessed the financial impact to either the statement of comprehensive income or the statement of financial position once these accounting standards are adopted. These are outlined in the table below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets
resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement).
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement
of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes from
AASB 139 are described below.
(a)
Financial assets are classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business
model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual
cash flows. This replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in AASB 139,
each of which had its own classification criteria.
(b)
AASB 9 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 profit or loss and there is no impairment or
recycling on disposal of the instrument.
Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial
recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly 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.

and Interpretations 10 & 12]
► These amendments arise from the issuance of AASB 9_Financial Instruments_that sets
out requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. The
requirements in AASB 9 form part of the first phase of the International Accounting
Standards Board’s project to replace IAS 39_Financial Instruments: Recognition and_
Measurement.
► This Standard shall be applied when AASB 9 is applied.

AASB 124
(Revised)
Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)
The revised AASB 124 simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended
meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition, including:
(a)
The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as
related parties of each other
(b)
Entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by
a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each
other
(c)
The definition now identifies that, whenever a person or entity has both joint control
over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the
second and third entities are related to each other
A partial exemption is also provided from the disclosure requirements for government-related
entities. Entities that are related by virtue of being controlled by the same government can
provide reduced related party disclosures.

1039 & 1052]
This amendment makes numerous editorial changes to a range of Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations.
In particular, it amends AASB 8_Operating Segments_to require an entity to exercise
judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of
that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating
segment disclosures. It also makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to
the text of IFRS by the IASB.
1 January 2011 1 July 2011
AASB 2009-14 Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
These amendments arise from the issuance of Prepayments of a Minimum Funding
Requirement (Amendments to IFRIC 14). The requirements of IFRIC 14 meant that some
entities that were subject to minimum funding requirements could not treat any surplus in a
defined benefit pension plan as an economic benefit.
The amendment requires entities to treat the benefit of such an early payment as a pension
asset. Subsequently, the remaining surplus in the plan, if any, is subject to the same analysis
as if no prepayment had been made.

AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards
This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers
of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:
(a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards
(b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and
substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements.
The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial
statements:
(a) For-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this
Standard)
(b) The Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments
The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose
financial statements:
(a) For-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability
(b) All not-for-profit private sector entities
Public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local

The requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities were added to AASB 9.
The existing requirements for the classification of financial liabilities and the ability to use the
fair value option have been retained. However, where the fair value option is used for
financial liabilities the change in fair value is 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 profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of
the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss.

Consolidated
Financial
Statements
IFRS 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities.It replaces parts of IAS
27Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for
consolidated financial statements and SIC-12Consolidation – 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 specific 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. This is likely to lead to
more entities being consolidated into the group.

Joint
Arrangements
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31_Interests in Joint Ventures_and SIC-13_Jointly- controlled Entities –_
_Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures._IFRS 11 uses the principle of control in IFRS 10 to
define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may
change. In addition IFRS 11 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.
This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group.

Disclosure of
Interests in Other
Entities
IFRS 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint

and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

Fair Value
Measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for determining the fair value of
assets and liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value,
but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under IFRS when fair value is
required or permitted by IFRS. Application of this definition may result in different fair values
being determined for the relevant assets.
IFRS 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair
value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of
those assumptions on the fair value determined.

Independent auditor's report to the members of CBio Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of CBio Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and 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.

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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 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 judgment, 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 controls 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 controls. 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 have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Opinion

In our opinion:

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

  • i giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

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

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 22 to 28 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2011. 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 CBio Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which indicates that the company incurred a loss from continuing operations after income tax of $13,679,994 in the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: $16,787,189) and has current liabilities in excess of current assets of $2,442,890 as at 30 June 2011 (2010: $5,393,267) and is therefore dependent on the raising of additional funds to continue activities. As a result of this matter there is significant uncertainty whether the company will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern.
